Forgeworld Kaela Mensha Khaine's Loincloth (Completely painted this time)

(deja-vu) Never has been painting a loin cloth been so fun.  Here's the complete post this time.

Your blogs view counts could be taking a hit

As many of you know Faeit 212 is down.  If my work computer didn't block his site several months ago I would be rocking myself with pacifying behaviour in the corner with a string of saliva acting as the bridge from my mouth to the floor.  However, since they have I'm not nearly as affected as I would've been.

Airbrush 103: Making Paints into Airbrush Paints

This post has been done a couple of times now.  Wanted to make a post specifically about the process as I'm developing it.  Still refining the process of how to make paints into airbrush paints.  This is not the last post on the subject.  Hope there never is.  Refreshers are always helpful.

This model is really coming together.  What I didn't like about this model has grown on me.  As LT said "You are your worst critic."

6th ed Rules of the Game: Reviewing the difference between Wrecked and Explodes effects on passengers

Shawn suggested I put this up on the blog.  At first I dismissed it.  Thought about it a little more and agreed that this should be put on the blog.

6th ed Rules of the Game: Vindicare's Turbo-penetrator and Sniper special rule requesting feedback

Here's a little rule I've heard about.  Apparently there are two camps for how to exercise Vindicare's Turbo-penetrator round.  Connor mentioned this during our last game and asked him for more of an explanation.  Would like your thoughts.

Forgeworld Kaela Mensha Khaine part 2

This guy is going to be a lot of fun to paint.  Plan on trying out a lot of new techniques on him.  Ayce00, wants him to look really good.  Wants me to take my time on him.  Not the standard "characters look good not great" like Avatar and Eldar.  Really wants him to pop.

Figured instead of posting large pics explaining small details would take pics of those details.  Legs and bracers based Leadbelcher.  Lightly brushed to not completely cover the base.  Wanted to preserve that patina metal body look.

6th ed Rules of the Game: Tesla Weapons, Searchlight and Castellan Crowe

Learned a very important piece of information about Searchlight in the other nights battle.

13.4.17 1850 Grey Knights vs Imperial Guard - Most fun game with Grey Knights yet!

Damn.  What a terrifically fun game last night.  Imperial Guard armour against Purifiers with Psycannon.  A lot went wrong.  An ass-kicking ensued.  Most enjoyable game I've had so far with my Grey Knights.

Forgeworld Kaela Mensha Khaine part 1

Shawn handed me this bad boy several months ago.  Couldn't put anytime into it since I was working furiously on my Grey Knights.  Now that they are effectively done time to get back to the murder table.

When you feel your heart leaving the game

You may have had those times.  Something about the hobby just isn't giving you the same excitement as it once did.  It becomes a little harder to get excited.  Don't have the same bounce in your step or light in your eye.  Somethings missing and you're desperately looking for it before giving up.

Commission for you. Yes, I want to hire you.

It's what makes the world go around.  I'll buy the model.  I'll paint it to your specifications.  You scratch my back I'll scratch yours.

6th ed Rules of the Game: Moving Charging Models and Obliterators

Here are a couple of rules from last Tues game.

Hopes for Eldar 6th ed Codex

I've been talking with people about the Eldar Codex 6th ed.  Mostly we are spit-balling ideas and what  we'd like to see in the new codex.  This is not official.  I have no insider information.  No GW source.  This is just a dream, wet perhaps, about things I personally would like to see in the new codex.

Iron Warriors Banner commission

This was completely unexpected.  Hulksmash was looking to commission someone to paint a banner.  I threw my hat in the ring and here's the result.

Thanks to 40k buddy Connor my Purifiers are a little bit better.

6th ed Rules of the Game: Reserves, Go to Ground Area Terrain and Split Fire

Here are several rules from last weekend.  These aren't from my battle.  Just from a couple of battles 40k buddies were playing.

Damn.  Been about 10 years since I've laid eyes on this model.  Looking forward to my next Belial.

Here are several rules that came up in last weeks game.

Model/Painting Snobbery

This post may offend or put off some readers.  Now that's out of the way.  Onto the fun.  You've heard the stories.  When my army...  My vehicle...  My HQ...  My Flying Monstrous Creature...  Yep this post is about those lines.

First Impressions of 6th ed Chaos Daemons Codex & more codex creep

**This is a horrible post.  Don't even bother reading it**

Due to shipping and other logistics Fantasy Flight didn't get their copy of 6th ed Chaos Daemons til 10 days after release date.  This gives me a little more time to digest the book and developed first impressions.

10,000 views in one month. Thank you!

Damn, March was a fun month.  Hardly did any painting and played a lot of 40k games.

40k 6th ed Lexicon v1.9

There's a great deal of information about 40k all over the web.  Many of it uses short hand to communicate.  I'm compiling a lexicon to help me decipher what it means.  Warseer uses a great system of links to know what it means.  I endeavour to copy their method in the future.  In the mean time I hope you learn as much as I do if not more.

Tyranid Codex 2nd ed

Tasha, Suijin, Anons', Spyrle, Vargna and Hudson have provided entries.  If you'd like to provide some make a comment.  Will update this post and put credit where its deserved.
