More to come!

Game Summit Prep Work

I offered to help Corey out again with some prep work he needed done. Last event I helped with painting some boards. This time he asked me to paint up a Fortress of Redemption. Its a decent chunk of plastic. Lots of nice details. I had to cut a few corners as I only got the piece a week ago and had FoW models to paint up as well...I think it turned out OK.

Every Painful Detail 24 and 25

The Mistake.


A little trick.

Every Painful Detail, pt 23: Heavy Gear

As Game Summit gets closer, work on the last of the Arena tables now begins.

This is kind of a reboot for the Every Painful Detail series. I'll be making more entries up until the last table is done.

Splinters of Chaos

CA$H here,

I just penned my final list for next weekend's local tournament "Splinters of Locara". It is being run by "Sober Gamer", and picks up right after last year's Locara campaign. For more info, please swing by HERE and feel free to take part! It really will be global, since games can be played anywhere. Without further mumbling, here is the list I have settled on:

HQ
Daemon Prince - 155 pts
Wings, MoS, Lash of Submission

TROOPS

Noise Marines x8 – 250pts
Sonic Blasters x 7
Noise Champion w/ Power Weapon and Doom Siren, Personal Icon, Melta bombs

Chaos Space Marines (10) - 255 pts
Aspiring Champ w/ Power Fist, IoCG, Meltagun(2)
Rhino

Summoned Lesser Deamons x8 - 104pts

ELITE

Chosen x5 - 165pts
Meltagun x4,Rhino

HEAVY SUPPORT
Vindicator – 125pts
Obliterator x3 – 225pts
Land Raider - 220pts

1499pts

I know it is a little heavy on points in the heavy support area, but the obliterators are all conversions, and I love me some Vindicator action (despite it rarely getting it's points back). So, what do you all think? I will be testing it out tomorrow for FNF(Friday Night Fights) and we shall see what I can accomplish with it.

I am open to suggestions and any/all input, but please keep in mind the idea wasn't to run a "net list" - I went with the models I love the look of, over functionality.
Oh, and pics of the whole painted army to follow tomorrow!

Cheers,

Every Painful Detail, pt 22: Terrain

Here's a look at some of the terrain I'm useful recently, the techniques, and explanations of why I do certain things.

Every Painful Detail, pt 21: Playtesting

A short look at a very small Fantasy tournament I had at my place to see how people like the tables I've been working on.

Twentieth torturous video

Every Painful Detail, pt 20: The Crik
Water goes in the crik. Everyone knows that.

Those stupid videos just keep coming

Every Painful Detail, pt 19: Thank God I'm a Country Boy

The Farm Table is close enough to finished that I'm calling it.

Every Painful Detail, pt 17 & 18: Farmville

Here are two videos about the latest table, which is a farm.

Yeeha!

Pt 17: Farmville


Part 18: More Farmville

Every Painful Detail, pt 16: Mixed Flock

The "quarry" no longer looks like a quarry.

Every Painful Detail, pt 15: The Quarry

Only lacking one finishing touch.



Are you getting tired of these yet?

Every Painful Detail pt 14: Back in Black

I hit the sack.

Every Painful Detail pts 13 and 14

Off to try some new stuff.

Pt 13: Cleansing the palette
Taking a break from the Necropolis to start another project that should go by quickly.



Pt 14: Quick Work
See? It doesn't take long to make a game table when you know what you're after.

Every Painful Detail, pts 11 and 12

Pt 11: All About Drywall Compound.

Working on drywall compound. Dull? Yes... but one day you may want to do the same.



Pt 11: Finally... Sand!
The moment I've been waiting for: The application of sand!

Every Painful Detail, pt 10: The River Returns

It appears I have figured out how to manage the very dangerous casting resin and successfully make a river. What next? The Necropolis awaits.

In other news: Does anyone besides me find it strange that Drunken Gamers of Ottawa's most frequent blogger is a non-drinker?

Every Painful Detail, pt 9: Back to the Land of the Dead

A few words about superhot resin (and that's "hot", not "hawttt"), and how to make tiles in foam.

Warning: My face is in this one.

Every Painful Detail, ep 8: Disaster Strikes

Well, I fucked THAT up.

Every Painful Detail, pt 7: Side Trip

I've been hard at work on my Khemri Necropolis table... but I need a break. I went off and did something else for a little while.



Enjoy.

Every Painful Detail pt 6: Bleached Boned

Bleached Bone. It's what's for dinner.
