First flame....of war that is

Got my first U.S tank all finished up for Flames of War. I really had no idea what I was doing, and I do think it shows somewhat. I was surprised at how different these little things were to paint as opposed to a 28mm fig.
I am pleased with how it turned out though, and I do think it will look ok as a whole force rather than a magnified single piece.
As of this point in time, I think I'll be running a 29th infantry division with some medium tank backup.
Now to learn this game!

Old school Middy

Finished this guy up the other night. I don't know what it is about these Mid-Nor figs, but i get going on one, and I exclude everything else I'm working on till its done. I guess they are just that fun to paint. I tried a new gloss medium for the blood on this guy and I don't think I like it much. Really gave it a lot of goopyness. Perhaps it will work better if I do a bunch of gore.
After working on this guy I have a new appreciation for Rackhams older sculpts. I thought they were pretty sub-par at first but I am looking forward to another one now.

Daturazi Finished

So, to start things off on a better foot in October, here are some (finally) finished pics of my first Infinity fig.
I wasnt 100% sure about all the bright colors coexisting on this fig all at one time but I am rather pleased with him after all is said and done.
There ought to be lots more Morat to come as they are pretty fun to paint, and now that I have a color scheme nailed down it should be a ton easier to get them rolling out.

Thanks for checking him out.

Long time, no post

Well, the month of September was a brutal one as far as hobby time goes. I sat down to paint all of maybe an hour the entire month, and I didnt game one stinkin time! Now October has arrived with a little inclement weather, and this means work slows down and hobby time picks back up, Woohoo!
Hopefully this means the Blog posting picks up as well, and I can get things back and rolling.

So, keep your eyes peeled for new content and hopefully a lot more paint. 

Daturazi W.I.P.

Got a little done on this guy, and thought I'd show the progress. Unfortunately, these later summer months just so happen to be my busiest at work. So, getting this far on him was actually a bit of an accomplishment.
Now that I've started on him he should progress rather quickly.

I am also very open to color suggestions for this guy. I plan on doing his chest a deep gray color but I am at a bit of a loss as to how to paint the arms and legs. 

Small update 8/30

Incubus of the Despot

Well, this is the guy I had tried some different skin tones on , and I gotta say, I really like how he turned out.
The green was also a bit of a different choice, considering how the rest of the army is usually covered in blood. But these guys are supposed to be poisonous and toxic, so I thought it fitting. I do think I've finally kinda burned out on painting the Mid-Nor figs so much and should be moving onto some other things now.
We will see how long that lasts though, as these beautiful figures always seem to call out my name whilst I am painting something different. 

Getting a bit ridiculous!

Ok, anyone that knows me well, will know that I hate assembling models. I hate cleaning, filing, pinning, glueing......well you get the idea. Anyway, I noticed that because of my loathing for assembly I have gathered quite a collection of figs that are still in boxes.
So, my goal is to get all of these bad boys ready and primed by the end of August. Might happen, might not, but there are a lot of figs I'd like to start painting in this pile O shame. Wish me luck.
