A Tale of Two Predators

Posted by admin on Friday, June 25th, 2010

I painted up two Predator tanks.  The first one I built was a basic cannon with the bolter guns. The second, I decided to go all out with the twin linked Lascannons and the side Lascannons.  They turned out pretty good in my opinion.  I took my time on both of these instead of my [...]

New AT-43 Comic

Posted by admin on Thursday, May 13th, 2010

I haven’t made one in months.  I seem to have lost my Muse for drawing all together lately.  I hope I can find my spark again and get back to it.  Come to think of it, I think I owe Privateer Press some more comics as well.  I should get on that! www.at43comic.com

Sabol Army Transport

Posted by admin on Thursday, April 29th, 2010

I picked up a couple of Sabol basic troop bags.  I am VERY impressed with the quality of this product. The price for this bag was around 60 bucks and came loaded with foam.  This foam is a very ridged high quality pluck and pull foam.  You can hold a tray in one hand and [...]

Fortress of Redemption

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I put together the Fortress of Redemption last night.  I have seen Beasts of War do their build video and was impressed by the scale of this Fortress, but was actually surprised by how large this model actually is.  It was fairly easy to build with a lot of larger pieces that all fit together [...]

Imperial Bastion

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

I had some time last night so I put together the Imperial Bastion from GW’s Planet Strike terrain line.  It was a fairly simple piece to assemble.  It took approximately an hour.  It’s a dynamic model with moving weapons.  I didn’t glue down the weapon on the top, so that it can rotate as needed.  [...]

Chapel and Watch Tower

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

I have finished painting the remaining buildings in the Games Workshop Village box.  I used a technique of drybrushing the entire buildings.  They turned out pretty good in my opinion and only took about an hour for all three buildings.  I used a dark brown, then lighter brown, then bleached bone for the walls.  I [...]

Fortress Manor

Monday, November 30th, 2009

I finally finished painting the Fortress Manor house from the GW Warhammer Fantasy line of buildings.  It was a long drawn out paint  job totaling about 6 hours.  For me, that’s a long time.  I started out with a red drybrush over the black primer and it was looking great.  Then I started painting the [...]

GW Village

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I received the Games Workshop Village on Monday and must say, I’m impressed.  It’s the scenery buildings for the Warhammer Fantasy game line.  It comes with the Chapel, the Watch Tower and the Manor House.  I didn’t know this until I started putting it together but the Manor House is actually a Chapel and a [...]

SkyShield

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

I put together and painted the Skyshield from the Games Workshop terrain kits. It’s a rather large piece and was a pain to assemble. The blast shields surrounding the landing pad were designed to raise and lower. A few of the hinges were rather warped plastic which makes them a struggle to raise or lower [...]

GW Battlescape

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I assembled and painted the Games Workshop Battlescape last night.  It was a quick and simple build for a great looking model!  I think it’s going to look fantastic on the rest of my terrain.  I used a few different Earthy tones and drybrushed them on in layers.  The details on this model are great.  [...]

GW Building Sanctum Imperialis

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

I finished assembling and painting the Sanctum Imperialis from Games Workshops Cities of Death models.  If you’re interested in how I put it together, or how I painted it, you can check out my tutorials on this site. Here are some pictures of how it turned out.

GW Shrine of Aquila

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I painted up the Shrine of Aquila that I build yesterday.  It’s a huge building and was difficult to paint.  It took about 2 hours to do the whole thing.  I was trying to simulate the cover of the box it came in, but I’m pretty sure they airbrushed the whole thing.  I started out [...]

Building a Building

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

I put together the Games Workshop Shrine of Aquilla building yesterday and took some pictures and some notes.  This building is quite a big bigger then the last two I put together.  It came in fewer pieces, but was still a bit difficult to assemble. The main difference being that the walls are quite large [...]
