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, April 22nd, 2010

I finally finished painting the Fortress of Redemption.  I know I have a ton more figures to paint, but this giant building was just screaming Paint Me! So I did. It seemed like it wouldn’t take too long once it was primed black.  I started with a fairly heavy dry brush of P3 Paints Bastion [...]

GW Figure Case

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

I recently picked up two GW figure cases.  The hard plastic, large briefcase looking cases.  The good thing about these cases are that they are rather large.  That’s about the only nice thing about them.  They are pretty awful for hauling figures around.  Let me explain. When you open the case you’ll notice on the [...]

Space Marines 1500 Point list

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Here is my progress as of today.  I just got done painting up 3 Rhinos and my last Scout.  All that I am missing right now is my Librarian.  I can’t seem to find one anywhere.  I have a Librarian in Terminator armor, but I don’t really want to proxy anything, so there you go.  [...]

Assault Marine Speed Paint

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

I started again painting my SM figures and was feeling a bit overwhelmed at the painting I still needed to do.  After a quick, yet through primer job, I set all 10 Assault Marines in front of me for a quick and dirty speed painting session. I stuck with my method for assembly line painting [...]

Space Marine Progress

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

So it’s been a few days since I’ve managed to have some time to paint and build my Space Marine figures.  Here are some shots at what I have so far. I still have quite a bit more to build, but for now, that’s my Space Marine collection.  Shorty after I took this picture, I [...]

Building a Rhino

Friday, December 18th, 2009

I put together the Rhino from the Space Marines Mega Force box last night.  Here is my build notes: First, there are so may options!  What kind of vehicle to build a Rhino or a Razorback?  Where should I put the gun?  Hatch open or closed?  Space Marine out almost all the way, or just [...]

Space Marines Mega Force!

Friday, December 18th, 2009

By now I’m sure you’re all familiar with the premise of this site.  I am a mini gamer.  I am very new to the entire hobby.  I’m unfamiliar with the myriad of games available, or the conflicts between the companies and players.  I know that there are a lot of you who have been playing [...]

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.  [...]

Speed Painting: Terminators

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

I finished my Black Reach squad of Terminators last night.  It was a fast and sloppy assembly line once again banging out the whole squad in the little time I had.  I completed the 4 Terminators and the 1 Terminator leader in 90 minutes.  Again, these aren’t perfect paint jobs, but I think it will [...]

Speed Painting

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

After watching the Beasts of War’s video on painting a Space Wolf Terminator I picked up some tips on how to achieve some very nice results relatively simply.  I had 7 more Space Marines to paint last night and after I set up my paint station I went in a picked up 2 more to [...]
