Space Hulk Terminators: Paint in Progress

Greetings once again InterWebs!!! It has been a little while since the last post but I am still here; still dealing with some serious medical issues. I have been able to get a little painting in when I can and I am currently working on the Space Hulk miniatures for a friend. I would like to share some paint in progress shots of what I have so far.


The group of Terminators so far:

 A few closer shots:

I really like this miniature, so dynamic!

Here is a look at the Librarian in blue:

I still have quite a bit of work to do on these but it is nice to paint something again after several months away from painting. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Take care!

GenCon 2013: The Miniature Side of Things

Greetings once again InterWebs!!!!! My recapping of my GenCon 2013 experiences continues with a look at the Miniature side of things. We will have a look at a bunch of gaming tables for various miniature games and then we will have a look at some of the painting competition entries. Here we go!!!

The Front of the Forge World/ Games Workshop/ Black Library Booth:

In one of the Miniature Wargaming Halls I found a massive game of Warhammer Apocalypse that went on all day on Saturday. There was some awesome looking models and terrain including a Thunderhawk Gunship that was being used as terrain :-(

I have always loved the Armorcast Reaver Titan and this one was nicely done.

A fantasy version being setup. From the look at the armies held off table this game was going to be huge unfortunately my schedule prevented me from returning later to see it all unfold.

Continuing our look at Games Workshop miniature games being played here is a massive game of Space Hulk being played on 3D terrain:

I loved the Assault Ram that acted as the boarding location:

Now to step away from Games Workshop games and take a look at the many other game tables that were on display starting with a game of Sedition Wars:

Here are a bunch of really cool looking tables that caught my eye. I could not tell you what game system most of these are for but they are stunning gaming tables:

The water effects on this board were stunning even though they really don't show up to well in the picture:

I think this was a game of Infinity:

The red glowing effects from the hot metal in the buckets was awesome, somehow they all flickered like they were hot:

A largish game of BattleTech Miniatures put on by Catalyst Game Labs:

A D&D Skirmish Board set in the Under Deep:

Dust Tactics? All I know is it was Weird War II but still a cool looking table:

Mercs Minis!!!! Unfortunately my hectic schedule left me without any time to actually get a game of Mercs Minis in. I did have a blast talking with the Mercs gentlemen in their Dealer's Hall Booth, they are such nice people to chat with.

If this post was not long enough for you I would like to reward you for getting this far by giving you a look at some of the painting competition entries. This next pictures were taken through very thick glass so I apologize for their quality. Some of the entries:

That is it for now. Thanks so much for bearing with me on this long post! Next up I will be taking a look at the Roleplaying Game side of GenCon 2013 (which for me was a big part). Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Take care!

Blood Angel Librarians: Finished

Greetings once again InterWebs!!! I had a little free time which I managed to use up in the hobby room by finishing up the three Blood Angel Librarians that I use (not all at once) in my 4th Company Blood Angels army. You can see the paint in process (PiP) here if you would like to see the painting process. The three Librarians are a mixture of types including: Terminator Librarian (from the Space Hulk boardgame), jump pack equipped Librarian, and a 'foot-slogging' Death Watch Librarian; this should give me plenty of options to choose from when it comes time to use one in a game. Here are the pictures of the Blood Angel 4th Company Librarium:

Terminator Librarian with Force Axe and Storm Bolter

Here are a couple of shots of the scroll-work; I thought the Librarians would have plenty of esoteric/occult trappings about them:

My good friend Mordian 7th  likes to take pictures of his miniatures using some terrain to help 'set up' the picture of the miniature so I decided to give it a try:

Death Watch Librarian with Force Axe and Plasma Pistol
(I used this miniature in Fantasy Flight Games' Deathwatch role playing game)

A look at his scroll-work:

Jump pack equipped Librarian with Force Axe and Bolt Pistol
(this is the guy I tend to use the most whenever I take a Librarian)

A look at his scroll-work:

 I do like the pictures with the miniatures in the building, now the only thing I would like to see is a 'background' image outside the windows.....hmmmm; sounds like something I will have to look into. Well, that is all for now, thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Comments are always welcome! Take care!
