On to the Infantry!

Thor — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:57:27 +0000

I’ve decided to change my previous approach with Joe’s army. Now that the Dreads are pretty much done I’m going to keep on with the modeling side of things and jump to the infantry instead of taking a break and base coating the vehicles. I figure I may as well keep to the current process [...] Related posts:

The Dreadnoughts Walk

Thor — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:20:48 +0000

I currently have eight of Joe’s Dreadnoughts fully assembled. The last one I just have to finish gluing an arm and it’s done. So far I have six of those Dreadnoughts primed and should have all nine of them all primed by tonight. Once the priming is done I’ll be going back to the vehicles [...] Related posts:

What Does Your Gaming Record Say?

Thor — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:20:06 +0000

BoLS just posted up an article called Wargaming ASKEW: Arrogance is Bliss? and it got me thinking a little bit. What exactly does your gaming record say? Does having mostly wins with very few losses mean you’re a great player? On the other hand, does barely being able to win a game mean you’re terrible? [...] Related posts:

Awaken Necrons

Thor — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:04:25 +0000

Heading down to Crossroads tonight for the weekly 40K night and I’ll be bringing my Necrons. Lately it’s been slow at the shop on 40K night, last week just I showed up. Fortunately Dave, an employee, plays so we threw down a game. This week is looking scarce again but we have a few new [...] Related posts:

The Question of Primer

Thor — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:16:59 +0000

Still amazes me how many hobbyists forgo primer and will instead either paint directly on the surface or will use a matte spray paint as their base coat. I’m no expert, I can’t tell you the exact science of what makes a primer a primer, but I can tell you that it does make a [...] Related posts:

Hello…is Anyone There?

Thor — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 13:39:57 +0000

Having revised the format of my site to actually start blogging about 40K I’ve seen an increase in traffic, which is great. As I stated when I started doing this, I have no illusions that this is going to be anything revolutionary and become the must-read 40K blog out there. There are too many great [...] Related posts:

Making Your Own Foam Trays

Thor — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:23:52 +0000

This is another post I have had up on Tau Online for a while that I thought I’d share here. I’ve been making my own foam trays for a few years now and they’ve held up really well and they’re really cheap to make. I can make a tray that fits in a Sabol case that’s [...] No related posts.

Vroom, Vroom!

Thor — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:25:52 +0000

Did a lot of work on Joe’s Marine stuff over the weekend and have made some solid progress. So far I have 1 Razorback, 4 Rhinos, 3 Predators and 2 Land Speeders assembled and primed. Once I pick up some more primer I’ll have another 2 Land Speeders all set, hopefully tonight. Once I have [...] Related posts:

A Guide to Playing 40K Faster

Thor — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:33:57 +0000

I originally posted this on the Tau Online forum, original thread is here. Since I put a lot of work into this I wanted to carry it over here. As someone who plays some very quick games and some very long ones, I wanted to share some things I’ve learned during my years of playing [...] Related posts:

Battle Missions is Almost Here

Thor — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:16:18 +0000

March will see the release of the latest 40K expansion, Battle Missions. Bell of Lost Souls posted up a video sneak peak a few weeks ago that you can see over at the BoLS site. I can’t wait for this honestly. The price is good, the quality looks good and more importantly it gives [...] Related posts:

Yep, a New Theme

Thor — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:08:20 +0000

It was about time for a new look here. The theme I was using before I had built off of an existing theme. Since I was just getting familiar with WordPress I kept it simple. Many months later and having played around a lot with it, I’ve grabbed this great theme and am still in [...] No related posts.

March’s Tournament – Team Play (Retake)

Thor — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:45:31 +0000

On second thought, my often neglected Necrons will see the field in this team tournament. Nobody fields Necrons in the tournaments I’ve attended or on the regular Wednesday night 40K nights. I only know of one other person with Necrons and I know he won’t be fielding them. I figure let’s throw something out there [...] Related posts:
