An other one bites the dust

Finished Reinholdt last night/this morning :)

He didn’t take long at all and looks great.

I decided to give him a bit of a Cygnar look, since he’s only ever going to be used with my guys in blue.


I simply have to add the front arc markings and coat him.

So now, I have Stryker and Reinholdt done, I have 3 Trenchers with completed jackets and chainmail and a primed plastic heavy jack.

Tomorrow I have a game scheduled with Jyggdrasil and I have the rest of the week off, so my goal is to have my multijack finished tomorrow and well as my trenchers (minus the one missing a gun barrel)

Sleep is over rated

So I find a way to get everything done in a day… give up on sleep!

Hey, it’s what I used to do when I was younger…

Yesterday’s itinerary

  • Spent the day at work (someone should tell my company that it was Family day)
  • Came home, had dinner with wife
  • Took dogs out
  • Watched Olympics (we should of won gold in snowboarding @#&@^)
  • Played STO while watching Olympics and bitching about snowboarding (made Lieutenant Commander and got my Science Wessel!)
  • Watched Sparticus TV Show (Holy gory! I love it)
  • Noticed it was midnight
  • Painted the base coat for the Trencher’s coats and Reinholdt’s coat
  • Washed Reinholdt’s coat and painted lapel
  • Highlighted Reinholdt’s coat
  • Collapsed at my painting desk
  • Woke up, now at work

Now, lets see how productive I’ll be today.

On an other note, looks like we may have found a date to start playing Descent, and I have a small Warmachine game scheduled for Thursday night!
Gonna try out a really cool Cygnar list I was thinking of between a few of the items in last night’s itinerary.

Slow Grow is Slow Moving

Wow… This is just not moving at the pace I wanted it too… but it’s my own damn fault.

Suffering from Gamer A.D.D. is not a f… ooh shiny!

Where was I? Oh yeah, so, a couple of buddies and I started playing Star Trek Online, which has taken most of my time… but I am now  a Lieutenant Commander, so I get to pick a new ship…

I’ve also been planing the start of a Descent Journey in the Dark campaign… which I’m really looking forward to.

In regards to the Gamer Journal though, I did manage to find a Reinholdt mini this weekend… he’s now primed as is my unit of trenchers (minus one who’s rifle barrel snapped off), so I’ll need to get a blister of them… and my Stormblades are pretty much screwed…

They were 2nd hand minis, and the paint removal process ended up removing detail… so once primed… they look like crap… so either I have to get a new box or swap them out for a Hunter (which I think may be better)

He’s Done!

Coleman Stryker is finished!

All I have left is to seal him, but he’s done! All the little pouches, done! All the little bolts and highlights, done! All the black lining, done!

YAY!

So now, according to plan, I need to finish priming Trenchers and start base coats…

Non update

I got NOTHING done last night… I got home and crashed on the couch… made dinner, Ange got home from her spinning class at 6:45 or so, so we had dinner, cleaned up, watched a bit of TV, while I drooled all over the Forces of Warmachine book and that was that.

But on a good note, I actually have a game scheduled for Saturday against Jyggdrasil… This should be interesting cause I haven’t played in over 3 years.

It’s a 35pts game… I have enough Cygnar to field that, but most aren’t assembled and now missing tabs, so I can’t even play with them unpainted… Menoth it is… hmm which caster? Good ol’ pKreoss? the HR? Feora? or should I try one that I’m not used too? I’m looking at you Amon and Reznik!

On an other note, I’m also having lunch with everyone’s favorite Necrotite Bunny today… cause SOMEBODY is all needy and stuff and NEEDS his bases…

A Painting we will go…

Spent a bit of time painting last night… and I’m having a blast working on the alternate pStryker, it’s a real fun miniature…

I’m going with a typical color scheme, but at the stage I’m at now… I could really just clean it up, do the little details and call it done…

But, Coleman is the signature man in blue, I’ll be adding that tonight. I decided to place him on his (almost completed) base for this picture.

Also, for those curious, here’s a pic of the bases.

Things are moving along

So, I actually got ahead of my game this weekend. Surprisingly since I did alot of non-Gamer Journal related gaming stuff.

First, with the Journal news…

I have finished all the bases for the list I finally came up with… oh? What’s the list you ask?

  • pStryker
  • Reinholdt
  • Defender
  • Stormblades
  • Min Trenchers

Stryker, well cause I like the Alternate Sculpt mini… and I actually used him in the past… Reinholdt, as much as his abilities are useful, he’s mainly there to fill in that extra point.

The Defender is there for many reasons… with some Khador and Menoth opponents, I’m sure I’ll be facing quite a few heavies, and he’s got the stopping power and has the shock hammer to do some cortex damage.

Then I had to take the trenchers as I just love the look and theme (and will add to it),  yes, they’re really expensive… and kinda squishy… but can’t I go for aesthetics?

To add some melee power, I added a unit of Stormblades.

So far, I’ve primed Stryker and started painting his jacket, finished the bases for everything, primed the stormblades and painted the metal bits… I still have to get some smaller rare-earth magnets in order to assemble my defender and have to find a reinholdt.

So, as I mentioned, I did a lot of other gaming related stuff this weekend… well Cangames is coming and I figured I should start work on the tables and terrain while I have lots of time… so I went to various shops around town and got materials I needed…

I completed a few linear obstacles for one of the themed tables… rows of crates and of ale barrels.

I also cut out enough rivets for a few of the buildings I’m making.

All in all, a pretty good weekend

Can I have some more?

Well it seems I’ve gotten to the point where I need to order some more minis since all three of my crews are done.

First up, the crew that first made me want to start playing this game… the Red Chapel Gang

Next up, Nicodem’s crew.

And lastly is my Criid crew with some reinforcements

Malifaux – Guests Checkin and they sure checkout!

An other weekend is over and an other building is approaching completion in my little mining town of Malifaux.
The Grand Central Hotel is mostly assembled and the denizens of Malifaux are gathering to see what the hoopla is.

I’ve added a balcony (which needs to be completed) to help with different levels for the games… windows from all sides.
As with all the buildings I’m making, you can remove the building from the base and use the floor plan.

I’ve also started work on some tents… made from a plasticard base, metal paper clip frame and canvas as the tarp.

Malifaux – oh that’s going to stain!

So the first three buildings are now stained (painted) and I have to say I love the look.
Here’s some shots taken from my phone… sorry… I was too lazy to set up the tripod and one of the good cameras (I’ve been cleaning all day cause the monster-in-law is coming over tonight)
