Personal and Commission Updates... and why does Wegmans hate Weebly?

Hi everyone. I would normally be posting some of this on the company website, Gamer's Pair O Dice, and some of this on here, but since the filter at Wegmans has decided that it hates my company site and blog I am forced to post it all on here. So, without any further a due, I have some interesting stuff for you.

Commission Work:
    So, first of all I have a commission that is almost done and another waiting in the wings. The one that is almost finished is Mulg the Ancient. I have to simply add the tartan pattern to his loincloth and he is finished.

As you can see in this shot, Mulg has Strakhov in his hand and is sort of looking down at him. The rocks have had an extra layer of highlight added to them and the model, in person at least, has a very strong presence. I will be adding the tartan pattern to his loincloth tonight and then putting on the final clear coat and flocking his base.

After Mulg is finished I will be hopping straight into another troll project which I think I have covered on the Gamer's blog which is a Trollblood multi kit that has been magnetized but needs some touch up and rebuilding.
I will be including pictures of that as soon as I can as it is a "hot mess" and I think it will look spectacular once it is finished.

Personal Projects:
    This has to be a large section of what I am doing right now. The Battletech miniatures for Historicon 2013 are on hold at the moment as I go on a Warmachine painting binge. Recently I acquired several models including Butcher 3, a Kodiak, a Conquest, a Gun Carriage, Battle Mechanik Officer, and a Devastator, Demolisher, Spriggan multi jack kit that I equipped as a Demolisher as I have 2 Devs and a Spriggan already.

The Gun Carraige and Kodiak

Horses, We don't need no stinkin' horses!

With the Gun Carriage I had been looking at it and realized that the model is pretty damn cool. I also noticed though that the Kodiak seemed to line up with it pretty well. I took a minute, shaved the point off the yoke, and came up with what you see to the left. The idea is that the Kodiak will actually be attached by a magnet, as will the horses. This will allow me the flexibility to have the Kodiak drawing the Gun Carriage behind it but also, if I really need to run 2 kodiaks, I can pull him off, put him on his own base, and mount the horses up. I think that this will make an interesting model on the tabletop and is something I haven't really seen online as usually the mods you see to the Gun Carriage is to convert it over to a steam powered tank. I also plan on drilling out the holes on the sides of the cannons and will hopefully have this painted up and finished before the end of the year. They will be done up in my 5th Border Legion colors.

The Rest of the Khadoran Horde

I have the reset of the models included in a video below. Everything is pretty basic. The Conquest is primed a ruddy brown as I plan to make him match the artwork as closely as possible. The Mechanic and the Demolisher are being done in the colors of the 5th Border Legion. I am up in the air on how to do Butcher. Part of me wants to make him and his Argi match the rest of the army, the other part of me though wishes to do them so that they are similar to the artwork for him. I will probably make up my mind soon, I hope. The video is below, after that I am including a "photo dump" of the minis so far for your enjoyment. 

Until next time - CJ

Post Game Review, 10/16 Steamroller

Well, I really don't have too much to say. I will say I enjoyed myself immensely and had a great time. It only went three games due to the number of players and I played against Menoth in round one andlost, great game though and the first time my Conquest has been defeated. The 2nd game was Cryx and try as they might, they couldn't bring Augie down. The final game was against Legion. I went with Karchev for the sheer fun factor and it was a straight up knock down drag out heavy beast and infantry vs heavy jacks and infantry brawl. Thanks to my opponents for the great games and thanks to The Game Vault for hosting this tournament..... I might want to start talking to the pressganger about maybe running a Foodmachine event.

Pics of 99% finished Conquest, and some other tings

So, here is Conquest, fully painted and mostly based. I just need to add snow and hit the arc marks and he is done.

That is all

Conquest and a Juggernaut

Not a major update today, a rough shot of my Conquest in my standard 5th Border Legion, and a Juggernaut in a Unbreakable 111th Scheme I decided to experiment with. Conquest took the better part of 2 weeks, The Juggernaut was 8 hours of painting......

Dear God, the Rivets!!!!!!

Now I just need to get them appropriately based. The Juggy will probly never see table time under me as I dont plan on building a full Unbreakable 111th. My Conquest, which I refer to as Augie, a recently passed pet, recently helped me win a game in which it "Hulk Smashed" its way through 3 Circle Warbeasts and 1 Light Cav model without breaking a sweat under the command of Harkevich.

Until next time, Happy Hunting.
