WFB HOBBY: The Shelf of Shame - Empire
Well there it is in all of its procrastinated glory. I have even more unpainted figures for the Empire, but this is the army that I will be painting up according to the list that I drew up in my last installment. As you can see my force is ...
WFB ARMYLIST: Aventine does Skaven
So I first started playing Skaven when the last book came out. What was that, 2003? I took the army to the Dallas GT that year, had some fun with it, then only touched the army a handful of times ever again. Well the new book really changed all that...
The Art of War-hammer: Adeptus Titanicus Update 3
"To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy." I've gotten quite a bit more done on Minus' Warhound. I haven't been able to get many completely up to date pictures, they will have to wait for Update 4 in a couple weeks. Here's a look at what I ...
HOBBY Open Thread: Painting Speed Edition
Hi everybody, Christmas is fast approaching and many of us are hunkered down for the holiday wrapped in a warm blanket and a cup of hot chocolate. Then we remember... the pile of unfunished minis is staring at us, from across the house. ...
40K: Aporkalypse Now! Mechanicon \'09 Batrep
Hey MBG Rob Baer here with my battle report from my victory at Mechanicon '09. I ran Imperial Guard, but with Orks. The theme is that some Death Skullz went a little wild looting guard vehicles- they even followed their army composition! That's my...

The Art of War-hammer: Adeptus Titanicus Update 2
"Opportunities multiply as they are seized." The Warhound Titan for Minus is coming along quite nicely. I've had some additional time to work on the legs. I used the same process as the rest of the model of course. I start by drybrushing each of th...
WFB HOBBY: Hellish Hellcannon
A friend of mine recently built and painted a Hellcannon and in the spirit of the recent "most gruesome" modeling contest at our local GW store he decided to make his Hellcannon as horrific as possible. Personally, I have to say I think he succeeded ...
Project Log: Coming Out of WFB Semi-Retirement
Over the last two years my tournament WFB armies have been pretty much retired. They would come out from time to time to play friends or help folks out in tuning their forces up, but I have really not had much of an interest in playing tournament gam...
HOBBY: A New Take on Painting Metallics
Those of you that have been following this blog for long enough will remember me touching on this subject ages ago, but I have always wanted to come back and give it its own article. Metallics have a well deserved reputation of being difficult to wor...
Art of War-hammer: Adeptus Titanicus Update
"Secret operations are essential in war; upon them the army relies to make its every move." Haven't had much time this week to work on the Warhound, but I was able to get both of the legplates finished. I think the striped plate looks really good, b...
HOBBY: PRIMER 101 What\'s in the Can Man?
A guest article by RedScorpionsGirl Have you ever sat down and thought about priming? What color to start with, how well it will work, and what you can do with it? There are lots of choices now, simply going to Wal-Mart and getting the .97/can spray...
40K HOBBY: Armorcast Reaver 101 - (Video)
Hi guys. I get a lot of email from folks wanting to see some of our big toys in close up. One of our pride and joys is our collection of ancient Armorcast titans, but outside of BoLScon and Adepticon, very few folks get to see these things. You can s...
The Art of War-hammer: Psycannon Inquisitor Lord
"The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim." With Space Wolves and Guard now packing some serious Psychic strength, the other imperial armies are going to need at least a chan...

Hobby: Vallejo Course Pumice
One of my favorite mediums for applying to the base of a figure is Vallejo Course Pumice. This stuff is pumice sand in a suspension of acrylic resin, which looks like a sandy paste. When it is dry it has a rough sandy texture to it. This stuff has so...
