The present for my Wifes Mum

Hello All.

I have had a set of terrain to paint for the club for a while and i like the marine so much i went out and bought me one to. I still have the terrain to paint for the club but that will be just a fast spray black and dry brush i will get around to it. But my wifes mum wanted something i have painted, and i just could not let any of my completed work go so i bought this for here. I would never use it as terrain and i though it would look nice for her to put somewhere in the house.

On top of that i though i would try out a few new skills i wanted to try out. So i did what they call salt weathering. I failed to take some step steps of that part but it was spray black, spray model with hair spray while wet sprinkle Rock salt all over the place. Wait for the hair spray to dray and then spray with your base color with air brush or spray can. And once that is all dry give it a good 24h get a old tooth brush and brush all the salt off and you get this.

After a few hours detailing i am upto this point

Best Painted Battle above the Brynderwyns 2012

What it said in the title is about all i have to say. Its a good year for my paining i have happy so many people are liking my work. Time to get some new tricks and keep on wining.

Thanks for the good week for everyone who played at the Battle above the Brynderwyns very nice guys up north very keen to come back again.

I was board so i posted

Not much of the front of trains or warhammer, the kids bdays and major bills have taken all my cash and time. Been working away at the Rogue traders still and yes you wont get any pics for a while. Just waiting on my order from slave to painting so i can start work on a model i am doing for the wife's mum. Going to be trying some new skills i want to try and pick up on this so i will put pics up of this.

Did not win any cool stuff from Slave to painting for my titan likely due due to it not being any further complete than it was a few months back. I hope i get my base soon, my base maker is very busy with a new BF and uni so i have to be a good boy and wait or i get no epic cool base in the end. :-)

Nicon 2012

Hello All.

Not posted in a while, life has been to crazy, went to Nicon on the weekend. Its was a small tournament i think only about 25-30. Most of the field were the normal guys you see, at this point it was my 4th tournament this year and after a crazy 2days with the family before i was not really that keen to play for 2days and was thinking of not going at all. As far as playing going i should of not bothered at least half my games i could not be fucked with and just wanted to get them over and done with and onto the next one. In the end i think i came like 22nd easy bottom 3rd. I think one of my worst ranks in a few years. Only thing what made it feel like not a complete waste of time and money is. I won the raffle so might be able to sell the crappy board game i got to pay for my loss cash for a crap tournament and won best painting so i can finally stop really playing 40k altogether. Yes i hate tournaments and only go to them to win best painted. I have won this twice for two different army's, i am now just going to focus more on painting and no more building army's and just paint the models i like and want to paint and enjoy painting again not just always trying to rush to get army's finished in time. I know my paint work is twice as good as what i put on the table at these tournaments due to always in a rush to get things finished.

Hope you enjoyed that, So over all a very very crap 4day weekend.
