Changes ahead

Well after letting this blog sit way too long without updates, it's time to get things rolling. Now that I am back in school, this will be a great place to keep up on my work and start using html more. I have a ton of painted stuff to post up as soon as I can take more pictures.

One of the major things I am doing right now is going on a buying freeze after I get 35 points of Khador. I will no longer buy any miniatures till I paint a army for every system I play. I have sold my Chaos Marines so I do not even have a painted 40k army. Right now I am finishing my Lothlorien army for Lord of the Rings. Then I plan on doing a 40k unit then a fantasy unit. After that I will work on either some Warmachine or Malifaux. I will continue to keep this up till all of it is painted. Not buying anything will be hard, but if I can get everything painted I will feel better about my collection. I will keep this update with my progress. Wish me luck!

Malifaux the beginning.

So I have been wanting to try out a new game to take a break from all the Games Workshop games I have been playing for years. After much reading and listening to podcasts like D6 Generation I finally picked out Malifaux.

Malifaux is a small skirmish game that you have to pick a master from one of the 3 factions(each faction has 3 masters), with a force of a around 4-7 models to go with them. I went for the Arcanist faction master Ramos, he is a caster like all of the Arcanists but can build and buff constructs like steampunk spiders and robots. So I spent around 75 bucks on models to fill out my force with this I got around 75 soulstone(Normal games are around 35 soulstones) worth of models, the rulebook, and a deck( the game uses a deck of cards rather than dice to do the random part of fights).

Most of the models I ordered.

My plan for Malifaux is to slowly paint all the models one at a time between working on my Orc and Goblin army to keep me from going insane with green models. In total I have 13 things to paint with this and I want to do some counters and a display board for the small force. I am hoping to finish this all by next year at the latest. Next week I am planning to post my first painted model for this force keep a watch out for it!

The Orcs and Goblins are back

Well with the soon to be release of 8th edition of Warhammer Fantasy I once again have gotten in the mood to play Fantasy again after a long break. So I broke out all my Orc and Goblin models and tried to figure out where to go from there.

Almost all of the Orcs together

After taking out all my models I realised that I had a lot of work in head of me. A lot of the models I painted different times in my gaming years so none of the paint really looked the same. Also, from sitting around not protected a good amount of things have been broken. So before I can start painting I will be stripping all the orcs back down to plastic and repair all the broken models I can.

The Magic Stuff

All the Orc soaking away

Next Week I'll show the progress of the orcs soaking and talk about my thoughts with the Orcs and Goblins when it comes to 8th edition.
