WIP Wednesday; Adepta Sororitas Rhino

 

 

 

Been a few months since WIP Wednesday graced the Ole Blog, but it's back! Some great hobby progress this week as I am trying to get my Sisters of Battle ready for battle...

 

 

Catching up......

Ok, I have been away from my blog for too long. Alot has happened this week from a massive wind storm that took out 20+ trees in our town, including one in my front yard,  to playing some Dust and 40k. Fliers are coming out next week, and 6th is around the bend! Not to mention I still have a dreadnought and 4 scouts to paint for the Bugeater GT! Well let's tackle some of these topics and get my thoughts out there on them....

BOGO! WIP Wednesday and Dust Warfare thoughts!

Ok, I have been neglecting my blog a bit lately. On a good note, I have not been neglecting my hobby. I have been playing alot of games recently. So on to this BOGO of articles!

Mage Con Mega Battle!

Hey everyone, hope you had a good Easter! Been pretty hecktic around here with painting, gaming, and family stuffs going on. Next event up for the ol Inquisitor is Mage Con April 20th-22nd.

Beating the painting blues!

So lately I have hit a "painting block" so to speak. I like painting and have a large project to finish before June. I even have a good routine of painting to podcasts. But what do you do when it still doesn't work, when you don't feel the "mojo"?

WIP Wednesday: Rhinos, Bases, and Display Board planning.

Ok this week was kind of slow for hobby progress. Blake and I drove out to Vermillion on friday to play Zach in a cities of death game, and I spent this weekend enjoying the nice weather with the kiddos and wifie. I did go see Hunger Games on Sunday too. So on to what I did do.....

WIP: MORE TERRAIN!

Started work on the Pegasus Hobbies large building kit tonight. I also took some more pictures of the cathedral as I received a bunch of requests for info on them.

WIP; terrain day

Earlier this week I received the 2 out of 3 Pegasus Hobbies Gothic small buildings kits, I had ordered. Now my plan was to work on SoB on my day off yesterday, but with new shiny toys sitting right there, I just could not resist. I combined both kits to make on large cathedral. I know it is rather large, but I wanted a center piece for my table and my SoB. I will be getting more of these kits, as I'm leaning towards a Shrine World themed table. Although I will keep the rest of the buildings smaller in scale. I hoped to get more pictures up but my camera went dead on me, so here is a taste for now...

I used these two kits to make that building.



Small Gothic buildings 1 and 2.





Love me some UPS!

Just in time! 2 of the 3 sets of Pegasus Hobby kits I ordered, arrived today! I also have an email saying my 2 packages from Amazon are in town at the PO office. Perfect timing too, as we are playing Apocalypse this Saturday and these will be a nice addition to the table!



So much for working on SoB on my day off tomorrow!

Independent Characters go to CotN!

Episode 48 – Imperial Armour 3: The Taros Campaign is out for the Independent Characters, and I highly recommend you check them out! Not only was there reports of DundraCon, but of our group's trip to Sioux Falls, and Zach's experience at Con of the North! Oh and they go through Imperial Armour 3 too!

I love the walk through of the Imperial Armour books since I will probably never buy one (though I'm very tempted after listening) and it "fills in" the holes in my hobby knowledge. Another entertaining show making them my favorite podcast.

I managed to assemble all 11 DCA and 6 crusaders while listening to the show. I also popped off the doors on my old SoB rhinos. I plan on casting new doors or stenciling them. Looking back, I'm amazed at how much hobby work I have finished due to podcasts. Not only does it give me something to listen to, but also a schedule. Every time a new show comes out, I want to paint! So for that reason alone, I'm a huge fan boy of podcasts.

Check out their forums and please LIKE them on facebook. It makes Carl smile!

WIP Wednesday; Bases and Sargents

This week saw me getting some good work done on my Crimson Fists for Con of the North. With less than 2 weeks before we head to the great white north of Saint Paul, MN, The list is shrinking what remains to be painted......

The Holidays are over!

The Holidays are finally over. My life can get back into the regular routine. That means more hobby time!! And it starts today! Also WIP Wednesday will be back on.....................Wednesday with today's hobby progress too. On the bench today is a new Vulcan list for Con of the North in February. I'm also starting project "Girls Gone Wild". This is my stripping, um and repainting of my Sister's of Battle army for the 2012 Bugeater GT!

Later this week I will post up my thoughts and list for Vulcan and scouts. Happy New Year everyone! This should be a very good year for the Hobby with 6th edition coming and several new codexes. 

Hobby 101: Color Theory

Today I was reading on some forums and came across this great video on color theory and how to use it with our models. Very good information here, just a little dry due to the subject.

So if you are new to painting or looking for some help to make your stuff "look" better, check out this link.

Saturday Hobby Progress

Here are some quick shots of my hobby progress I got done today.

I have to say I love the vindicator kit. It was very fun to assemble and the "fit" was very good. Hopefully we get some good warm weather so I can do alot of priming to stock pile for the winter.



What's Playing this Week!

This week I have some modeling and painting to do for an upcoming rtt in Minneapolis I'm going to. My painting always goes in spurts and this week will be no different.

The good thing about it this week, is all of my podcasts I listen to have new shows out! I have 8+ hours of entertainment to listen to while I paint this week!

WIP Wednesday: Scouts for Saturday.

Hobby explosion in the last couple days. I need to get my 10 man scout squad painted up for the tournament Saturday. I also decided to change my list and add a 5 man terminator unit that was not based and had to paint shoulder pads yet.

 So what got done and whats left?
