Painting a ghost

Introduction

Although this guy would have been fine painted with Contrast paints for the commission, I decided on experimenting on another ghostly color scheme.

March Contrast commission

Another batch paid in beer.

D&D 5E one shot collection - Danger at Blire Manor, part 6 / Slave Pits of Quabus, part 1

We got back into the action right as the flames died down and the cellar was clear. Ulfgar was clearly still not happy about Dace's code of conduct, so he bellowed a challenge and charged in. Groot and Bernie just stood there bemused, as Wizzik tried to interpose himself, without success. Dace proceeded to crack the dwarf's pauldron with his greatblade, then knocked him out with a strike of the pommel. Ulfgar lost a tooth.[1]

Painting goblin fanatics

Introduction

I have an old painted goblin fanatic off eBay - it has already seen action. Now, I decided to paint his two companions to match his color scheme. On closer inspection, I also decided on upping that color scheme.

Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Goblin child dies, adventurers not impressed

After last session's first live reunion, we got back to the nitty-gritty. The DM gave us the choice of where to continue, and we chose Waterdeep - I had questions to ask.

Khorne Daemons vs White Scars, 2021.07.06

Introduction

I fought literally the same army as last time, but with a different chapter tactic. Yellow Scars, if you will. Deal with it.

Khorne Daemons, turn 1

I was way too trigger happy to take a picture of the deployment, as I got first turn. And we had a close deployment with opposing table quarters and a circle in the middle. I got a first turn charge off! Of course Bladeguard being Bladeguard, I only killed 1 marine.

Khorne vs Kharadron Overlords, 2021.07.08

My first Age of Sigmar game since October and my first ever 3rd edition game, back against my old foes: the Kharadron Overlords, in a 1000 point game of Burn and Pillage.

Painting magic portals (using a wet palette)

Introduction

One of these 3D printed portals has been sitting in my backlog for about a year now. I just had no idea how to start, with the specification being a dungeon view on one side, and a forest on the other, both patchy - as through a portal.

D&D 5E one shot collection - Danger at Blire Manor, part 5

The adventurers wrapped up their search of the manor by checking out the rest of the room on the top floor. Wizzik and Ulfgar disturbed a wasp nest in the library, but they walked out and shut the door. Danger averted.

June review & July goals

Hurray for the first 9th edition game!

I had to get that out. Otherwise both sets of D&D are trucking on forward, with the Dungeon of the Mad Mage now back to face-to-face encounters.

It's just... so nice.

Hobby wise, I finished my competition works and presented them. I am close to finishing some new stuff, teased about 2 months ago. Sigh. Maybe this month...

Khorne Daemons vs Orks, 2021.06.26

Introduction

The Orks set up to fight the Bloodthirster brothers in a 1000 point Eternal War - Incursion - Center Ground mission.

Khorne, turn 1

The Bloodthirsters left their ruins to taunt the orks from a bit further up the field, safely behind a screen of Flesh Hounds. Any warrior knows that he needs to strike first to inflict maximum damage!
