This weeks work Nov 20th

Well I had a little time this week inbetween ammo inspections at work to get a little done. I have been working hard at multiple commssions as I have also been getting ready to move into my nuw home that I have baught so it all in all has been CRAZY, but fun:).

It has been determind that I and some mates will be going to adepticon in march(a week after my wedding WOOT) and as such I have been hard at work formulating plans on my end of the program. That said we are doing a great traitor gaurd them and I am gearing mine towards the all powerfull and great god of pleasure slaanesh. Those of you who know my past I know are by no accounts shocked at this in game choice:)

I have also been able to get a little done on the demon herald from forge world as well as borrowing upon some of Ron's great ideas for a speeder bike for my pre-heresy force, I have been busy working on that. All this has truthfully been done with what little spare time I have. Now don't forget people we have less then two weeks till I do the competition so lets get cracking on getting a few more people on this site so as to earn some GREAT przes:).

Tournements

Well as this year comes to a close soon and a new one begins I figured I would focus on talking to you all about tournements. I do this because my friends and I are starting to organize for our events that we will attend in the upcomming 2010. I for one find that I know I will attend games day and adepticon(the weekend after my wedding In the same place how could I not:) ) as well as a great tournement called astronomicon in vancouver canada.

To focus on the fact of tournements and why we drive ourselfs to them I sat down and thought about it.. Besides golden demon they are really the only reason I paint. Now that said I do enjoy the local games and what have you's with the friends but I really push myself to do well and my best at tourneys and really try and create armies that will gain recognition amoungst my peers. To that end an average tournement army can run starting at $500.00 on up for a true GW event. We do this all for a trophy and maybe a little swag on the side. All I have to say to thatis wow I end up doing expensive hobbies.:). Thankfully though I have a extremely understanding fiance(we will see how long that lasts once we are married) that fully supports my gamming ADDICTION because well it is an addiction.

This year I hope to complete two too three brand spaking new armies geared just for tournies. The first will be a traitor gaurd army for Adepticon with the next being an Pre-Heresy Emp. Childrens army for astronomicon. If I am still around and not on deployment then I will also hit mechanicon and one to two more:). Thats a lot of travel but I feel for the fun and the socializing of it all I feel it's a worthwhile investment. SO beyond my normal ramblings I wanted to remind you all that hey don't forget about the competition I have going for some free commissions that I will post my lucky three winners on dec.1st. Also I will have a prize that I am adding now for the most people recruited to the site. This is a rare OOP FORGE WORLD bloodangels death company statue unpainted that I will hand out to the person who recruits the most people to the site. That said I wish you all a happy week, and I will report back again latter this week.

This weeks work

So all in all not a bad week on the overall. I have been extremely busy with work, and getting ready to close on this new home I am buying a couple towns over. So that all coupled with well painting commissions has left me with very little time to update this blog. That said though here I am one and all and I have started a few cool progects this week that once done should be some great models. I started practicing for golden demon on a herald of nurgle for what will become mamom.

Using some new tech. I have learned and are hopefully gonna master inthe upcomming months I am happy with some of him but will end up redoing the body. I have also been digging away at a commission of U.S Marines from the boxer rebellion. This has been an exceptionally fun progect and thankfully I am almost done with the 40 some odd models of them.

This will thankfully lead into the next commission of FOW German Afrika Korps. So I should get another post out to you all later this weekend but for now heres some pics of this weeks work. Oo and dont forget to pass the word on about the competition going on for some free painted models from me. All they have to do is create a legit profile and publicly follow this blog
