Wound / Stamina markers

          I finally got around to finishing the markers. I am happy with them for the most part. Anything is better than the gems stone things. The tuffs, I think are just OK. I may put it apart and give another go, add some rocks.

          The wife has my D60 and I got the work camera. It is a Kodak and its junk. It takes AA batteries and will not focus. Sorry about the quality. More pictures to come, once my camera is back.

Sad Day

      



        The warp has swallowed yet another. A good friend and magic man producing 6mm miniatures was C&D by grandma wendy. This horrible event will be felt throughout the EA community. I will be awaiting your return, sir.


 May Chapter House slaughter granny.

Only reference to Specialist games.

 "Specialist" refers to our specialist games which includes titles like Blood Bowl and some other game titles that frankly we don't sell that much of. We lump them together and call them "Specialist titles".

Q; And "Specialist", those are unrelated to 40K?

A; Actually, we have a game called Necromunda, which is only related in as much as it is a game based on a planet set within the War hammer 40,000 universe, and we have another game called I think "Inquisitor" actually, funnily enough. In fact, yes, the game was called -- I had forgotten about that earlier, thanks for that, it is called "Inquisitor" which was in terms of the registered trademark there is another product which was a kind of a -- not quite a role playing game but it is a skirmish level game or the scale is bigger. So while as in our table top hobby war game Warhammer 40,000, an individual character might be about 30 mm, 35 mm tall, an Inquisitor, they are more like 54 or 60 mm tall. So those are specialist games. And then "Hobby" is our range of paints and scenery and paint brushes and pliers and modeling tools and glue, range rulers,
 dice, all that kind of stuff that we sell as well.

Wound / Stamina Markers

          I am not a fan of the gems being used to mark wounds or stamina of a unit. With the dial guy MIA. I have been using plastic blood drops. They look retarded. Last week I found these examples of wound counters. The idea jacked directly from;  Roundwood's World

          Great idea, right? So I started to create my own set. I used greenstuff and some poor die floating around my table to create the square hole. Than some basing material and cheap craft store paint. Tonight I will knock out the finishing touches and attach some dudes.

          Next up will be copies of the disordered markers. Another idea jacked, from someone more creative than me.

Ebay

          I was cleaning out one of my many boxes. In that box I found 3 Epic Tau drone turrets and a package of Hammerheads from Forge World. Who knows where I got them or when. So they are up on Ebay for a buck each.

Labor Day Weekend

Off car camping with the wife's friends in Acadia. The camping was a good time, nice place (smuggler's den), good food, and short hikes close by. We had only one day of rain. I was warm, every one else was cold. Next time no matter the answer, I will bring my sub zero bag for her. The location was 8.5hrs away. That sucked and the drying and clean up of the gear continues.

     The girls remain in Boston this week. ahh free at last!

28mm Roman Auxilia

          Progress. No more wood splitting or stacking for me. I got 8 cords for the winter. The girls left on holiday and I got to paint again. I finished up some more Epic Blood Angels. Two Termie stands and two Contemptor dreads. Also two more pillboxes.
          Then Blue command group is finally being blocked in. The optio and the last 4 troopers were finished last night. The shield are primed and the transfers should arrive today.

Epic Titans and WIP

          The Legio Ignatum fought in the Horus Heresy at one stage they even defended the Imperial Palace. The Fire Wasps still retain a number of Titans from the Emperor's time. After the lifting of the siege of the Palace, the Legio took part in the campaigns to track down and punish the heretics.

          Throughout the long and bloody campaigns, the Fire Wasps kept their fierce hatred of the Legio Mortis, their old rivals turned to Chaos. This infamous Traitor Legion battered the walls of the Imperial Palace, and terrorised and systematically exterminated the populations of dozens of hive cities on Paramar and Tallarn. The hatred for the traitor Legio burns in the hearts of the members of the Legio Ignatum and one day old debts must be repaid!

          Today the Fire Wasps are the only Titan Order to have the honour of guarding the Gate to the Golden Throne. 

          The titans are from Forge World. Every now and then they are available, you have to call the bastards to get them. The casts were off center and there was a lot of flash to clean. No blue rubber stuck to either of them. The mold release came off easy with soft scrub and a tooth brush. 

                                                  Two Forge World Warhounds.  

          I still have to finish the details on the bases.

Some converted contemptor Dreadnoughts and a current GW dread, all in Space Wolves' colors. The Contemptors were twisted and the power fist arm replaced with one from a robot. The guns came from DRM. Once again I am waiting on the humidity to drop for the matte varnish.
