I Picked up Bloodbowl for the PC this week, and I am more hooked on this than I was the boardgame 10 years ago!!! Check this Goblin team trailer out!

Video Game - E3 2009 - Video Game Trailers

This game us American rules Football with fouling encouraged....and brutal!!

The New "gunnery Sgt. Harker" from the European August 2009 White Dwarf.

On to bigger and more numerous things....

Well, I finally finished the Blood Knights....sort of. While I am never fully satisfied with my work, these guys just leave me wanting. I wish I had more tie to relly give them some more love, but I just don't.

Well, on to my own work now for a while. I will be starting on the Volscani 4th legion in the next few weeks. I have my work cut out for me with so many to paint. 164 to be exact. With such a big project I am going to go slow and break it down into manage-able pieces, like 10 men at a time.

Since my intent from the start was for this to be my main army for some time to come I intend to lavish the details into them and really make them shine. I will post some pictures of my progress as I can.

Makin headway....

Fluffy those knights are now 99% done. I need to detail the horses for you, and then go back and do a quick clean up on the reds to finish. I will hopefully have them in the shop display case held for you in the next 7 days.

SOOO far behind

Well Life has been crazy. I took the kids to Disney, blew a fortune on bottled water and had an absolute blast doing it! Unfortunately it has taken a toll on poor Mike waiting on his Vampire Bloodknights...well 3 more are done and I'm down to 3 to go.

Once I get to this point in a project I would normally be saying "hey, you are ALMOST done, why not push to the end and get it done?"....Well as usual it isn't that simple. I am working with some other great guys at Origins game fair this coming weekend. That will blow another week as I furiusly work to get terrain assembled and painted for those games. That said I have still been making slow progress and I have only final detail and highlight left to do on 6 of the knights.

I'm ALMOST there. Please be patient with me Mike. I do apologize, I know you are itching to get these guys on the table. My new (self imposed) deadline on them is July 4th weekend so I can get them off my desk and start work on the Volscani....all 180 of them.....and the WHFB campaign, and WHFB tournament, and the 40k World Wide war prep, and the.....oh heck you get the idea....

Armoury Games Open Painting Competition

You can do a unit of FOW tanks on a diorama base (no bigger than 12"x12" base please) or a battle scene or challenges....the possibilities are endless. Basically be reasonable with the size of your entry, pick a mini and get painting!!

VC WIP preview

Well I like the models but....

Well, I am not going to get those blood knights finished before vacation like I had hoped. There is just too much detail.....besides, I can't bear to not do them justice for the cost of the models.

Here are a few details from the unit champion. He is farther along tan the others, and should be done before I leave, but the others are waiting in line now. I hope to have them completed in a few weeks after I return from our family trip.

Incoming new Hellhound

Well another metal and plastic kit has hit the dustbin. In August we'll see this new all plastic hellhound hit the shelves. It has parts for all three hellhound variants. They also changed all sorts of little details on the hull, and IMHO this is a really pretty kit.....except the oldschool heavy flamer on the hull that somehow got overlooked.....

While I have the 180+ model Volscani army working, I am also finishing up some work for a customer. The vampire counts army has come a long way, and after doing more than 60 zombies I am finishing with 9 Blood Knights. These models are gorgeous, and have a lot of detail to them This pic is an early color blocking shot, but it gives you an idea of where I am heading with them.
