Manifest Metal: Wraithbone is growing nicely.

http://manifestmetal.blogspot.com/2009/12/wraithbone-is-growing-nicely.html

Wednesday, December 30, 2009. Wraithbone is growing nicely. My Farseer has been repaired and final touches of the conversion finished (hopefully the green stuff will look better once I have paint on the model). I think I still have a lot to learn with green stuff. December 30, 2009 at 3:41 PM. That last picture is a little blurry but your color scheme looks nice and clean. I cant tell if there is any lining on the black. I love the purple of the gem, so if you add any other details Id go with tha...Im lo...

Manifest Metal: Pirates

http://manifestmetal.blogspot.com/2009/11/pirates.html

Sunday, November 1, 2009. Finally a full game of pirates was played by myself, Andy and Jes. We played a 3 player clash of sabers. Here is my Pirate crew, from left to right:. Zora Zapnova (blowing a kiss). Alissa Hancock (beware her blunderbuss). Salali (who's name means squirrel in her native tongue). Rainya "Crimson Angel" Crowe (Captain of the crew, and lucky to boot). Sarah Smith (Ships first mate, and loyal paymaster). And last, but not least, Rebecca Black. Andy's Captain wins the duel without tak...

Manifest Metal: Old Conversions.

http://manifestmetal.blogspot.com/2009/05/old-conversions.html

Friday, May 15, 2009. As a miniature battle gamer, I think I love converting models the most. I love making something unique, something that is entirely mine and original, and making miniatures that other people will 'wow' over. Who knows if I am actually all that good at converting, but I like to think I am. at least enough so that I keep doing it. Here are some of my old favorites that I've made and still own (older models having been sold unfortunately). My Eldar Ranger conversion for 'Inquisitor'.

Manifest Metal: November 2009

http://manifestmetal.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 19, 2009. First games with the Wraith Army. Well, last night was the first day of the escalation league. I played Jes twice, and our armies were pretty evenly matched. Fielding only 1 unit of wraithguard (10 spirit seer) and a Farseer at 500 points, our games just ended up in a melee furball both games. We both learned a few things about the new rules as well as our armies. Rule), and who not to play against from now on. Saturday, November 14, 2009. Another angle of my Avatar:. One War...

Manifest Metal: Work in Progress

http://manifestmetal.blogspot.com/2009/05/work-in-progress.html

Friday, May 15, 2009. Currently I am low on finances, so making another warhammer army right now just isn't feasible at the moment. So, considering that I am on a HUGE pirate kick, I have decided to immerse myself in the game 'Legend of the High Seas' (see my links to the right on my blog). Taken shortly after most of the actual conversion work was finished, my captain model is based on the Epic Skarre model. I really need a better camera. After basing the model with thin ash plywood planking.

Saturday, October 24, 2009. First game of Pirates, and new 40k army. So, two weeks ago, Jes. Andy and I all finally got together for the first time in years and spent some time down at the game store working on miniatures and actually getting a game in of Pirates. Pirates was fun, and even though the rules weren't made for a three person game, we worked it out. All three of us were excited about actually getting together to play finally, and we have all been talking about Necromunda. Wraith army. As ...

http://manifestmetal.blogspot.com/2009/11/well-stress-has-been-barely-beaten-back.html

Saturday, November 14, 2009. Well, stress has been barely beaten back by the power of converting and planning. Jes and I have been steadily working on our 40k armies. With Kublacon a ways off, motivation of another sort has blessed us with a need to get our acts together. an escalation league! Here are some pictures of my W.I.P. Messing around with basing options, and planning my warlock conversions:. A closer look at my Farseer (Who I will be using as Eldrad, note the staff and the sword):. I eventually...

Saturday, October 24, 2009. Pirate Basing, and Boat Plans. A couple pictures of ship deck planning and balsa wood measurements. Basing of my Pirate models, step by step.
