Ramblings about Warhammer 40k, Warmachine/hordes, movies, books, and RPGs. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Infinity N00B: GnS Tournament 7/25. Last event before GenCon. Unfortunately, it looked like a for people canceled the last second. We were down to 5. Missions were Beacon Land, Cold Sleep and Coffin Raiders. I was actually slated to play Stephen but I didn't want to give the new guy a bye. I hate them but spent the time talking to Dennis about bad music. Posted by Sean Lang. Labels: games and stuff.

Ramblings about Warhammer 40k, Warmachine/hordes, movies, books, and RPGs. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Road to NOVA: I4 Invasion (Aftermath) NOW W/ PICS! I started off on a high note and then came crashing down. I started the event 2-0 (13 points) but I ended up 2-2 (17pts). I should have been 3-1 but my last round opponent was patient where I was not. More on that later. The event was run great and a lot of fun. My opponents were great. The TO's were great. Prize support was awesome. In the end, I started ou...

The Artist of War: Ork Deff Dread "El Huevo Muerto"
http://www.theartistofwar.com/2016/10/ork-deff-dread-el-huevo-muerto.html
Wednesday, October 19, 2016. Ork Deff Dread "El Huevo Muerto". A very brave Catachan Sergeant stands by for scale. All I had on hand were 25mm and 60mm bases, both were too small. So I made this 80mm base from a double layer of polystyrene and PVC foam board cut to shape and chamfered the edge with a hobby knife. The Easter egg was textured using a rotary tool. I'm quite happy with the combination of the texture, Rub 'n Buff and washes/oils. I think its really believable as metal. Part of each leg is a c...

The Artist of War: WIP - Ork Looted Tank
http://www.theartistofwar.com/2016/11/wip-ork-looted-tank.html
Monday, November 28, 2016. WIP - Ork Looted Tank. At this year's ModelZona I picked up the blow pictured kit for $10. I thought the aesthetic on the box screamed ORK! So I thought I'd use it to make a looted tank. After assembling the kit I started to see a bit of where I was going to go with it. I want to replace the top hatch with a larger one. I envision a large ork with a WWII style helmet and goggles. I also want to build in a view port for the driver on the front of the tank's hull. Instead of usin...

The Artist of War: Legion Basilisk/Medusa
http://www.theartistofwar.com/2016/09/legion-basiliskmedusa.html
Monday, September 19, 2016. It's finally done. The last major bit I had to build were the exhausts. I gave up on trying to make them identical to the ones on the Forgeworld model. The curves and bent tubes were just not going to happen, but I think what I built is a reasonable substitute. I added a little ammo rack in the back. The command console was made with a push mold and green stuff. I made the barrel expandible so that it can be played as either a basilisk or medusa. Right, she's done! One of the ...

The Artist of War: WIP - Ork Looted Tank 2
http://www.theartistofwar.com/2016/12/wip-ork-looted-tank-2.html
Tuesday, December 20, 2016. WIP - Ork Looted Tank 2. A lot of work has been completed since my last posting. Many rivets and lots of plasticard later and it is nearly ready for paint. I added additional styrene to the surfaces using multiple textures including chipped edges, plasma cut, diamond plate, and some dremel work to rough it up in places. I wanted the driver to have a an awesome view port so I cut a Tamiya 1/35th scale oil drum at an angle and put it into place with some green stuff welds. The d...

The Artist of War: Ork Dakkajet Conversion
http://www.theartistofwar.com/2015/11/ork-dakkajet-conversion.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2015. A little while ago I picked up three Hasegawa Egg planes with plans to convert them into Ork Dakkajets. I thought that the comedic shape of the planes would be a perfect complement to the Ork aesthetic. I've seen a couple of other Dakkajets created from egg planes online and I loved the look. I picked the Hasegawa F4U Corsair for my conversions. Weathering effects were created using the salt technique, sponge technique as well as oil washes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
