A shout for Armies, Legions & Hordes

There are a few GW hobbyists that I used to love seeing their projects in White Dwarf... Rob Hawkins, Paul Sawyer, Chad Meirzwa... Dave Taylor. A lot of these guys got on to blogging their projects to share em with the world, which inspired me to start my blog.

Dave Taylor has inspired me to try more and do better in my hobby endeavors than any other hobbyist. With that in mind I was happy as a pig in shit to back his Kickstarter for Armies, Legions & Hordes. I'd try and sell you on it but The Terrain Tutor (Mel is bloody amazing go watch his videos) does it much better. I will say that when my copy of Armies, Legions & Hordes does arrive I'll display it along with my Imperial Armour Masterclass books.

The KS is almost unlocked all of the pledge levels. Even better there's a pledge level that gets you some facetime with Dave via Skype. Now I can't afford that one but I sure wish I could. Oh well I guess I'll just have to try and meet him at a game con someday.

In other news I'm plugging along with my tanks for #armourinapril. Stay tuned for more updates!

Cheers,

CJ

Terrain: Medium Objective

Cleaning up the desk and I found a small bit of hardboard I had cut for something or other so I decided to whip something up. A ruined corner was quickly assembled. I added a pile of jerry cans from the Tamiya kit I get my oil drums from, and a Mad Robot grenade launcher. I think it needs some graffiti as well...

I painted the piece to match the base style I'm using on the Abhumans and my Inq28 models. Over the weekend I plan to complete some other pieces I've had languishing in the land of half finished projects. Stay tuned to see what comes of this new motivation.

And now for something completely different...

Ronnie Gamble, the gentleman who runs the excellent Eye of Error, is running a Kickstarter for custom decals. I'm instantly hooked just on the bitchin' posters that come of a 35$ pledge. That's a no-brainer for this hobbyist; two sheets of custom decals for my guard army and the aforementioned posters. Two sheets is enough for two platoons of unit markings, maybe three, and a sheet for vehicle patterns or whatever else I decide on.

And finally, when I posted lamenting my many distractions (poor me, right? pfft) I forgot the most distracting of them all...

My girlfriend got a cat to call her own, Harry Potter Dresden Houdini... you can guess which of those I added. He's a fuzzy little shit, and I'm constantly surprised the other cats haven't ended him yet. Snow is infinitely patient with the playful kitten, and Deacon keeps him at bay with carefully applied swats. And hisses.

That's it for tonight. I'll have more terrain finished over the weekend.

Cheers,

CJ

Raging Heroes

Just a quick reminder to everyone that Raging Heroes Dark Elves, Lust Elves, and Sisters of Eternal Mercy goes live in about 19 hours.

Raging Heroes Kickstarter

The Toughest Girls of the Galaxy launched 17 days ago on June 4th.  Raging Heroes was immediately funded, and a few hours later, when I went to check for the first time, they had reached 1000% funding.  Now they're really getting up there, and with stretch goals and freebies unlocking every $5000, its exciting to keep up on.  If the gods are good, I will be able to back this project.  I'm looking forward to it.

If you're interested in backing Raging Heroes' The Toughest Girls of the Galaxy, you can find it here.

Cheers,
