What I’ve been up to…

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

So I’ve not posted much here lately and that’s mostly due to the fact that I haven’t really played any miniature games since the last post, it makes it kind of hard to post here if I’m not gaming.  What I have been doing however is painting a lot more miniatures than normal, so for starters, I’m going to show you some of the progress I’ve made on various Bretonnian units for my army.  This is all of the stuff that’s finished and there is handful of things I’m not posting because they are all works in progress.  But, enjoy my mediocre paint jobs! =)

Damsel on Foot

Battle Standard Bearer

Knight Hero on Foot 2

Kinght Hero on Foot 1

Knights of the Realm 1

Knights of the Realm 2

Men-at-Arms 1

Men-at-Arms 2

Men-at-Arms Mounted Damsel

Peasant Archers 1

Peasant Archers 2

I have been progressing slowly in terms of skill, I used the knight hero on foot, the most recent painted figure, as a means to try out highlighting, something I’ve never done really done or used in my miniature paint jobs.  I’m happy with the way it turned out and will likely use it on characters, generals, hero’s etc.  I can’t see the extra time being worth it on a block of figures, but if I get good enough at it, that might change.

Adepticon 2010

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

This year, on a whim, I decided to take off of work on a Friday and head down to this convention just to see what it was about.  The main factor for me going down there was to meet up with some friends and there were a couple of vendors there that I was pretty excited to see their miniatures.  These two shared a booth and are definitely bringing some great miniatures to the show.  Warlord Games and Mantic Games were what I was talking about, both companies brought some great miniatures, I only ended up getting some of the undead miniatures from Mantic, but I could see getting some figures from the Pike and Shotte line from Warlord in the future, they have some great generic pikeman infantry and the like.

Those miniatures aside, the biggest part of Adepticon that I liked was the Bitz trading that takes place at night.  I knew this was going to take place, but fortunately for my wallet, the ATM was out of order at the hotel.  I was able to do a little wheeling and dealing, and it was totally worth it.  There was so much there it was astounding, seeing entire lines of Forgeworld models going on sale for nearly free, all of the older miniatures showing up here and there, as well as seeing tons of stuff still in the box.  This is something that I will definitely be traveling down there for next year and bringing as much as I can bear to bring with me to this.  I’m anticipating good things to take place with this…

And now for something completely different (but way better), a selection of photo’s that I took down there:
