Skeleton Command and Armies on Parade

Well, it turns out that the shop is holding its Armies on Parade event on September 28, not in mid-to-late October as I had thought. So, I've got some choices to make...

 

Tomb Kings Progress Report

A quick update on how my first 1000 point Tomb Kings force is coming along...

 

New From Skull Forge Scenics: Small Ruined Obelisks

I've created a new pack of resin scenery pieces that perfect for Undead Egyptian basing embellishments...

 

Warhammer is Back, Baby!

I have finally finished reading the rulebook, and had my first game of Warhammer: The Old World!

Switching gears back to my Tomb Kings for a minute– I've finished assembling and priming the archer units for my Tomb Kings army, including come converted command models:

Skaven Warp-Skryre Tower Painting Journal, Part 4

As part of a friendly scenery challenge with my friend Ron Kruzie, I had given myself about two weeks to complete all the painting and assembly on the Warp-Skryre Tower. The idea was to put a deadline on our projects as a motivation to get them finished. After grinding away at this monstrosity of stone, wood, and metal, it's come down to the last few days...

Skaven Warp-Skryre Tower Painting Journal, Part 1

My friend Ron Kruzie (@i_ron_painter on Instagram– Check out his gorgeous work!) and I entered into a friendly challenge to complete our scenery projects. He's working on a batch of post-apocalyptic terrain that he wants to get finished in two weeks, and I decided to see if I can finish painting my Skaven Warp-Skryre Tower in the same amount of time.

 

Tomb Prince Selketta

Selketta and his "pet" are finished:

 

Bases and Banners

I've got a bunch of stuff to talk about this week– New resin bases for my Skull Forge Scenics range, a new base for the tomb scorpion, and standard bearers for my skeleton archers...

Arming the Troops with New Scorpion Blades

I was inspired to create some unique scorpion-themed swords for my Skull Forge Scenics range of resin products, and equipped my skeleton archers with them:

Flotsam and Jetsam

I have a few other models to show off from the Lord of the Rings range–

"A New Power is Rising!"

The Lord of the Rings films depicted the most epic fantasy battles that have ever (and will ever) appear on screen. I wanted to capture a fraction of that with my Uruk-hai army– The White Hand of Saruman.

The Fellowship of the Ring

In the 12 years that I've been publishing this blog, I have never posted any photos of my Lord of the Rings models. So I figured I'd spend a few posts showcasing my collection. First up– The Fellowship of the Ring.

Converting Tomb King Skeletons

In this post, I'll show you how I converted some more thematic Khemri armored skeletons:

Now, Where Was I...?

I’ve been occupied with finishing up a large scenery commission for the past few months, so I haven’t had much time to work on any personal projects (or even update my blog). But I'm back now! 

 

"I suppose I can hit the snooze button and let you sleep a bit longer..."

 

Planning for the Old World

The launch day for Warhammer: The Old World has come and gone, and both of my local shops still have not received any product, so all I can do is plan and scheme...

 

"At long last, your slumber is over!"
