Tau and Cake (part 3)

Progress so far on the Tau Riptide is looking pretty good. With the holiday weekend I was able to put down some primer and basecoat colors. Next step is to start masking for camo scheme.

Any questions or comments please leave them in the box below.

Secret Weapon Miniatures unboxing

I went and spoiled myself and made an order from Secret Weapon Miniatures so I could pimp out a few of my personal projects.

Listening to the new Daft Punk album. click here.

I'll be using the 120mm trench base for my Khador Conquest.

These clay bricks bring to life a base pretty nicely. You'll probably see these in future projects.

Project Black 13

Project Black 13 has been on my painting desk for far too long but I'm hoping to complete it here in the next few days. These minis are for a friend and local Press Ganger and all he asked was that the base was something like I did on my Widowmaker. 

Here is the progress so far.

Tau and Cake (part 2)

Busy times are upon me again but I managed to get the Riptide all sub assembled and cleaned. Next step will be priming and basecoat colors.

There is a standard pose in the kit made possible with small holes and tabs in the ball/socket joints. If I decide to change the pose I can easily just cut off these tabs and use poster tack to find a new pose.

Working on trying to make a normal update schedule which will be Monday and Thursdays. Let me know in the comments if there is anything you'd like to see more of and I'll try my best to accommodate.

Project: Double Force Org (part 1)

I did a little bit of assembly this weekend after receiving my bits order in the mail.

These flame cannons are evil to most armies.

Also did a little bit of painting with a few other chaps at a paint night.

Gabriel Seth work in progress.

Unboxing: Super 3D Dungeon Boards

Opening the mailbox is becoming a surprising event now that all my the Kickstarter pledge rewards are starting to ship. I received today a box from www.figurepainters.com who's funding campaign was for Super 3D Dungeon Boards. For my pledge of $15 I got eight colored potion bottles that I'll be using for Super Dungeon Explore. I'm happy with how they turned out and I think I'll invest in the boards themselves down the future.

Tau and Cake

On the desk tonight I have a new project that I'm working on for a store owner. The Tau Riptide is going to match the store display army color scheme; standard coloring but in a camo pattern.

Here is the progress so far. 

Still in the assembly phase. I'll piece together as much as I can before further assembly would hinder painting. 

Currently listening to Cake playlist. 

Project: Double Force Org

Project: Double Force Org

The next 40k tournament in the area that I'll be attending is going to be 2000pts and will be using the new 6th ed rules for doubling the force organization. Normally I play Grey Knights but over the years I have collected regular space marines from various starter sets that I use with the Blood Angels codex. I'll be playing the BA for this tournament and will try to have everything painted.

Here's the list I'm going to build up and bring. I have a majority of these kits and some already painted. What I dont have has been bits ordered.
