Where to?

Rage-Quitting in style!

Age of Sigmar is certainly not an uncommon topic for blogging right now. Everyone has an opinion and they seem to be sharply divided. I haven't posted for six months or so, mainly due to my lack of gaming, but it's been a pretty tumultuous time in the gaming world and my personal world. I decided to get my thoughts and motivations down, feel free to comment.

I'm Gone Sendin' to Outer Space

So the Wood Elf Orcs were apparently a real burn-out for me. I didnt' even get around to finishing my tournament report for Rockhammer. I ended up in the top half of the field, which is pretty good considering I'd never used the army before! More excitingly, I took away best army. I've played a few games since, but I'm also looking at getting into new games that are a bit easier on the hip pocket and my time budget; X-Wing and Firestorm Armada. I'm also running a Warhammer tournament at This is War! next year; a miniatures event for Melbourne.

Finally Complete!

Wow- it's been over 2goblirs, but my Wood Elf Orcs are done. 3000 points completed. That means I can bust them out on the weekend for Rockhammer!
Here are a few quick snaps- I really just wanted to see what they looked like and thought you may too. The colour isn't great in these shots, but hopefully I'll get some nicer ones with backgrounds on the weekend.

Whole army shot

Ready for paint

This week has seen my Wood Elf Orcs reach a point where I only need to put brush to model to finish (OK, a bit of glue for effect afterwards, but that's not modelling). A few snaps to fill you in on my progress towards Rockhamer:

Orcarus and Dorkaerus

Rockhammer lists are due tonight. At the time of writing, there are only two people paid up. I'm one of them. I think this has something to do with the fact that Face/Off is next week, and it's the biggest tournament Victoria has seen in a while. I'm not going to that; too time poor. Anyway, I need to submit my list tonight it seems. That means I'm committing to getting my army done in three weeks! Where am I so far?

Clipping Along

I'm making progress on the orcs, but things crop up and I don't know if they'll be done by Rock Hammer. Not really an issue; I'm quite excited to play with my Ogres, but it'd be exciting to finish the army too.

The Grace of an Orc

Just a quick update for you, featuring the final two characters in my 2999 list. 

Back In The Thick of It

It's back on. The dining room table is covered in sprue, bits of models and sculpting tools. Rockhammer in on the horizon; my first tournament in 18 months, and I'm getting my orcs back in the game!

Pirate Ogre Origins

I had a diary going on Wargamerau whilst I was painting my Ogre Pirates. This was before I started my blog, so it was pretty much a in lieu of this. Alas, the photos were hosted by my old ISP, and have long since been lost from the internet (perhaps someone out there had applied rule 34, but I doubt it). Anyway, I thought I'd put some pictures up of them in case anyone was interested, and because I wanted them out there again. Let me take you back to 2009...

Almost Ready for Action

The gators are done. All they need is a movement tray (which is drying as I type) and they'll be ready for what I hope to be my first game in roughly 18 months. It'll be rusty, but I'm looking forward to it either way.

Gators' progress.

Some pictures of the gators as they are right now. The unit is all but done, however a few details are still missing. This is entirely due to my lack of any red paint, so some orange details I can't do. I'm out of red, and I've never owned an orange before... Sorry, I had no specific lighting for the shots, just room lights.

The whole unit.

Ogre Revival

Last year I bought some Ogre Pirates from Titanforge. Having no time or space to work with them, they've sat unused for a whole year. Until last week...

Daemons of Law

As you may have picked up from my last post, I am downsizing my collection. One army that is a victim to the downsize are my Daemons of Law.

Pirate Ogres Revist

Having just sold my Arabyan Orc army, I'm a little cashed up. Nothing big, but I have a bit of disposable income so I was thinking of ways to have a bit more fun, but also a bit of an investment.

Duelling Paintbrushes 2: Day 29: Painted.

It's done! Painting is complete! 

1000 points. Fear it!

Duelling Paintbrushes 2: Day 27

Wow, it's been quite some time since my last progress report. That's mostly because I do it with the desktop that developed a drinking problem. That's why I'm using Blogger for Android and that's why this update has no pretty pictures.

The PC has been repaired, but it was my wife's Birthday yesterday so I didn't prioritize blogging. PC (and Skyrim) downtime has allowed me to make progress though.

Trolls are nearly done, and BSB is dribbling into completion. Just basing and a few decos and complete. Woo!

Photos soon, I promise, and Saturday I'll go out in the sun and get some well lit ones.

Duelling Paintbrushes 2: Day 19

Day 19, almost 2/3 of the way through the pledge and I have completed my infantry (as always, sans bases).

Elven War Sheep Warhammer!

Sheep-O-War

I like to poke around in the Stats page offered by Blogspot, just to see if anyone is reading my blog. Whilst I'm interested that people in the US, Russia and Sweden read my blog, I was a little confused when I read some of the search terms that resulted in people reading my blog. Namely, the above-mentioned Elven War Sheep Warhammer.

Duelling Paintbrushes 2: Day 11

A quick update:
I've completed the next batch of arrer boys. This brings me to 22 in total

Are you a Wargamer?

Of course, I said "you" refering to "me". Greg posted this up on Hoodling's Hole yesterday, and it looked like a bit of fun. Let's see how much of a wargamer I am.
