What's up Wednesday #023

Hello all,

What it's been another week in wargaming and I've been rather busy. I've had a case of shiny syndrome and instead of painting the air speeders I have painted the Wookies. The fact that I had five bases ready to use could have something to do with it. Although I have only got one base ready. 

Not content with the mounting pile of minis I already have, I took a trip to my local game store that I've never been to before Leodis games. It was a bit of a strange place with no clear staff member no they didn't seem to be a obvious place to pay for minis. although with the store being only 10 minutes away it seems like a very good place for supplies on the odd cheeky miniature. So I treated myself...

So now I have a bag full of bases to do so I'd best crack out the air drying clay and get started, see you next week.

Thanks

What's up Wednesday #022

Now then fellow wargamers, another week has passed and it has been a very busy week but not a great deal of painting. I decided it was time I should be using my desk for its intended purpose and not as a dumping ground for projects that I'm not currently working on. So a big tidy was on the cards. It was well worth it and soon I will be able to fold away the small table that I've doing all my painting on and be able to walk round my gaming table again...

But it hasn't just been a week of tidying... I decided to go to Vapnartak in York and try and sell a few things...

As you can see it was quite a good day of selling and I managed to come away from the event with a small profit and some new units for Star Wars Legion. So I got myself a unit of Wookies and some Rebel Commandos. I even found time to build and prime them (I even base coated the Wookies).

But wait there's more. As the I got the main body colour done on the Air Speeders, just needs some panel lines doing to break it all up...

That's all for this week, hopefully they will look a bit more colourful this time next week.

Thanks

What's Up Wednesday #21

So it's been another week and the Fleet Troopers are finished. I decided to give the helmets a satin varnish, but I'm not 100% sold on the finish. Might have to gloss them.

The pistols were a nice change from the usual colours I normally use on the guns. I'm also running out of bases, so I think it might be time for another batch to be made and painted up. So on to the next unit which is going to be the Air Speeders. Although I've not been able to start them until a more appropriate colour arrives through the post.

Now they are primed believe it or not. So hopefully the new paint shouldn't take too long to arrive and I should be able to replicate what I do on the Air Speeders on the tiny rebel fighters for Star Wars Armada.

So see you all next week when I hopefully have something to show you all.

Thanks

What's Up Wednesday #20

Well it's been a long time since I posted on here, over 3 years. I think it's about time to revive the page and use it for what it was created for. Rather than creating posts on Facebook, which wile it was easy lacked the ability to post a story with pictures in the right place and made it difficult for me to relate to the pictures used in each post.

Well back to what's happening now...

This is the continuation of my weekly posts on Facebook (hence why it's starting at 20). While I'll be sharing the posts on Facebook the details will be here.

So what have I been working on this week?
I have finished my Imperial fighters for Star Wars Armada with a few alternate paint schemes to represent elite squadrons...

These will be added to the two core boxes worth of Tie Fighters that I painted years ago.
But as I had an awful lot of Tie Fighters that I would probably never use all of them in a game I decided to do this...

Darth Vader's squadron! It made more sense to me to have him flanked by two Tie Fighters as he was in a New Hope. So what did I do after this did I start my Rebel Fighters so that I could start playing this great game?

Of course not! Like most wargamers I get distracted very easily and started painting my Fleet Troopers that have been sat primed on my painting table for quite some time.

I got the main colours blocked in. This was done in a very productive late Sunday night painting session. The Fleet Troopers as you can tell are not painted in film accurate colours as I felt this would look out of place with the rest of my army. So I'm going to continue with these guys it's and hopefully have them finished for next week's post. Until then stay safe people.

Thanks

X-Wing Miniatures game: HWK 290 Unboxing video

Hi all,

Long time since I posted here (issues with Google Chrome...) anyway less about my problems.

Here is the unboxing of the HWK-290. Now there will be those of us that recognise the ship number or some of the included pilots (Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors). These two are from the classic (well in my opinion) Star Wars computer game Dark Forces (and its later sequels in the Jedi Knight Series). For those not familiar with the game or the character imagine a cross between Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.

Anyway enough of me babbling on, here is the video:



Thanks for checking this out, don't forget to drop us a comment of what you think of this...

X-Wing Miniature Game: 150 Point BatRep TotalTyke Vs DeathBringa

Hi all,

So we decided to do a BatRep with a few more points than normal, this allowed us to use a lot more of our collection of models than normal. It was a great game that was lots of fun.

And this time the video should work as well!

 There will be more BatReps on the way.

Thanks

X-Wing Miniatures Game: Millennium Falcon Unboxing & BatRep

Well its has been a long while since my last post, Hopefully I will get my act together.

Got an unboxing video for you and the start of a related BatRep that me and Prospero did a while ago. It has taken me quite some time to get back into doing some hobby related things was kind of suffering the dreaded painters burnout.

Please check out the video below:




On another small note I have also got back into the Orky mindset and have been building some more of those guys, 2 units of DeffKopters (one of which is converted with Big Shooters). Custom flying bases and started doing some bases for the Ork Shoota boyz. So I think there will be an update video on those guys soon.

DeathBringa Out.... for now....
