Checkin' in

Hey hey everyone! whats going on in the world of warhammer?

Test Post

I'm just testing a post here. I'm hoping to at least get my units put together soon. Will let y'all know when that happens.

Progress!

Here are some shots of my 500 point Orcs and Goblins list. The bases are pretty much completed and I love how much better things look when you get a little paint on it. Enjoy, and if you get a chance to post your own minis, everyone would love to see them!Here are the wolves, almost ready for their riders.
These spider bases won't be empty for long, and the spiders themselves will have riders!
Here are the my two trolls, Gutspew and Slugdrool.

Here are the regurgitated contents of Gutspew's stomach... hence his clever name.

Comments are optional but appreciated!

Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving everyone

Team Painting Article

Check out this article I found on the Games Workshop website about Team Painting. It's pretty much exactly what Scott suggested to me. You guys let me know what you think would be the best approach for painting a large number of miniatures. My money is on the assembly line approach, that way you have more consistency with the individual models. But really I think it's up Scott, or whoevers' models we're painting.

Terrain Update

In order to prepare myself for the arrival of my new Citadel Realm of Battle Terrain Boards (!), which should arrive sometime around the 29th, I'm trying to get all the other terrain I have laying around the apartment finished up. If anyone wants to help me by painting up anything, or creating your own pieces, just let me know. I have loads of bits and pieces to help create scenery.

Also, Scott came up with this excellent idea of getting together to do a painting party where we only paint one guys' figures. He said his biggest problem with getting his miniatures painted is... he dislikes painting. I understand that it can be a big chore sometimes, but I think that if we all get together and help out Scott not only would it help him get his guys finished, but it would also help everyone's painting skills and perhaps get everyone excited about painting their OWN guys!

Make sure to have a 500 point army list made for the next time we get together, it'll help everything move along faster. If you need to rules for Warbands, let me know and I'll e-mail them to you.

Now, time for the pictures!Bretonnian/Empire house in progress, with Orc for scale.Another view.

Wolves in the stables, noooooooo!!
Staircase, all scratch built!

Gamesday UK 2008 Pictures!

Check out these amazing photos from the British Gamesday. I know that a lot of them are for 40K, but there is an entire Dwarf underground city that I think is incredible and worth looking at. Maybe you can get some ideas from it, Scott. Unfortunately, you cannot download any of the images, because the guy is selfish or something.

Let me know when you guys are free to play a quick game or if you want to make some terrain!
