Flames of War mini rule book now on for sale.

It seems for $15 you can now buy the mini rule book. A win in my book!!!

Compare that with the Games Workshop $50 dollar mini rule book. Granted the FOW book will fall apart but for $6-$12 you can get it bound it still is a better value then the GW mini book.

WIP Transports for Battlefleet Gothic and other things

Lighting and metallics still to go.

So this is how it is coming along. I hope to get the six transport/supply ships done soon. I should have a full day of working on it this Tuesday, so I better get some sleep right after I post this.

I am liking the color on this one thus far.

The colors on this is pretty cool looking, I painted then washed and then went back over with the main colors once more. Once I get the lighting done and some shiny parts it will be perfect.

3 transports/supply, another 3 on the way

Here is a work in progress of the transports/supply ships, just got the Primer on, letting it sit and then finish this up probable by on monday. I will start work on the planet also, I feel like a earth type world. The stands with post are for more asteroids.

Planet and some bases for asteroids

Proxy fighter/bomber for Battlefleet Gothic

Just a test piece for use in Battlefleet gothic using Babylon 5 ships. I like how they look.

I can't wait to see this Planetfall release next year!

Ok, I wasn't a fan of the Dropship Commander miniatures, but Planetfall's artwork looks good, and should prove to be some nice miniatures if they can pull it off in miniature. I hope the rules system is rock solid also and come next year I will be building my little army up.

Happy gaming people!!

Terrain Board I made many many years ago...

I had this idea of making a terrain board probable over 10 years ago I think, and when I moved to Maui from Oahu I had given them to the owner of a local hobby shop so people could use it. Funny to see how badly the choice of color was for the board, but I was younger then.

He had dug it out recently and let people use it. It is pretty beat up and the brown is just bad. But as my first attempt at a large terrain piece it was fun to make. Though section is missing, he had 3 out of the 4 parts for people to play on. They are on 2x4 foot foam sections, somewhat interchangeable.  It can be setup in a number of ways. 2x4, 4x4, 6x4, 4x8.

I may tackle something like this in a future date, but as it stands I don't got the space to tackle a project that takes up to much space.

With some work it can be passable once again as a playing surface.

Battlefleet Gothic buying or failing to buy ships.... =p

I was trying to figure out what they were. They were pretty beat up and painted (thickly) badly so there will be much work to get them back up to standards.

1. Chaos Repulsive class Grand Cruiser.
2. Chaos Despoiler Class Battleship.
3. Imperial Battleship.

On a side note, I did not get to buy some Space Marine ships today from a friend who changed his mind on the agreed amount for the fleet, after he looked on the ebay prices of them. I guess he forgot about how I gave him OOP 40k Dwarves for free and the trade we had that was in his favor awhile ago.  Oh well, I was so looking forward to having those ships to paint up. The positive of that, is I get to keep my money I suppose.  =/

I am currently working on painting up some cargo ships for my friend who had two packs of them. I am thinking of painting a DHL, FEDEX, UPS ones up.  =0 The rest will be random stuff that I think will look good too.

Painting a Red Planet

Been busy at work painting up a planet for tomorrow.... I mean todays game. It is past 12am I really got to sleep.

Ok, this is a work in progress of my red planet. I am pretty happy with it as it stands but need to touch up a tad bit and call it finished.

Red Planet next to smaller blue one.

Looking at them side by side you can see the size difference I hope. I really like how the red came out, I did multiple laying in brushes then patches followed by more patches of paint.

A plastic half sphere I found.

I have two sizes, and wish to find a real big one, so I can make a Gas giant with a ring around it. If anyone knows of where to get a larger plastic sphere let me know.
