There are other members of our group that wanted to get in on some blogging action, but didn't want to commit to maintaining a blog full-time.<br /><br />That's how <a href="http://2ndcitywarzone.blogspot.com">2nd City Warzone </a>was born.

While my new camera is a bit nicer than my last one, the functions and settings are all different. It has macro, of course, but pretty much everything else is different. That is my long way of saying that I'm not 100% happy with these pictures. I'm sure I'll get used to it soon and crank out some nicer pictures.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhke1mVYHyK0Q1lyvTVRRhXby8mOGlURnAE4YCNYkwk4SpycREDOOL1X5xXgGiRODmPmYYp8Lv5oIZCpwldHQxYlZGwkTSAMy7xQb2gy7MEwbU_W8Js7wNyMMPseZTkq70Ofhy7WYDsmbrs/s1600-h/Bloodletters.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhke1mVYHyK0Q1lyvTVRRhXby8mOGlURnAE4YCNYkwk4SpycREDOOL1X5xXgGiRODmPmYYp8Lv5oIZCpwldHQxYlZGwkTSAMy7xQb2gy7MEwbU_W8Js7wNyMMPseZTkq70Ofhy7WYDsmbrs/s400/Bloodletters.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326824480920704994" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPNg4f44EBVQ8K154lzIVLnOrmtM85M6RrclqFFXb1xkeHqUSjrg0XOU0vPssZCWuO0JwNJmK7AY5n391TBlVBaFYb1gVV-gnZ0rv1HLhLh0MXHV3DZBzwu3nuOuV7hadxMH3SnIq2mfgg/s1600-h/IMG_0030.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPNg4f44EBVQ8K154lzIVLnOrmtM85M6RrclqFFXb1xkeHqUSjrg0XOU0vPssZCWuO0JwNJmK7AY5n391TBlVBaFYb1gVV-gnZ0rv1HLhLh0MXHV3DZBzwu3nuOuV7hadxMH3SnIq2mfgg/s400/IMG_0030.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326824111901648386" /></a><br /><br />I definitely have to add a little more highlighting o these guys and clean up some of the mistakes. There are quite a few areas that I slopped red paint somewhere it wasn't supposed to go (the red paint I slopped on the swords may stay).<br /><br />I have to finish up the claws, some spines, the teeth, eyes, and more highlighting on the swords. I'm hoping to have this unit done after one more painting session.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHmVtb73c2ixPtJKfRTCzR_6U13FpQWMdZJzyNeDk9i9P5KVz7ILn3wegcM102WKkKasyTk14rmEHCfvTuSEiRSNHfKQ_1CAp6dRVqNtYg9SjXK9PHj-6txo0zntka9Kdhm1Jwn7giKkRs/s1600-h/IMG_0036.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 183px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHmVtb73c2ixPtJKfRTCzR_6U13FpQWMdZJzyNeDk9i9P5KVz7ILn3wegcM102WKkKasyTk14rmEHCfvTuSEiRSNHfKQ_1CAp6dRVqNtYg9SjXK9PHj-6txo0zntka9Kdhm1Jwn7giKkRs/s400/IMG_0036.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326824076949280210" /></a><br />Here's the banner/ icon.

It's been a few months since I moved to the current format of switching off between progress pictures and in-game pictures. <br /><br />So how do you like it so far? <br /><br />Speaking of progress pictures, I have been plugging away at my Bloodletters. Unfortunately, I broke my camera during a pinata-bashing session at a baby shower this weekend. No, I didn't hit it with a bat. I just dropped it.<br /><br />Here's a picture that someone else took of me about to rip the candy heart out of the beast that indirectly cause this tragedy:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqUU1J2WJHiuh_nGzU-qrfwozEFCT5vzJr5qnA99brc7JAYqiQWWPX13cJcgpSSzRwc7e6sllEr41F21cnHuLrVeS5dyaydE1jAxgTr5pcvrNzpfD0FzyuNphv98KLnvtGtlfYwcadaG8o/s1600-h/pinata+heart-crop.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqUU1J2WJHiuh_nGzU-qrfwozEFCT5vzJr5qnA99brc7JAYqiQWWPX13cJcgpSSzRwc7e6sllEr41F21cnHuLrVeS5dyaydE1jAxgTr5pcvrNzpfD0FzyuNphv98KLnvtGtlfYwcadaG8o/s400/pinata+heart-crop.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322373023692496882" /></a><br /><br /><br />Anyway, it will be a little bit before I show any more pictures, but that's where you come in. I need suggestions on a camera. I will mainly be using it to take pictures of the kids, but obviously, I need one that can take pictures of miniatures, too (although it seems like almost all cameras have macro now). Suggestions, anyone?<br /><br />For the past several years, I've been posting pictures of Adepticon. However, for a wide variety of reasons, I wasn't able to attend this year. I will however post links to other blog that I think did a good job of coverage. <br /><br />For example, John at <a href="http://plasticlegions.blogspot.com/search/label/Adepticon">plastic legions.</a><br /><br />Finally, I have jumped on a bandwagon I would normally avoid and have summoned a <a href="http://www.heresy-online.net/daemons/index.php">Daemon Adoptable</a>. It can be found on the right hand column. If you have no other feedback or suggestions, please at least click my Daemon.<br /><br />I will be back soon with pictures of bloodletters.

I got to play against Art, my old nemesis and former roommate. Art and I have played in some games together in the last few years, but it's always been some odd two-on-one deal or a three-way free-for-all. This was the first time we were able to go mano-a-mano in something like three years. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfl0aWs2lgbKJjvNXALHETo4semHGwvmGPWrbdxditrwbjwYmGn5XjJ1K1_o1sN6ooZK7yXirMvpvjilmLjSWtWa_uk80-gbWxH3lA9-ii_4IgmS8IVMtlCtpLMjRIRxk4kz78QoC-8KK2/s1600-h/battle+pics+029.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfl0aWs2lgbKJjvNXALHETo4semHGwvmGPWrbdxditrwbjwYmGn5XjJ1K1_o1sN6ooZK7yXirMvpvjilmLjSWtWa_uk80-gbWxH3lA9-ii_4IgmS8IVMtlCtpLMjRIRxk4kz78QoC-8KK2/s400/battle+pics+029.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317577487445302610" /></a>This game had four objectives so Art deployed in the center near three of them. I was hoping to surround him, but not a single unit from my second wave showed up until turn three. That gave him plenty of time to waste my first wave. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmHlw3R9N4DTooGwvY5pRC8Znw8gyWhzsdIf2ZmIsZjl3m-IZTBi3FUiYF06Podk6IGqSGWl3CVez5vXywsFrdVV8Dh72_35eKTyb6-zWmGqhvnzSujCXzpb2bEIfnIKcofJV312eciajA/s1600-h/battle+pics+034.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 273px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmHlw3R9N4DTooGwvY5pRC8Znw8gyWhzsdIf2ZmIsZjl3m-IZTBi3FUiYF06Podk6IGqSGWl3CVez5vXywsFrdVV8Dh72_35eKTyb6-zWmGqhvnzSujCXzpb2bEIfnIKcofJV312eciajA/s400/battle+pics+034.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317577498466290034" /></a>My screamers made a line for his hellhound when they finally showed up, but it would be too little, too late.

The subject is test miniature.<br /><br />Instead of painting a whole squad at once, you paint just one to see how you like the color scheme.

I just wanted somewhere to practice some highlighting and shading techniques. I figured a spawn was a good place for that. I don't intend to paint a whole squad like this, but I figure that if it doesn't come out perfect, no big deal,it's just a spawn.<br /><br />The reason I'm bringing this all up is that with the unit I'm currently painting (the bloodletters), I wanted to forgo the usual test mini. I figured that they're mainly just red so how hard can they be? <br /><br />Another reason I didn't want to paint a test mini was this it takes the limited painting time I have away from the unit as a whole. I really wanted to bang this unit out quick. Plus, I don't want to agonize over this unit too much. I'm more of a Tzeentch/ Slaanesh kinda guy, you know?<br /><br />I painted the Bloodletters this week but didn't post pictures because I'm just not happy with them yet. I think I've come to the realization that it's harder to work without a goal in mind.<br /><br />Here's what I mean. I started with a white under coat and started with a couple layers of Blood Red. <br /><br />The first shading layer was Blood Red mixed with Red Gore(1:1). This layer didn't show that much, but I figured that as it was just the first layer.<br /><br />I did this on all 8 miniatures in the unit. This took about three painting sessions (yeah, I paint slow).<br /><br />The next layer was pure Red Gore. However, the shading wasn't really coming out the way I wanted. After I painted about half of the unit, I added Dark Angels Green to the Red Gore and painted one mini with it. <br /><br />This one miniature looked OK, but I had too many questions. Is this final layer going to be dark enough? Should I add some Black? should I strat to build up some highlights? I wanted to work some purple in there; how would I do that?<br /><br />I came to the realization that I'd have to paint a test mini. I hope I can nail it on the first try and not have to paint three of them.<br /><br />What about the rest of you? Test miniatures: Good, bad? Waste of time? I'm open to suggestions if you have them.Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13517505521320817373noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656961127351826582.post-88912725101630352942009-02-24T12:59:00.005-06:002009-02-24T13:49:42.190-06:00It's that time of year againTime to help the gaming group get their Adepticon team tournament list ready. I haven't play the tournament since way back in 2006, but the people with whom I play do the team tournament every year. So every year for months leading up to Adepticon, I play a lot of team games.<br /><br />Last night I allied with Chad's Imperial Guard. To celebrate the fact that I completed a second squad, my 1000 pts represented a "pure" Thousand Sons force: Two units of Sons, one unit of lesser summoned daemons, a spawn, and a chaos sorcerer HQ.<br /><br />Nick and Eric both played Dark Angels (technically, Nick played Angels of Absolution).<br /><br />Here are some picks plus a short recap:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiChZ1GFslw6WmbxtBxYG9921r5vNZ-ycWLoNdGpGCrV3N7Fvsp4Hq4ZYbvlSG47vULcZjZQO9LLcNYtlOj2nIvoCe4DMOwLvOaooEX8BpL4772RxpZAPkrgIMQoMV8Z3c1qYgjcrcnhVnc/s1600-h/battle+pics+010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiChZ1GFslw6WmbxtBxYG9921r5vNZ-ycWLoNdGpGCrV3N7Fvsp4Hq4ZYbvlSG47vULcZjZQO9LLcNYtlOj2nIvoCe4DMOwLvOaooEX8BpL4772RxpZAPkrgIMQoMV8Z3c1qYgjcrcnhVnc/s400/battle+pics+010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306443688478228914" /></a>Here's the board set-up.

Chad's HQ takes on three terminators at the peak of this ruin. Truly a contest for the ages.<br /><br />In the end, the angels would be victorious; breaking Nick's non-winning streak, but continuing mine.<br /><br />I try to learn something with every game I play in hopes that I can improve my playing skill. My biggest mistake in this game was that I worried way too much about Eric's Vindicator on the left flank. I sent Corrcal's quad (a.k.a. Squad #1), to shoot a bolt of change at it. If I had instead spent that turn motoring over to the right flank (which was getting hammered by Nick and Eric's double-wing combo), I probably would have had a better chance of turning the tide of the game.<br /><br />One tactic that Eric employed to my annoyance was going to ground whenever I rapid-fired my AP3 bolters at him. An odd move for a marine player, but one that kept his troops on the objective.Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13517505521320817373noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656961127351826582.post-79010594116468986722009-02-18T17:11:00.003-06:002009-02-18T17:25:05.264-06:00Rohm Dutt and the next step<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8v2kcG5PegWy3Z443E9Ek93uZICbjhcwbjxxsKeQxDdq6qOizXneY0ViR5dHZlERTov_1kwQMLym34t5kSQyXasRuvDGYvwHJnOkqaawfR_P-l7RpkupYZD_7y5dj5fzpPanI7xkM90nI/s1600-h/RDhutt017.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 351px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8v2kcG5PegWy3Z443E9Ek93uZICbjhcwbjxxsKeQxDdq6qOizXneY0ViR5dHZlERTov_1kwQMLym34t5kSQyXasRuvDGYvwHJnOkqaawfR_P-l7RpkupYZD_7y5dj5fzpPanI7xkM90nI/s400/RDhutt017.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304279567797799138" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwqgUX3mvaOffMDeiuXekNrJDgQAfL_N6s08Ku-zn48sAedk7T_Mhc7NB59hBQeEaukmvS5w4eUQal_-cVxgdD65_cihAJVL_D93czxEgRBsILwzQ4aYBZJ1gSjwsREwe2uSYGIRNuMy8z/s1600-h/RDhutt018.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 343px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwqgUX3mvaOffMDeiuXekNrJDgQAfL_N6s08Ku-zn48sAedk7T_Mhc7NB59hBQeEaukmvS5w4eUQal_-cVxgdD65_cihAJVL_D93czxEgRBsILwzQ4aYBZJ1gSjwsREwe2uSYGIRNuMy8z/s400/RDhutt018.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304279568136014610" /></a><br />Rohm Dutt is done (and the title of this post would make an awesome band name).

I really don't like writing battle reports, but I do like looking at pictures.<br /><br />Anyway, here are some photos of last Monday's "Nerd Night."<br /><br />I played against Eric and his Imperial Fists (formally the Highland Lions). It was an exciting Command and Control game that came down to a very close draw. I guess it was so exciting that I forgot to take any pictures except for the one above and this one...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp8-ljCoAdfMS7bcCUbAgpi2ZSLv8D5HonnPbDUnrhPPtTW0IArVWGHxs-ELkDrQfBckl6aWwWz9P28QxUHInTlubo1geWPAXkduCHda65Dmn5tEbkQwI8r4TUw_vyWbo3qidBaXsbchN7/s1600-h/battle+pics+rocs+.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 356px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp8-ljCoAdfMS7bcCUbAgpi2ZSLv8D5HonnPbDUnrhPPtTW0IArVWGHxs-ELkDrQfBckl6aWwWz9P28QxUHInTlubo1geWPAXkduCHda65Dmn5tEbkQwI8r4TUw_vyWbo3qidBaXsbchN7/s400/battle+pics+rocs+.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302053927277755026" /></a> ...of my Tzeentch Herald facing of against a land speeder (which was downed the next turn).<br /><br />Since our game was pretty short, I took some pictures of the game happening on the table next to me:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHWk5kIcwdElInANmtdh5zugG-Dx9I1Tyh9dwFCIvrW067FF48nHVdXQ-YWW3s_0TJtp33JdAAmQ183ZJ7rZCyOEjwxZ19gkxdlq3v7w2nT7YScdIR3BoqXUijLt_a4ghaZEDdan9b442r/s1600-h/battle+pics+004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHWk5kIcwdElInANmtdh5zugG-Dx9I1Tyh9dwFCIvrW067FF48nHVdXQ-YWW3s_0TJtp33JdAAmQ183ZJ7rZCyOEjwxZ19gkxdlq3v7w2nT7YScdIR3BoqXUijLt_a4ghaZEDdan9b442r/s400/battle+pics+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302053924690588482" /></a><br />It was a battle between Nick's Angels of Absolution and Chad's Varrian 10th Imperial Guard.<br /><br />Enjoy.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUK266OjqBSmd7f0qkGmIwQCEyrXhSVg-3BG0CGW5q26RvjC7XA4klUjvvOJi2gSFiyCuL3QAl0jnb7b0M5YAjBpmNo3JrmuPmLlE6tJzKRMODi9xxA1RsfNi13chFD8bVpv8m1ViwPmeV/s1600-h/battle+pics+005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUK266OjqBSmd7f0qkGmIwQCEyrXhSVg-3BG0CGW5q26RvjC7XA4klUjvvOJi2gSFiyCuL3QAl0jnb7b0M5YAjBpmNo3JrmuPmLlE6tJzKRMODi9xxA1RsfNi13chFD8bVpv8m1ViwPmeV/s400/battle+pics+005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302053917044900082" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXlbeQzcSf5M0kRq8CYcd10TeWmcCQ7ejXti6zovqWH4YrleL44B-YBeMmOHkRJamu5IpMhjWUcoHu5K8M1Lrc1Zsi944E4gugAi66ql6YlCGMKzoPMoKL5p4bMOFqzpEn4i_o_zswF50P/s1600-h/battle+pics+007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXlbeQzcSf5M0kRq8CYcd10TeWmcCQ7ejXti6zovqWH4YrleL44B-YBeMmOHkRJamu5IpMhjWUcoHu5K8M1Lrc1Zsi944E4gugAi66ql6YlCGMKzoPMoKL5p4bMOFqzpEn4i_o_zswF50P/s400/battle+pics+007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302053911558646594" /></a>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13517505521320817373noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656961127351826582.post-89595933983890151712009-02-02T12:05:00.000-06:002009-02-02T12:05:00.396-06:00I hate this part....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAuy-dwW_vdE8i7YEzmq9puSbOezPPaDip9ZGoK8tL9CG6iKw3QjsLbaKRKGHer-9XjT7xQEjfHWkjoqrdO28AARnVR4fwLn_2V2g6hLvueH7FwL_HOXHnBcaCF9GGyE3zgKV78oydp3tU/s1600-h/DSCN2923.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 385px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAuy-dwW_vdE8i7YEzmq9puSbOezPPaDip9ZGoK8tL9CG6iKw3QjsLbaKRKGHer-9XjT7xQEjfHWkjoqrdO28AARnVR4fwLn_2V2g6hLvueH7FwL_HOXHnBcaCF9GGyE3zgKV78oydp3tU/s400/DSCN2923.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298050906887772098" /></a><br />I spent a few minutes working on Rohm Dutt this weekend.

I'm very happy that I decided that. I feel a lot better without this unfinished unit looming over me.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK1drrCv1D0Bi8KHseMvKKjMnY6N7FOUB0umFRogrQ8UyTXcSwXPuxAJP6PfhoRnA8vAR4I4YfJ_MVWZxd62BkxJv84iMlGkhZT189sDPjXlLSfHsPrFuqAMysq7nLvlnuDhj8QsBsHt1R/s1600-h/tsons+013.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 177px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK1drrCv1D0Bi8KHseMvKKjMnY6N7FOUB0umFRogrQ8UyTXcSwXPuxAJP6PfhoRnA8vAR4I4YfJ_MVWZxd62BkxJv84iMlGkhZT189sDPjXlLSfHsPrFuqAMysq7nLvlnuDhj8QsBsHt1R/s400/tsons+013.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296417134498944626" /></a><br />One big concern for me was that the second squad matched the first squad. It's funny, because I've been working for them on and off for so long, my painting style and skill level has changed a bit. However, I think the above photo shows that they match pretty well.<br /><br />You'll see in the picture that the two from the first squad (on the right) have only one stripe on their tabards where the new squad has two. Also, in an effort to differentiate them, I added more silver elements to their backpack (which you can't see in these photos).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOxAoZ_FfKXR7Y5dDJLil2OSbs45o7ql4dVbUjIshgiEnKJzHkfjih6lr4sgTsqpRQMkzkPaE2FfnXRbUyHfv1bIG5vHx9mlLi-cg6-iDs8qAn1tc43JrljLqIfo6ynVhAQN3e9hfPNWwa/s1600-h/tsons+012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 378px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOxAoZ_FfKXR7Y5dDJLil2OSbs45o7ql4dVbUjIshgiEnKJzHkfjih6lr4sgTsqpRQMkzkPaE2FfnXRbUyHfv1bIG5vHx9mlLi-cg6-iDs8qAn1tc43JrljLqIfo6ynVhAQN3e9hfPNWwa/s400/tsons+012.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296417137140939842" /></a><br />The sorcerer for this unit is still a work in progress.

In the foreground are <a href="http://highlandlions.blogspot.com/">Eric's</a> new Crimson Fists.<br /><br />Tune in tomorrow for a monumental update.Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13517505521320817373noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656961127351826582.post-12880803034598493572009-01-24T06:00:00.000-06:002009-01-24T06:00:01.116-06:00Moving ForwardAs I mentioned in my last post, I was disappointed by how little I blogged in the last year. However, I think I see why. I tried to be a little too ambitious in what I'm doing here. I wanted to add a lot more content (campaign rules and terrain features being good examples). <div><div></div><br /><div>As it turns out, the Fly Lords of Terra, I am not.</div><div> </div><div>So this year, I want to take it 'back to basics'. When I started blogging (way back in <a href="http://paintingthousandsons.blogspot.com/">2006</a>), I just wanted a place to share what I was working on painting-wise. Then I started reading stuff like BOLS and From the Warp and thought, "Oh yeah, that's what I want to be!"</div><div></div><br /><div>Well, I think I realized that I don't really have the focus, energy, or patience for that. Plus, I have a lot of other things I do besides updating this blog (including a second child on the way in May!WOOT!). </div><div> </div><div>That doesn't mean I won't post battle reports or articles on campaigning: it just means that I'm making no promises. I plan to post as many pictures of my current projects as I can, and if I decide to do more, it's all gravy.</div><br /><div></div><div>So, that leads me right into my gaming resolutions for 2009 (hey, it's still January, I can still post these!)</div><div></div><br /><div>First off, I plan to focus on Daemons this year. I want to finish 1,500 pts by the end of the year. I hope I'm not aiming too high, but it seems to me that Daemons paint up pretty fast. Much faster than my Thousand Sons or Space wolves.</div><div></div><div> </div><div>Secondly, I plan to work on only one unit at a time. Being a "painting butterfly" is a huge problem for me. For example, in 2008 I started or worked on at least <strong>eleven</strong> projects but only finished two. Now, I plan to finish a project before I start a new one.</div><div></div><br /><div>So let me show you what i have been working on...</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294631235920849746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD1qZVF0lPNaHU-ZkVQMc05NZPQISRs_3pOE1CHEk54coDHfQL5te9A-N_zEffN6UeR2dslI1Yft7R3WEF9DGlhNJzpCOmIHSa3jJrOR6NYDXHu73N6YoXFrHLGgw7eoe4EMD1gJO7jLob/s400/jan+057.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><br /><div>First off, I just finished these horrors. For some reason, I just can't seem to get a picture of them that I'm happy with. This picture only shows four of them and hopefully, I'll be able to show you the rest as soon as I take a better picture.</div><div></div><br /><div>Here is my current project:</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294631245804159554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 281px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7QXS7xmtcxQGcOJJ9UcuvN8FvCg_m2rxwyRGvhOZdmnxhtkBN6uNbANXL6ip8IssHeLiyiAgIUjHi3tLPmehq0OeaFESiqW8amnSClIuOFN4pARJnOmPUgM3oKiE1byuLk7cGrs84qvSM/s400/jan+008.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br /><div>These guys have been collecting dust in my drawer for a while (he-he, "dust"). I'm maybe one session away from finishing them.

Let me just get this out of the way.<br /><br />Here are more noteable events of 2008:<br /><br /><strong>More Game Stores in and around Chicago!!</strong><br />This year saw the opening of Gamer's Asylum in Evanston (where I purchased some Bloodletters and my collecter edition of 5th), Black Sun Games in Chicago (Where I picked up my Lord of Change and Assault on Black Reach), and The Games Dojo (Where I've never actaully been but figured I'd mention it).<br /><br />I for a long time have looked for a games store to make my "home store". However, since I already have a regular place to play (not a game store), I'm probably not as excited about this as I could be. They're good stores and I plan to support them (Black Sun at least), but I don't see myself playing in them that often.<br /><br /><strong>5th Edition of 40K</strong><br />This is a huge deal. I've been over this, but I really like 5th edition. It's sad that a fair number of people I know actually quit 40K over 5th edition. Oh well; their loss.<br /><br /><strong>First time running a 40K campaign</strong><br />Again, I've been over this. I've learned something and I'm moving forward.<br /><br /><strong>Blogging</strong><br />Seems like more blogs then ever have popped up this year. I'm sad to say that I think I wrote less this year then in the two proceeding years (look <a href="http://paintingthousandsons.blogspot.com/">here</a> for 06). More on this in the next post.<br /><br /><br />Wheew! I'm glad that's out of the way....Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13517505521320817373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656961127351826582.post-13927065902747129692008-12-31T15:57:00.003-06:002008-12-31T16:16:01.386-06:00Looking back...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">In an effort to consider my gaming-related resolutions for next year, I looked back at the goals I set for myself </span></span><a href="http://citizennickhobbycenter.blogspot.com/2008/01/looking-forward-for-2008.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">last year</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">. Let's see how I did, shall we?</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">1. </span></span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">"What is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Wargaming</span>?" article</span></span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> - I never did write this, did I? I'd still like to, I just have to remember to actually do it.<br /><br />2. </span></span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">More terrain!</span></span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> - This one wasn't about building terrain, it was about showing off other people's terrain. I did a <a href="http://citizennickhobbycenter.blogspot.com/search/label/Terrain">couple posts</a> on this, but it didn't last very long.<br /><br />3. </span></span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">More games... Maybe...</span></span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Pftt</span>! Not even close. In fact, I think it was this year that I came to terms with the fact that I have no time for another game system. I'd still like to break out some Star Wars minis with my son, but it's important to accept my limitations. <br /><br />4. </span></span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Running my First 40K Campaign</span></span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> - This is one thing I did do. Some things were good about it and some things were bad. If nothing else it was a learning experience. It gave me a lot of ideas for my next campaign.</span></span><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;font-family:arial;">So I only got one out of three. Pretty <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">abysmal</span>, I'd say. Next time, more looking back on 2008.</span></div>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13517505521320817373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656961127351826582.post-809107984053795462008-12-18T10:21:00.006-06:002008-12-18T11:52:32.809-06:00Prospero Burns!!The Black Library just announced its <a href="http://www.blacklibrary.com/coming-soon/">2009 line-up of books</a>.
