Moving

Anyone who ends up here from wherever please go to http://johnnyhawkwind.wordpress.com/ where this blog now resides.

Thanks for following if you come over and thanks for reading if you don't.

Don't judge me - help me.

Okay, fine, I admit it. I am not the worlds best blogger. All the good intention in the world doesn't make these posts happen.

I have two options - I wait until I have something to say that is worthwhile or I post little and often (like Rimmer during sex).

What do I do then? One post a week that is an update or one every day with whatever I have managed on it.

Open Day @4tkgaming 9th July

I am running an Infinity demo at my LGS on the 9th and have been hurriedly applying paint to my ALEPH miniatures for a 300pt list.

The good news is they are done apart from basing - the bad news is that I am now trying to get the rest of my ALEPH done so I can use more than one list.

I would put photos up but my camera is shocking - time for an investment I think.

Thanks Ron Kruzie @privateerpress

Ok, 3 posts in June wasn't a good month buy practicals and exams were at the forefront of my mind.

July is here now so let's dust off the brushes, rehydrate my paints and get cracking.

I really want to maintain the momentum that I had going in the run up to 'Try Something New' and read a post from Ron Kruzie (PP studio painter) that said put in one hour a day for 2/3 days  and three/four hours at weekends and you will be surpised how much gets done so that's my aim. Actually, I want to aim for an hour every day and then whatever I can at weekends.

Once the Infinity project is out of the way I am looking at either an Epic Caine or Epic Severius 15pt WM list. Just need to decide.

Thanks Ron.

Infinity Demo Night

The first night was a resounding success with 8 people getting a demo.

Some photos for your perusal

Infinity Bakunin Demo Force

Well, here are the three minis that will make up the Nomad demo list for the first of the Infinity demo nights next week.

Slow going.

This morning was spent adding L-beams to my infinity buildings to try and tidy up the corners. Last night saw the Combined Army, ALEPH, Nomad and Ariadna demo lists get a trial. Some tweaking needed but its looking promising.

Building buildings

This morning has been spent trying to finish my buildings for Infinity ready for 'Try Something New'. I just need to add the corners, detail and paint.

Oh, and finish my Relics board - and 5 minis for Infinity.

Argh.

Britanan Demo Force

At last - a photo

Finally, a picture of something. Here's my figures for the Malifaux 'Try Something New' event.

All is quiet.

Bit silent lately as I have been away at Uni but things are progressing - slowly.

Britanan Starter set is complete, Steamborg Executioner is done, Ramos is on the bench.

Infinity minis and buildings on back burner as they are not till week three of our 'Try Something New' promotion.

Photos to come when I get a decent camera/light set up

Under the brush.

What's on the desk at the moment?

The Britanan Starter set from Tor Gaming is currently in the queue ready for 'Try Something New'.

Here's the Troopers as a taster.

Uncharted Seas Human Fleet finished

My Uncharted Seas fleet is finished. This is for my LGS's Try Something New period that is coming up.

Setting Sail

One down, 9 to go. It is the big one out of the way at least.

Try Something New update

Right, all my Britanan are built and based ready for priming. Uncharted Seas sails primed ready for a quick paint, nothing special. Steamborg Executioner has base layer finished. ALEPH Deva needs basing.

Three and a bit weeks to go.

Infinity ALEPH Deva

Forgive the photo it was taken on my phone.

Photography is not my strong suit, neither is painting ;-)

I am so slow.

Well, I have managed to put a bit of paint on my Infinity ALEPH Deva and highlights on a Dakini - at this rate I should have a fully painted force by Xmas.

Will pop pics on later.

Relics Demo Board - In progress.

In readiness for an upcoming series of demonstrations days at my LGS I have the task of putting together a 2' square demo board for Tor Gaming's Relics.

Now, I have a bit of a soft spot for the Britanan (some of you may know this) so I want to have a board that has hints of the Britanan Empire before its decimation.

So, firstly. a quick sketch of my intended layout. As you can see I am certainly no artist.

The dotted line going from top to bottom is a path based upon the bases of my Troopers

The lower right is a hill, there may be a pond to the mid-left and then ruins in the board centre and on the hill and finally some trees.


Here is where I am at the moment then, the path is cut from cardboard squares. the wall is carved from blue insulation foam. I will add a close up of the wall in the next post. The wall isn't attached as it will end up on the hill.

Time management

At my LGS we are planning a series of evenings to promote new games to players. Part of this is going to involve a few of us having to ready forces for the various games.

Now, I am not the quickest painter/builder/anything in the world so this is going to be an interesting experience.

I will keep updating the blog as to my progress.

Antenociti Future Car

A car from www.antenocitisworkshop.com for use on my Infinity board. I love the colour.
