Journeyman's IMC Prize Support

Holy late posts, Batman!

Yes, the IMC was a couple months ago, but for those of you that couldn't attend, here's the chance to see what I painted for support. I decided to do a Croak Hunter, to give me more experience working with skin.

Scotty's IMC prize support: Midas, Farrow Warlock

Painted this guy up as my contribution for the InterMountain Cup prize support.
While I thought he was a fig that would be a lot of fun to paint in the beginning, I ended up really struggling to like my progress, and let it get right down to the wire on finishing him.
I had planned to make big 'ol pile of guts and bones in front of him, like he had just recently slaughtered some hapless victim, however, I ran out of Green stuff and did not have time to get more before I absolutely had to start slinging paint.

After all is said and done, I think he is a passable enough paint job.
Thanks for looking. Scotty-

Infinity: Morat Agression Force!

Finally had time to finish up the original starter for my Combined army, and also busted out the Zerat Hacker at about the same time! Had the Zerat sitting on my desk, just bare white primer for a long time. I was really struggling with color placement on her, and since Infinity figs are so clean, you really have to think about that before you start slingin the paint.

Scarab helped me immensely with the color choices and placement, otherwise I don't think she'd be even close to finished yet. The Vanguards were pretty easy as I had already finished one a while back when I first got the box set.

Grim's IMC Prize Support

The IMC has come and gone…
As prize support for the IMC I put a few weeks of nightly paint sessions into these guys and they were finished just in the nick of time.  I finished these three at 2:30AM Sept 14th, giving me just enough time to sleep for approx 4 hours, and spend the entire day at the Intermountain Cup.  I had a good time at the cup, and was glad that we were able to provide some prize support for this enormous event.
Here is a pic: I hope that the person who won these in the raffle enjoys them.


Thanks for Watching!

Piper of Tir-Na-Bor

Finished up this tiny little bugger a little while back. I really, really enjoy painting them a lot! This one is an older fig in the Rackham line, so is a little more static, but I love how cartooney the faces were back then!
I threw in a group shot since I had rounded these guys out to a solid little force of five. Thanks for looking. Scotty-

Inter Mountain Cup recap

This past weekend in Ogden, UT the IMC Fall tournament took place. 64 slots for players and I believe 58 attended that day. It was a great turnout with a professional camera man and a wonderful painting contest. Here are my photos from the event.

Geek Garage raffle prizes.

Clash for a cure: Saxon Orrick

Got my donation to the C4C finished a while back as well, but just now found a second to slap him on up here. Kind of went all over the place with the coloring on this guy, but I think it came together well in the end.
I went fairly simple for the base, but wanted it to look like a native part of our (southern) Utah landscape. Hence the red dirt and dead grass!

Thanks for taking a look!

Grims Mini Swap WIP

So I have been spending a whole lot of time playing Warmahordes and doing modifications or conversions on my Trollbloods army.  So my painting time has suffered a bit.  However I did get a bit of time this last little bit to work on this little dude for Scotty.  A classic Warrior of the Abyss from the Mid Nor of Confrontation.

The Hobby within a Hobby

There are a lot of things people do with their hobby time. Most people play their games, paint their figs, research their lists, drool over the latest models. But everyone i believe has their "secret" hobby, or their hobby within a hobby. 

What could this be?

This is something that could be called a hobby in it's own right, but is used to help elevate the primary hobby. Sometimes these hobbies are a direct result of needing something for your little army men. Does this sound familiar?
