The new Wings of Glory (Wings of War new name) mats are coming real soon
http://www.aresgames.eu/games/wings-of-glory-line/game-mats

Pretty nice, better than the old mats that FFG was distributing for a while and it's neat how you can combine them to create various layouts.

Here is the art I did for No Quarter

edit: probably shouldn't post before magazine, but I'll post soon!

I imagine it is coming in their next issue.

 

[LaserBuddha]

Cocktease!

 

[BattleMonkey]

I saw it, I saw it all

 

[Leunam]

Yeah. It was too late, I've seen everything.

And it looked good. Looking forward to seeing more.

 

[Diatribe1974]

Well, according to the snoops at WarSeer, it appears that my beloved Dwarfs are in the next big round of Codex/Models update sometime in the beginning of 2013. So yeah, that makes me a happy WHFB player!

Going to post pictures of my new airbrush and compressor. So so so excited! Building a DIY spray booth first!

 

[Leunam]

Went to the Texas Renaissance Festival today and saw this awesome Khorne barbarian. Muttered "blood for the blood god," and I replied "skulls for the skull throne."

That spraybooth cost me less than $20 to build! A+

At least its somewhat appropriate, always bugs me to see anime cosplay at renfairs around here

looks awesome you'll have to give us a review of the airbrush compressor..which airbrush is it?

Iwata Eclipse HP-CS

And yeah, I'm going to pick a few things up so I can try it out tonight.

I usually don't mind much defects on fantasy figs and weapons on them. Often kind fits in the more rough fantasy like setting. I tend to be more sloppy with fantasy figs it seems as it doesn't stick out as much as with sci fi stuffs.

Anyways, by the way another interesting kickstarter for a nice looking modular terrain solution is up: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1093338811/medieval-village-for-28mm-gamers

just a heads up for anyone still on the fence..this kickstarter ends in 5hrs.

I decided to just go with the small villiage and a bridge..should be enough buildings for 4x4 game table setup for warlord, Hordes and Malifaux

 

[BattleMonkey]

I resisted getting into any of those terrain kickstarters. Just too much expenses have piled up suddenly, time to relax on the buying of anything

 

[bloodydrake]

ya i hear ya..i was gonna pledge more but then ordered the BacktoBase-ix paint rack set which is insanely expensive to ship to canada so kept pledge to small villiage..
which in all honestly is probably all the small buildings Ill ever need.

I am looking at getting a couple Zuzzy Gaming Mats tho.
The scourged Forest painted up to have some green in it should work great for home use and isnt much more expensive then the plain green felt ones.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Fun little article, whats your gamer score! http://www.blmablog.com/2012/11/a-proper-wargamer.html

 

[nicoga3000]

Wow - anyone considering airbrushing needs to look into that Grex compressor I posted. SO GOOD.

Went to a Warmachine convention (Warmachine Weekend) this weekend with a few out of town buddies who are really into it and now I am tempted to start playing. None of my friends are down to play so my question is what are peoples thoughts on Vassal? I want to get a good base understanding for the game before I dive in and go to my local hobby shop to play and was wanting to try out Vassal with my buddies on the east coast so they can teach my slow ass lol

 

[bloodydrake]

you can play warmachine on vassal?
gonna have to look that up

 

[BattleMonkey]

Bunch of new upcoming Dust products, really liking the Allied heavy support walker and it's options. Would like to see what they do for an Axis version: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3715

No real problem with it, I don't see it like some that it's taking away sales. Most who play on Vassal will be doing so when they just can't physically get together to play at a store or friends. And those into the hobby aspect are not going to be deterred.

 

[Keasar]

Saw this in my mailbox from the Reaper Miniatures Kickstarter.

Daym.

FFG posted up some new material for the X-Wing 2nd wave and it seems like it's being pushed back to January: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3721

Certain stores who sign up early enough for the promo event will get in some of the 2nd wave early for use in the event and winners of the event get their choice of 2nd wave figs. Got a store near you that would be interested in doing this, then get them to sign up by the 15th of November!

*edit: doh well they changed the page and removed the promo picture of the boxes of the new figs along with the January date. They have since changed the 2nd wave release to Feb 2013

 

[Leunam]

Damn, too long of a wait.

But wait I must.

Right on, all my friends are scattered or just a pain getting together to learn to play so this will work fine for now.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Great game but yea it really needs more figs/options. I hope they can be more regular with their releases for this game.

 

[daedalius]

Ok, so I still don't think I can post the gear, BUT!

Here is the cover I did for the new Dream Pod 9 heavy gear book

http://www.dp9.com/index.php?option...southern-field-guide&catid=42:news&Itemid=157

It actually started as a 3d render that I painted over; so basically it was a bunch of grey shaded mechs and no background. I'll post some process shots on my site soon so you'll be able to see what I mean.

 

[Leunam]

Makes me want to climb into a tank and burn some fools.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Very cool, was saying dp9 needed better art after some of their recent covers.

 

[BattleMonkey]

DP9 put up a wallpaper version of your art on their site: http://dp9forum.com/files/DP9-9266-Wallpaper-South-Forged-in-Fire-1920x1080.jpg

Yea I saw that, pretty cool stuff. As for making better covers, ill be glad to do as many as they send me

 

[bloodydrake]

hey thats awesome daedalius grats on getting the cover!
it looks great

 

[bloodydrake]

back2base-ix racks arrived!
going full assembly mode now.
got dinged 24.75 on import and duty tax! Damn that sucks..that plus delivery fees almost doubles the price but..to late to dwell on that now.

I love Friday deliveries!


Edit: finished up assembly..

 

[BattleMonkey]

Hope you get to do the Northen guide then, hate discontinuity in cover art

 

[bloodydrake]

for those that aren't sick of seeing the Reaper Kickstarter new sculpts as they are revealed.

They've posted final pictures of the Kaladrax prototype with regular mini for scale

Its GINORMOUS!

 

[daedalius]

I've added a process of the cover to my website: http://galefire.com/2012/11/dream-pod-9-forged-in-fire-cover/

Shows some of the various stages of my work from start to finish, including the initial 3d render.

 

[bloodydrake]

very cool..tho i was hoping to see the No Quarter work there ;-)

I like your final art much better than the touched up cover version. So much detail that seems lost to the more extreme coloring

Yea, I think they level'd it out a bit much; made it too dark overall imo.

But hey, not my call

very cool..tho i was hoping to see the No Quarter work there ;-)

I just finished up another piece of equipment for No Quarter... heh. Hopefully I can post them soon.

 

[BattleMonkey]

See AEWWII is trying to make a comeback now through Kickstarter. It's a real simple nice skirmish game that never became very popular but had some cool ideas. It's another one of those alternate WWII games but it's skirmish scale. Some cool figs and ideas that might be worth a look http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackballgames/ae-wwii-european-theater?ref=live

 

[bloodydrake]

reminds me of hellboy abit, which is cool.
Occult Nazi's are my favorite kind of Nazi's.

 

[bloodydrake]

Nother interesting Kickstarter is Blackwater Gulch.
Its a western skirmish game. you can download the rules for free and proxy play it.
http://www.blackwatergulch.com/

Its their second kickstarter to add more starter kits and models.
I really like the Tranquility Crew aka firefly and the Flying Zarconis

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/springboard/blackwater-gulch-rebels-and-reinforcements


finished off the Druids of Orboros Unit last night
moving on to some Light warbeasts now starting with Winter Argus.

 

[Risible]

Saw this in my mailbox from the Reaper Miniatures Kickstarter.

Daym.

So happy I picked up all the big pieces from the Kickstarter. Got something like 180 total models coming next year from Reaper when they ship the Kickstarter stuff .
