The Pokey Brigade - Good Enough for Government Work

Edit Post

Got time to sneak one last update on these guys in for September. The painting and decals are done, I got them finished up yesterday and then hit them twice with Glosscote and once with Dullcote. They'll be getting based over the coming weeks, as I find time like I did with the archers, but the chariots and bolt throwers will be the main project for October.

These guys are my favorite of the bunch, I think the white star came out the best of all the decals I put together.

The face (in case you were wondering, yes I'll be referring to the brigades by these names in games :P) is tied for second place, it looks all right but it's kind of small.

The crescent came in last. The decals on the shields don't stand out enough for my taste, they're too thin I think.

Finally, the wings were the other second place finisher, beaten out only by the star because it was such a pain to get them centered on the shields.

Polling the Audience

Edit Post

A mid-week update to get some thoughts on the decals. I've only done one stand so far and then touched it up where it cracked along the edges. I see a couple more spots thanks to the macro where I can help mask the fact that its a decal, but what do you guys think? Worth it?

The End is in Sight! Again...

I finished the spear hafts and leather this past week and began the touchup. I'm hoping to finish the painting on these guys over the weekend so I can work on the transfers and the basing the next. The plan is to have them done by next week's photo session, but I'm ready for them to be done now. :P

An Epic Event

Edit Post

Thirteen of us went head to head in some massive battles at Dragonhead Distributors in Fountain Head, PA this past weekend. Both games involved at least two players with 8k per side. My Marines dished out some punishment to Eldar, Demiurg and Black Legion in a slug-fest of Epic proportions.

Joe's Battle Barge guards the Blitz along with some Whirlwinds and Land Raiders. My Warhounds enter the field. My Speeders scout ahead. Bill's Elysians touch down. Karl's Eldar hold the city. Cameron's Tormentor sneaks around the buildings. Kalpesh's and Matt T's Black Legion do battle. Pat's Death Riders grab a T&H. The Gorgons start their engines. The Krieg and Orks bash it out. Bill's back line. Ron's Demiurg do what they do best, sit and shoot. Steve's Russes move on up. Karl's Eldar are still holding the city. Matt's retinue is wiped out and Kalpesh's BTS is broken. That's a lot of Krieg. Kalpesh's Black Legion moves up. My Speeders harass some Eldar. Bill tries (and fails) to take out the broken Warhound. Hot Guard on Guard action! Eric's Baneblade sally forth. Matt's Decimators prepare to put some smack down. Tora! Tora! Tora! My second game. Karl and I took on Kalpesh and Matt C. Karl's Biel-tan prepares to face Matt's Ulthwe. Pat providing valuable insite on the location of Cameron's army. The Imperial line. Bill's Elysians team up with Matt B's Orks. They face off against Eric's Guard... and Matt's Black Legion. Kalpesh's Black Legion ready to move. Karl sets up some nice support for my drop next turn. Hold the building! Hellblade down! Picking on fatty. The Krieg move up. Joe's drop takes the left flank. Demiurg face off against Dark Angels. Steve's Guard push forward. The battle line. The Marines hold the far flank, but we're out of time. Fewer things are sadder than an unfinished battle.
