Nice blog Jimmy. I'll have to give it a more focused read tomorrow. I actually spent this evening opening my new X-Wing base set along with the Most Wanted, Slave I, IG-2000, Y-Wing and HWK-290 expansions. I'm looking forward to playing my fist game with my models and using the new faction ships on ...

Now the Lizardmen can evolve into Nids so there is a "compatible" counter the Space Marine like army that has been rumored! /s

Nagash and Glottkin softcover books are up for pre-order on GW's site today.

I voted Dark Elves due to both our army and theirs getting new books in the last year and a half. Skaven is always good too as I have never managed a win in a full sized game against them.

Very nice! I'm interested in how you will fill the gaps on the diving phoenix. It should look very nice once painted.

Necrotic Doc Oc! Quick, somebody call Spiderman!

Very nice!

Painted Thundertusks look much more scary than the non-painted variety.

I tried to get the Frostheart finished while the site was down, but I got distracted by the Flamespyre... so I'll add him to my pledge as well. http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc246/Rychek426/Warhammer/IMG_4499_zps5b971482.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc246/Rychek426/Warhammer/IMG_4498_...

Thanks for all our hard work, blood, sweat and any other bodily fluids that may be been split/flown!

Here is the Flamespyre with the yellow wash and it turned out nicely. http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc246/Rychek426/Warhammer/IMG_4492_zps6e2ec047.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc246/Rychek426/Warhammer/IMG_4491_zps4c880768.jpg However, I decided it looked too plain and, in the words o...

Update: I'm nearly done with the Frostheart. Just need to do some touchup work on the head. speaking of the head, here it is: http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc246/Rychek426/Warhammer/IMG_4501_zps4dc82ff2.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc246/Rychek426/Warhammer/IMG_4500_zpsd356a79f.jpg

No. I haven't painted any color, other than a white base coat on the Flamespyre, with the air brush. The Frostheart was done with traditional brushes as well.

I started working on my Flamespyre today. I started with a white/gray primer then airbrushed the whole thing white with Vallejo air brush paint. I then washed the whole bird with red, then orange then yellow (all Anita's brand craft paints). So far I'm pretty pleased with how it is turning out. It i...

It has been quite some time since I checked this thread, but I have to say Jimmy, you really know how to pump out the content. =D> I'm practically drooling over those Flamespyres you painted. After watching the Youtube video you used, I've got some interesting ideas as to how I might paint my Flames...

Status update: I actually got around to doing some painting on last months, er, I mean this months pledge. Here are the results so far. http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc246/Rychek426/Warhammer/IMG_4475_zpsb7c7204d.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc246/Rychek426/Warhammer/IMG_4477_zps18639...

Thanks Jimmy! I've got a lot of work to go, but it feels good to be painting again.

I've finally gotten to it and started painting my Frostheart. http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc246/Rychek426/Warhammer/IMG_4475_zpsb7c7204d.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc246/Rychek426/Warhammer/IMG_4477_zps18639db9.jpg I have a lot of work to do on the head and legs yet, not to mentio...

Indeed. I saw your post in one of the monthly painting threads today and thought, "I know that name!" Be careful or Bob will mock you for it, if he finds out.

/blows, sweeps, vacuums, makes other vain attempts to remove dust from thread. Finding this thread was harder than I thought it would be. Glad I found it though because I'm still alive and need a place to post pictures of my renewed painting efforts. I haven't painted much yet, but I've made a good ...

1 Frostheart Phoenix. For real this time.

I failed miserably. I got a base coat of blue on it, but that is it. On to the next pledge thread!

It looks like you are off to a good start with those Lothern Sea Guard. Don't focus too much on how much you have left to paint though. Doing that may deter you (I've not painted in over fourteen months due to this very thing). Keep up the good work and update frequently!

Ok, so I've been procrastinating this for fourteen months now, so I pledge to paint one Frostheart Phoenix.

So we have a high Dark Elf who is battling against the evils of Morgoth with his Master Sword.... I think he is more confused than the rest of us.

the Diver Goblin uses a round 30 mm base. Using a square 25 mm base give a 35 mm max width....

Go for it. OnG can be a lot of fun; as long as you account for Animosity. Don't get too set on any one course of action, stay flexible, and enjoy the ride. If the army is no cost to use, what have you got to lose?

I have the GW large army carrier/briefcase looking thing as well as two army transport bags. I use neither brand. I've magnetized my models and trays so I can stick them to a $1 cookie sheet (from the dollar store) and go. This method doesn't work if you are flying to a tournament, but it sure works...

As one who has a hard time standing for very long (back issues), I absolutely love the "sittability" of the table. I'm also glad to see the filthy gluttons get their flabby butts kicked. Ogres losing is always a good thing.

I'm getting the book and cards even though I don't have a DE army anymore. I figure I can use my HE as proxies if I want to field DE. My group won't mind and reading the book will give me something to do while I wait for my next gaming opportunity to arrive.
