Welcome

Update 12/5/13

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. I've finally emerged from my turkey-induced coma and put together an update. The Commisions section is fairly busy right now with a lot of conversion work. I've got some Red Hunters Terminators that are ready for primer. I'm also working on a bunch of Dark Angels that need a bit more work before they're ready for paint.

Past Updates

Update 11/20/13
Do you guys smell bacon? That's because the Warboss on a Cyboar is DONE in the Commissions section. Bad joke, I know, but whatcha gonna do... I get a little punchy going into the holidays :)

Update 11/13/13
Something large, smelly, and unacceptable in polite company is under construction in the Commissions section. Have a look at the Snakebite Warboss on a Cyboar being built. If you thought Orks were crude before... get a load of this guy!

Update 11/11/13
I've put the last touches on the Raven Guard in the Commissions section. They're ready to go out the door!

Update 11/8/13
Wow! Quite the productive week around here. Amazing what you can get done when the rest of your life behaves itself for a little while and allows you to work. I've finshed up the Terminators for the Raven Guard in the Commissions section. All I need to do is clearcoat these guys, add some static grass, and they're ready to ship.

Update 11/6/13
Hot on the heels of the Ironclad Dreadnought, I've now added a finished Landraider for to the ranks of the Raven Guard in the Commissions section. Terminators are coming soon.

Update 11/5/13
I've finished painting the Ironclad Dreadnought for the Raven Guard in the Commissions section. Up next will be a Landraider and some Terminators.

Update 10/31/13
Happy Halloween!! I'm making good progress on the Raven Guard in the Commissions section. I've finished off the Drop Pods and I'm now assembling an Ironclad Dreadnought, as well as refurbishing a Landraider and a squad of Terminators. My Mekshop is also seeing some activity, in the form of Chief Librarian Tigurius of the Ultramarines.

Update 10/28/13
Last week, my friend and fellow gamer, Erich Hasstedt, passed away. Erich was a great guy with a dry sense of humor and a quick wit... and he was one hell of an opponent across a gaming table.

You can see some of the clashes between my Orks and Erich's Ultramarines in the Battle Reports section. In honor of Erich's memory, I am dedicating my current Ultramarines project to him. Farewell, buddy. May the wind be always at your back. :(

Update 10/15/13
The Dark Angels Nephilim Jetfighter in the Commissions section. I'm also working feverishly on the Raven Guard Drop Pods, but I don't have any pictures of them at the moment.

Since my own Mekshop has been pretty quiet for a while, I've decided to do something about that. The gang over on Warseer are doing another Tale of 40k Painters thread, which some of you long-time readers may remember from back in 2009 when I painted my Crimson Fists. Well, I'm taking the plunge again this year, painting up an army of Ultramarines in a classical 2nd edition style.

Update 10/8/13
I've finished up the primary painting on the Dark Angels Nephilim Jetfighter in the Commissions section.

Update 10/2/13
I'm laying down the primer coats on the Dark Angels Nephilim Jetfighter as well as some Raven Guard Drop Pods in the Commissions section.

Update 9/30/13
I'm experimenting with a new telescoping flight stand for the Dark Angels Nephilim Jetfighter in the Commissions section. The stand is made by CorSec Engineering and it's pretty cool.

Update 9/19/13
Now that the Grot Artillery are in the mail to the customer, I'll be working on some Space Marines for a while. First up is a Nephilim Jetfighter for the Dark Angels in the Commissions section. There will also be some Raven Guard coming down the pipeline soon. Looks like a lot of black and white in my future :)

Update 9/17/13
Bag it and tag it! The Grot Artillery in the Commissions section and finally finished. They were definitely a time consuming project, but I'm really happy with how they turned out.

Update 9/13/13
A quick update on the Grot Artillery in the Commissions section. Another 10 grots and the Slavers are in the bag... just 10 more of the little runts to go.

Update 9/3/13
I've got the first round of crew painted up for the Grot Artillery in the Commissions section. 10 grots down. 20 more (and a couple of Ork Slavers) to go.

Update 8/22/13
I've finished painting the gun platforms for the Grot Artillery in the Commissions section. Now to get working on the grot crews.

Update 8/15/13
I've started to paint the Grot Artillery in the Commissions section. It's just the metallics and blocking in the colored armor panels, but you can see where I'm headed with the paint scheme.

Update 8/7/13
Well, it's been a couple weeks since "The Great Finger Slash of 2013" and things have healed up nicely. I've also finished all the assembly and conversion work on the Grot Artillery in the Commissions section.

Wow! That was a ton plasticard work. Guess now I have to paint these things :)

Update 7/25/13
Ouch! Well gang, I've spent the last week or so with my index finger wrapped in a bandage. When people tell you to cut away from yourself, and not toward...

... LISTEN TO THEM!!!!

At any rate, I've finished the tracked chassis and the Zzap Gunz for the Grot Artillery in the Commissions section. Just the gun mounts, Kannons, and Lobbas left to do...

... as well as 30+ grots. Whew!

Update 7/16/13
I've finished the prototype, including all the magnetized weapons, for the Grot Artillery in the Commissions section. Now I just need to build 5 more!

Update 7/11/13
Bring the rain! The Grot Artillery are taking shape in the Commissions section. Plenty of detail work to be done on them, but the basic design is pretty much there.

Update 7/2/13
I've got the painting all finished up on a Deathwing Librarian for the Dark Angels over in the Commissions section. Up next will be some crazy grot conversions for a commission.

Update 6/27/13
Whew! 3 weeks between updates?! You folks must be thinking I got hit by a bus or something...

Well, not quite. The kids are out on summer break, which means the first few weeks of June are spent on family vacations, swimming, and generally enjoying the lack of homework. Now that things have settled into more of a routine, it's time to get down to business.

Though there haven't been any updates, I haven't been a total slacker over the last few weeks. I did manage to paint up 10 Deathwing Terminators for the Dark Angels over in the Commissions section. I'm still working on my write-up of The Kalm. I've got a few thoughts on how things went, and I'm trying to get them down straight before I put them up on the site.

Update 6/4/13
I've finally put the finishing touches on the Nobs for for the Ork Bikers in the Commissions section. And here I thought the regular Ork Bikers were fiddly... those Nobs took way longer than I thought they would.

Update 5/22/13
I've finally ironed out the problem with my digital camera...

... by buying a new one. :) I'm still working on the write up for The Kalm, but I have finished the regular mob of Ork Bikers in the Commissions section, up next will be the Nobs.
