So I’ve been saving this bit of coverage from Feast of Blades for last (but certainly not least).  You see, there was no painting award on the Feast of Blades Invitational side. Instead there was players choice, and it went to Mike Haspil for his amazing Knights of Titan army. Mike had been working hard on this […]

So Jkin started up a Space Marines Scout recon army for our 500 point Flash League at the shop. One of the centerpieces of the army is this scout insertion speeder, a’la Black Hawk down. He converted this vehicle up to represent the it’s ability to transport scouts into position, and have something characterful in […]

Welcome to Army of One, where I display a great looking painted model from stuff I’ve done or amazing figures I’ve seen around. If you click on the Army of One label you’ll be able to scroll through some great looking figures, all at once. Today we take a look at an award winning Thunder Hammer Ultramarine […]

Today I have a two-fer, an article on Grey Knights and Goat Boy all in one. MIND BLOWN! Yup its true, Thomas placed third at Feast of Blades over the weekend (not second like I said on Monday). What do I know anyways, lol? Jump below for his Army list and Pics! After the event I went up […]

Every good thing must come to an end, and now as I sit writing this in my hotel room I can’t help but wish I had played this weekend. My ATC teammates Nick Rose, Thomas Reidy, and Kenny Boucher took first, second, and third respectively in the invitational, and I would have really welcomed a […]

Welcome to Armies on Parade, where I display (in hopefully good detail) some great looking armies from major tournaments all across the United States. If you click on the Armies on Parade label you’ll be able to scroll through some great looking armies, all at once. It’s like you were at a major event yourself, all from […]

Around the shop were starting up a little escalation league of sorts, themed around what else but the NECRONS. (good timing eh?) I thought I’d get on here and post up how we’re running it, so maybe the fever will spread, and inspire other clubs or stores to run their own flash leagues as well.So here’s how it works…. […]

Welcome to a guest post by TerranRaida. I asked him to do little how to article on his painted Shadewarith, and as you’ll read he begrudgingly obliged me due to mostly to bribes. You can catch up with this Master of the English Language over on his blog C.R.E.A.M (Change Rules Everything Around Me). So MBG asked me to write an article as […]

Check out this amazing Siege of Terra Mega-Diorama from Adepticon 2011. What ever club was responsible for building, heck even taking on such an ambitious project should pat themselves on the back, as this rocks. This board definitely ranks up there with some of the most spectacular hobby displays I have ever seen. Let’s take a closer look, as I attempt to […]

Around the shop, it always seem to come up about which primer I use, and why. So today I figured I’d talk about it a bit, and see what you all think. First off I just want to say never ever use that crap from Wal Mart.Krylon is okay sometimes but that is about it. […]

Well it’s Halloween so I wanted to show off this spooky crazy Steam Punk Transport. YepImadork made this to carry around Ramos and his crew for games of Malifaux, and it’s a pretty sweet conversion! Jump below for a closer look. The conversion itself is pretty basic, but it’s just done and themed very well, […]

As I write this parts are drying to feverishly made repairs to my Stormtrooper armor. You see I was a big dummy, and left the armor in the store window for the summer, and well it took some direct hits from UV. Apparently its pretty hard to get out UV damage from molded PVC plastic, so […]

My buddy Beef (hold the cheddar) stopped by the other day with a new WIP, a Ravenguard Dakka Dreadnought. He converted this puppy up good, with a bunch of solid true scale aspects, heck you can’t even tell those are sentinel legs till you see it from behind. The model kinda almost reminds me of […]

A little while ago I did a tutorial on my Pre-Heresy Iron Fists Army, but I left one model out- my Librarian. Today we’re going to take a look how I made him, and how you can make your own (as there is no model for the Power Armor Librarian right now- sad pandas) Back in the […]

The other day I was cutting up some bits, and a sweet conversion idea hit me outta the blue. Come see the custode conversion that appeared out of thin air.

Here is another custom FRAG! conversion from YepImadork. This guy’s definitely got some character, eh?  I for one have no idea how he opens doors, unless he just saws them in half, lol.  Jump below the fold for all the details. So for those of you not familiar with it there is an old board game out […]

Well Jkin has been at it again. He’s taking a small break from his Thousand Sons army and working on something new. Now instead of making some Astartes look noble,  he’s afflicting a their vehicles with Nurgle’s Rot. I’m sold, because boy does it look good so far! He’s gone to town on this thing, […]
