Here is the list (more or less I think I edited it some towards the end) I took at War Games Con.  It served me well! I had 4 wins and going into day 2 I was on Table 11.  That would have probably gone well for me, if I had shown up to play […]

That’s right! In one week, August 25th, I will select another blog follower at random to win this box of brand new Bloodcrushers of Khorne. Obviously friends and family of myself are excluded from winning, sorry getting close to me has drawbacks lol. Well that’s it. So spread the word and if you haven’t signed […]

Here are some more impressive armies from War Games Con 2010.  I was very impressed by the depth of converted and expertly painted armies there.  From Space Wolves to Tyranids, almost every faction was well represented. Well that is all I have space for in this run. Ill post up some more, including a special […]

We’re starting a 40k Campaign this Wednesday at FTW Games, and I thought it would be awesome to revisit the old Vogen system.  I lucked out and still had the old PDFs of the campaign.  So I converted them over to the 5th edition rules set for everyone to use!If you decide to run the […]

This awesome conversion is from isotope99 over on the BoLS Lounge.  I was REALLY impressed with it so I thought I’d share.  isotope99: “The last of my four greater daemons is the Nurgle special character Ku’Gath. It says in the codex that he takes his laboratory with him and rides in a planquin. I updated […]

Another question I get a lot is how do I take my pictures? Well it’s actually pretty easy. In the past I used a light box, but found that a lot of times the models I would need pictures of ended up being too big for the box itself.  So I ended up reversing the […]

Hey guys. I need a little bit of HTML help with the blog script. If you happen to have HTML skillz and want to let a hand in return for some free toy soldiers, drop me a line. ThanksMBG

Here is more War Games Con coverage, but this time of my Looted Guard Army during the Team Touney.  This comes courtesy of Tastey Taste over at Blood of Kittens. Funny you can’t hear what I’m saying back. 😛 @ Tastey- MBG

Check out this fantastic Daemon Prince Conversion by Brass Scorpion.  He used bits from the new Plastic Daemon Prince, Chaos Spawn, Defiler, and more. Below are some great shots of this guy painted up. Would you believe that he painted the whole model in just a few days?

Well it took me long enough (sorry Chris) but here is a great looking Tyranid Army by Chris Showers.  I played against this army at Cabin Fever ’10 GT in Harrisburg, PA, and I was floored by the looks it. What makes this army even better is the fact that those Hive Guards were painted […]

Recently I had a few requests for some articles that focused more on some of the basic hobby techniques I use, and I thought this was a great idea. I would always get fired up myself when I was reading a painting magazine and they would just skim over a crucial step for something I […]

Hey guys. Here’s some of the armies from the Team Tournament at War Games Con. Me and TPM Blood Angel got fifth overall, after being beat on table one. 🙁 Anyways there was a ton of great looking armies at this event, so check them out! Well that’s it, more coverage to come soon! (yes […]

Obviously friends […]

Yup our next Miniature Market will be on Sept. 4th at 11am. It also happens to be the same day the new Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition Box Sets go on sale. So there is two great reasons to come up (well three if you count swapping out your High Elves or Skaven models for even […]

That’s right! I won the category for best Fantasy Monster, and Best Scratch Built Miniature at War Games Con (formerly BoLS Con) this weekend with my Lash Prince of Slaanesh.  Here are some pics of him in case you missed him earlier in the year. Slaaneshi yes? -MBG

Here’s a quick look at the base I used for my Warhound titan.  I kinda cheated and just took a Masonite stand I had cut out and sanded down years before, and pinned the Titan down to it for extra stability.  I used both a sharpie pen, and some back paint to “dot” the end […]
