Looks like I didn't forget how to handle a brush

Heya again!

Finally there's something serious and worthy mentioning:

the paint has been slapped on an old plague zombie model. It didn't turn out spectacular BUT at least my Scavvy boss got one more painted gang member.

True - dead, and also true - worth 0 credits but on the other hand it can stagger into the most deadly machine gun fire, take some hits and still spread the plague! 

In fact I am so glad one more deader got painted, that the decission was made to put it on FUUK online painting contest. Don't think it will get much chances but what the hell - zombie doesn't care so why should I? ^^

Hope you like it - the next one is to be painted shortly - deadline for Chest of Colors contest is coming fast!

There's even more!

Mario from Gameforces zine was such a kind dude and sent me the issue with scavvy bunker step-by-step article printed.

It's bit silly but my fat ego has been pimped once again and it feels sooo great =] 

I mentioned Mario about plans of preparing big text about modular gaming board (for which I scavenged more materials during the fucking moving) so lets hope I will be able to bring the whole thing into existence. Especially that one of things I promised myself after passing the appraiser exam was finishing the goddamn table:
playing Necromunda deserves only the very best setting =]

Since were at Necromunda topic another model has just left the painting station.
I've been waiting for this sculpt for a very long time and it made me extremly happy when I got it: alternative version of Scavvy boss (in my opinion this corpse lover looks much more mean than boss included in oldie starter box).
Sadly the paintjob didn't turn out as fine as I was hoping for (I probably shoul have painted some more zombies as a training) but screw this:
I like it and the paintjob fits the rest of re-painted gangers. Besides this guy and his plague zombie sidekick bring total number of painted minis in 2012 to magnificent level of 11! ^^ About 7 more and the whole gang of Scavvies will get new colors - including 2 original, armed with ranged weapons scalies. Sadly there are another 7 waiting for being re-painted.
This should be quite a surprise for my opponent...

And last but not least - last Sunday night we were having quick Call of Cthulhu card game match. We got the base decks some time ago but this year because lack of time for tabletop gaming we got a few boosters so Ancient Evildoers can confront The Good Guys properly.

Never was fan of CCGs but having quick (45-60 mins) card game instead or rolling dices is great change. And on that eerie night worshippers of Cthulhu ate really tasty Syndicate/Miscatonic supper muahahahahahaaa... ^(;,;)^

That's it for now - cheers!

Still nothing...

Yeah, that's it:

I had so many big plans what to do after the graduation but because of my brother's wedding last weekend and (still) moving to new place I barely can find pair of pants, not mentioning the painting stuff.

 Looks like there's no other choice but waiting patiently until the whole mess calms down - I would love to paint anything.

There's one technical announcement though: because the Plinth Country site is to be shut down as soon as possible all tutorials stored there have been moved into the sub-blog. To get there all you need to do is click proper button in the side panel:

Just be warned - the site is still under construction so it will get new look when I get some spare time for the job.

Hope to bring here some minis shortly

Back on the road!!!

I did it!!!
That's right: yesterday I fucking passed the state exam so I am now the real estates appraiser!
Looks like I have to get used to cigars and fancy suits ^^ 
 

What does it mean for the hobby?
I can finally come back to the Underhive, paint some stuff and do lots of stuff I had to drop because of the preparations for the exam!

Right, that's it for now: I'll surely post something hobby related shortly!

Small update

Heya all,

As you can see in the title box this time it's mostly technical update: life issues keep me away from the miniatures once again...

So on the side panel you can see some news: labels cloud and new links pictures. Also I decided to change the main banner: simply couldn't resist not using new display base and some old minis.

As for the old minis - a while ago I started a thread on Lead Adventure Forum about old Warzone models. We want to finally play a game here and nostalgy combined with being-old-fart-ness spawned the idea of such a topic. I know there are people who like classic sculpts but I didn't expect such a feedback! On the other hand when it comes to old and (nearly) forgotten games you can always rely on LAF board =D

Here's small teaser what you can find there...

Brilliant, isn't it?

Whole this Warzone hysteria made me find and start bidding some Dark Legion models for my force - I want them no matter we play a game or not. Painting some old'n'ugly sculpts would be sweet reward for passing the fucking exam finally.

And speaking of painted models - some oldies were also added to my gallery (check Warzone, Warhammer and Warhammer 40K folders). These are mostly pictures copied from my COFC gallery, because I either don't have these miniatures in my possession or the pictures I made were lost (thank you Mahon for saving them!). For the teaser below you can see Zenithian Soulslayer painted for the doctor after successful surgery he performed on me several years ago. Iirc the paintjob was inspired by painting lava tutorial I saw on Jenova (?) site. Cannot believe is was so long ago. Hope he still has the toy ^^

And the last thing: no matter how much shit-stucked I get it can never be SO bad to prevent us from playing a quick game sometimes especially after the success of package run scenario.    

The last evening there was another campaign match in the gaming spot: Scavvies were trying to prevent Orlocks from rescuing the prisioner: I really wanted to keep this fattie: thank to improved strength and toughness it would be just enough to feed my whole gang!

Sadly when it came to dice rollin' it turned out the minimum size raiding squad (4 men strong) was facing a single sentry! I chose Cayman: didn't want to rist loosing more important gang member in 4:1  combat and Cayman has T4, evade skill and the model looks just so nice ^^
Sadly he was no match for the desperated raiders who dealt with him in no time. The alarm was sounded but I managed to bring to the game only one of 3 reinforcement groups - apparently dice god doesn't always work the way I need.

The game was once again ton of fun: all in all there were total 9 models on the table only. It would be even better fun if I managed to keep the prisoner but you cannot have everything I guess.
Below is one of photos I took with my cell - yes, the table is still not finished but I hope posting such horrible pictures will motivate me enough to lock myself in the gaming room with some paints until the battlefield is properly done.
What you can see is the very last moment before Deco decided to bottle out with the released prisoner - lucky bastard didn't allow my scaly to get into melee... ><

That's it for now, deeply hope to bring something more interesting with the next log.

Cheers!

Selling out

Howdy!

This time there's nothing new painted nor sadly played but there are picures anyway. For some reasons I decided to find new home for part of my miniatures and last week Nurgle champion and my old Adeptus Arbites sentinel found new place thank to Evilbay. Really thought it will be harder for me to give sentinel away but apparently it turns out everything is easier when you get old and grumpy. Anyway here they are - hope to take new pics of these before sending them to the buyer. The gallery desperately needs an update.


What else?

I finally managed to write something for the tutorials section - really simple and fast way to build bunker display base I used for taking photos of my Scavvies.
Last week I also found some foliage I was planning to use for jungle or sth similar but the plan has never been executed. My first thought was to throw the whole shit away but then I recalled 2 locations from Fallout 3 game: Oasis and one of vaults overwhelmed by aggressive plants.
I thought such "garden of Eden" would be one solid eye cather on the desert theme table we use: it wouldn't have to be large, just about 12" x 12" space surrounded by walls protecting precious plants from the deadly sun, with lots of pipes arount providing filtered ait, water and the rest of shit required to live. I still have 2 untouched boards so after the exam is passed (sic!) I'll surely give this idea a try.
Anyway - the tut is ready so hit the pic below to be teleported. 

Anything else?

Today we had another Necromunda game: Goliaths vs Van Saars. It was new scenario (Package run) and it was THE fastest game we played ever. At least as long as I remember: whole thing took us only ~40 minutes!
It was very interesting and enjoyable experience and we definitely have to test new scenarios shortly. Important thing is I managed to rip the package off cold hands of Van Saar ganger and get some juicy tous for the boys (flak armour, screamers and grav chute). The next game drawn is Orlocks trying to rescue one of theis gangers captured by Scavvies - and do it before scalies feeding time!!!


Seeya!

PS. Watch out for more models for sale - lots of these are now just getting dust in the hobby case...
