Painting Unto Others: Kevin's Sisters of Battle

I am in a cavalcade of projects right now.  I hate to enumerate, but I think the impact will be greater with the use of bullet points.
  • Continued work on Frontline Gaming projects (right now some Scouts and an Inquisitor)
  • Da Boyz GT prep work, planning, and test games
  • Kevin's Sisters of Battle (on my plate for about a year and a half)
  • John's Titans (on my plate for just over a Year)
  • Continued involvement in the Masters of the Forge Podcast
  • ICs forums
  • Adepticon planning
  • Necron Warriors army (Swamp-themed RustyCrons)
  • Game club involvement
  • All manner of Ork projects (Meganobz, 2x Trukks, Big Mek, Land Raider Battlewagon Rogue Trader Slugga Boyz, Rogue Trader Shoota Boyz, Big Mek with KFF, 2 Warboss, Flash Gitz, Gretchin Tokens, Mek Gunz, Boyz, Deffkoptas, Nobz, Gretchin, and basing improvements for everyone.
  • WAAGH! Tuska army.... I really want to do this army!
  • Diggaz army... allied contingent of Astra Militarum
  • Daughters of the Final Autumn Sisters of Battle project (I have all the models and no time)
  • Several terrain projects
  • Star Trek Attack Wing repaints
  • Blood Bowl
  • Pillar World Zone Mortalis board (half complete)
  • Update Star Eagles to something I'm proud of (far future planning stages)
And with it all, trying very hard to maintain focus on my family, career, and friends.

So, it gives me great pleasure to say that I have been able to move a major item to the "Completed" column of my Kanban board.  This takes a great weight off my shoulders.  I can only hope that I can complete the Titans soon and have the same feeling except magnified.



The more things I cross off, I think the more I will feel free to give other things time.  I want to be more involved in the ICs forums that I am at the moment and I want to devote more time and effort in the podcast.  I'm proud of the work we do, but I feel like I could do better.

For now, I'll have to focus for a bit on my current FLG project, but next week I have the holiday off and will be taking that day to do my hobby prep for Da Boyz GT.  My Biker Boyz need a little TLC and I'm hoping to get some work done on my display board.

Anyways, on to the Sisters!

So, first a little history.  The original Sisters of Battle were an old Blue Table Painting project my buddy picked up on Ebay for a song.  The colors were a bit different back then, but I think I've got it close enough for government work.  The bases were really weird too... they look to be green paint dipped in sand.  That's what I did for the new models, but just because I wanted them to match as much as possible.  See below for a comparison.

The BTP model is on the left and mine is on the right.  Apologies for the over-exposed photos.  My white seems like a blob of white, but I prefer to do a light gray base with a highlight of white.  In person it has far more definition.





I'll have to do a bit of clean-up on the edge highlighting as usual. LOL.

    I'm intrigued! I didn't know you were working on a ZM board. 4X4?

Ordo Draconis Armies on Parade

As I finish up models that have been sitting in my queue, I've been doing army shots including them. Last week, I finished up the knight models I had lying around. The lore for Knight House Draco has advanced in the Era Indomitus. The house's pencheant for daemon fighting has caught the eye of the Ordo Malleus and they have been brought into the fold. Their worlds have been put under communications blackout and household forces sworn to the crusade against the Ruinous Powers. They are now known as the Ordo Draconis and even Greater Daemons tremble at the mere mention of their name. Tiamat Drogon Gojira Melificent Falcor Smaug Jabberwocky Jormungandr The Eye Stalkers

How Did it Come to This? 10,000 Points of Painted Orks

One can only make so many milestone posts before people eventually get soul-crushingly bored of them.  However, I'm going to make an exception here because with my Vengeance Batteries, I've reached a total of 10,000 points painted with my Orks.  These points include reasonable upgrades, but not ridiculous add-ons like Kill Kannons for the Battlewagons.  Let's not be silly . Here's a video of the army.  Unlike the one I did for 7,000, this does not include a running commentary of each unit.  I simply cannot find the time to do that.  However, at the end of the post, please find a complete army list. Please try to view in YouTube instead of this embed because I uploaded it at full resolution and it took me forever.  You won't be disappointed! I started playing this game in 2010 when some friends and I suddenly realized that we finally had grown-up jobs and could actually afford it.  I'd always danced around the idea of collecting Orks either for F

2021 in Review and Looking Forward

Newly-painted models of 2021 Hobby progress was largely successful in 2021 with a huge focus on repainting old Orks into the new scheme.  Album for fully painted models of 2021: https://photos.app.goo.gl/CPwtmvia5UQLguka8 Album for repainted models of 2021:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/WxGgtThxS7M6bdmp6 By the numbers: Points fully painted: 4457 Models fully painted: 132 Points repainted: 5467 Models repainted: 205 Total points: 9924 Total models: 337 After completing all the repaints, I managed to get some army shots of the Orks, which doesn't include the new Megaboss or the Bossbunker, but it's most everything else, about 26,000pts in new money: Morkers Morkers Dreadmob Gorkers Mercenaries and Misc. 2022 For 2022, I have a lot of projects on the burner including more Orks, a Cities of Sigmar project, and Tau. As usual, the Rogue Trader idea keeps percolating and collecting one kit at a time in its little, plastic container. Orks: 9x Killa Kans 3x Deffkoptas (also need to rebase
