Each year at Call to Arms we like to put on a cool game.
I am running the convention again this year - at St Pats college on the 30th and 31st of August - warlords.org.nz has the details.
I am not into competitions much anymore, and especially over 2 days, and when running it I need to be available.
Read MoreAs mentioned in the last post, I decided to go to Adepticon this year with a friend.
We had our flights sorted and planned to fly over on the monday and were meant to be in Milwaukee midnight on the monday (US time), with a brief layover in Houston.
that would give us the full Tuesday to get acclimatised, sort out the time zones and look around the area. And then fly back on the Monday following, with another brief layout in Houston, getting back home Wednesday NZ time.
Read MoreI am still playing Kill team as one of my regular games.
We have a league running in Wellington and while i am never going to trouble the top 3, its fun to play and let others be super competitive.
I am using my Wreckas for the last league (league 1 i used the kasrkin and that was not fun), and so need to paint them.
Read MoreContinuing posts from the past, as I catchup.
So John and I decided to go to Adepticon this year.
I have not travelled since 2015 so this was going to be new on a few levels.
Read MoreThe club was invited to go to Armageddon and play some games and promote us.
Thanks to Phil Wu from Auckland club for giving our name to them.
It was a challenge to get people to go as it was Easter (and arranging it while planning to be out of the country did not help) but i was able to get 1 game on the friday, 1 on the saturday and I went on the sunday.
Read MoreIt’s amazing how time flies when you get busy and forget to update anything.
The last few months have been very busy with work and getting ready to go to Adepticon.
The club has sort of been getting into spearhead.
Read MoreJust two models finished this week.
I’m working on a few projects and should have a spearhead painted soon but for now just finishing off a few projects.
Read MoreI finished the Tyger claw models in 2024 but finally did the bases recently.
I had been chopping up bases we had made back in the Ironhalo days, in order to fit the Cyberpunk bases. To save time on this i made my own to fit those bases and cast them.
Read MoreA bunch of photos of models I finished over Christmas and early this year.
I’m enjoying painting a range of models still, slowly chipping away at my Spacemarine army, clearing my crooked dice stuff and adding models to my stargrave crew.
Read MoreHere is the 2024 review of what i have painted, and some comparisons to previous years.
I had a good painting year in 2024, got a bunch of stuff done, despite it also being one of the busiest years for work.
Read MoreMy group at Warlords has started our new Stargrave campaign. This is our third campaign in Stargrave. the first one was a free for all with people taking whatever models they wanted (we had a mix of star wars and cyberpunk models), the 2nd one we themed it to 40K and had 2 inquisition warbands, an ork warband and a votann one.
Read MoreIve been able to paint a bunch in recent weeks, and also went back and based some already painted models.
Read MoreI have been painting my guild models for Carnevale for a while now, and as of today i have finished all of them. There are more releases coming so I will be getting them as well, but for now I am finished.
Read MoreAs part of playing Kill Team, i have been buying all the expansions, and this means a backlog of terrain.
I thought this would be a simple set to paint, but i made it complicated.
Read MoreIm working on a few things, its school holidays so my kids are home and i am able to do some hobby while they are playing.
I am 90% done on my Beta Decima terrain, and have done a few more Tygerclaws for Cyberpunk Red.
Read MoreI am still catching up on my backlog and enjoying painting a lot.
now that i have my camera settings working i am getting good photos sorted (well better photos), and am now taking photos of my backlog and fixing up the galleries.
Read MoreAs part of trying to write more articles for work, and more that i have finally worked out how to use my camera, i wanted to get back on here, add more photos and keep things going.
Read MoreIm running my first kill team tournament, players pack is here
This year my club (Wellington Warlords) is going to run a Kill Team Campaign, and so we have resurrected our old campaign that we ran from 3rd edition until it petered out in 5th or so.
It was not a campaign in the sense that we had maps etc, although occasionally we did map campaigns. But more that we used stories to link the battles. The armies in our area knew each other and the characters became larger than life, with feuds and backstory over many many games.
Read MoreI like to keep track of my painting efforts for the year. being in sales it’s a core maxim that that which is measured is managed. I got this idea from watching Ash Barker of Guerilla Miniature games but he has since stopped doing it.
