Wargaming Blogs of Note: Russian

I'm 'working' on my Terrible Tuesday article right now, but the words aren't coming too quickly - with that, came the procrastination, then the poking around the internet...

...then stumbling upon a gem of a blog in Russia!  Check it out.

And she started painting in 2009.  *sigh*  Here's some of the work...



'Nuff said.

The Tallyman of Nurgle, Finished!

I've been working on a commission for the Tim That Can, and of course painting character models is both the best and worst part.  Best, 'cause it's fun; worst, 'cause it has to be done right.  If things aren't going well, one can invest a ton of time into one model.

This one went pretty well, at least from where I'm sitting.

Still Hunting the Escaped Muse...

...but in the meantime, I actually play some games.



I played Sam's Legion warband with my new Circle force.  Unfortunately, things went a bit downhill after this picture, but I'm learning!


This a week ago this past Saturday, I met a dude named Spencer, a recent transplant to my North Texas next of the woods - from a much cooler city.  Anyway, I invited him to the local store, Galaxy Books and Comics, for a game.  I brought Footdar, mostly because it's a painted army.


The Dreadknight deep strikes from behind...


...while the Terminators advance.


I won't go into the game too much - I didn't take enough pictures for that - but it was a good game, with the advantage seemingly locked up for the Grey Knights with the arrival of the Storm Talon and Paladins.


I really should have taken more damage than I did during Spencer's shooting.  He wasn't that familiar with the Eldar, so spend maybe a bit too much shooting at Elle-drag's Seers, who naturally had Fortune.





And so the game ends dramatically, with the last two Paladins fighting it out with the Avatar and Elle-drag.

Fun to be had by all!

...but my muse is still missing.  More on that to come.

Oh, But Where the Muse has Flown!

I was actually surprised when Little Barrera mentioned it's been over a month since I've posted here.  Seriously - I would have said maybe three weeks.

So what's up with that?

Life.  Work.  The holidays.  My annual relaxation from the weekly BoLS schedule.  But it's more than that...

...frankly, I've been bored!

Sadly, my muse has flown.  So I went looking for him.







I couldn't find my muse anywhere.  In fact, it got worse - I tore open the rest of my room, just making a  mess of things!




...er... tilt your head to the left?

Then I looked on Call of Duty Black Ops... for quite a few weeks...

Maybe in here?

Hell ya!  It's time from a change for a bit!

I'm not quite done, but I had to relearn some basics again for this one.  Stupid airbrush - once you get used to it, what happens when it's down?


Okay, I got this figured out...
