Bloody Dice: January 2014

Work on the Minotaur army painting continues. I have now finished most of the airbrush stages. Bronze coat through to Silver/Gold zenithal highlights have been applied and now I am working on getting the idiosyncratic Bronze back by applying a number of washes.

Back again for another week, and this time I'm going to look that I haven't used yet, but after looking at the rules I think I may be fielding very soon (as long as the boss approves of the purchase(Martok - For once this isn't me but SWMBO)), the Blighted Nyss Scather Crew.

Although I was hoping to get paint started yesterday I underestimated the amount of fiddly finishing touches that were still needed. I also totally forgot I needed a Librarian.. luckily I had the parts on hand to build the guy above. However, I am now at the point to start painting the infantry although I shall have to do the weapons later when I have finished up the hammers that can be seen below.

I have booked the next week off of work so I can have a geek holiday. I have rearranged the office to make it easier to mess with multiple tasks at the same time and with this I am hoping to make some really significant progress on my Minotaur army.

Today we present a tutorial from my friend Joel over at PaintMyBits. He shall be showing us the steps that he takes to paint and weather his bases. Please keep in mind that these tutorials are intended to be easy access for all painters and they are not pro tips, so have a go!. Over to him:

Another week and another article (this is turning into a habit) covering another member of the Legion of Everblight. This week I'm looking at my favourite 1 point solo, no list seems right without, the Blighted Nyss Shepherd.

I am trying to get this batch of Blood Angels done and dusted before starting to throw paint on the Minotaurs. I have all the airbrush stages done now with a satin varnish on to protect it. Next up I shall block out the non red areas then base coats for metallics etc and finally start the oil washes.

I'm back again for another installment in the review series, continuing the Legion of Everblight theme (surprise surprise) and this week I've decided to look at another solo, a solo I find very useful and can be a great option to surprise your opponent, the Spell Martyr.

I finally cracked open the Centurion box to build the unit for my Minotaur army. It appears the kit was designed to fit specific poses very well but this does not lead to easy reposing.

Last year myself and a number of friends from Promethean Games went to Bristol to join the Vanguard clubs annual Vanquish tournament. We had such an awesome time playing on their beautifully made tables that we were itching for them to announce Vanquish 2014. Finally, they have released the rules pack that can be seen here.

Its already week 2 of the new year (I'm still trying to work out what happened to Christmas) and I'm keeping pace with the series (Martok can be a bit scary at times, for a Princess(I am both beautiful and wrathful this is true), this week, to follow on from last week I'm looking at the Warmonger War Chief.

This is a solo I really enjoy using (a surprise after my Warmonger article I'm sure) and I will explain why after the jump.

The unit is finally ready for paint. The hammers and shields will be finished alongside all the other weapons in the army (bolters etc) at a later date.

A belated Happy New Year from all of us at BloodyDice!

2014 looks to be an exciting one, with Tyranids just around the corner and then goodness knows what else, it sure sounds like it'll be a great year for hobbyists. I for one am looking forward to getting a few of my current projects done and (naturally) starting a few new ones.

Have you made any hobby-related resolutions for 2014?

What are you looking forward to the most this year?

Hey guys, I'm back. It's a new year and time to make sure that the momentum isn't lost, so I'm going to jump straight into continuing the Legion of Everblight unit reviews.

We're going to start the year with a unit that is one of the most dominating on the tabletop, Blighted Ogrun Warmongers.
