Specialist Games

Jervis?

Orc Blitzers.  Painted 2009...I think.

Plastic Lineman from the fourth edition boxed game.  Painted right before or after the Blitzers.

In the grim darkness of the 1990s there was only drybrushing.

More than 10 years separate these paint jobs.

GenCon 2010

I just got back from Gen Con 2010. I haven't been since 1998. It was big fun. I did well in all the events I entered and will most likely be heading down next year. The following is a summary of the events I took part in and how I placed:

• Malifaux 30 Soulstone tournament. First Place with Perdita led Guild. 24 points.
  
• Malifaux 35 Soulstone tournament. Third Place with Perdita led Guild. 20 points.
  
• Gen Con Bowl Bloodbowl tournament. Best Painted with Lizardmen. 2 wins 2 losses.
  
• Gen Con Miniature Painting Competition. First Place in the Wyrd Miniatures single figure category with Francisco Ortega.

I can't say enough good things about this con. Big thanks to Wyrd Miniatures for running events and to Majortusk for organizing Gen Con Bowl.

As an aside, if you want to spend too much on dinner, I highly recommend St. Elmo's Steakhouse. They've been open since 1902 and know a thing or three about how it should be done.

First!

I'm mostly here because http://greenstuffandbrass.blogspot.com/ is running a contest. They have really nice things. I recently picked up their fire pit set which I plan to use for some Malifaux scenery. Malifaux is rad. Apparently the movie Rad has not been released since 1986. Laserdisc what.

If you're still reading this you might want to start looking for a life. From here on in, it's going to be nerd city.

In three weeks I will be done with this semester. I will have an inordinate amount of time on my hands. Time that I will use to paint toy soldiers. I am going to start with the Guild from Malifaux. After that I will be working on a Dwarf team for Blood Bowl. After that I will be working on a lot of English Civil War business. http://www.warlordgames.co.uk/ has really nice things. See their Pike & Shotte collection. Guild, Dwarves, Royalists. Plan subject to change.
