Blaun, Tawrdraig of the Brythoniaid

Ryan hasn't painted anything in a while! Well, he has, but hasn't had time to post it. Here's his second attempt at Glaun, Tawrdraig of the Brythoniaid. Except he's blue, not green, this time around.

We'll go from primed to 90% painted, after the jump...

 

The Alamo GT 2013 - Painting Contest

Part II of my Alamo Coverage is going to focus on the individual paint contest entries. The winners are in order, but all the other category entries are listed in the order I took photos of them, not the order they finished in the contest.

As always, more after the jump...

The Alamo GT 2013: Army Parade

Well, this past weekend was the Alamo GT here in San Antonio. I got the privilege of doing the paint judging, with an adorable assistant who made a cameo Sunday morning. Follow the jump for the gorgeous armies that were set up on Sunday morning. If your army isn't here, I apologize; I only took shots of the ones that were set up for viewing on Sunday morning.

Grandalf the not-so-alliterative

It's been a few weeks since my last post, not because I've not been doing stuff, but because this time of year gets very busy for me and I haven't made the time to update. The Alamo GT is this weekend, and I've been reviewing lists, working out finer scenario details, and preparing my body for a week of epic drinking. I've also been helping a friend play test lizard men for the event, and I convinced him that he needed a pair of Skink Priests with Beasts. Unfortunately I only had one prepared, so I grabbed a skink, some bits, and a concept!

I decided to sculpt him a wizard hat, to make it obvious he wasn't just a skink, and then for good measure added an obviously fake beard out of my leftover green stuff. I used a Skaven Plague monk bit to be a dispel scroll, and then added green stuff to a javelin to turn it into a staff.

I also stood him on a rock, because I've been doing a ton of Mierce stuff lately and standing on a rock is a recurring joke.

Painting remains, and the Alamo is just a few days away!!

Getting a sense of scale!

"How big is that?" It's the second most common question I get about Darklands. Well, it depends on the model! I've been asked it so many times, though, that I figured I'd just cut to the chase and take a bunch of photos of Darklands models standing next to other models.

Darklands initial battle report

So a few days ago, I sat down to play a serious game of Darklands, paying attention to the rules very carefully, and taking careful note of what went on so I could share it all. The results are below the jump.

Review/assembly: Krull, Servile Lord of Dis

After a week of rest and relaxation in which I didn't do a dang thing modeling-wise, I decided to jump back in with both feet. Following the jump, we'll review the most iconic Darklands model ever, Krull: servile Lord of Dis. Shall we see how awesome this thing is?

Finished Showcase: Cawrdraig

WAMP has accepted the Brythoniaid Cawrdraig collage, so that means I can share these photos with you! 

More on these bad boys, after the cut...

WiP: Tanfrwydr Mawr

Ten days since my last WiP, and there's one more Cawrdraig left on my desk to work on. This is the last one that will have the purple skintone, so let's see what I can do with it!
After the break: from start, to finish...
