Hello there, sorry for not posting anything for a long time(I was busy playing Mass Effect 3, but now I can return back to the living). As a way of making this up to you I post rumored list of new GW paints(list is taken from MWC, so kudos to them). Before we get to this list, a quick update on my plans. Last week I played my first two games of Infinity so later this week you may expect few thoughts about this awesome game. And now the list:

TEXTURE
Mourn Mountain snow

Blackfire Eath
Astrogranite
Armageddon Dust
Lustrian Undergrowth

TECHNICAL
Lahmian Medium
Ard coat
Imperial Primer
Liquid Green stuff

For me, this looks promising, changing to the shade/base/layer format seems like a good idea. I only hope that they won't reduce amount of paint i the pot and/or rise price per pot. Getting rid of the crappy flip-top pots would be nice. Since I used Vallejo paints I love bottles instead of pots, also I hope that GW will finally make better bronze/brass/gold metallics(well I have't found any good metallics in this colours, anyone?).

Cheers

Army Infinity v.3.0. - http://www.devilteam.com

This I hope to master and crush my enemies with. It's a wild guess on what I would need on the battlefield(I hope that my choicesw are correct, if not I'll have to adjust). If everything goes ok, next month this list will be ready and I'll start the field tests. Until know, since I don't have everything I need I'll try to catch few games to learn the rules and to learn how to wield my JSA properly. That's it for now, I leave you with the pictures promised on the beginning of the post. If any of you have any thoughts on this, please, don't hesitate to comment.

Painting white is hard. This is my first try.
Hopefully second Aragoto will turn out better than this one.

Hobby Project: March Update #1

Look what the cat dragged in , Nevermind the date its way off.
Yeah, yeah.. I know, I should be posting those lists that I effed up yesterday. But today I have something more interesting that my lousy army lists(they will return tomorrow). I bought some new stuff. Today few models found shelter on my painting desk. A Japanese Sectorial Army starter, Aragoto box and a Keikotsu with ML. I planned to buy two starter sets but my LGS was short on ALEPH starters(so I decided that I'll buy more models for the JSA instead). I returned home with a big smile on my face and imediately started to unpack my new minis. They are as nice in person as they are on the pictures but when I assembled them I cursed my large bulky fingers and small parts of the models(like Aragoto handlebars). To put together an Oniwaban was a little nightmare as well(pinning them to be precise).

Little dark, sorry :P, Also base is WIP
Other than me, killing my wallet, I painted a new mini for Warmachine. It's a Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator! I love this little bugger, and painting him was a lot of fun(while it lasted, which wasn't very low). I chose a classic scheme with black hat and light brow coat. I'm really proud of him. Those WM/H stuff is very, very cool. I'll be getting a Winterguard UA(Standard and Officer), they'll be at my door later this week. I tried to get Widowmakers but they didn't have them.

And last, but not least, this weekend I attended a WFB Torunament(it's called Bazyliszek). It was a 2400pts ETC Format tournament with 120+ attendees. Also, it was my first tournament since 6th edition of the WFB. We played 5 games over 2 days. I played Dwarfs(their army list will be posted tomorrow).  My opponents were, in this order: Skaven(they crushed me 0:20), Skaven(the same, 0:20), Warriors of Chaos(this time i was victorious, 18:2), Dark Elves(a victory!, 17:3) and Skaven(this was supposed to be a victory, but due to my mistake it was a draw, 10:10). I was 91th overall(thanks to lack of experience and borrowed minis). It's not very impressive position but i think that is not bad for a total tournament noob(well I have played six games of 8th ed total).


That is all for today. I hope you found my ramblings interesting, and my english, didn't make you bleed through your eyes.

Cheers

Hobby Project: Vulkan, Vindicare and Sorcha

Over last few weeks, i was bored. I've got a break at my university so i sat at my desk and painted few things. So without further ado:

Vulkan He'stan

Wow, this model is so cool! I love it! Painting it was a real challenge due to the number of details and intricate armour. I painted it for my friends Salamanders army, and as a practice. I'm very fond of it. Sorry for the blurry picture, when i'm back from my in-laws i'll try to get a better picture and switch it. I love the idea of lava base always wanted to try one. Lava was made of green sutff and the rock is a wine bottle cork. 




Vindicare Assassin

This Vindicare I found in my bits box. I love this model. In my opinnion its one of the best modes GW has ever made. I know, that, this is another blurry picutre :( I wasn't aware of this until i added it to the picassa gallery. I must also work on the background.







Forward Commander Sorscha Kratikoff(or eSorscha)

Although my 2400p WFB Dwarf army isn't finished, i grew bored of painting little, bearded madmen.(lets face it, plastic 7th ed dwarfs are not the best of GW miniatures). So i starded reading about WarmaHordes(or HoMachine as Frontline Gamers says :D) and decided to make little force of Warmachine for me. I chose Khador because of their cool Imperial, Tzar's Russia theme, but i thought tha it will be cool if i paint them like the Red Army. Here is my first attempt to do so. Sorscha is a lovely model, and i tried my best. I'm pretty much happy with how it turned out.

Coming up next are: Kovnik Joseph Grigorovich(WM/H), Imperial Inquisitor(40k) and some dwarfs(or dwarves, who knows?) And later this month some Infinity models(well maybe i'll make a review).

Cheers
