2013 Tournamet has passed away with a Blast

Hello, last Saturday was our tournament, It was a complete success, with 7 hours of packed warhammer action, the clear winner were the tyranid army but a challenge was issue and the Ork army nanged to snatch the prize and get the half part of the prize (some gretchings) and enabling the highest space marines to snatch the other half. a fun day to be had.  since we had a raffle and in the end I got the price now I have the resources to do another tournament  in a few days.


I left the pictures after the break:

Initial clashes at PL3-40

My revered master I bring you dire news…
we received reports from  different patrols that on 20120218  some forces  converged at pl3-40 a recently rediscovered planet with valuable resources and at the same time very apt to sustain life, so apt that when the first Space marine landed they found a recently hatched menace from the Tyranids, since no further reports where received a nearby Ultramarine frigate let an small patrol drop on different coordinates soon after that news of heavy fighting against Orks reached the frigate so a new temporary base was setup, while the base was being set up, reports of two more frigates came in one from the blood angels and the other from another chapter that didn’t broadcasted its Id codes, since the first concern was to protect the base from a tyranid infestation the reports wasn’t followed trough, only time will tell if that was a wise decision but already the astropath is warning of dire consequences because of that.
from radio chatter received it has been gleaned that the Blood Angels encountered some kind of alien menace not related to the Tyranids, but little of who was heard, so far the Ultramarine base is setting a nice base to protect the incoming colonizers that the adeptus administratum should be getting ready to send any year now.
So far everything is calm but we suspect that is but the prelude to something more sinister, we already hear that some vile eldar are in the vicinity of the system, and my fears are that as soon as we can send on obit skull probe we might find evidence of more forces preparing to make a stand on that planet, we hope to have an elaborated map for the next meting my lord.
No I depart until that fateful time comes my liege.

Showtime weekend

This weekend I was invited to the IPMS (our country plastic modelers assoc.) convention  by one of the sponsors of the event to help show hellboy’s and my minis how cool warhammer is to the public.

Overall is the first time my minis get that much light and is gratifying to hear good compliments on my minis.

I got invited by the association to participate next November that pleases me a lot and will work on one or two models to my best.

here are some pictures on how my minis were displayed.

finally I have some Vallejo paints at hand I will get some as my GW ones deplete and here are some pictures of the conventions participating models

Life goes on

Ok, after my heart broke with the the chipping paint on my TAU minis, I have done a lot of work in real life, and so little work on my hobby one.

Currently I'm learning how to paint power weapons in a new easy to use way, I found about at YouTube at Catafish channel, is just a lot to like, I used a variant for the color because I really wanted that my weapons used a color that Is more compatible, so instead of using blue hues I choose red ones, for those interested here are some pictures so you can decide if it is worth a try.

 

btw definitely is way better not to  use the flash when using close up (middle pic).

A Picture post
