The wife's tyranids, in all their gory glory


  So is it true, all women players play Nids?  It sure seems like it sometimes.  So, yes, my wife is into playing the game, and she plays nids.  She is still learning how to use them effectively, but she's trying, and that's all that counts!

  What follows is shots of her bugs in their gory glory.  The bases are not done, but the figs look great.  Enjoy!  I'll let her comment if she so chooses...

Tablescapes (Secret Weapon Minis) Kickstarter is UP!



  Just a quick note to let everyone know that the kick starter is up for the Secret Weapon Miniatures Tablescapes boards.

  The link, direct to the kickstarter is here.

  If you don't know, these are some great boards made by SWM.  They are 12" x 12" and will fit together modularly (Is that a word?)  Anyhow, they'll butt up together in all kinds of configurations.  The first version is for the scrap yard sets, a good choice since it is relatively generic and can represent any kind of modern through Sci-Fi setting.


  They have a very cool system to link the tiles together, WAY better than the GW clips.  And cost?  ROFL, yeah, they're WAY cheaper than GWs boards...  like 40% cheaper, according to MrJustin.

  So roll on over and buy you a set, you'll love them!

Something DONE! - Manufactorum and Night Scythe

  It's a Christmas miracle...  well, an April miracle?  I actually have things done for a change.  While I would love to take all the credit, my wife stepped in and did some.

  My wife offered to help paint stuff, and since she is quite good anyhow, I figured how could I go wrong, right?  So I gave her the manufactorum I built from the Imperial Sector set.  Wow, did she knock it out of the park.  It looks so good, pictures don't seem to catch the subtle shading.  My lousy photo skills make it seem clunky and blocky,  but it looks smashing! 



I can't wait to base this with some rubble and make it look great.  It will be a grand addition to the tabletop!
