Catching Up

It's been a long time since I posted. I'm going to try and get better about that.

Over the Christmas/New Year's timeframe I attended Lindy Focus in Asheville, NC. It was an absolute blast.

Last weekend I played Steve of Boisterous Exuberance in a game. Lizardmen vs. Dark Elves. Steve posted a detailed write up of the game with lots of pictures on his blog which you can check out here: http://boisterous-exuberance.blogspot.com/2010/01/dark-elves-vs-lizardmen-012310.html

I've been working on painting my lizardmen recently. In particular my saurus warrior block. I'll post some pictures later. I ended up settling on a color scheme of scab red base coat, black inking, and red gore drybrushing for the skin/scale coloring. I've got the base coat down on all 20 of the models and two of them have been inked. I'm hoping over the next week I can crank out the inking and drybrushing and start on some of the finer details of the models.

In the meantime, I've been salivating over the thought of a new Ogre book in possibly May and the rumours that have been coming out surrounding it. A good summary of the relevant rumours can be found here: http://drinkinandmodelin.blogspot.com/2010/01/ogre-kingdoms-new-army-book-rumors.html

Also, one of the most impressive conversions I've ever seen can be found here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/264457.page
