Historicon 2024

-

 haven't done much in the last month or so.
i painted some miniatures but nothing worth posting of just yet.
with a wreck of a work schedule and Dungeons and Dragons i been taking a
well deserved break from pretty much everything.

Rita and i did manage to make our way to Historicon this past weekend.
with an already crazy and busy weekend we did get out and enjoy the sights of awesome
tables set-ups and check out the deals in the dealer room and the flea market.

we were roaming around checking out the game tables and almost forgot to
take a few pics of some of the tables.
once again Rita was the professional photographer for the blog.
Rita wandered off and took pics of tables and i did not realize what she took pics of,
so i least tried my best figuring out what the pics are. 



an interesting WWII aerial game.
with my clumsy arms i wouldn't be able to play this, but it looks great. 


a WWII game featuring a german rail gun train, i assume.


i thought Rita took another pic of this but this circus maximus to
show a wide shot of it,
but this was really cool to look at.
can only imagine how the game went. 


not sure what time period this would be,
but a 6'x18' set-up is impressive enough. 



some more great looking tables.


an US Civil War table,
with an elevated table side for a very steep hillside.


viking game using the Ravenfeast rules.



wasn't sure when Rita showed me these pics when i was on the other side of the game hall.
but if i had to guess it looks like 3-6mm ancient greek game.
(edit: after watching a few videos on Youtube of Historicon 2024,
come to find out this is a 2mm ancient greek battle.)

while at Historicon i did manage to pick up some loot. 


been eyeing this for sometime, i somewhat have been itching
for a new set of pulp rules to try out.


recently i became interested in Silver Bayonet from Osprey games.
there's nothing wrong with some napoleonic horror. 


and once again i was able to get a hold of another set of Tenfold Dungeon terrain,
this time i got another Castle set.

had a fun time playing some 40k Kill Team with friend Jayson and his Thousand Sons. despite losing, i had a lot of fun and my friend was getting kick out of his new Kill Team also. and also learn some thing about my own Kill Team and the general rules of the game.   even though the dice were not in my favor today, least i got to use my Death Guard dice.  Thousands Sons deployment  my girlfriend took a picture, her first time watching me game and watch a full game being played out she thought it was neat and cute...not sure how cute this was.... anyways in the pic.. the Death Guard advance and i did manage to take out a follower of Tzeentch.  Death Guard advance.  taking wounds.  taking a beating from the Tzaangors... or the chicken goat f***ks.  looking down the barrel of a soulreaper cannon.  the chicken goat bastards giving the Death Guard Champion and another marine a run for the...

legion of undead

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have. these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games. i went with a simple color scheme, i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. the so called leader of the group. with the simple color and shading these came out nicely. i might go back and retouch the eyes, maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets. rest of the group. way these came out i might purchase another pack of these, add more to the more ranks. Beholder Zombie. this fellow was fun to paint. cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group. (insert evil laugh here) Crawling Claws. wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game, and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this. made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set. last year i came across some board games called Dark World, and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games. so i used t...

for the Lord of Wolf, for Russ!

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
