Goodbye Hobby 2009

So comes to the end of another period of hobby intense activity. I'm off to Thailand tomorrow evening and as such there will be no further updates for a while until January. In my effort to have my Lizardmen army ready for the DogCon 2010 tournament I have produced one complete squad, and here they are:

Caution, the enlarged photo is a bit big. They were assembled during a hatefully-industrious stage, so feel free to point out and guffaw at the mold lines and other similar mistakes. I'll go over the paint mistakes after I return, particularly the basing ones.

Green and Purple

Yep, I've still been actively working on my hobby. Last night I decided to base my assembled Temple Guard, Chakax and some other stuff. Whilst I was at it, I thought - "Hey, why not flock my movement trays and already based models?". So I went about doing that. My movement trays had previously looked pretty crappy, but I think they look better now. It's my first attempt at flocking, and I'm happy to say I believe it came out alright. I went to the Painting Clinic for help. The Painting Clinic is always an extreely useful site for miniature hobbying.


I've also started work on a certain floaty-chair. Here's a picture of it standing upright, as well as a better picture of my Frog-Prince.


As always, click the image for a larger display. I need to remind myself to add borders to the images like I did with the Rocket Battery Crew in Photoshop.

An Update

That's right, I've painted something. This time it's for the army I intend to bring to DogCon - Lizardmen.

I decided to paint my Slann purple because I'm sick of painting green and orange whilst everything else in the army is blue or green and also because it'll be the only opportunity to use purple in the army outside feathers.


Also on the painting station are the Helstorm Rocket Battery and the plastic Stegadon. I'm pleased that I've rectified its skin tone from a bright blue to a darkened 'Crimson Fist' shade. Painting the scales is as horrible as it had been with the metal Stegadon. Tomorrow I'll start painting the Slann's palanquin and the bone on the Stegadon, because I find using Foundation paints to be tiresome.

On the gaming front I am looking to sneak in a 2000 point Fantasy game possibly this Thursday. I bought a Warhammer Army Figure Case to house my Lizardmen army. It'll be nice to take my army somewhere and have it not break in transit, especially when its an old metal Stegadon or howdah.
