Say hello to my (relatively speaking) little friend: Prime Axiom completed!

It's been awhile since my last post, and true to my word I've been busy with making the Great Machine nice and shiny. While the army may not be done by then end of the month, the largest part is finally done: the Prime Axiom.

Hobby update Q1 2015: Miserable Failure (Or: how I learned the hard way to make SMART goals with my hobby time)

It's an Iron Reagan kind of week (hence the title).

As with any responsible hobbyist, when life happens we have to work at balancing our free time and obligations. For me, that balance has been out of whack for the past few weeks. Grants, conferences, and teaching have eaten up a huge part of my schedule, leaving with next to no hobby progress to speak of. Today's post is a lamentation of that lack of progress as well as a plan to get back on track.

Lists for the list god: What the Convergence is bringing to the weekend game

With a bunch of TW members going to Indy this week, It's time to whip up some lists for a few games!  Each person is bringing 2 35-point lists, so for me that means a Syntherion tier list and whatever I can cobble together for Axis. Both casters have new toys to play with, so let's see what we're capable of.

Today we'll cover Syntherion's list. Later in the week, we'll give Axis some list love.

Prime Time: Assembling and Painting the Convergence Colossal (Part 1)

Much like any other hobbyist, real life takes its toll on the time I want to spend dorking out.  However, I've been pretty good about sticking with the 40k kill team and WMH campaign, even with all of these work related deadlines.  So why the recent lack of a post?  Well, it's actually something hobby related.  Sometimes a project comes up that you really can't say no to.  Today's post is the first of a few covering that project.

It's a big one!

So this will probably be one of the last additions to the swans for awhile.... But what an addition he is.

40k Kill Team: Fire Warriors complete

You may not have guessed, but TW used to be big on Warhammer 40k.  Most of us had pretty impressive armies.  Nowadays they just take up space on the shelf, neglected as the Games Workshop community.

Still, I have a fondness for my Tau army as it was my first entry into the wargaming hobby.  Every so often I think of revisiting those models to finish a team, touch up a model, or list build on a larger scale.  In today's post I do just that, and get back to work on the Greater Good.

New Warmachine campaign: Defenders of Rhul (Battle previews)

Valus here with an update on the campaign I've been writing for the team.  I have got the premise ironed out and the central mechanic of the campaign is taking shape.  At first I thought about making this a map campaign, but I thought against it when the rules weren't coming easy.  This first draft is a narrative campaign with a random mission generator and upgrade system.  Today I'm previewing the six random battles you'll find in the campaign.  You can find the details after the jump.

"Yep, right over there; I see them now!"

Another eBay Sale!

The title says it all, folks: I've gathered a large portion of my unused miniatures and I'm auctioning them off on eBay.  You can check out all of the items on my eBay profile page.

Most of the items in this lot are Tau sprues and used models, but there are a few other items up for sale as well.  I have an extra Syntherion (unassembled) up for sale as well as a three painted Reaper Bones minis that are ready for the tabletop.

If you have any questions about the items feel free to send me a message on eBay.  Happy shopping!

New terrain completed

Happy new year everyone!  We're back form break here at TWG and we're starting the new year off strong.  Well, at least I am; can't speak for the rest of these slackers!  Today I'm showing off the completed terrain from last post.  For this project I had surprise help from my girlfriend, and her input really helped in making these pieces work.  See for yourself:

More after the break!
