I ran out and bought a tentacle maker from a gentleman who is just gettin started. His name is Rich and he wants you to make all sorts of tentacles and cables so go check him out and see if its your cup o tea. www.greenstuffindustries.blogspot.com

Damn it Jim, Im an Apothecary, not a Dr.

Well, not a lot to say. I posting my new apothecary now, unfinished, because I dont know when I am going to really be able to work on him again. Ive let my grad school work slip a little and Ive got to tighten up the reigns so the paint station is getting put away for a while.



I didnt go to the main Battle for Salvation GT for the same reason I didnt go to NOVA. Am I the only person who doesnt want to play a marathon of 40K. I mean holy crap! I heard a horror story while I was playing in the doubles tournament on Friday. It was a horror story to me because after the 3 games I played on Friday, my back hurt like hell. @ NOVA - 5 games on Friday, 4 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday! 13 games in three days? AHHHHH F you if you think Im doing that.

This is the end, my friend.... of Belial!

I dont have school next week so I was able to pull a lazy this weekend and sit around doing who cares what! Rent SPACE MARINE from the RedBox for $2 dollars and beat it, check! 99% complete my Belial model, check!

A note on the cape: I really regret not repairing the tattered edges and holes with green stuff. I got lazy, and somehow rationalized the war torn look. REGRET IT!!! I spent a lot of time trying to decide what designs I was going to do. Hence the red X on the inside. Lame? Maybe but good enough for something barely visible. What I really like is the "art nouveau" design on the back of the cape. I am absolutely in love with that stuff. The second picture was a finished picture until I got to thinking that those wings really represented lizard or daemon wings and not the angels of death that this army is being modeled behind. I wanted that to be a re-occuring symbol but I realized with the feathered wings everywhere else, that it wouldnt look coherent. SO... I painted over it and added some color. The two sea gull heads are supposed to be the aquilla eagle heads with one blind eye. Whats the official story behind that anyway?



On a side note, does anyone know anything about the last Soul Drinkers book. What the hell is taking Ben COunter so long? I want to know what heappens to Sarepedon!!!!!!!

Ill have to say it was a good day, cause I didnt have to use Fritz's AK

Man I had a Great day. It was a nice cool fall-ish rain outside today and I was home alone all day today. I got several things done, including this little beastie. He is my standard bearer for my "Angels of Death," army. I ate almost a whole pan of brownies with white confetti icing. I had filet mignon for dinner. I spent time with my wife and son. I chatted with some buddies during the day. F**k, it was a great day!!!!!



100% done with a brush!

Black Matt Wins the NOVA OPEN

Ok well I didnt win or even go but I needed a flashy head line to get you to come over and look at my 95% completed Belial for my Deathwing army. After some time off, it seems that Stella got her grove back. By Stella, I mean me!
For the longest time I couldnt stand the smell of 40K, fig painting or blogger.com! With that time off, 40K has again become what I want it to be. A hobby that I enjoy in my spare recreatioonal time. I still have the intention of selling all my extra stuff but Im not getting out of 40K, not entirely at least. If I want to play, I will play.
So what do you guys think about Belial here? It felt pretty good, sitting down and actually enjoying my art instead of my obligation!!!! See you next time, even if I dont know when that'll be!


Sorry, I snuck in picture of work cause I needed a seventh photo!

"crush kill maim! little wispers in my braim!" or "dynamic duo"

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but............

Ok now that we got rid of Ron, I want to talk about my crappy choice for a tournament that I will be playing this Saturday up in connecticut. There will be some top players up there so you can bet that I'm going to be bringing the pain, right?

Wrong. I have hardly been playing any table top games these past few months. And the few tournaments or games that I have played in, I got my a$$ handed to me. In order for the average player to be effective or competitive, they have to be practiced against all manner of opponents. Currently I am not. I've played against grey knights once, and I still don't know my Deathwing well enough to contend for the top. The only list I know in and out, is one based on lash. So that's what I will do. I'm not delirious, so I don't think I will contend for the top so I am going to play what I want. I've always wanted to do a horde/ foot beserker khorne army. I was originally thinking that I would max out on csm with a khorne icon but I am going to run this. WHAT'S MORE FLUFFY THAN KHORNE AND SLAANESH SIDE BY SIDE!

2 D PRINCES WITH WINGS AND LASH 310
6 - 10 MAN BESERKERS champ w/pf, 2 with plasma pistols 280 x 6 = 1680

Simple, rush forward and KILL everything!

******************************************Edit************************
I dont think that I am going to be able to make this happen. I have Fritz loaning me about 20 and that still doesnt give me enough Marine figs. I am short about 29 figs in total. I need an aspiring champ with Pwr Fist, 10 guys with plasma pistols, (which I have the plasma pistols,) and a Daemon Prince with wings. check out the one Ive modeled a long time ago thats masquerading as a Nurgle D Prince. Dont worry, he jerks off a lot so he is really a Slaanesh daemon prince

So about Chapter house studios..........

Well, I ordered the Land Raider accesory sprue from Chapter house Studios that I said I would. In fact, I ordered three. I had a small problem with one set of the doors. One of the pieces was broken and absent from the package. If it was just broken, I woudl have simply glued it back together and that woudl have been that. I contacted Chapter house studios to request a new piece, and as any business should, they protected themselves against fraud by requesting I send a picture of the broken piece.

Picture sent with a reply stating he would send out a replacement shortly. And the real reason I am writing this up is because he sent me a whole new kit and didnt request that the old one be returned. What I am trying to say is, you can expect excellent product and customer service from http://www.chapterhousestudios.com/
The Death Angel kit is worth every penny!!!!!!!
