LITW Joins FTW

Thats right - Lost In The Warp has joined the From The Warp blogging network. This is a great collection of primarily 40K related sites and blogs. Great stuff - glad to be here. Link posted on the links page as well.

Aside from that, I have confirmed that I will be attending Gencon this summer and am currently working out what it is that I am going to be teaching. If anyone has particular requests for lessons/tutorials do let me know and I will try to work them into my schedule. I am going to try my best to schedule around some of the Privateer Press events as I want to play some Warmahordes while I am there. I am also looking to be involved again in the Aces charity painters challenge and a few othe mini related events. Cant wait!

I have nearly finished my B1 Bis model and will be posting more updates about that over the next few weeks as I prepare to take it to my first ever IPMS competition (HeritageCon 2012) . I am also hopeful to finish a special additional model which I basecoated last night and will begin shading later today..... Definitely updates for that one in the que.

New 18 mp Canon t2i camera will hopefully also result in some nice pictures in the booth. If everything goes well this is going to lead to rephotographing large sections of my collection and a whole new set of galleries including several never before seen pieces....Should be good.

So not much model wise this week but lots of kick@$$itude to come.

Cya in 1 week

New Warcaster from an Old Friend.

It is awesome to have great friend like David Pauwels. Aside from being my teammate and one of my favorite painters/competitors in the Golden Demons year after year, David is a real stand up guy. Whats more, he and his lovely wife have been good enough to let me stay with them from time to time in the Windy City. Dave is simply one of my favorite people.

No, this is not the best picture of him I could have chosen - but this one makes me laugh.

From the first time Joe Orteza introduced me to him and I saw his award winning daemonettes I could see that we had similar painting sensibities and I have enjoyed watching his work develop. I have also long coveted owning a piece of his work (heck even Chris Borer has one of David's models! - funny story that-)

Well, the time to covet is past and the time to revel in the having is here. 

Dave decided that it was time to clear out a few of his extras and next thing I knew a parcel full of even smaller boxes arrived at my door.....

 

May I present my third caster for Warmachine - Ashlynn D'Elyse - and her compatriots the Mule, Talon, Vanguard and Eiryss as painted by David Pauwels:

Much like my own warmachine models, these pieces are not painted to so called "Golden demon" standards but are still really beautiful and far above table top quality. Any of these would make a great centerpiece in most people's army.

What I REALLY love is that these just happen to share almost the same colour palette as my existing merc forces. As such, they really fit right in with my existing units and will look great no matter what I pair them up with. SWEET.


I am also thrilled that Dave's pieces included the No Quarter limited edition Eiryss model. It is my favorite sculpt of her and really frees me up to use her as either standard or epic version without a problem.

To see more of David's miniatures work please check out his AMAZING historical miniature company GORGON STUDIOS. He also runs a toally kick @$$ - Edgy SciFi Rock and Roll dystopian online comic called Free Mars which you can find HERE (not for kids!). Fun fact: Dan Abnett is a fan and wrote the foreward to the first Free Mars printed collection!.

More on Ashylnn (tournament battle report/lists/etc) Dave's CELEBRITY DREADFLEET and Free Mars to come soon!

Till Next Week!
