Bulls and Beer

Took a little trip over the weekend to lovely Benezette, PA to check out the Elk.  Fall is here.  There is a cool crispness to the air and the leaves have turned.  Beautiful reds, browns, oranges and yellows covered the mountains as we made our way north. The Elk did not disappoint.  They are truly majestic creatures. It was a very enjoyable excursion.




On the way there I found a little drive-thru beer distributor in DuBois.  I stopped to grab some Oktoberfest Beer.  There is nothing like a good Marzen this time of year.  The man who waited on me recommended one.  It is made by Spoetzel Brewery in Shiner, Texas.  I have to say the man knew what he was talking about.  This stuff is damn good!  Great taste and a nice little kick to boot!  I'm glad I bought it!  If you get a chance, try some.

Say Hello To My Little Friends

Miniatures Market had a great closeout sale a few weeks back.  I grabbed some figures from the Golem Arcana game, a set from Arcane Legions, and some other stuff.  I just finished modifying the Golems.  I will use them as 28mm models.  I eliminated the silly looking little jockey guys and replaced them with Sculpey or skulls from Secret Weapon Miniatures.  I think that they turned out decently.

The figures in the back of the picture are pretty darn big and exceptionally cool looking.  The 3 figures in the middle are about the same size as a frost or fire giant from D&D, Pathfinder, or Reaper.  The Sand Lion on the left is a tad larger than a standard 28mm figure.  Take a look and see what you think.

Pens are back in action.  Steelers got a win.  The Pitt Panthers too.  Ya gotta love the Fall here in da Burgh!

Silent But Deadly

I finished a set of figures from the old Alkemy Miniatures Game that I've had for some time.  The set is from the Jade Triad faction. It includes a captain and a set of ninjas.  I basically tried to emulate the way that the figures appeared in the picture on the box.  I really liked the way that they looked and decided not to change it.
