Elf on the Shelf....or Not

I must have been nice this year.  For quite sometime I wanted this X-Men Sentinel HeroClix figure.  I bought a few other Sentinels some time ago, but I never got around to picking up this one.  I always thought the pose on this one along with the colors and facial features were so cool.  I was very happy to open up this bad boy on Christmas Morning.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Slay Deer????

 

...had a very shiny scythe...and sickle.  And if you ever saw it...you'd run like hell!  No dear believers, this isn't old Rudolph and it certainly never played in any Reindeer Games.  This is a Cryx Soulhunter.  It is one of the five that I'm currently working on.  This is the only one I've finished so I thought I would share.  

The Soulhunters are Undead Cyborgish Centaurs (Cool right??)  These guys are part of the Warmachine World by Privateer Press. These metal minis are greatly detailed and look super.  I went with a simple palate of silvers, reds, tans, black, and a little green.  I think this one turned out decently.  I hope the others do as well.  Wish me luck!

12/23/23 - I finished the rest today.  Here's the whole team.

I doubt I'll have any more posts this year with the holidays coming and all. I'd like to take a moment and wish everyone a joyous holiday season and a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2024.  

Oh, and don't forget to do any last minute shopping at kahuna kollectibles

I Am The Law

I ordered this Judge Dredd Figure on his Lawmaster Motorcyle some time ago.  I've always been a big fan of the character and the fictional world of Mega-City One.  The comic books were great.  The movies as well.  Loved Stallone!  

This bad boy was a real pain to paint, but worth it.  I tried to keep the color scheme to those of the comics.  The Lawmaster is more in line with the movies.  He's all done and ready to judge any perps he comes across.  Stay out of his way!

On Thin Ice

If you have paid attention to my blog for any amount of time, you know I'm a diehard Pittsburgh Penguins fan. Much like the other pro teams in the area, the Boys of Winter are taking their fair share of lumps this year. It has been hard to watch at times.

Making matters worse is listening to the games.  The TV broadcast team got overhauled over the summer and I can't say I'm pleased.  At the desk now is Jay Caufield (who's been around for a while).  He's joined by Mike Rupp (and other former Pens), along with Dan Potash (who got bumped upstairs.)  Sorry, but Dan was more fun down on the ice with the players and coaches.  He seemed more at home there.

Replacing him is Hailey Hunter.  She is the one bright spot in this new line up.  She knows her hockey and does a great job with the interviews as well.  Calling the game are Colby Armstrong and Josh Getzoff.  Sorry guys, but you're just not doing it for me.  After years of  Bob Errey and Steve Mears and the amazing chemistry they had, the new crew is like listening to saltine crackers...bland.

Maybe it's just me.  Maybe it will take some time to get used to.  But for right now, with the team doing just so-so, it's rough.
