I Have The Power

 

Well, I may not have the power but I do have these two pretty cool miniatures which I bought at the Dollar Tree.  They are from the Mattel Micro Masters of the Universe collection.  The store did have several more figures in the set (Man-At-Arms, Mer-Man, and Orko) but I decided to just get these two.   Each figure is roughly 2 inches tall.  He-Man and Skeletor can now battle for all Eternia (LOL) on my (still yet to be finished) wargaming table.

Crazy for Cryptids

 I want to thank Jon, Len, and B.C. for sending me a copy of a book that they have a new story in.  The book is called A World Unseen.  It's got a bunch of creepy stories about cryptids and such.  The guys (the Writers 3) have a story titled The Devil and Cleopatra in it.  It's awesome!!!!  I really enjoy reading their stuff but this story might be my favorite.  I included a link to the book.  Check it out!  Happy reading!

A World Unseen

I'll Take You Out

In the event that a little dirty work needs to take place (on the gaming table that is), I just ordered these assassins from Spikey Bits.  As you can see the deal is great and the models look fantastic.  Can't wait to get them painted up and ready for play.  Check out the pic.

Death From Above

 With a ton of parts left over from the tank project, I decided to see what else I could come up with.  In one of the Final Faction accessory packs there is something that looks like a drone.  After 10 minutes of searching the internet, I found this picture.  It is a Chinese attack drone called a Blowfish.  With it in mind, I set out to see if I could mimic it.

I modified a machine gun from the Heavy Weapons accessory pack and removed the night vision goggles from the helmet in the Covert Ops. pack.  I cut down part of an old plastic hair curler for landing gear.  I found a plastic cap to cover the top.  I made some rocket launcher tubes.  I glued everything together and when I was done I had one very cool attack drone.

I painted it a light gray so that it would blend in better when in the sky and gave it a matte clear coat.  I ordered some clear plastic stands on eBay to mount it on.  For some reason, it reminds me of a mosquito.  I call it a DT-250 AD.  It stands for Dollar Tree, a little over 2 bucks, attack drone.  I plan to have four of them when all is said and done.  Check out the pictures below.

Today is the 20th Anniversary of 9/11.  Let us not forget all the lives lost that day.

Sci Fi Tank on the Cheap

 I found a pretty cool looking U.S. Abrams style tank at the Dollar Tree.  I started to wonder what could I do to modify it into something more futuristic that I could use in WH40K, Weird War, or other Sci Fi  battles.  

The answer to my question was also in the Dollar Tree.  The had some action figures that had separate sets of accessories that they also sold.  I could use these to turn the tank into something a little more menacing for the dark wars of tomorrow.

A can of gray primer/paint, a tube of Super Glue, a few odds and ends from the workbench, and some leftovers from the bits box and presto:  One Amazing Futuristic Battle Tank.

I called it a Kriegshund (War Dog or Hound of War).  It's a lightly armored, heavily weaponized, and
highly mobile tank.  It has 1 main battle cannon, 1 assault cannon mounted on the right side of the turret, one set of twin missile launchers mounted to the left side of the turret, and 3 twin assault guns ( 1 on top and 1 on each side of the main body).  This canine has both bark and bite. I plan on making 2 more so I have a complete litter.  Check out the pics below.  I hope you like my new puppy!

Two Scoops Please!

I got into this over the summer while I was on vacation.  It's too delicious for words.  I can't get enough of it.  I'm a self confessed addict and make no apologies for it.  Trust me on this one.  Go get some for yourself.  TOO GOOD!!!!

Now You See Me...

 ...And now you don't.  Check out my new Chaos Malice Shadow Lord.  The body is a Reaper Bones Hell Knight.  (I have no idea why I had two of them, but since I did, I decided to modify this one. The other one is in a picture in an earlier post.)

 I removed the head, right hand, and shield and replaced them with some bits left over from my Warhammer Chaos Warriors.  The black and white color scheme is based on the Sons of Malice chapter of Chaos Space Marines in WH40K.  I added a few skulls to the base for mood.

I'm going to use this bad boy as the leader of my Warhammer Chaos Army when it is finished.  I'm super happy with the way this guy turned out.  I put a couple of pics below.  As always thank you for checking out my blog.  I greatly appreciate it.  Stay safe out there.

Winged Victory

 I started painting these two miniatures back in May and then got a little sidetracked.  I finished them yesterday and am happy with how they turned out.  The miniatures are from the D&D Nolzurs line.  On the left is a Harpy and the one on the right is an Arakocra.  I used this picture of a Harpy I found online for the color scheme I used on the figure.  

Still working on my Warhammer Chaos army. I'm getting there.  I've decided to add a Chaos Lord to the mix which has set me back a few days.

Some New All Stars

 

Starlink Battle for Atlas by Ubisoft has put out some pretty cool miniatures for their game. The miniatures break down into two categories: Ships and Pilots. I saw some of the miniatures at Dollar Tree while in Florida.  For a buck, I said why not and bought the Razor Lemay pilot figure.  She is cool looking.  She has that post-apocalyptical feel and sort of a Storm from the X-Men punk look.  I like the guitar she has strapped to her back as well.

I liked the Razor figure so much that I turned around and bought the Eli Arborwood pilot.  Eli is a cross between a plant-man and a gunslinger.  He doesn't sound very cool, but in his case, seeing is believing.

I've attached pictures of each.

As far as progress on my Warhammer Chaos Army.  The Khorne figures are finished.  I'm more than halfway done with the Chaos Warriors. I hope to start the Nurgle Cavalry next week.  All in all, things are going fairly smoothly.  Can't wait to see the entire set completed.  

While working on the army, I've been enjoying Voo Doo Potato Chips from Zapp's.  I've been washing them down with some Kona Big Wave Golden Ale.  Great stuff!!!  Go get some!

Nothing But Chaos

I have decided for my summer project to build a Warhammer Chaos Army.  It will be made up of four units; each unit committed to one of the four Chaos Gods.  For Nurgle, a unit of Hexwraith Cavalry.  A unit of  Blood Warriors and Reavers for Khorne.  I'm splitting a box of Chaos Warriors between Slaanesh and Tzeentch.  Each unit will have 8 figures that comprise it.  Totaling 32 figures in all, this will be a bit of a challenge.

As usual, pictures will follow when completed.  Wish me luck.

Yo Ho Ho

and some Rum and Bones miniatures.  These three are from the Wellsport Brotherhood expansion set.  Left to right:  Theo, the Terror of Nova, Grace O'Malley, and Captain 'Bloody' Anne Bonny.  The miniatures are well sculpted and very easy to paint.  I love the look of these miniatures.  It's different, yet not too comical.  Got a great deal on them over at Miniature Market.  Take a peak....lift your eyepatch first.
