Just because you wanted the miniatures to paint

Have you ever bought miniatures justy because you wanted to paint them. Not just play...paint.

Wrath of Kings

A few months ago I opted in with a mate of mine to back Wrath of Kings kickstarter and I went in for Teknes faction. It seems they are releasing some aboslutely fabulous miniatures. one of the most recent updates has some awesome miniatures. Probably wont play the game but love the minis.

Raging Heroes Dark elves

ZOMG, they just keep on coming out with insanely pretty concept a

 

Malifaux

As I have 3 other versions of Seamus, would dearly love to get my hands on this. Loving the resurrectionist faction. Probably wont play the game but love the minis.

The Loot at the End of the World.

I'm mosying along in my hobby, dabbling in Chaos Space Marines, Pink Horrors and the 13th beast for Tauranga Open. More on that on Kiwihammer list later. Planning on a Daemon review and an alternate Miniatures in the near future for our newer episodes.

45 Gargoyles.
5 Abyssal Dwarf Immortal Guard.
5 Elf Stormwind Cavalry.
5 Twilight Kin Dark Riders.

and a book.


Haven't heard much about raging heroes kickstarter but just early days yet. They are 3d sculpting from what I gather. Dark Elves for Games workshop are rumoured for 2 months so RH might kick off their next Kickstarter then.

Mierce next kickstarter is on the 16th September it appears. Hmmm.

Boring Blogger

So most of my creative energies has been pooled into Kiwihammer at the moment. I'm still looking at doing most of my non warhammer related stuff on this blog so have been focusing mainly on warhammer lately. This blog will retain mostly Flames of War, D&D, miscellaneous miniatures and what not. Here is a little fun I had on the weekend with my Nurgley boys.

How to win a Tournament by the Skin of one's Teeth

Cracked open a copy of old Puppet wars last night and going to paint them up and help paint and assemble the new plastic Puppet Wars with the missus. Cute and evil, they should be a fun project.

Have recieved 2nd wave of Mantic stuff and submitted my survey for 3rd wave, going for 40 gargoyles (for bringer of the swarm) and another 12 Trolls for my monster mash WOC list.

Still waiting on Reaper Bones kickstarter notification. Just slightly peeved it's been 2 months since they first started shipping. It's getting kind of IRRITATING!!!1!

I ended up pledgin 165 for Raging heroes Kickstartr which should be done in...god knows when, just money off into the ether for lots and lots of miniatures sometime in the future.

John from Pukeko Games is closing down and will be getting rid of his stock. It's too bad because he was like the only stockist of Reaper in the country. Damn.

Seeing if we can do 1000 points of Flames of War down the club on Thursday and decide on team names for NZTC.

Biker Chics

These look very cool . Can't wait for the Jailbirds bikers.

Raging Heroes Toughest Girls in the Galaxy Kickstarter now on!

Well I pledged for $95 for Toughest Girls in the Galaxy. 6 hours and already up to $226,171. I may up my pledge later to $165 it just depends on whether I want a second Skullcannon now or later.

Whilst I like the Kurganovas and Iron Empire I will be going for mainly the Jailbirds. They'll fit right in with my Necromunda Escher figures.


9 month wait now.

Raging heroes Kickstarter 2 days and 6 hours to go

C'mon already. I got signed up as a special herald, still waiting to be added to their exclusive facebook page. It's looking even more awesome as days go by.

Awesome... and not like Kingdom of Death.

Escher Tank Company reinforcements?

I have 50 Escher languishing in my display cabinet half painted. I've been meaning to do up an escher Tank Girl army for the last 10 years. Finally I may have a bit more impetus to do it. I probably won't play the army much for 40k, but I may just paint it up with some of the Raging heroes new stuff that will be coming. Their Mantis warriors I may buy as reinforcements for my Slaaneshi Daemons,
