Feb Moto 2012 Gold

I completed the foundation to most Space Marine armies, the Tactical Squad. I really need to make an army list for the Crimson Fist army. Right now I'm painting models that ignite the creative spark. My mission is to have an army list done by this weekend and I will post it up.

PS I have encountered a slight problem with painting Crimson Fist. I know have the itch to play Orks and already bought a Nobz box. This is going to be one hell of a hobby year!

Moto 2012 Update

With 2 weeks to spare I got Kantor done. I'm also 95% done on two 10x man tactical squads. For all the Bootas who waged your money against me, start getting your money ready!

Freeboota Motivational Challenge 2012

Well it is that time of the year. Time for all of us to make hobby resolutions that we can never live up to and persist to lie to ourselves that we can get them done. I have already tapped out of one Moto Challenge and I refuse to do it again. the Freebootas have started taking bets as too when I will tap out.

Sorry to burst your bubble Bootas, but I will get this done this year. I will do Crimson Fist and add units as I go. I'm trying to avoid structure and paint what I think is cool within the structure of the Moto challenge 2012. Above is a pick form lunch, the model is a scratch built Kantor and my HQ choice for January.

OOOOOOOH it has been a long time!

It has been a long time since I posted. I have done a lot of hobby since I last posted, it was focused on other games or painting contacts for other people. Toys for Tots is the main reason I'm posting today. Once again the Freebootas have banded together to paint up a couple of armies for this great charity. I painted and donated the inquisitor for the command squad. Here are the details and were to find the auctions:

Red Army:

No hobby time

Well it has been a while since my last post and boy have I been a busy little bee. I have had almost non-stop travel the last two weeks and I have had no time to hobby. It’s not that my hobby it a wall and just can’t find time to fit it in. In the last two weeks I have been in Indianapolis and Salt Lake City; with only two days separating those trips. I of course decided to spend time with my fiancé then painting my little army men.

But Kyle why were you travelling so much? The first trip was for work at GenCon in Indianapolis. Now if you have never been to Gencon it is a must check off your gamer’s bucket list. GenCon is a huge melting pot of RPGers, MMORPGers, Video Gamers, and Table top war gamers. I didn’t get to check out all the things I wanted to because of work but it is also a lot to take in.

I was in Salt Lake City for Blue Table Painting’s Valhalla. Now this was more of a vacation but this is a must for all gamers to check out. You are waited on hand and foot while you play games all weekend. I will post pics in the following days covering my experience at Valhalla. Shawn and the ladies at Blue Table Painting put out all the stops for their gamers. You stay at a resort cabin in Sundance and its unbelievable; review will follow.

So back to all the excuses of why I couldn’t hobby. This Wednesday is hobby night and I’m looking forward to finishing my Night Lords. I still have 12 Chaos Terminators and 2 Vindicators to complete. Keep your eyes peeled for updates.
