All on a budget!
I'll be writing up new blog posts with a few pictures mixed in every week or two. This blog will put Miniature Wargaming in a real perspective when working on a budget!psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.comBlogger44125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-12504886174664640372012-07-02T08:26:00.001-07:002012-07-02T08:26:12.276-07:00I'm Not DeadBeen a while since my last post and I apoligize for that.

So... I have set a plan in motion to help me get these freebooter orks started and hopefully set me on the road to get a fully painted 40K army...<br />
<br />
Here <span style="font-family: inherit;">is my</span> 500 point army list so far<br />

This month will be hard to hit that goal because work has really been keeping me busy but with the completion of my first 10 gretchin it's really pushed me to at least complete the first 500 points. I have also worked out an easy way to get my major colors painted up with minimal work. I'll keep this blog updated with my progress and see how far my freebooters travel!!!</span></div></div></div>psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-82566561037385434122012-03-31T07:19:00.001-07:002012-03-31T07:20:11.194-07:00WIP Shots of my Ork Freebooter Kaptin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A few WIP shots of my Ork Freebooter Kaptin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The model is from Early Learning Center. It is a European company and the ship is very high quality. It'll be a shhmae to mess it up but and ork has to do what an ork has to do! This ship when it is all done will be larger than a battle wagon so I may need to look through the Imperial Armour volumes to see if there is a larger ork vehicle that I can use the rules for.psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-51399766433699990662012-02-27T10:08:00.000-08:002012-02-27T10:08:02.923-08:00We "AAAAARRRRRGH" A Go For Freebooter Pirate 40K Orks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've been hitting a a real wall with painting my dwarves lately.

I did however get one model completed the other day though! I picked this anime style model a LONG time ago. It was nice to get away from the dwarves and paint something a little different.<br />

It's just a little friendly competition to try to help some members get their armies painted up throughout the year. At the end of the year the member with the most points wins... NOTHING except for bragging rights.<br />

I haven't been to my local FLGS in ages. I really need to get down there and hang out for a bit.<br />

Also on a side note... My new webcam SUCKS. I think that I may take my monthly hobby allowance and get something a little better.

Next up on my list of Dwarves is my Dwarf Warriors with hand weapons and shield to go into my already existing unit of Warriors. I've used the airbrush to spray on brown for the base and silver for the cahinmail. I'm hoping by airbrushing on some of these colors that I can speed up the process a bit.

Started my YouTube channel. I'm still going to post to the blog because I find this a lot easier to take care of than making videos.<br />

Here's a link to my first video...<br />

Gonna do some painting on the Slayers tonight and I'll take some photos of my progress.psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-22144387360661848472012-01-18T13:16:00.000-08:002012-01-18T13:16:36.620-08:00The Work Continues...Work continues on the dwarves. The airbrush is a savior! Being able to spray on the base layer on the base of the minis make the time fly. I used to brush on the base color of the base and it took forever to get a base done that way. I was able to spray the base color on in barely no time for the next 250 points of dwarves. <br />
<br />
I really need to get them done. I'm so far behind. I'm almost done with the slayers though. I thought that they would go quick but the models have so many little hidden details. I suppose that's my fault since they are a mish-mashed unit of many different slayer models.<br />
<br />
On a side note I bid on a webcam on another website and I won! I should have it by late next week. I'm really hoping that I can use it to take better photos of my minis and maybe some videos that I can upload onto YouTube.psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-18369600293918852212012-01-14T14:43:00.000-08:002012-01-14T14:43:59.121-08:00Airbrush Fun!!!Had a try at the new airbrush last night and today. The only thing that I can say is... AWESOME!!! Why didn't I ever get one of these years ago! I baecoated the skin on 20 gretchin in just a few minutes and started the basecoats on the Ork Trukk. Talk about speeding up some processes. I don't know how much I'll be able to use the airbrush with my dwarves since some of the spaces are really tight on the GW models but I can see myself making a lot of headway with the ork army.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">During the holidays one of my stops on the Holiday Party Express was my Father-In-Laws house. He used to models years ago but mainly modeled historical models. He hasn't touched models for a while (I won't go into why) and he knew that I'd been interested in getting an airbrush. He told me that I could have this compressor and hooked me up with a single action airbrush to see if I liked airbrushing models before I went out and spent money. Can we say "AWESOME!!!!!!"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I had known that Harbor Freight had a dual action and the reviews weren't too bad on it.

I would like to say that I acomplished lots of painting during my long holiday vacation...<br />
<br />
I didn't accomplish anything. I had grand ideas of sitting in my N.C.C. (Nerd Command Center) for hours on end and spending days painting and finishing things up before the end of the year. YEAH... That didn't happen at all. My wife took it upon herself to plan many of my nights doing family activities with relatives and going away for an extended weekend out of town to celebrate New Years.<br />
<br />
I would like to say that I am disappointed at the lack of progress made hobbywise during my time off (and there is some of me that really is disappointed... like 30% of me) but I'm pretty happy with the progress that I made of spending time with my wife and children during the break. As I think about it now my family is sort of a hobby of mine as well. I spend a LOT of time with my family and they bring me a lot of enjoyment. <br />
<br />
I could sit here and talk about my new years resolutions but to be completely honest... I didn't make any this year. There's a few things that I would like to get done and I'm sure that I will get them done but if I don't then I'll make due.<br />
<br />
So... Here's to the next year and 52 more weeks of hobbytime.<br />
<br />
I'll set some time aside within the next few days to talk more about my holiday fun time and a few of the hobbywise presents that I received for Christmas.psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-47751518777652297282011-12-09T07:12:00.000-08:002011-12-09T07:12:50.816-08:00AggravationsBlogs...<br />
<br />
What to say about blogs...<br />
<br />
It's so aggravating to look at some of the blogs that other people follow, read some of the content, fall in love with the content... And then realize that they haven't updated their hobby blog in over a year. So much great stuff out there and it's all been left by the wayside. I really do truly hope that this blog never goes that route. I'm pretty confident that there will be times where I won't be able to update for a a few weeks when "real" life gets in the way but I'm an adult with a full time family and a full timejob so that'll happen. <br />
<br />
Small update that "real" life has gotten in the way of the hobby this week with work being busy and I haven't been able to touch a brush all week but I am positive that I will be able to get a few coats of paint on this afternoon. I also haven't been to the FLGS since I picked up my last purchase so I haven't gotten any play time in either. My vacation is coming up in a few weeks so I hope to get a lot of painting and gaming done then (hopefully).psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-36727549184874554892011-12-04T19:38:00.000-08:002011-12-04T19:38:46.852-08:00Slayers!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Still working on the unit of Dwarf Slayers. The skin still needs a final highlight and the Slayer beards / hair only have a base coat but they're going along pretty quickly. If you look close you'll notice that there are 12 Slayers in the unit that I'm painting but I only have 10 in my army list. I have 12 models and I figured that while I'm painting the 10 models I would just go ahead and paint the full 12.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

- Highlight - Snot Green<br />
- Ink - Thraka Green<br />

- Ink - Devlan Mud<br />
- Highlight - Bestial Brown<br />
- Edge Highlight - Desert Yellow<br />
<br />

- Base - Calthan Brown<br />
- Highlight - Bleached Bone<br />
- Highlight - Skull White<br />
<br />
<strong>Shields / Orange</strong><br />

- Edge Highlight - Sunburst Yellow<br />
<br />
<strong>Gold</strong><br />

- Highlight - Dwarf Flesh<br />
- Highlight - Elf Flesh<br />
<br />
<strong>Bases</strong><br />
Base - Calthan Brown<br />
Highlight - Desert Yellow<br />
Highlight - Bleached Bone<br />
Rim of base - Khemri Brown<br />
<br />
I feel a lot better now that I have a digital copy of the steps that I take to get these colors painted up on my Dwarves. I feel like I've really simplified the steps but I'm sure that there's other ways of getting these colors painted but I'm pretty comfortable with these methods.<br />
<br />
Work continues and I hope to have the second Bolt Thrower done in a few days.psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-11162666292748033542011-11-27T16:46:00.000-08:002011-11-27T16:51:23.140-08:001st Bolt Thrower = Complete!!!!!!!!!!!I know that I said in my last post that I was going to post my painting steps for my dwarves...<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I also completed making my display cabinet yesterday. It's kind of a neat story how this cabinet came to be. I'd gotten this cabinet years ago that someone had dumped on the side of the road when I was a teenager and still living at home. Fast forward about 14 years and I've kept this cabinet this whole time. My neighbors in an adjoining townhouse were evicted 3 months ago and had some cabinets that they left that had glass doors on them. The cabinets were made more for stereo equipment than anything but I had the notion to use one of the glass doors for the front of my cabinet and create a display case for the army that I'm currently working on. I also was very lucky in that my neighbors cabinet also had wired electrical lighting so I removed the door, door hardware and light fixture. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Yesterday the wife and the kids were away all day so I set this as my project for the day! I went to the home repair shop and got some plexiglass, "L" brackets and screws and when I came home I went to work on my new cabinet. I really wish that I'd taken before photos! At the end of the day I really think that I only spent about 25 dollars on this display cabinet! You can even tell it's a frankenstein cabinet because in the picture you can see that the door is too big for the cabinet. HAHA! But in all reality it turned out very nice looking in my opinion.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">1 more Bolt Thrower and I'll finally be finished my 1st 500 points of Dwarves. It seems like they're taking a long time to paint but in all reality I'm actually moving along pretty nicely if I put into scope that I have painted this much in years.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">On a side note I went to my FLGS today but they were holding a Warhammer 40K tournament so I couldn't get any games in. I did however pick up my Ork Big Mek that's been waiting for me for over a month. This is my first Citadel Fincast miniature and I can already see a flaw but it's an easy enough fix. So, there is my monthly alottment for my hobby but with Christmas coming around I already know that I'm getting a gift certificate to my FLGS. How do I know you might be thinking...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The owner told me that my wife had stopped in and gotten me one but he wouldn't tell me the amount!</div>psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-5626359301608583152011-11-26T07:01:00.000-08:002011-11-27T16:51:54.558-08:00Thanksgiving Holiday - Bottling SessionSo, I've got a long weekend because of the Thanksgiving Holiday. I'd said a few days ago that I needed to bottle my beer that I brewed a month ago. My wife was out shopping on Black Friday and I didn't have much to do so I decided to bottle the beer today. My son wanted to help because he likes to help me bottle so this became a father and son bottling session.<br />

I thought that I would really enjoy painting up the Bolt Throwers but I'm finding them very tedious and boring. I'm really looking forward to painting up the unit of Slayers though. They've been sitting on my desk and they've been calling out to me lately. Plus I feel like I should be able to paint them up quickly since they're mostly skin. I feel like I've really slacked this month with paining and if I was still holding myself to the 250 point painting challenge then I would've failed utterly. But work continues and I'm trying to get through things!<br />
<br />
I'll most likely post something tomorrow or later today about the process of how I've been painting my dwarves. I have everything written down on a scrap piece of paper and I am so afraid that I'm going to lose it. If I have it all up on the blog then at least I will have an electronic copy.psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-19660328785152835252011-11-24T07:06:00.000-08:002011-11-24T07:06:19.489-08:00Happy Turkey DayI just wanted to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there inlcuding my friends and family!<br />

<br />
So, the only real news is that the warmachines have taken longer than expected but I finally have the crews completed!<br />

Once I finish the 2 Bolt Throwers (which won't take long) I'll finally be finished my first 500 points worth of Dwarf models!!! I've based my next 250 points and I've primered them so that I can start on them right away when I finish up my first 500 point chunk. If you recall my next 250 points will be a unit of Slayers and another 10 Dwarf Warriors w/ shields to fill up my Warrior unit.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping that with the 4 day weekend coming up that I can get some headway.<br />
<br />
BUT... I also have to plan for one of these night to bottle my beer.

</div>I'm sad that I have this model and I'm happy at the same time. See, I ordered this in Finecast at my FLGS and it's been there but I haven't had the money lately to get it since the Orks have taken the backseat and now that I already own it I don't need another but I feel obligated to get the other model anyway. But really I'm sure that 2 in an army is a good thing too if I ever want to field both Meks,<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I added all of these models up with no upgrades and I put it at a little shy of 1500 points.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I received all of these models for what was left of my birthday money (80 dollars) and what I had Space Marine wise (which was probably about 100 dollars worth).

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm super happy with everything that unfolded and I took a huge step in filling out my Ork horde and in the long run a spent very little to get what I did!

<br />
He's using Dark Elves and every single model is calvary! LAME<br />
<br />
It was learning lesson and turned out to be a very close game but in the end his hero and his unit of cold one knights tore through much of my army. <br />
<br />
Some lessons that I learned from this game...<br />
<br />
-Shoot the big stuff and don't sweat the small stuff! (I spent a lot of my shooting on the small Dark Rider units when I should've been going for his tougher units)<br />
<br />
-Warmachines can pivot to shoot other directions. (I thought that pivoting counted as moving)<br />
<br />
-Dwarf Warmachine units are stubborn and that = AWESOME!!!<br />
<br />
But hey... I'm not complaining since this was our technical first game against each other and you need to make mistakes in order to learn from your mistakes.psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-77053470782776082452011-11-07T06:01:00.000-08:002011-11-07T06:01:00.813-08:00First BattleJust a quick update...<br />
<br />
Yesterday I saw my first taste of metal clashing against metal as my dwarves battled the foul taint of chaos Slaanesh demons at my local FLGS. I would love to say that my 500 point dwarven force came out as the winners but in this case they received a disappointing loss. Still with everything that happened and with being my first game in a LONG time I don't think that I did too bad. I played against a Slaanseh force that had a unit of Seekers of Slaanesh, a Fiend of Slaanesh and a unit of Daemonettes.<br />
<br />
Learning point... Slaanesh Demons are FAST! His Seekers were dug into combat on his second turn. And my awesome shooting does nothing againse the demon's Ward saves. Plus, it helps when the oposing player only fails 1 armour save the whole game. This just wasn't my day.<br />
<br />
What I need to get into my army for my next 250 points is more bodies! It's a really good thing that I've already been planning for this and have begun assembly on more bodies in the forms of slayers and warriors.<br />
<br />
Paint continues on the 2 Bolt Thrower units and since I'm going away for work and taking my paints with me for the night to the hotel they should be complete in a week or two.<br />
<br />
There is also a group of gamers beginning to play Warmachine on Wednesday nights so I'll begin painting up Gorten and his battle box soon.psychobob808http://www.blogger.com/profile/07365905533435486255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943286272192325491.post-59537611389378780502011-11-03T05:25:00.000-07:002011-11-03T05:25:46.242-07:002 Units Finally Done!So, last night I finally finished up my unit of Dwarf Thunderers amd my unit of of Dwarf Warriors.
