Hey guys,
Today I will be starting a new segment for my blog that will come along every one or two weeks. Here I will be looking at the new releases from big and small miniature companies alike. Some of you guys may have already read about these releases and I will just be giving my opinion on the items at the moment. Maybe as my blog gets bigger, I will be able to get some rumors and the news as it breaks. So, lets get to it...
We'll start with some news from our favourite games company to love to hate to love... Games Workshop. G.W. has released their second set of Blood Angels Along with an article apply named "Blood Angels:Specialist Troops Assembly and Painting". This article also includes some helpful starting tactics and the usual stuff. The link for the new B.A. models is here and the new article here.

I used a colour scheme I made up randomly.
This (below) is the back detail of the chair.
I sprayed it white, washed them black with a 1:1 ratio of Chaos Black (GW Paint) to water, added Shining Gold (GW Paint) detail, drybrushed Boltgun Metal (GW Paint) where needed, painted Blood Drops Orkhide shade (GW Foundation) then highlighted raised area with Goblin Green (GW Paint), painted paper Bleached Bone (GW Paint) then highlited with pure Skull White (GW Paint) then scribled text with chaos Black (GW Paint), highlighted raised areas with Codex Grey (GW Paint) then highlited with 1:1 mix of Codex Grey (GW Paint) and Skull White (GW Paint), finally I washed it all with 2:1 ratio of water to Chaos Black (GW Paint).
These are of the C.A.T.
I used the same painting techniques
as the dead Terminator.
I couldn't post photos of the little cup thingbecause the picture couldn't focus (size reasons).
Thanks for checkin out these pics, if you have any feedback
or constructive critizems, please coment.
Till next time,

How Less and More Effort in Terrain can Make a Difference...
0 comments Posted by xSpinner_xD at 7:38 PMHey Guys,
Today I will be explaining how less and more effort in terrain can make a difference.
In the image above, you see two similar shades of dark style desert sand (stay with me on these, there was a lot of difficulties this week). One was done in seven steps, one in nine. Which one do you think was done less steps?The one on the left (we'll call it, frame A.), was done in nine steps and the one on the right (we'll call it, Frame B.), was done in seven steps. Both very similar and both look good. Less effort, and soon to be found less paint, comes out to the same effect (with terrain, remember that).Here is a step-by-step guide to how to do both (obviously, I recommend going more the way of Frame B.).
Step 1: Sand (not smoothed, what you do with bases and P.V.A. Glue) your base, terrain, etc.
Step 2: Under coat (both Frames) with with a 1:1 mix of "Skull White" GW Paint and watered down P.V.A. Glue.
Step 3: Base coat (both frames) with a slightly watered down "Scorched Brown" GW Paint.
Step 4: For Frame A, overbrush a 1:1 mix of "Scorched Brown" GW Paint and "Dwarf Flesh" GW Paint.
For Frame B, overbrush "Dwarf Flesh" GW Paint.
For Frame B, lightly overbrush "Tallarn Flesh" GW Foundtaion Paint.
Step 6:For Frame A, drybrush "Tallarn Flesh" GW Foundation Paint.For Frame B, drybrush "Bleached Bone" GW Paint.
Finish Frame B with a wash of Scorched Brown with a 2:1 water to paint ratio.
Frame B. has been completed.
Step 9:Finish Frame A with a wash of Scorched Brown with a 2:1 water to paint ratio.
I will say again, there is no difference in quality when time, effort and paint usage are varied (for terrain, very important just for terrain), as shown as an example in the pictures below.
But, that is my opinion.
So, if you want to voice your opinion or inform me of a law suit you want to file against me for any Eye problems caused by reading this article and/or any R.S.I. problems caused by any excessive scrolling, please comment.
Thank you for reading my first big article (with pictures!!!),
Till next time,

Hey Guys,
I am greatly sorry about the lack of posts over the last couple of days as I have been having some technical difficulties with my internet, resulting in me not being able to access my blog (or my facebook, or other forums). However, I was preparing a big post over those days and it will be posted this afternoon (for me). Also, possibly tomorrow I will be posting a fairly large "shout outs" post,
till... this afternoon,

Hey guys,
Things lately have gotten pretty hectic, as of me getting now into my second term of high school, so I have kinda forgotten about my blog. Things are about to change.
I have been trying to get tips for my blogs and I have a bunch of new ideas for it. Now, I get to my big thanks.
I would like to immensely thank the guys from the Dice Like Thunder forums, especially users Consadine, Max the Dog and BDJV, for giving me some advice of how to get my blog known.
Thank a BUNCH.
