Japan and painting finished.

        It has been a month. A very long time in Japan. I missed Fall In, Halloween. In my bags sat a Tau army, some 10mm Romans, and 20mm Colonial Brits. I could have painted so much more, but tourist shit, company dinners, and drinking multiple beers didn’t help.

          I did complete the Tau army.

Once back stateside, I will put it up for sale.

The list, 4200+ without all the upgrades

Completed army pictures

Japan and Painting

i-Designs
So slowly the rage and butt hate dies. Only to have gasoline poured on it every time some twat on Facebook opens his bitch mouth.

         Half way thru the trip. I have done more drinking and cigar smoking than painting. Some tourist shit on the weekends doesn’t help the cause. Along with a heavy dose of being lazy.

         What little effort that has been applied has resulted in;
2 SkyRay detachments
1 Rail head Detachment + upgrade
3 Recon detachments + 3 upgrades
2 tiger sharks
1 Objective
          I got me some sun sharks, cudas, 2 objectives, broadsides, 2 detachments of suits as WIP on deck. There is a small chance I will finish this shit before I leave.

Yo yo yo Snitches get Stitches

    

C&D


           I had like a true real post. An update to some shit I was doing. Interesting and all. Then I woke up to some bull shit. Some unnamed fan boy fucktard sold out china forge aka iDesigns to GW. That little bitch sent the fucking catalog to GW legal. 

          Seriously? What the fuck? I am a stock holder and I never said fuck all nothing. What makes a person go and tell? There is no financial reward. There is no bone thrown your way. You are just askin’, askin’ to get scalped.

         What makes it worse is some other asshole to most likely, to get street cred or show how cool he was, give this little bitch the catalog. And further, I am willing to bet the unnamed fan boy fucktard was an AT fucktard. Some little bitch boy who never experienced the initial ass rape GW throw the Epic fan base.

       And now Taccmd is down. Net epic is down.

         So I pray, no prayed to Jesus. Look here sonny, don’t let your boy’s name slip. I am the monster under the bed, the fucker in your closet, the bump in the night.

Cherry Picking "update"

         The number of times I have gobbled up other’s armies and or collections,…..well I got a problem. Like a real problem. Miniatures are worst than Ice climbing ever was. I think a coke problem would be cheaper.

         In actuality, I had always plan on reselling 80% of it. Cherry picking! Yeah I buy someone’s treasure for the 4-5 rare items. In the end it was the quickest way to get all those rarities. It is a dickheadish move. Most likely. Some poor fucker/fuckers would have played with it as is. Which cheats the hell out of a gaming group somewhere that is struggling to establish themselves. So in a rare moment I have to question if this sort of bullshit cherry picking, as helps kill the hobby. Its a grand a day coke habit, fuck it, we all know I can’t stop!

Earlier this year I bought another Tau army. The price was cheap enough I could rape the treasure it was by parting it out. I am balls deep for 635 after shipping. 215 days later I have managed to sell 290.00 dollars.

75 for the Ocra
125 for the Mantra
30 for the Cuda
60 for 6 HammerHeads

         The rest of the army. Well, was half painted and painted like shit and a 1/3rd still in the bag. Sorry poor guy that did it. I am sure it was spectacular in your minds eye and just never made it there.

          I have or had been unable to sell it as a whole. I am thinking its because it is half assed, half in the bag. With a month blown due to a Japan trip. I will repaint and rebase the whole thing while on the road. I have been there like 7 times. As cool as it is, I have lost the interest. Maybe I will climb Fuji-san. Hoping with a fully painted army to cash in on the sale. Xmas is coming. Some chicken head will need to get her man a proper present.

           The whole thing has been primed home depot grey and washed with zombie shader. This was done pre load out.

          The only additional items added on to it will be 3 custom objective markers, 10 stands of kroot, and a group of sun something or other fighters.

Mold life & dremels

         I am a big Smooth-On fan. It was easier when you could order direct, more selection, less bullshit. Now there is Amazon. It has the common stuff. It is cheaper and no shipping charges and two day delivery. Means not having to keep an extra couple of set kicking around.

          These molds are OO rubber and about 6 years old. They have kicked out about 7-11 casts. Most one parts last forever. The square building should have been a two part mold.
         As time passes, I started mounting the flat masters to Plexi. 
not OO rubber
Stand by……3……2……1
Right, wrong, legal, illegal……Don’t care bro
         Knowing that your mold will die over time presents a question of keeping the masters, or creating copies and selling the masters, or using the masters along with your casts?
         I keep a near original mint set for masters. Mostly because I never got them when they were available and I will always want more and more.
         Now that the mold are reaching the end of their lives, I am increasing the abuse. No longer do I have access to LN2. I want weird and strange casts coming out of them. I am pouring different casting materials into them, cocking the mold at extreme angles. The cast is smashed and further the abuse with a dremel.
plaster, resin, dentstone
No real plan for what they will look like in the end. Whatever they become. They will have mold made.

Adeptus Titanius.

         I got the rules kit and the big old box of terrain. Downloaded some stl files. Ordered up some filament. Now I got to get home and get to printing. Just terrain no titans. I have firmware titans. I am not buying the new shit. What legio?

          Once I get the rules hopefully there is a way to represent the small crews, black core, small tactical maniples.

The Black Iron Cores seemed to channel the knowledge and experience of fallen Titan crew-members with far more reliable results than the crude foresight displayed by the Eminarii Battle-Automata, allowing the crew to harness a level of skill, co-ordination and tactical prowess that transcended the training of any single Princeps. This new technology allowed the Legio Xestobiax to operate its Titans with less crew than its counterparts from other Legions of the Legio Titanica. Yet the use of Black Iron Cores and the psychic energy they generated also had its drawbacks. Examinations of fallen Legio Xestobiax God-engines and captured pict-records of their crew would reveal that these altered Titans were prone to a variety of bizarre phenomena: mass hallucinations of the crew, violent and unexplainable poltergeist activity and even temperature variance within the Titan’s hull, especially within those compartments relatively close to the Black Iron Core’s operation.

 Purple/blue and white easy enough.

I am starting off with 2 Reavers and a Warhound. Thats what I took with me. I will have to update the Warlord next month.

Epic 30K IFs

         It all started with me wanting Centurions. I needed more Termies too. But I think I will be playing Tau at Fall In……..Hmmmm……Almost ordered Centurions. And I had the IFs’ character dude from the Italian. So A.D.D. kicked in and this is what I ended up with. Maybe 30K IFs will be coming. Noon! I need to finish the 30K WEs.

         More A.D.D. (no 20mm colonial progress) and I was sitting looking at them. Those 3D printers that were mothballed when I left for Argentina. 4ish years later and the proper prayers, 9 beers, and the use of the company laptop, the FABtotum came to life.

         Feed problems. Got them straighten out just before bed, when the beers run out. The next one was much better. I just need to find the infill within the gcode. Maybe I should reread the manual?
         The other one. The liquid resin is being a pain in the ass. It refuses to see the USB or the wireless. So she will sit while I get the filament one mastered. Then I’m going mount that mule like a cheap lot lizard.

White Dwarf and Adeptus Titanicus

        AT is due out soon. I got a hard on for it. I also have zero fucking patience. What do I do? I drive across Santa Clara to get the new White Dwarf. It heavy and lovely. Bad ass cover art work. Which is nothing more than a bow on a pig. Or a turd is this case.

Taken from this issue

          Maybe I drink too much and my mind is turning to shit. I remember WD being better than avg. I mean it had enough meat in side to make you read it some where other than while taking a shit. The articles were ok and interesting and you felt like you learned something.

        White dwarf totally blows. It is a complete fish wrapper. The articles are 150-175 words long. Increasing the type size is a high school trick. Didn’t actually count that shit but its close. They are written for a demographic that stupid and mentally retarded.

         What is worse? In the current WD they show you what WD use to be. And just so we are comparing apples to apples. The two picture above are from the launch of AT way back when and the two below for this relaunch. Both set are the first battle report also.

        The rest of that shit show fish wrapper is advertisement for other GW shit. Like 30 pages of ads, 20%. 20% of advertisement to your lock in market share. Not advertising to gain new market share, or to spark interest, or inform those who don;t know.
