Playing in a tourney last week. I was 1 - 1 going into the third (and last) round, so decided to bring the Horsemen list to have some fun since I was not in the running for placing. Opponent took Search the Ruins and Accuse as his schemes. Jump to the mid-Turn 5 - I have activation control, and he has gone with all of his models. He had 5 scheme markers littered around the center, and had accused a Waif that was away from the action. I activate Leveticus and use his 0 AP jump to the Waif, then used the 1 AP and pitch 3 cards to destroy three of his scheme markers (off one of his new upgrades). 4 points of VP denial in one activation. It was fantastic.

My painting has been very distracted this month. I have splashed some, but we will see what gets completed by the end of the month. However, I haven't been completely away from hobbying! I played in a tournament this weekend, and came away with this player board from CustomMeeple as a prize. Hobby time the last couple days has been building and coloring this. I used colored pencils to fill in the numbers and letters. It was only after I had everything glued down that I noticed I swapped the Player 1 and Player 2 boards. D'oh!

With this line of thinking, I definitely suggest the Arachnids. If you do end up getting into Arcanists, you will likely end up with the Ramos box, which comes with 3 spiders as well. If you already have 3 from a small box, it is okay, because Ramos can actually get use out of 6 spiders. By comparison, you will get 3 Fire Gamin in the Kaeris box. Last I checked, she doesn't need more than that.

I love the Riders list! I have had some success with it at various tourneys. Went 1 - 2 at the 2017 Adepticon Story Encounter, and 1 - 1 at another smaller local tourney. All of my losses were close games. The list is pretty versatile and one big tool box, but it takes a few games to unlock. I think spiders were my most common Mech Rider summons. Have fun with it!

Huh... you are right. Not sure how I got so screwed up with my days. Perhaps I was thinking ahead to next week, when my time for painting will be little-to-none.

Here is the picture of my pledge. Need to get cracking! The month is nearly half gone!

My pledge plan for this month will be Hannah and Anna Lovelace, and Talos. Anna is built and I have a start on the paint job that will likely be scrapped. Hannah is built and primed. Talos is still on a sprue. Pictures to come...

Sure thing! I used a "deep dish" base that comes with the Micro-arts base inserts (I jumped in on the KS, so have loads of them). I clipped the edge of one so that I could get the ice ramp rigth to the edge of the base. With the ice ramp in place, I put a thin layer of Milli Put. I ended up with some finger prints in the milliput, so I had to look for something to smooth out the surface. I had some clay working tools from a Green Stuff clinic, and one of them had a small disc at one end (the other end was scalpel shape). I uses the disc to press down. Not only did this smooth the fingerprints out, but it created a wavey kinda look. Once I was satisfied with the waves, I let it cure, then painted as normal. Purple in the deepspots, blue-green on the high spots. A thin layer of blue to tie it all together, then some lighter highlights. After that, it was a resin pour that was very lightly (read: barely) tinted blue.

As promised, here are the pics of my remaining three models - Burt Jebsen, Malifaux Child, Hanged. Burt Jebsen Malifaux Child Hanged I picked up a handy little lightbox. Over all I like it, but am struggling a bit with the light washing some of my colors out. The lightbox came with 4 back drops - Black, White, Red, and Blue. I have mostly used Black and White... I also need to play with my phone camera settings.

This is an odd ball month for me. I am going to meet my numbers, but this will be the first time that I will not fully complete what was pledged at the top of the month. What I have completed are: Amelie Bellerose (8SS) and Ice Dancer (6SS) from my Iron Painter entries. Also, Burt Jebsen (7SS - one model of my original Oct pledge), a Hanged (8SS), and the Malifaux Child (2SS). Total of 31SS. I know, I know. Pics or it didn't happen. Here are the IP collages. Pics of the remaining three to come later.
