Episode 6 Return of the Fly Guy



In my spare time, when I'm not doing the things that I really enjoy doing, I mold young minds. No, I don't use clay. I'm talking actual minds. As crazy as it seems, I am a teacher and one of the stories that my students read is a series about a fly name Fly Guy. 


All the ladies love me

Episode 5 The Paintbrush Strikes Back


A long time ago, in an LGS far, far away a gamer was rolling dice and moving tiny metal elves around a table. It was a joyous time. The the dark forces that been changed the rules for the elves and the gamer some eff this crap, put the models in their foam, and placed them on a shelf in the basement. As tragic and rage filled as this ending was, it proved to be the beginning of something else. Later, as I walked around the store wondering what to do I saw . . .

Episode 4 A New Hopelessness


Who wants to come here for vacation?

I thought I was living in New England, but it feels more like North Carolina. Seriously, this morning was 72 degrees F at 7am with a dew point at 70 degrees. I felt like I was back in Jacksonville, NC. It's been like this for days and it doesn't look like it's going to let up. I used the weather as a lame excuse for not painting last week and I'm going to use it again this week. However, I have set up a makeshift spraying box in my kitchen. I am going to prime the succubus it there, but with the humidity being what it is I'm not going to open any windows. I don't want to fumigate my house or get my daughter high with the fumes. I will have her primed today and maybe get some paint on her tonight when my daughter goes to sleep. 

So to fill the gap I'll walk you through my Nephilim Protector conversion. This one was much easier to do the the Soldier.

Episode 3 Revenge of the Nyss


New England . . . if you don't know is a collection of states in the northeast corner of the United States. If you don't know there are six of them. It is cold in the winter, warm in the spring and fall, and can be downright disgusting in the summer. Currently we are in what we consider a heatwave. The temperature has been 85+ for more than a week, which wouldn't be all that bad if the humidity didn't make the air feel like a wet sponge. These are not ideal conditions for spray priming or seal models. So painting has had to take a backseat to other endeavors. 

What does all this mean for today's episode? We get to take a look at the Nephilim that I have been converting.

Episode 2 Attack of the Clippers



A long time ago (a really long time ago), I bought my first album. Yes, I said album. It was large, black vinyl disc by the band Kiss. Who is Kiss? Who is Kiss? Oh, let me educate you.


Who stole my pajamas?
This was also in the time before iTunes and the world of music was ruled by the all powerful Columbia House Music Club. look it up. Why do I bring up such an archaic band. The base player for the band (the pretty one on the far right) was a man named Gene Simmons. He had a habit of sticking out his tongue and dressing in leather with bat like wings under his arms. He is a very ugly man, rich, but butt ugly.

Which brings me to this weeks topic . . . the Legion of Everblight Succubus.

Episode 1 The Phantom Menance

Snoopy meets Darth Vader, best logo I could come up with on short notice. A better one is in the works.


Swonkob: We're going to be doing a blog.

Dark Lord of Puppies: Yeah.

Swonkob: It will cover lots of games and aspects. You want to contribute.

DLoP: Sure.

The immortal words of someone with lots of good intentions and very little time. This will hopefully be a weekly series of articles covering my hobby progress. There is an overabundance of unpainted, unassembled, and nigh neglected models scattered in various locations around my house. I have plenty of Retribution of Scyrah and Legion of Everblight models from Privateer Press's Warmachine and Hordes games to keep my busy for a while. 

What will we be working on . . . find out after the jump.
