Orc and Goblin Rogue Idol Forge World
This was an undertaking and the 2nd largest single model I did. I wanted to make is feasible to use him in a standard orc and goblin army and different from any other idol out there. So if you notice the arms move....yeah they move lol. The base is also inside a 4x6 so he can be removed and stands on a single 50mmx75mm, yup he is going to be my giant. The mushrooms, endless shades of grey, and flock all match my standard orc and goblin units. I know its alot of grey but I sweat I did 4 base coats with black, then mudd, then sephia washes. Then 3 grey shades of highlighting. You can see it in the model but not in the photos, hopefully this guy comes out with my night goblin army next year!

Battle Board 2013
This is one of the last photos of the board which is 90% complete at this point. Lava effects are on the 2nd layer and the hills come off. There are three positions with the hills facing each other, in the middle for king of the hill, and then each building can be put in opposite corners. Two of the views are shared along with the castle corner with lava mote and the central lava pit!

Sword of Shannara
My next Commission project is to make a full size 25mm replica of this D&D image from a text Sword of Shannara. The Sword of Shannara is a 1977 epic fantasy novel by Terry Brooks. The first book of the Original Shannara Trilogy, it was followed by The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara. Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and historical adventure fiction, Brooks began writing The Sword of Shannara in 1967. It took him seven years to complete, as he was writing the novel while attending law school. After being accepted for publication by Ballantine Books, it was used to launch the company's new subsidiary, Del Rey Books. Upon its release, The Sword of Shannara was a major success and the first fantasy paperback to appear on the New York Times bestseller list. Its success provided a major boost to the commercial expansion of the fantasy genre.

Chaos Dwarf: Standard Bearer
Like the title says its a standard bearer I converted up from a banner, plasticard pole, old bull centaur, some 20mm tight conversion work, and a chaos shield! Then Got some profile pics of him in new horde movement trays and the Hobos in their horde movement tray. The Infernal guard are now 30+ models and Hobos are 40+ and I think I can get the Hobos up to 50. Enjoy!

Chaos Dwarfs: Destroyer
Just a few pictures of a converted destroyer. Converted it from an Ultraforge War Demon and used the arms and hands from the GW BloodThirster. The right hand axe is from an old ugly Ogre model. All of the blue flame is green stuff around joints and fur. The head is a combination of the Zombie Dragon head and the skull bit from a Chaos Hellcannon. The tail piece is the whip from the bloodthirster kit also.
This is another picture of my Bale/Bull Taurus with the newly painted rider. He is a classic piece and I still need to glud the chaos shield on his arm.

RockCon 2013
Here are some good Pics of Paul, Ray, Brandon, and Miel at Rockcon. If you look careful you can see a handful of other players throwing down games in the background. I had a great time up north in Rockford, Illinois and need to get my battle report together! Can't Wait until next year! And just for your information Miel won Best Overall with Empire, Myself with Best Painted and Chaos Dwarfs, and there was a best General Award but I can't remember off hand who got that.

Flatcon Tournament Best Sports!
With a thousand point wrap up coming I threw down against some great opponents. Going 2-1 I won against Dwarfs and Warriors of Chaos, but consequently lost to Skaven! My list is here; I took a small block of Chaos Dwarfs and Hobgoblins alongside a death shrieker and hellcannon, plus a level 1 daemonsmith with lore of death and 3 bull centaurs.
My first game I had a great turn 1 with all my artillery hitting and then my hellcannon failed its leadership check and lurched forward. I was then counter charged by several skaven units and then followed up being overrun by the skaven warlord who killed my Hellcannon in one round of combat.
WoC game 2:
Game 2 was a win versus WoC with my cannon misfiring, eating the crew, and then getting frenzy and hatred and rampaging across the board through his general's unit and a regiment of Warriors of Chaos.
Game three saw my bull centaurs tear through 2 blocks of Dwarfs.
Went 2-1 and got best sports out of 8 players!
