40k Terrain - Mechanical Warhorse Comms Tower

by Novus

I got hold of a Mechanical Warhorse Communication Tower kit at the BAO 2014 and, like nearly all my other hobby projects, got to it long after the fact.  It's an excellent laser cut kit at a very reasonable price.  Paints up really nice, too!

DzC Terrain: Wrecked Bus

by Novus

Still on my Dropzone Commander kick.  More terrain this week!  This time it's a wrecked bus-involved auto collision (we don't say "accident" because that implies there is no one to blame).

DzC Terrain: Overgrown Monument

by Novus

I've dropped 40k for the time being in favor of the excellent Dropzone Commander.  I know 7th is awesome but I need the CSM codex to be reworked before I get back in again.  Hopefully, 2015 will bring that rumored update.

Zone Mortalis Board - Alpha Test

My buddy Myles from the blog There Is Only War bought a laser cutter last year and has been working on various projects with it.  One was cutting the wonderful Bay Area Open branded Omni-Templates that GSI donated for prize support this year.  Another is an amazing Zone Mortalis terrain system.

I'm slowly working through my PHR army and getting it all painted the way I want.  Super quick post today...

Digital Pro 2L Ultrasonic Cleaner! - Product Review

by Novus

I had some terrribad problems with some Army Painter primer recently.  It left the surface of the models with a gritty feel and an uneven finish.  I thought I could work around it and get my army ready for the BAO, but I was very wrong.  That gritty finish made my 10mm scale Dropzone Commander models nearly impossible to make look good, let alone allow me to paint them the way I wanted.  I either had to buy new models or that primer (and all the painting I did up until then) had to go!

Back From BAO 2014

This years Bay Area Open is done.  I didn't get to take as many pictures as the 2014 LVO or the 2013 BAO, but I sure had a great time!
