Quick Book Review: Skarsnik

I finished this one last night. Great book, 5/5 and 10/10. If you love goblins and specially Night Goblins like me, you will love this one.

It was awesome. Goblins were fun and proper gobbo like you would have them in Warhammer universe. Skarsnik is one badass warlord. The battles were awesome and the tale had satisfying pace going foward. Goblin language was easy to get used to and the greenskins made me smile and grin vickedly while reading this.

Weekend project: Shelf for unfinished miniature stuff

 I had some free plywood laying around and my miniature storage was a mess. So I decided to make a shelf thingie to store my new/unopened/unfinished minis in. I quickly drew up some sketches and went to the tablesaw. After succesfully without losing any fingers I had cut the plywood I clued and screwed them together.
 It fits the 15cm tall GW boxes on the upper level and my six bitz-boxes on the lower level. Sadly it became cat-infested in seconds.
Here is the thing loaded up. Not everything managed to fit in the. I have lots to do. Also this is a sneak peak of my Mordheim Orc warband. The halftrack is a necromunda terrain piece.


Update: I Made it from free plywood that I had laying around, total cost was around 2-3 euros, had to by some screws for.I made it mainly becaude I needed to clean up my hobby-closet and this organized things nicely and I wanted to craft with wood, also I had free materials just hanging around. I also designed it so that I fit my Airbrush station on the top.

Local gaming store turned 27, made them a terrain piece, again.

 So I made this Imperial Guard themed memorial statue for my local gaming store because they turned 27 1st of September. I made the Iguana Bob piece last time.
The Statue has a 40mm square base, the "stone" part is 20x20mm 30mm long piece of pine. The plate is just some 0,5mm plasticard, IG tank guys pinned and super clued to the "stone" part. The pine is screwed and clued to the base.
 Citadel Adeptus Battlegrey on the stone parts and Vallejo Brassy Brass to the rest of this.
 Wash with Citadel Thraka Green and Devlan mud.
Extra wash with Thraka Green and super thinned down Vallejo Falcon Turquoise. Then a coat of Vallejo Satin Varnish, finally added some Army Painter tuft on the base. Done.
