Sentikanz... continued

So my work on the Sentinel Kanz continues... from now I'm going to call them Sentinkanz. So far I filmed 5 out of 6. There is a sixth one, but I got couple bits to do. When I lay some paint on them I will update you as soon as possible. So far, here's another clip:

Tell me what you think about those clips. And leave comments on the Sentikanz below...

Thanks!

Killa Kans conversions

Some time ago I acquired three Sentinels and 3 Killa Kans, all in boxes all untouched. For couple months they waited for me to convert them into Killa Kans with Sentinel's legs. But when I got the sprues out on the work top and noticed they are fully poseable I went for six weird looking Kans. Here are the first two:

Please tell me what you think by leaving comments below. I quite like them and they will look much better when I get them painted!

Also, what do you think about little clips like that? Should I keep making them? I recently bought myself a nice new camera and I can, which is half way there right? 

Burn!!! Loot!!! Paint!!!

Ha! I did get your attention with the post title didn't I? Well it has a bit to do with the content of the post. I have been busy painting my orks today and that's what I painted:

I know they are not perfect, but it took me something around 6 hours to paint them. Unfortunately they were all assembled. So some detail has not been painted. But I'm not bothered too much about that. I want my models nicely painted on the tabletop and that's what I get over here.

Also, I tried to limit my colour palette... it didn't work. Just look at how many paints I used. Phew!

As you can see there's lots of pots there. But that's ok, most of them were little details. I tried to keep the paintjob nice and easy, and quick! I think that worked pretty well. What do you think guys?

Dystopian Wars gaming and some other painting projects

As you probably realise I am not much of a gamer recently. I keep building and painting models for myself. I keep painting models for others, but rarely have I got time to actually play the games I love. Recently one game caught my war gaming balls in a clenched fist of pain dealing and I started playing, you guessed it, Dystopian Wars.

I forgot how cool and exciting it is to discover the rules with a mate across the table. You want to do something with a model (move, attack, board) and you don't know how. You both open up the book and look for answers. That is the thing I kept missing from online gaming. Yes, you can chat with people, but rarely there is anything more than insults and jesting there.
I and my mate Mike we spent yesterday early afternoon on cracking Dystopian's rule system. Especially the planes and tiny flyers and how combat works. We had to, unfortunately, have a look on YouTube and watch couple tutorials on the subject and were both disappointed with the quality of tutoring. We decided, the the whole All Along the Watchtower Podcast crew will endevour the making of good quality clips for YouTube that will show beginners how to play this game.

Apart from Dystopian Wars, I have been painting, yes. I started working on 10 Ork Burnas and 8 Lootas and I am trying to finish 9 Squigs for my Orcs. Pictures will follow soon.

Till next time gang!

Prussians and Britanians forces painted!

Below you got two pictures of mine and my mate's battle groups. As I hate playing with unpainted models and I really do want to play some more games of Dystopian Wars I decided to paint those two lots. I'll be honest with you.

Couple things I noticed:
- preparation is everything when working with resin
- clean your models in luke warm water and washing up liquid
- dry fit everything to avoid misplaced parts

Other than that, these models are beautiful! I loved every minute of painting them. Great detail, great design... woof! Awesome.
