Massive Terrain Dump

Manhole Covers
Storage Tank
Dam Pump House
Dam Turbine
Mechanicus Memorial Tower

Fallen Powerline

Above Miniature Points: 51 (cancels out terrain section from the previous archive post)
Project Ideas Included Below: 50
Current Point Total: -211

I will have pictures of these guys soon. I did this terrain up for a fellow player of mine from stock on hand and buildings he wanted tweaked. I had initially gathered these materials when I decided not to try to amass a whole table's worth of terrain.

I plan on doing some water effects to make an inner-city water channel. It might count as much as 50 points after all included pieces and the new techniques I'm trying. I should have everything I need to do this project, apart from the water effects, so we'll see how soon this happens.

Warhammer: Age of Reckoning Orc Warboss

Above Miniature Points: 2
Current Point Total: -250

I'm painting this miniature for a friend. It is the Orc Warboss miniature from Warhammer: Age of Reckoning's Collector's Edition. I converted it from it's static pose by standing him atop an Empire Cavalryman that has been unhorsed and stood on. I added the shield shaped like an Orc head, and the scenic base is from cork. Pics as I take them.

Taking Stock

Current Point Total: -250

Here's a listing of my current projects in broad categories, once done they will be stuck through:

Warhammer 40k Heirs of Vulcan: -100 or more
  • 2 Dreadnoughts
  • 3 Land Speeders
  • 1 Land Raider
  • 8 Rhino Chassis
  • Random servitors and characters
Hordes Legion of Everblight: -46


Completed September 2009
Terrain: -51 Completed September 2009

  • Man-hole Covers (6 pts) for Sewer Rats stratagem in Apocalypse, Cities of Death
  • Dam Pump House (5 pts)
  • Dam Turbines (10 pts)
  • Storage Tanks (10 pts)
  • Fallen Powerline Area Terrain (5 pts)
  • Downed Aquila Lander (15 pts)

RPG/Random Figs: -50.5 pts


So I have at least 200 points to paint before I get to buy anything else. Small Fimo one-offs are always helpful, but I don't want to rely on that to get me anywhere when I'm under such a mountain of stuff.
Current Point Total: - 1,000,000

I don't rightly know how many miniatures I have to paint. However, here's how I'd like to document my projects:

-Picture of Original or Assembled Miniature
-Choose a Color Palette
-Explain Techniques (if using a new one)
-Work-in-Progress Pictures
-Finished Pro Shot

Techniques will be coming from the Cool Mini or Not book. I'm going to start at drybrush and move up from there. Let me know if there are any techniques you'd like to see me try.
