REVIEW: Secret Weapon Miniatures Trench Works Basing Kit

Pic taken from Secret Weapon Miniatures

My new Alpha Legion army needed some suitably gritty bases.  Enter Secret Weapon's Trench Works kit.

WIP: Star Wars X-Wing

Look what I picked up while I was in Tokyo!

WIP: Hey look, it's my Alphas again

Actually made a bit of progress on my first squad this week. Planning to get these done (except basing) by Sunday night.

RECAP: Dreadknight MVP!

A few pictures from our latest battle, featuring Deet's butt stompin' Dreadknight.

WIP: Alpha Legion Progress

I've finally settled on my colors and am getting after painting these guys in earnest.  

WIP: Tyranid venomthropes

Finally getting around to making the new thrope kit!

Games Workshop: Tokyo

As mentioned in last week's post, I had the chance to stop by the GW store while in Japan!

WIP: The Frustrating Alphas

Work and family have not been cooperative with my hobby time of late. It doesn't help that I'm really struggling with these Alpha Legion guys. Just not coming out how I want, and that makes me a lot less interested in sitting down at the table to paint.

Travel: Tokyo

I'm currently traveling in Japan with my family, showing off my son to the in-laws and enjoying the annual cherry blossoms. How pumped does that kid look to be in Tokyo? Amirite?!

I had the chance to stop by the games workshop store in Tokyo, at the famed Nakano Broadway mall. Although real estate is at a premium everywhere in Tokyo, the store still offered a full range of products for sale, a hobby station and a table for scheduled games.

I was temped to pick something up, given the strength of the dollar against the yen, but decided against it - trying to keep that tide in check, you know? ;)

ANNOUNCEMENT: H.O.W. Expanding Its Scope- Brony Time!

After two plus years in the 40K hobby, Trip and I have decided to rededicate the site. Sure, we're still going to do Grimdark, but we're going to add a weekly feature on what really brought the two of us together: time to get our Twilight Sparkle on!
