Tutorial: Armored Greatcoat

Here is a quick tutorial on how I made the armored greatcoat. 

Materials needed:

Milliput (yellow grey)

Super Sculpey (Firm)

No hole glass glitter beads

And sculpting tools

First I mixed equal parts of the milliput mix together with Sculpey. This creates a nice compound that is easy to work with and hardens well.
After that was all mixed I pressed the putty flat in between some parchment paper and cut into a nice long strip with my blade and ruler. Carefully I set the strip on the mini and tap it down into place with sculpting tools, being watchful not to cause and dings.
For each panel I simply make a small knife line and used the sculpting tools to fix the shape I wanted.
Now the hard part, placing the beads into place. Since these are so very small and have a static cling to them, the simplest way I found is to use a moistened toothpick to pick each on up and set them into place.

Once the putty is cured you can go back and glue any beads that have slipped off.

Paint night.

A new Game shop has opened up locally here. So, we decided we had better break it in properly and throw a paint night. It was a little short notice, and the same day as a WarmaHordes tourney at another local shop, but we still had 8 people show up for it. I had a blast myself and cant wait to do another one soon.

Late night WarmaHordes Tournament.

Well, the local PressGanger decided it was high time we had a night time Warmahordes Tourney at our local shop. It was a basically a standard 35 point SR2011, using the death clock variant.  I usually avoid tourneys but this one sounded to be good fun, which indeed it was! There was a great turnout from all over the state, and even a few from just out of state. (24 total) Cryx, Legion and Protectorate rounded out the top 3 spots respectively, with myself coming in at 17th with my Cryx................yeah, Im that bad. :)

Thundercliff peaks Painting competition

Well, our local WarmaHordes league officially ended this last Thursday, and we finished things off with a paint contest from those who played league games. It was really nice to see turn out for the competition and I hope they get bigger and more competitive each time.

The pics I was able to snag of each piece basically kinda suck but you ought to get the idea anyway.  Two of my good gamer buddies took First and second with  Moshar and Skaldi Respectively, and I snuck into third with Cassius. Hopefully I can snap some better quality photos of him in a day or so.
