Goblin Hobbies Stamping Kit First Attempt

I recently purchased the Goblin Hobbies Stampin' Kit after seeing the ads and how-to videos online. Brent from Goobertown Hobbies made it look super easy and I thought this could be the answer to painting clean Lamenters shoulder pads and eliminating the need for decals on other models. When the kit arrived, I gleefully started stamping some paper napkins in my kitchen. My early stamps weren't that great, but it was on paper and I was recklessly splogging nail polish everywhere so I wasn't worried about neatness or finesse or my success. After watching a few more tutorials and some nail art tutorials, I made some earnest attempts to make some new battleshock counters for my Blood Angels. This is how it went.  As you can see, I didn't get the same awesome results as the showcase videos. I fiddled sounds for about an hour until the acetone fumes got to me, and despite my best efforts, I wasn't getting clean prints, even on these flat wooden counters.  Obviously, I str...

Honored Brother Vici

This is my only non "character" model in my new Blood Angels Captain army (it has 23 characters) but I feel this battle brother was a Captain before he was interred in a dreadnought.  My friend Chase, who is an amazing player, loves my list and is building his own version. However, he's breaking the meme a little bit more and is strategically using a repulsor instead. 0

Lord Commander Dante, formerly of the 5th Company

Lord Commander Dante has entered the area of operations. I'm really glad I've decided to rebase my blood angels models. I think they look so much better on the snow, winter, arctic, tundra bases. #Warhammer40k #bloodangels40k #bloodangels #armageddon40k 

The Sanguinor has arrived!

  Who, or what, is the mysterious being, called the Herald or the Sanguinor, who arrives only in his brothers' greatest hour of need? The Sanguinor is shown here on my first arctic base, and I'm very pleased how he turned out, except for the wings. #Warhammer40k #bloodangels40k #sanguinor #bloodangels #astartes

New Snow Bases

I haven't been happy with how my goblin green bases on my retro Blood Angels look. I think they are too bland and I've been searching for another solution where I wouldn't have to completely rebase the entire army. I've always wanted an arctic themed army (winter GI Joe's were some of my favorites) so I've been testing some options and I think I've settled on this base as my favorite. I'll use wet mud to cover the green sand. Then apply a light coat of static grass and larger rocks, followed by a coat of Terrains Snow and a few Ice Sparkles. Normally, I'm a big fan of Vallejo or MIG products but the Vallejo snow looked like cottage cheese, I couldn't get my hands on MIG basing effects, and the powder bits from Woodland Scenics or Army Painter don't look good in the tubs so I didn't bother spending the cash to try them out.  Let me know what you think!  #miniaturepainting #miniaturebases
