Well this weekend is the War of the Roses tournament that I am attending. Looks to be a great tournament for my second tournament ever with over 100 people turning out. Have just seen the tournament first round match ups and I can not believe it. I am pitted against the player I started against at my last tournament, the Jolly Toys event held at Warhammer World. What are the odds!!!!!!
I am playing with my Space Wolves and that is all I am saying at the moment. I shall reveal my list and so forth next week after the tournament. But here's fingers crossed I can do better than last time. I think I now have quite a strong list, it just relies on me playing it correctly, lol.
Well see you again after the weekend.
A warhammer and modelling enduced obsession.

Zombies!!!
Well here are ten done. Not to a brilliant standard but passable for tournament and at a stage I can go back to and put more detail on!
All I am doing is a quick undercoat, then a quick spray with G.W. Rotting Flesh all over then another spray of Vallejo Umber Shade Wash. A bit of colour detail on any weapons and wash then eyes in green and a quick basing. Done.
Should easily be able to finish these buggers off as I have 80 to do! lol
Cya laters.

Making Snow Bases
Well this is another little tutorial on how I make snow bases for my models!
You will need : bicarbonate of soda
PVA glue
optional rock or stone
white paint
So first of all take your decorative rock or stone and PVA glue it to the gaming base of your choice!
Then you take your bicarbonate of soda!
Pour some PVA glue into a pot. A good dollop to start off with.
Then start adding small quantities of the soda powder. Add a couple of drops of white paint also at this stage. You are looking for a stodgy mixture that will stay on the end of your mixing tool.
Take a blob of the snow mixture and place it on your base. I find using my fingers works best here rather than using any tools. Don't worry everything will wash off your hands at the ends. Work the mixture around the rock in this case with your fingers until you achieve the look you want.
Here is a another couple of pics for you and happy painting.

And there you go, as simple as that. A very easy snow base for you to put your miniatures on to and look great. A step further with these base is that you could put a very watered down blue wash over them and then maybe a glaze of varnish to give them a wet and slushy look.
Here is a another couple of pics for you and happy painting.
