Rumors on the new GW paint - including handouts by GW on 3/24/12 and pictures!

Just saw a rumor up on Reddit.  Some more info on the upcoming paint release. 

From redditor Psynixx. 

-New paint line will be revealed on March 24th
-Will go on sale around April 7th
-There will be a old to new paint conversion chart in the April WD
-GW store will handout "paint cards" on the 24th. they are about the size of a playing card with a 'evy metal painted model on one side and on the back a list of the base, wash and layer (sometime glaze too) used to paint various parts of the model


Looks cool to me

Bay Area Open 2012 - Day Two Pictures

I had some difficulties getting the pictures off of the camera I used, so I am a bit late to the party on pictures from the Bay Area Open, that was held on March 3-5, 2012.  

I have not included any pictures from the narrative event that I played in, I am saving those for a separate post so that I can include some kind of a description as to how the game went, and my thoughts.  This is just a "picture dump" of all of the great looking toy soldiers and games on display that day.

Painting Thunderwolf Calvary - Part 5

As you can see from the pictures I've almost finished up my Thunderwolf unit.  When I run them in an 1850 I only needed 4, though I thought I might as well do 6 so I can have some options.  This is one of the first armies I've actually painted above an 1850 so that I do have choices later on. 

I need to add some decals and also clean up some of their armor where my brush didn't quite go where it was supposed to.  The purity seals need a bit of more and their weapons need some highlighting.  I should be done completely with these guys either tonight or Tuesday.  I've been rushing these guys so I can get in some games with them on Saturday(3/24/12).  My local GW is having a secret "event" that day (as if we all don't know it's the launch of their new paints) and I want to finally be able to put these guys on the table.  Once you go fully painted, it is really hard to go back to bare plastic...

 I also finished up another unit of Grey Hunters, and some replacements for the power fists I am replacing in the other units.
