Speed painting Calith Reavers – AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog
https://advanceop.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/speed-painting-calith-reavers
AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog. Speed painting Calith Reavers. Date: June 18, 2015. Given my painting pace has been going so well I decided to add Calith Reavers to my list for the Conquest of Kings event. However, I didn’t assemble them till Tuesday, only 5 days before the Sunday event. So, painting was going to be a challenge. Then it struck upon me how I might “speed paint” them using Army painted spray cans I already own. This time, once dry the model was masked up with some masking tape, covering the base, ...

AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog. Keep those Panzers Rolling. Date: August 5, 2015. Its been far too long between posts but the good news is I have been too busy painting and playing games! We picked the Firestorm Lorraine. Mini campaign as two of the core players have Germans, and two Americans, and this location saw some of the biggest German vs American Tank battles during WWII. Looking at the lists available and based on the experience from our last campaign in Caen. The camoflage is a lot faster to apply and ...

Sold a Septopus – AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog
https://advanceop.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/sold-a-septopus
AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog. Date: July 15, 2015. Painting my Orsund Cavalry for Hadross (Wrath of Kings) I discovered it has 7 arms, not 8! I’ve been sold a septopus! I wanted to be able to dual use the Orsund Kraken as a Kraken in D&D and the like so magnetised the rider so he could be easily removed. This also means he can be removed for transport reducing the breakage chances on that trident. Basic paint scheme for this one is…. Base coat Chocolate Brown 70.872. Dry brush leather brown 72040. The Temple o...

Driven to Distraction! – AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog
https://advanceop.wordpress.com/2015/08/15/driven-to-distraction
AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog. Date: August 15, 2015. There has been a big gap in my regular posting here, and that’s largely due to the fact of recent times I’ve been playing many different games, and haven’t been focused on one particular game. In hobby terms this has me hopping all over the place doing a little bit of Bolt Action, a little bit of Flames of War, etc. without really completing anything! However, I now have deadlines! Fortunately the last event I attended. View all posts by AdvanceOp. You are c...

Succession of Kings – AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog
https://advanceop.wordpress.com/2015/06/23/succession-of-kings
AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog. Date: June 23, 2015. One of the contributing factors to my slow down in posts recently has been Wrath of Kings. As mentioned in my Calith Reaver. Speed painting post, I’ve been busily churning out a skirmish level army with a week to the event. While Succession of Kings was last Sunday, and through a mammoth effort I managed to finish the whole army, display base, and objectives. My Carcharian Frenzies taking on the wolves of Goritsi. Overall, for a Kickstarter I bought for the mo...

Trolls – AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog
https://advanceop.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/trolls
AdvanceOp's Hobby Blog. Date: August 6, 2015. As I sit in a local cafe, bloggin’ and waiting for my car to be serviced I realize that I don’t have to restrict myself to just current projects! Perhaps I can update this blog more regularly with some blasts from the past. If you’ve been following me on Twitter your probably seen these trolls before. Today’s throwback Thursday is from last years Scars of Caen campaign by Privateer Press for WMH. Almost exactly a year in fact. Next up a Troll Impaler. The Sti...
