Terrain Day and Final Results!!!

   Well, we've come to the end of painting week. Soon we shall all be wandering off our separate ways to create trouble elsewhere. But, before we go, I wanted to share with you the pics from Terrain Day and the final results of the official tally of the First (Annual) Painting week.
   Almost everyone was able to show up today to add in some lovely scatter terrain. Merrick gave us some awesome street lights, a fire hydrant, and that darling hot dog cart. From Second Class Elitist comes... all the stuff that's holding trash, and that cool little pod. TGC made the first of a set of really cool craters she found at AAA Hobbies on our morning excursion, and I made a few pieces of small sci-fi scatter as well as a large power conduit (that's going to power some other scatter terrain I haven't finished yet).

   ...But then I said, "Bah! Pittely stuff!" Look, scatter terrain is the spice of life, but you could be at it all year and not fill a table or get massive points to finish out Painting Week. So I decided to break out the big brushes and up the ante, and voila! Take a look at this big, beautiful hunk of Deadzone building!

   Boom! Instant 30 points. Well, okay, not instant, there are actually a lot of hours in that thing, all line shading and stuff. But boy is that a way to finish out a Paintcation! That oughtta throw me way out in the lead... or so you'd think...
   But, you'd be wrong, because then the Queen of Drybrushing walks in, yawns at me in that ho-hum tone of voice, and does this in about an hour and a half:

   Yup, that's about a hundred tiles of Dwarven Forge, folks. An entire limestone cavern, complete with nasty green muck. Gorgeous, isn't it?

   So that's how it's done, folks. That concludes today with Merrick showing up at the last minute for 4 points, 2CE completing a respectable 12, me finishing a whopping 40 points, and TGC waving her magic wand (read: drybrush) and turning out a truly spectacular 105 points- essentially, an entire table... that just has to get played on asap.

   So there you have it, folks. The final totals for the week are as follows (didn't I keep telling you TGC would pull a rabbit out of her hat at some point? You didn't believe me, did you?)

Belgarath 97- 1 point

Merrick- 4 points

Second Class Elitist- 46 points

Ali Alcatraz- 67 points

Token Gamer Chick- 126 points

For a club total for the week of 244 points! 

   Now that's how you knock off some points and get some models done! Good job all! I hope everyone had a wonderful Painting Week. There are, of course, many more wonderful minis to be done, as well as review articles to highlight some of the gems we painted this week, but I'd say we got a truly spectacular amount of work done, while still enjoying some shopping, grilling, gaming, and having an all-around good time. I hope you enjoying watching the shenanigans. Thank you to everyone who stopped by for Google Chat, and stay tuned for the Sunday news, coming to you early... like tomorrow, because we are almost all leaving for the weekend. Ta-ta!

Dwarven Forge Breaks the $1M Mark!

     It seems like just yesterday we were talking about this project breaking $825K... when in reality it was all of four days ago.  In four days Game Tiles picked up another $200K, and Dwarven Forge had to add another stretch goal! The question isn't "if" that one will fall, but "when" and "what comes next?"

One Week left for GameTiles Kickstarter!

     There's one week to go for the Dwarven Forge Kickstarter, and there's just under $80k to go to hit the final stretch goal of one million dollars.  Can it get there? Have you pledged up?  If not, here's why you should.

Dwarven Forge Kickstarter surpasses $825k

     Our friends at Dwarven Forge are burying one stretch goal after another.  Can they finish out the two "impossible goals" they have left in the next ten days?  If so, what comes next?

Dwarven Forge crushes Kickstarter Goals!

     The Kickstarter for Dwarven Forge to produce their new "Game Tiles" range of modular dungeon walls is simply off the charts.  For RPG fans the advantages of this project is obvious. For TTG fans- this is your new dungeon/sewer/catacomb table.  Let's look at how further stretch goals are adding even more to your purchase.

Dwarven Forge Kickstarter- Your New Dungeon/Sewer Table!

     So we've covered urban terrain... but what if you want to do an good, old-school dungeon crawl?  Hunting down Necromutants in a Dark Citadel?  Searching the sewers and catacombs under Spinespur?  Hunting Abominations in the catacombs and undercities of Steampunk Victoria? Maybe you're getting ready to invade the fabled Lair of Medusa in Godslayer?  Got a game of Dungeon Ball ready?  Then look no further than this new kickstarter from Dwarven Forge.
