WIP Wednesday: Campaign Prep Paint-a-rama!

Welcome to WIP Wednesday! We've got a lot of work we need to do, so here goes the list on our painting tables to prep for our two campaigns!

One More for the Cabinet: Bombshell Miniatures M4R1A Bot

Okay, so, I have a ton of models I need to finish up for the campaign(s) LXG is getting ready to drop. So, it makes sense the first model I finish of the New Year is one of those, right?  Not a chance.  See, I got ahold of the Metropolis inspired figured from Bombshell, and, well, everything else has to wait.

The LXG Painting Board

   Ok, most of you probably know by now that we have a "painting board" at LXG Headquarters. For those of you who haven't seen it, it is, quite simply, a dry erase board with a spreadsheet containing the members of our club, and the models we own for each game that need to be painted. The numbers are points which are allocated as follows, quoting Second Class Elitist (2CE) from his New Year's Eve Resolutions article: "Our points system is based on model base size: 25mm/30mm is 1, 40mm or cavalry is 2, 50mm is 4, and vehicles are 10. Terrain is based on similar numbers, but with a lot more leeway to trying to figure them out."
   Since 2CE brought up New Year's Hobby Resolutions, and he and I both made painting related ones, I think it's high time we enforced some culpability on this painting board by letting you, our readers, periodically see our progress. To that end, I am showing you the Painting Board as it stood at midnight, December 31st, 2014. I will then introduce to you any changes we are making to the painting board for 2015, and try to post an update article periodically to let you know how things are progressing.

Finding My Hobby: Hobby Resolutions

Here in America, not sure about elsewhere in the world, it is tradition to make a resolution to change something in our lives for the positive.  Common resolutions include losing weight, quiting smoking, treating myself better, etc.  When I worked for GW we used to make hobby resolutions.  In that vein, I'm going to put down my hobby resolutions in writing for you to hold me accountable to.  So here we go...

Zombie of the Month- Year in Review 2014

   Well, zombie lovers, we've come to the end of our first wonderful year of Zombie of the Month! My apologies for missing February, but with most months being entire sets, we still have plenty of lovely zombies out there to add to your collection, if you so choose.

Psyche of a Gamer: Hobby Resolutions

It's the New Year, and there's one thing that this time of year always brings about:  Resolutions.  They're a natural extension of the change of the calendar, and many people use them in their Hobby as well.  Here's a quick look at how, why, and how not to make them.

Campaign Contest Results!!!

Happy 2015 everyone! It's a New Year, we have a New Campaign, and a New Prizewinner!!!  Can you get much cooler than that?
