BFG Gaming Session

I am planning on a BFG gaming session at 630 pm on Tuesday night on July 20th at the FTW game store. If you have a fleet and know how to play, great; bring 500 pts. If you don't learn how to play, no problems. Bring what you have or I'll lend you some models. I'll help you learn to game.

BFG resources: Rules and Fleet lists can be found here and

How to inflict damage


Update: Space tables at FTW Games, just waiting for us

Chart for Paint equivalents

I have really become a fan of Vallejo paints, they dilute very well and are easy to handle. FOr those who are nervous about variability here is a paint equivalent chart for GW and Vallejo.

Chart for GW to Vallejo Game Color and Model Color

Edit: I knew a found another list somewhere, here it is, has reaper, P3, coat d arms and rackam. Not all are exact matches, but if you are trying to match something you have seen on the webs it should be a good place to start.

"New" Packaged Releases

So along with the "new" wargs some repackaged dunlendings came out. One may now order them w/shield, with bow or with a 2 handed weapon in 3 pack blister that are direct order only. Could this be due to a generic plastic wild men or plastic dunlending release coming? On another note, they are relatively cheap for a 3 pack, only $13.25 US. Probably one of the cheaper 3 packs available.

Paper Building

Here is a link to making paper buildings, including a bridge, and fortress walls and gate.

As an addendum:
Here is a link to some basic harad or desert style buildings, although they have a lot of stonework on them.

Remember, most of these are scaled to 25mm, not the heroic "28" (really 32) that fantasy and 40K fall under.

40K MMO coming out

There I said it....and I feel dirty.

Here is a little taste, view the trailer....

Painting tips

Aristo asked today where I read about painting tips and tricks.
Here are some of the websites:

The Painting Corps updates almost daily and links to a number of other sites.

The Painting Clinic is great for all the basics.

Terra Genesis is all about terrain...go figure.

This is a commercial page selling how to DVD's but still has some good tips.

Awesome Paint Job has a large number of useful videos and some good looking products.

Dakka Dakka has a huge collection of articles on many many topics.

Of course Cool Mini or Not is also a great site with a lot of articles.

And I forgot Massive Voodoo, which has a great blending article.

Well, that is about it, if anyone has any others please let me know and I will post.

Chance to win and donate to DWB

Santa Cruz Warhammer is raffling off a fully painted army. Painted by them, and if you have seem their work it is amazing. Each dollar gets you a single entry, the winner gets the fully painted Storm Wardens Space Marine army. They then donate all the proceeds to Doctors Without Borders. I guess it's win win then.
Here is a link to the details.
