Sweet!

Love the dwarf on the aircraft. And new hero casts! Thantos i did a small order a while ago and forgot to get some beastmen!

I shall be right back with that order tonight when i get home from my duties.

That made me laugh. My first though was 'but the aren't green'.

Yesterday I attacked the hex grid side of my chessex battlemat out account of frustration from a bad day. I used one of those cleaning 'magic erasers' to remove the hex grid since I never use it. I already did it on a previous battlemat that had 1-1/2 inch squares in order to make a new one with 3/4 inch squares. It worked perfectly and still erased without any residue at all, even the problematic colors came right off. Ill be doing the new lines for the hexless blank side tonight. Might as well turn a frustrated day into a productive one! :lol:

Good to know that is possible, thanks!

Tis a lot of scrubbing. I did my first one a while back 6+ months and forgot how much effort it actually took to get the lines off. Their mats are really good stuff. You will remove some of the coloring from the mat but if you don't do a linear scrub on every line but change it up or do a whole lot of 'wax on wax off' you won't notice it, unless you specifically look for it. It actually looks like a big mat of leather once its done. When you redo the lines you'll not notice the color changes. I myself don't and I'm anal about it having a uniform color appearance.

Edit: Almost page 100. Who will be the lucky poster?

Got this baby put together. Since I'ts for Super Dungeon Explore where I don't always get to move my own minis, I expect my friends to lift it in the arms or wings and possible drop it repeatedly.
Thus I choose to pin all the limbs. First time I've actually done this. It helped that I actually had some slim brass rods laying around this time.

And as it just happens, I'v just won a haiku competition over at the SDE forum.

King of Dragons fight
Endless army of minions
Protect your treasure

I won a as yet unreleased playmat! So that's pretty cool:

Also working on a new painting. It's actually a second version of a very old painting I did. I've always liked the old one, but my techniques have improved a lot since, so I wanted to see if I could improve what I thought was in itself a good motive.

The old version:
