I'm A Winner!!!!

So,

It seems that I have won an award, yes that's right Cursed Treasures fans, we have won the coveted Liebster Award! It seems that a few friends from the Blog sphere have nominated my little space on the old Internet! The basic concept of the award is to recognise fellow bloggers that have less than 200 followers, it also is just a nice way to recognise folks for their blogs.

So first up thanks to the following friends and bloggers:

John over at Plastic Legions, next up Aaron over at Dulce et Decorum Est and Mike at Da Green Skins

Now before my Nominations, the criteria for the award:

1. Copy and paste the award on your blog linking it to the blogger who has given it you.

2. Pass the award to your top 5 favourite blogs with less than 200 followers by leaving a comment on one of their posts to notify them that they have won the award and listing them on your own blog.

3. Sit back and bask in the warm fuzzy feeling that comes with knowing you have made someones day!

4. There is no obligation to pass this onto someone else but its nice if you take the time to do so.  

Now my nominations in no particular order:

Rob Jedis Miniatures Blog

 

I have been following this talented painter for some time now, Robs work just blows me away as you can see from the above picture from his blog. Rob is all over the hobby map, very much like myself and he is a guy that I would love to play against.

Jerry's Big Picture

Jerry is a local gamer and a good friend, besides being a great painter, he is also an author like myself. He self published his book Fates Needle and can be purchased on Amazon. Jerry is an avid miniature gamer and in the last few years he has started to throw the GW shackles off and has branched out to other games.

Chef of War

Jeremy Williams, what can I say about this kid??? Well for starters, he is an awesome chef! I met Jeremy a few moons ago while out at Adepticon, than Jeremy came out to Gathering in the Desert. What caught my eye was his converting and painting of LotR figures. He is a great guy to play against and a all around great guy to just hang out with.

Independent Painters

This blog is run by Wojtek as well as another guy. Wojtek does an amazing job with painting LotR figures and is always worth a look for inspiration. I think one reason I like this guy is that he is Polish, like myself (although 4 times removed).

Blackwarden

I found Scott's blog about a year or so ago and I check in every time I am online. Scott does some amazing work and is pretty focused on fantasy miniatures right now. He is also working on some LotHS stuff and I have to say I approve of his choice in costumes for Halloween.

So there you go, I am passing on the award to a few talented bloggers who would love for you to stop on by...

40k and Pirates

So a few weekends ago I got the bug to play 40K & called my good friend Rob of http://dspaintingblog.blogspot.com/ and we threw down a game of 40k. He brought his Imperial Guard & I busted out my Sisters of Battle. We were going to do a 400 point combat patrol game, but we bumped the points to 1000. We played Capture & Control and Rob went first. The basic run down was that I was able to get my Sisters over to Robs objective and ended up winning the battle.

So before I left for Adepticon, I took a painting commission from my good friend Lonnie. He wanted his Steel Legion Guard army painted. Well I got the army and it was in pretty bad shape, most of the figures had to be stripped, so into a bucket of Simple Green. Here is some of the Legion after they came out of the Simple Green Bath already to be primed.

Also this week I got a package from John over at http://plasticlegions.blogspot.com/ it seemed that he needed a few Cannibals for his One day LotHS game he is running. So I sent him 10 cannibals and a few other bare metal figures, in return he sent me these figures below. There were a few Brigade Minis Pirates (which I did not have), as well as some Gripping Beast Celts to go along with the Wargames Factory Celts.

So there you go another update down...
