Father of Plagues


Just finished the Father of Plagues model.

This is a unique piece. One-of-a-kind. On request I can have it signed on the bottom by both artists. And dated.

More pics.

This is for sale. If you want him, you can pick him up off the site or just email or phone me. I can take CC by phone. Or check or MO. Or hard metals. Or trade (see previous post for trade-in rates).

Wind Rider Host


This is an army you can commission. It features a ton of jetbikes and is supposedly one of the hardest armies out there.

All bikes are on metal dowels and have Guardian bodies (from new plastic kits to replace the old crappy conehead-in-a-vest ones). Warlocks and Farseer are converted from plastics and appropriately cool-looking.

Cost is $1950 everything included. Save $100 by giving us license on how they are painted. Nothing lame, we promise.

A deposit of $950 pulls the trigger.

Various Testimonials

Shawn,

Just wanted to let you know the order arrived today and in perfect order with no breakage. Wow the pictures were great but in the flesh as it were they are even better, it’s simply amazing what a great paint job does to what were once tired old out of production models. This will certainly brighten up the look of my High Elves on the table and as soon as funds allow I’ll be calling on your services again. Can i just say what wonderful customer service you guys give, the sort it seems that only fellow enthusiasts can be capable of. Feel free to post these words to the website, if they help to convince one more person to use your services then it’s been worth it. For all those gamers out there that want nicely painted models but lack the necessary skills and or patience to do the work themselves you only need to think of Blue Table really can’t say enough how happy i am with the results. Keep up the great work.

AM

Sydney Australia.

Ok – fire the camera person! Why you say? Because he/she did not do justice to the artist’s work on my Infinity models! I was fooled into thinking they looked very good from the pictures on your site, but they are so much more fabulous in-person, truly! I know Blue Table is really into modding and painting the big armies, but you have proven to me you really care about us little skirmishers too. I won’t hesitate to send more models in the future and recommend you everywhere for the outstanding quality of your work. Thanks so much Blue Table!

Hi Shawn I received the red hunters SM army, there was no damage to any of the models ( thanks Sarah ) I like your take on the Vulkan army lots of infantry models interesting, look forward to trying them out on the table, if i video a batrep in the future some think am looking to do i will send you a link so you can take a look.

Please pass on my thanks to the guys who worked on the army, thanks Shawn.

Jeweled Treasure


This is a collection of miniatures I’ve had stowed away for a few years now. It was a concept army I came up with. It uses mainly Heru from Crocodile Games. They are hawk-headed egyption type warriors. Then using other kits from GW (notably High Elf plastics and Cities of Death bitz) I created this Heru Sky Raiders force.

More pics.

It consists of:
2x Mages
2x Sky Chariots
10x Skyboard Riders (cavalry)
2x Skyboard Heroes
2x Bolt Throwers and crew
3x fillers (mage paraphernalia)
19x Spearmen (with shields and bows)
30x Archers
2x Giant Desert Hawks

This is obviously highly converted, highly themed. I loved this army. But it’s time to move on. It’s on the block for $950. That includes shipping in the US and to select other countries (eg Australia, Europe).

Green to Red


Yesterday was Saturday. All family all day. I baptized my eldest son (eight years old). Family came from all around and we had a late lunch at home. Tamie and her two sisters swooped into the kitchen and started throwing around meat and spices.

That night I took my son out on a special date. OK, so we went to Wal Mart. But that’s where he wanted to go. At the LDS supply store we picked him up a tie tack and a journal. He is a kind and mild-mannered child. Quick to share and to give up his own interests. From the time he was born he was always just happy to be along for the ride.

I also picked up a hardback called Believing Christ. Very good read. It tackles the mother of all issues: grace/justice/mercy/forgiveness between God and Man.

In the parking lot of Wal Mart I picked up a few bags of tamales from a grey market vendor. They were delicious. At first, I was thinking “what’s to say these are safe?” But what’s to say that processed food from a factory is safe? I love the free market. I’ve been working to bring as many as my transactions as possible to a local level; getting my food and supplies local.

So what am I doing at Wal Mart.

I had a dream the other night, about three nights ago. I dreamed that I was taking a swim in a deliciously warm river. The sunlight was golden. The next day the river was frozen, and the air was white with driven snow. I thought to myself “Good thing I took a swim while the weather was warm.”

The next day, reflecting on this, I remember driving up into the mountains in Oregon. There’s a steep road with a cliff to one side. It then dives into old pine forests where there is only a thin ribbon of sky between the tips of the trees, high above. It was about this time of year six years ago.

We pulled up to a terrific new log home way up in the woods. It’s where my father lived the last months of his life. I was there to visit with him the second to last time. He took me out on a balcony and motioned to a new truck down in the dirt driveway. New and big. He told me that he was close to retirement, and had bought the truck only shortly before being diagnosed with cancer. He lamented not being able to enjoy it.

He advised me to live life, enjoy life, and not wait to buy a truck. So to speak. Carpe diem and all that.

Today is Sunday. It was nothing short of delightful. Nope, didn’t do anything. Our church is being held at 1pm now which is infinitely better than 2:30pm. My wife made some chile.

Sweepings

I just realized what is wrong with my vulture demon. I tried to be cool and tricky and shade the pale green with dark blue. It’s off. I’m going to go back and not try to be tricky; shade it with green.

For the studio Fantasy campaign (which may or may not take off) I think I’m going to do Orcs and Goblins. That’s one army I’ve never done.

The Lumina doesn’t burn oil. That was just a slop on the block when the previous owner was trying to top it off. I theorize.

Stepping it Up


More pics of this birdie-baddie. This is only a work in progress.

Today was Paint Fest. Best one ever. Huge turnout, professional presentation and training, awesome spread of Chinese food, and a lot (lot) of painting. I managed to make some serious inroads on this vulture demon for Fateweavers Mk2.

It was a good day, virtually an entire pendulum swing from yesterday: deals working, and good news from the mechanic.

Sure, it would have been great to say, “Hey, anyone want to see the woman who blew the transmission out of our car? Two bits a gander!” But it was better to not get a massive bill. I am joking, of course. Tamie and I don’t hold on to stuff like that.

I am very tired. Worn out. I’ve been sleeping through the night, but only just barely, so I’m about an hour short.

PS- OK, bright and early the next morning…

Salamanders army: Sold

We’re starting a studio Warhammer Fantasy campaign. One of the kind that you start out with a small, probably 500 point force. Renn is the master of that. I’ll probably build up yet another army besides the tzeentch daemons, just to start on equal footing with everyone. What shall it be? Dwarfs maybe. Hmmmm… High Elves!

The Fateweavers Tzeentch daemons army is likely to be painted this coming week. Yay! Those of you following along know this is the second incarnation.

Got the Oceanic Eldar back today. That made my heart sing. Plans for that army include: armorcast revenant titan, more Dire Avengers and a second Farseer. And maybe another squadron of War Walkers. That will definitely do it for that army.

I’m a fan of making multiple armies rather than building a single one up to enormous proportions. Yes, I know I just explained how I was doing just that with the Eldar (at least 4000 pts with those expansions).

Mid-range projects will probably include Orks and a War Machine army. The new FW stuff coming out is just too cool.

If you’re thinking of doing a Skaven army, just keep us in mind. Put us down for it. I am waiting for the army book and new kits to come out, and doing a small test run, before setting up specials for them. But rest assured, the specials are coming! We will definitely order a ton of kits to have them on hand for you.

Too many armies, too little time!
