Both base and model was then washed with Seraphim Sepia. Faction colors of Mouldy Ochre and Khador Red Highlight were painted on the edge of the base.

Guildball Tournament in Duncan, BC at Dicebaggames

I ran a friendly three round Guildball tournament in Duncan at a store called Dicebaggames. It was successfully held and fun was had by all. Nine people attended so I subbed in for the three games so none would be left without an honored opponent. Prizes for 1st place, best Painted team, best Goal, and best Sportsman were given out with certificates for 2nd and 3rd.

Things people liked were the terrain and terrain placement being the same for all pitches for each round. They also liked the rules of the terrain written right on the terrain itself. Things to consider for next time are keeping it casual and having some of the unusual style of tournaments (Captain my captain and Dodgeball for instance).

For my first miniature tournament the pre-planning helped a lot so that I could participate as a fill in player without interrupting the game too much for answering questions by other coaches. Look forward to the next one.




 Not the winning goal but a fun one none the less.

 The winning painted team, Fishermen.

Dystopian Wars - Britannia Reinforcements

In order to get 1100 points of "good guy" allied to use with a friend's forces, I needed a few more ships to go with my Britannia forces. I chose another Tribal cruiser, a Lord Hood battle cruiser, and four Attacker frigates.
 For the frigates, I painted them the same as my previously done Britannia navy ships but for the main body used Trollblood Base and drybrushed a mix of Trollblood Base and Menoth White Highlight. I was aiming for a WW2 Canadian corvette colour and I think I have achieved it.
 The Lord Hood comes with a combat air patrol and has devastating guns. It will be a good addition to my forces.
Next I will carry on with my Prussian Navy and Air forces.
