Warhammer Terrain
I have decided to make building terrain as my 2008 modeling project. I have started with the warhammer models by GW. While the fit of the pieces seems inadequate (the corners of the buildings do not glue readily at a right angle), there are plenty of left over accessory pieces that can be used for customization and home-made add-ons. Thus far i have build one fortified manor (with a custom roof for the tower), combined two towers to make a small keep, and combined two houses to make a larger one (with another custom roof for the addition). I am contemplating building another tower as a clock tower, and perhaps a fortified house as well. I will try to get pictures tonight to post.

New Year's Plans
Last year I built an entire 3k army for GT. This year I think I will play the same army in all my tournament plays. As for building projects, I will focus on terrain. I have the City of Death kit for 40k and the Warhammer building set for Fantasy. I am really looking forward to this year's project. I need to get a digital camera for this.

Baltimore GT
This post is a month past due but here it goes. I took a Sacred Host of Quetzl to the Baltimore GT this year. I took a ballanced list with 25% characters, 50% core, and 25% special. I took no large monster. I was rather shocked that some of the list i faced were so over powered.
Game 1: I faced a Tzeench demon list with a greater demon. Narrow lost.
Game 2: I faced a balanced lizardmen list. Marginal win.
Game 3: I faced a lizardmen list with a carnosaur (and a stegadon?). A tie.
Game 4: I faced a Nurgle list with a dragon. Wiped out (some very poor gaming decision on my part)
Game 5: A Knight's errant list. very balanced and characterful. A tie. My most enjoyable game.
Next time I think I will take some thing more powerful. Or at least gear the army to large (flying) creatures.
On a side note, I was also surprised that the 2 lizardmen opponent had not heard of the sacred host list.

Finish Line
Unbelievable, but i have finished painting 3 battalions of Lizardmen!
Next step is to flock them, build moving trays, and write fluff for them.
In addition, i want to build and paint Kroq Gar now.

The last kits
I know it has been a while since I have last posted, but that is because i have been surprisingly active painting my lizzies.
now all the skinks are painted. all the saurus warriors are painted. all the character models are painting. I am currently on the cold one riders and then 3000 pts of lizzies in 9 months are done. I still need to base them and generate fluff for them for the Baltimore GT.
