Skaven Test Pack Masters

Bit happier with the white one, but like the dirt on the red one a bit better. In the end, went with neither of these two designs.

Games Workshop Great Weapon Dwarf Warriors

First off a comment: I'm not really liking these sculpts.  Maybe I just had a bad set, but they feel under quality compared to other plastic kits from GW.  Most of the issue I had was in the shoulder joins and the beard and how it draped.  I'm actually hoping I just got two kits confused and thats where the issue lay. I'll upload pics later. Skin Base Calthan Brown Wash Ogryn Flesh Highlight Tallarn Flesh RMS Tanned Highlight for final touches (Which I forgot to do to the hands in these pics!) Chain/Weapons Base Runefang Steel Wash Badab Black Highlight Runefang Steel Leather Trimming Base Ratskin Flesh Wash Badab Black Edge highlight Ratskin Flesh Bronze/Gold Bits Base Vallejo Brassy Brass Wash Ogryn Flesh Highlight shining gold if going bright, brassy brass if dark Shoes Base Mournfang Brown Wash Devlan Mud after basing (So not done here as they are unbased) Yellow Beards Base Tausept Ochre Wash ogryn Flesh Highlight ...

Bioshock

Played the steam version of the game with an Xbox controller, mouse and keyboard never work for me.  Not a bad game but I don't think its the best FPS I've played.  Certainly Half-Life kept me more interested in the story, but Bioshock  did have the better environment.  Fort Frolic was the high point for me, though the Point Prometheus level had a nice creepy vibe to it. In terms of gameplay, I really enjoyed it.  Lots of environmental interactions and different ways to approach the fights.  I spent a lot of time hacking the various security systems available and letting them do the fighting for me.  At one point I had a veritable army of drones following me. Overall, a definite recommend.
