One Year Anniversary and New Years Resolution Checkpoint!

This week, there's a confluence of milestones to celebrate.  First, the Tiny Basement Wars blog turned one year old!  And, from my first post a year ago to this one, there have been over 100 posts and nearly 20,000 page hits.   To everyone who follows this blog, or has me in their G+ circles or "friended" me on Facebook, thank you for all the kind words, encouragement and inspiration!

My first logo, before sprucing it up!

I started the blog in an attempt to help me organize and focus my gaming projects, as well as interact with the growing chorus of gaming blogs I'd been reading for years.  Mission accomplished!

Its also half-way through the year and so time to assess my 2015 New Years Resolutions.

Sister I'm a Poet

My final addition to the Sisters of Sigmar, an acolyte with an outsized hammer.  I don't know how a lowly acolyte scores a sweet weapon like this, while the more senior sisters get stuck with stolen goblin weapons, but I sense big things ahead for this one.

My favorite part of painting these minis was doing their hair.  Is that wrong?

I also enjoyed painting the red capes and tunics.  The off-white dresses?  Not so much - my white needs much work.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sister El Cinco

Maybe that should be Hermana La Cinca?  Anyways, my fifth (and personal favorite) entry in the Sisters warband is this femme fatale:

Do you think that ring will leave a mark when she slugs you in the face?

She's an acolyte, but since I'm "lyte" on sisters, I may just run her as a regular sister.  Ooh, I'm rebellious like that.

Many of the Mordheim minis are quite 2-dimensional, or flat, having been cast in metal as one piece. While that usually results in rather static poses, I think the sculptor did a great job in giving an action-oriented pose for this one.  Which reminds me, I need to dig into who sculpted these minis!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sister No. 4

Coming in next is another Sister of Sigmar, this one with a rather unusual weapon.  Her mace is . . . you guessed it!  From the Night Goblins set, but I think it looks more appropriate than her sister's spear.

The shield is from . . . not sure actually, but I like the fact the flour-de-lis ties her into the Sisters of Battle that would follow in her footsteps some 38,000 years later.

Thanks for stopping by!
