Bloodborne: Into Byrgenwerth College

 I haven't been playing much lately, but got back into The Nightmare this morning with the express mission to kill these two bosses and claim their bloody prizes today.

The Witch of Hemwick: 

Witch of Hemwick (ヘムウィックの魔女 Hemuuikku no majo lit. "Witch of Hemwick")



"'In the outskirts of Yharnam, the city of gravekeeper witches carved by the sunlight, Hemwick. In its depths, an old, gigantic structure and one Old lady lies in wait. Holding suspicious rituals in the deepest of the night, for that very purpose it is said that she gathers the eyeballs of the living. In the city where unwanted corpses would be gathered and disposed of, her outfit might just be befitting of one such place.


This creature, her mirror and her minions took two attempts. This one likes to suddenly appear next to you and cut out your eyes...




The Shadows of Yharnum:

Shadow of Yharnam (ヤーナムの影 Yānamu no kage lit. "Shadow of Yharnam")



Hard! Took 5 attempts. These guys have three different modes and when only 1 is left, he gains summon: Giant snakes. And they're GIANT.

Into Byrgenwerth College we go, and we don't have far into this new Nightmare before we are jumped by our first Garden of Eyes. Ohh yes, this will be a whole new level of bad dreams.


Until next time, fellow Hunters.

MAD-5M and WVR-6D get bases completed and varnished. Unit marking will come sometime in the future. Or not.

 This lance has another mech joining them soon. On the table: Warhammer II C






Gamma World. 'The Game' pieces. Plastic X's. OpFor. Call them what you will. They are on the Table.

 While hunting some bits, I started pulling out some of the minis from the Box of Forgotten Things and so I did this. These are all of the minis that are painted for 'The Game,' tentatively named OtherWorld 23. Monsters, NPCs, Wargangs, Bugs, Portal Dwellers, Merchant trains, etc.

A+ Timewaster: Landman S1 DVD

 Great storytelling. Although it does have some soap opera vibes at times, the style of this show is very much that that of the old Friday Night Lights TV show. Overall, a good pick!

EDIT: THIS is why those two shows seem very similar:

Casting Connections: Billy Bob Thornton, who starred as Coach Gary Gaines in the 2004 Friday Night Lights movie, leads Landman as Tommy Norris, while actress Louanne Stephens appears in both as a grandmother figure (Saracen in FNL and a retirement home resident in Landman).

Creative Team Overlap: Much of Landman is directed by Stephen Kay, a veteran of Friday Night Lights, and the show's intro sequence and dramatic ambiance are widely recognized as direct homages to the NBC series. 


Project 03-02-26 is up! A couple of Giants and a Dragon key ring...

 These turned out really well. Good paint, good lines. Good effort!











A Dragon keychain!

Bloodborne bosses are falling. There is so much blood....

I am still in the Bloodborne dream. A hellish place indeed.





Only took 4 attempts on this guy. The last attempt, I did not have any fire paper, so this one was all brutality.



Vicar Amelia went down today. Took 5 tries, but after breaking her left arm, if you stay in close, you can attack her while she is trying to heal. Got a visceral hit and just stayed in close the whole time.






Found the workshop door in the... tower of whatchacallit. 















Project 03-01-26 is up!

 Pics up for reference. I failed to try to take better quality pics than tabletop workshop photos, but they are a little better than potato quality anyway.

I give you - a Manticore!!!!






A Xorn!


Grell????




And there you have it. A semi-exciting group of original TSR 80's metal!


Until next time.

149th full reinforcement set.

 These aren't really finished, but they're done. For now. There are still vehicles and mechs I need to purchase and paint as well as 8 heavy tanks left from years ago to paint.

Quick potato pics:






The second Vulture.
