I'm not into that whole "politically correct" mumbo jumbo, so there it is.  Merry Christmas to you all.  Don't do Christmas?  That's fine.  But I do, so deal with it.  ;)

As you probably noticed, there was no Hobby Thursday this week.  That's because its the holidays and I really haven't had a whole lot of time to devote to modeling/painting considering the festivities.  Next week should be good to go.  Including a new fun and exciting game on the side that some friends and I are going to start to break up the cycle of 40k on our game nights (Monday evening).  Pretty sure I'm going to talk about it then.  It is important to note that these "Hobby Thursdays" will not always be 40k oriented, just something having to do with the wargaming hobby.  Could be me building a board one day, doing a review on some models, or even painting something random.  Who knows.  :)

Oh!  Via Messenger of Death's blog, there were a couple articles that he found that had to do alternate ways of painting black.  You can find those articles here and here.  Since it applies to the Black Templars, I thought it'd be useful to check out.  Of particular interest to me is the method of painting Adeptus Battlegrey as first base coat, then using a couple Badab Black washes to shadow the mini.  You can put on some hard-edge highlights to make things pop out if you so desire, but from the pictures, it really isn't needed.  Apparently after the second wash, the miniature is essentially black, but with more natural depth/highlights to it.  I'm really interested in this and I plan on doing a test mini to see how it actually turns out.  If it looks good, I'll use it.  That'll be a helluva lot easier and less time consuming to do than to paint hard-edge highlights on everything.  Let me paint a mini up and I'll let you know how it looks.  :D

Have a great night and Christmas Day!  ;)
