    “There upon the ancient, tusked throne of Gorblud sat Zosga, hobgoblin queen of the Misty Vale.” My first model for this year’s Orktober is Trixia the Hobgoblin Queen by Artisan Guild. I tried a new technique, well it’s new to me, for painting green skin. It’s in Dr. Faust’s Painting Clinic video on layering and…

    I’ve finished a second 2’x2′ board for the Escape from Hadley’s Hope game I’ll be running at the Lone Star Game Expo, Sept. 30 – Oct. 2. This is the Alien Catacombs Terrain Set from Battle Systems. I need to complete two more terrain boards to have a 4’x4′ table and I need to paint…
