I don't remember why I started a Blogger version... something like... sharing or something. I don't know. Making it easier to follow? Who cares, anyway? There's a real site. Go visit it.

We're Back for Round 3!
(original post at http://www.savevsblog.com/2011/were-back-for-round-3/)
Moving is done. Kinda. I mean, the basement is a shambles, but I have cleared and moved enough that I can work on minis again, and play games again!
Here's where I picked up!
This is Tharsis the Grim (Tharsis being a big plateau on Mars). Tharsis is the Captain of the Second Company of my homebrew Space Marine Chapter, the Basilicans. I would describe Tharsis as dour and thorough. Tharsis likes firepower. Wait till you see his signature land raider.
Anyway, Tharsis is a resin sculpt from Scibor's Monstrous. Expensive? Yes. But I fell in love with this mini when I saw it, and I cannot be denied little space men whom I love. Tharsis came with a sword and shield, but if you look at your Space Marine Captain entry - you have the codex handy, right? - you'll see that doesn't work with Terminator armor. But of course, you knew that. So, using a hammer from MaxMini (all the best bits come from Europe), I gave him the old Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield look. Here's Tharsis first assembled:
Ah, Tharsis the Grim has the iconography of the Grim Reaper. Clever. So this is a great miniature, Scibor is a great sculptor, he runs a great web site full of great things, and this is all great. Two problems - first, possibly because I cleaned too aggressively, the left hand isn't flush against the wrist. There's a huge gap. Second, the hammer, which I drilled out and pinned, of course, doesn't line up too well with the pole that the hand is holding. Actually, I pin everything, including the hand to wrist and arm to shoulder in this miniature.
Green stuff to the rescue!

First Post!
This blog is basically a duplication of savevsblog.com, but I figured Blogger would be easier for some folks to follow or comment on. Or for random people to find. Random people are good.
Anyway, go to www.savevsblog.com for the complete blog!
