Community All-gates : 7-30-18

Hey Everyone!  Welcome to the "Community All-gates", a new weekly feature on The Realm Gate Blog.  Every Monday I plan to highlight something or someone from around the Age of Sigmar and Miniature Painting Community.  It might be an Event, a YouTube Channel, Blog, Army List, Model, Hobby Project, or anything else that catches my eye.  I also want to give a shoutout to the great hobbyist who gave me the idea for this new weekly feature, Paul Wagner (Pjschard) The Spider King Himself.  Thanks for the great idea!

What Model is your All-star?

Hey Everyone!  Today I wanted to talk about those special models in your army who always seem to punch above their weight class and you cannot play the army without them as part of the force.  Sometimes it can be a mighty Hero who leads your force through acts of valor and fantastic deeds.  Other times it might be a member of a basic Battleline unit who stubbornly makes every armor save and holds dragons in combat and holds a flank on his own!  We all have these favored models in every army we play and they can appear when we least expect it.  While I have a few All-Stars from the older editions of Warhammer Fantasy I want to focus on my models who have stepped up to the plate since the release of Age of Sigmar.

Weekly Hobby Update : 7-25-18

Hey Everyone!  Another week has gone so its time for another Hobby Update.  My time has been spent with a bunch of small and quick projects over the past few days as I prepare for upcoming events and sharpening some of my hobby skills, specifically drybrushing.  One of the more interesting projects is in preparation for Realms at War this October.  I decided to create a journal for my Aethermyst to detail out her story as well as a place for her experiments to be documented.  Although being an Aethermyst means you are a little bit off so I started tossing in fun little bits to show that she isn't quite stable and as a member of a Witch Cult that is saying a lot.  She seems to have an innocent crush on a certain dead god.

NOVA Open Charitable Foundation - 2018 Raffle

Hey Everyone!  Today I invited Sean from BrushforHire to talk a bit about the NOVA Open Charity Raffel happening this year at NOVA Open.  Each year the raffle sees a plethora of talented artists donating time, models, and skill in order to help raise money for different charities.  It is also a great chance to win beautiful painted models and armies and the best part is you can purchase entries and win even if you are not attending NOVA in person so be sure to give it a look and buy a few chances to win!  Let's see what Sean had to say.
