Occasionally a manga comes along that makes me squee with glee every time a new volume is released. Though I’ve only read the first two volumes, I can tell that Blue Exorcist is going to be one of those manga. Volume 1 introduces Rin Okumura, a well-meaning but short-tempered teen who has been raised by Father Fujimoto, a […]

Foundling by D. M. Cornish – Book Review
Rossamund Bookchild is a foundling boy with a girl’s name. This name was given to him by the paper pinned to his blanket when he was left on the front stoop of Madam Opera’s Estimable Marine Society for Foundling Boys and Girls, and it has tormented him ever since. As the object of frequent jibes […]
Warhammer 40K: Chaos Daemons Tzeentch Pink Horror Conversions
Presenting my Warhammer 40K Chaos Daemons Tzeentch Pink Horror Conversions. Modeling the Tzeentch pink horrors was the best part of making this army. Every model is unique. With the plenty of Chaos spawn and space marine parts at my disposal, along with plenty of green stuff, I let my imagination run wild. Wherever possible, I […]
Warhammer 40K: Chaos Daemons Tzeentch Herald Conversions
Presenting my Warhammer 40K Chaos Daemons Tzeentch Herald Conversions. With the chaotic nature of a Chaos Daemons army, it’s hard to go wrong with something absolutely crazy. My Tzeentch heralds are no exception to this. Two of the heralds are basically a lot of spare bits stuck into a central glob of green stuff. Really, […]
Warhammer 40K: Chaos Daemons Army
Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Chaos Daemons Tzeentch army, with 95% conversions. My Chaos Daemons army is easily the craziest modeling project I’ve ever embarked upon. All but one model in the entire army have some sort of conversion work, and many involved extensive conversions. The theme behind the army is a space marine force gone horribly […]
Romeo and Juliet: The War by Stan Lee, etc. – Graphic Novel Review
Comic adaptations of Shakespeare are hardly new, but in my experience, rarely are they well-done enough to be appreciated outside of a “Here, read this comic because you’re having trouble with the Shakespearean language in the play” context. Of the several that I’ve attempted, only a few have been books that I’ve reread for their […]
Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Wolf Guard Conversions
Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves wolf guard conversions. The wolf guard conversions form the meat of this army, and they take a lot of forms. The large size of the terminator bases, as well as the models themselves, presented a lot of opportunities for some really dynamic poses and interesting bases. I […]
Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Vindicator Conversions
Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves vindicator conversions. What do you get when you cross 3 Space Marine vindicator kits, spare Cadians, a lot of green stuff, and an overactive imagination? Something like this! Each vindicator kit comes with a cannon shell. I took one, built up a plume of green stuff, and attached it to the […]
Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Dreadnought Conversion
Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves dreadnought conversion. This dreadnought conversion was actually a little trickier than it looks. The model is mostly stock, except the feet were adjusted slightly to allow it to stop on a poor Cadian. Getting the angle right proved difficult, given the lack of mobility in the stock model. Green stuff and […]
Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Army
Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves terminator army. I’ve loved terminators for about as long as I’ve loved Warhammer 40K, and I always had this itch to do an all-terminator army. When the 5th Edition Space Wolves codex came out in 2009, I picked it up and was immediately drawn to the customization options […]
