At this point, there should be no guessing as to today’s mosaic. As the last of the Eldar Dragon Legends, this one reminds me of a lot of old red dragons (and a little of Dragon Whelp), it’s Vaevictis Asmadi!
Mosaic-a-Week: Palladia-Mors
Whenever I think of dragons, three attributes come to mind: big, flying, and trample. However, there are only seven such dragons in all of magic (yes, I’m putting a lower bound on what I call big – I’ll let you try to figure out what that is), but today’s elder dragon has all of those attributes: Palladia-Mors.
The Lucifer Principle
I finished Howard Bloom’s The Lucifer Principle today, and I must say, it was an enlightening read, even the second time through. The first time I read this book, it was my second year in college, when I had all the time in the world to read. It took me 24 hours to finish. This time, I’ve had far less time, but I also read it more carefully, letting the details sink in, and thinking about them. I also read the impressively long annotated bibliography (a weighty 74 pages in it’s own right), which was also quite rewarding.
Mosaic-a-Week: Chromium
As you can probably guess from the title of this post, I’ve gone full-fledged into an Elder Dragon Legend series! Now, you can argue whether I’m really allowed to have a series this early in to posting, but that doesn’t mean I’ll acknowledge such arguments. Today’s Elder Dragon Legend reminds me of the classic color wheel in a big way: Chromium.
Warhammer Army Update
I just happened to be looking over my last warhammer post, and realized that my army has changed quite a bit since then. At that point, I was very optimistic about how things were going, though, in looking back, I wasn’t nearly optimistic enough. I now have two armies in the works: Space Wolves and Daemonhunters. I won’t go into quite as much detail this time around, but I felt it was worth noting the status.
Mosaic-a-Week: Nicol Bolas
Last week I talked about Arcades Sabboth – the general I would have used if I played EDH 15 years ago in my hayday of Magic playing. Today, I thought it would be worth mentioning who I would be most likely to pick if I were to build an EDH deck today: Nicol Bolas.
No more trackbacks
So, I’ve gotten a bit tired of deleting trackbacks all the time to avoid the annoying spam, so I’ve disabled them entirely. I’m sorry if you would like to trackback to a post, but instead I’d like to encourage you to write a comment and link to your site or blog.
Mosaic-a-Week: Arcades Sabboth
If I were to build a EDH deck 15 years ago when I started playing Magic: The Gathering (not that there was such a thing as EDH back in the day, but bear with me), I would have used this card as my general: Arcades Sabboth.
Mosaic-a-Week: Mayael the Anima
This week’s card is one that I knew would make a great mosaic from the moment it showed up on magicthegathering.com as a preview card (and a Mythic Rare) for Shards of Alara: Mayael the Anima.
The very distinct colors and and sharp edges make this piece particularly good for a mosaic, and the beautiful art is total icing on the cake!
What Model Is This?
A week ago, when I hosted the Warhammer painting day, Sally showed up with a host of new Wood Elves for her Warhammer Fantasy army. Among the pieces we found two figures (and most of a third) which we were unable to identify. Image after the break. Continue reading What Model Is This?
