About me
I'm originally from Orange County California but moved to Dallas / Fort Worth TX 4 years ago. I attend 6-8 Grand tournaments per year and am a competitive player who prefers to play a friendly list to a high level and let my tactics win me the game rather than bring the most competitively sound list. I value having fun over wining after all let's be real this is a game people. I went to the USA WHFB masters last year where I placed 3rd overall out of 80 of the best players in the country and am currently on the list to go back to masters again this year to represent the TX flag again. I am the tournament organizer of Moonshine GT , and a host of The Beer Phase podcast along with my co-competitor Ryan Smith and Southern regional chairman Mark Cox. In short we like to play games, have fun and drink BEER! I have won a few painting awards in the past at Adepticon, Alamo GT, and a few others so I am looking forward to this high level of competition and trying to hold my own as the only North TX invite I feel like I cant let down my locals and my old So Cal brothers.
How I paint
I have no art background and thus am untrained in any way so I take a way different approach then probably most so it will be fun to compare. I prefer seem less blending rather than high contrast but can perform well with either style, I love to use object source lighting tastefully to tell a story and to create a scene so you will for sure see this in the unit I will be competing with. My paints are 95% Reaper paints with a few Vallejo from time to time. I use only Winsor Newton series 7 sablebrushes as they have proven time and time again to hold a great tip and not fray even after 100 models. you will see that I paint sections of my models at a time usually starting with the flesh and I will do 6-8 layers then come back at the end to finish out high lights and small detail once all areas of the model are finished with their layers.

What I will be painting
I will be painting up a troop of Succubi (Ronnie Renton brought these to show them off) then I won them at Alamo GT 2015 for 1st place which is amazing since I didn't get in on the kick starter and have been chomping at the bit to get my hands on these beauties. I hope to show what you can accomplish with these awesome models and would have painted a full regiment would I have been able to get 10 more to do so. I'm in the process of formulating a plan on what I want to do with them so this week I just plan to glue them together while figure it out. Stay tuned to see these sexy vixen transform and steal your SOUL!!!!
