Up and painting again!

Finally have Internet sorted after a nightmare house move!

I have fallen behind in my painting however :O(

The chaos Dwarfs are well on the way to being finished though. The Hob-goblins are all finished, 3 Dwarf players are waiting to be finished off and one of the 2 centaur torsos just needs finishing off.

All that remains then is the legs for the centaurs and the Minotaur, so I am hoping to get theses finished over the next couple of weeks and then devote all my spare time to getting the lizzardman team finished.

Then get on with my guard.

And my Ogres.

And my Necromunda.

And my Vampire counts.

And my Empire.

And my...    Well you get the point ;O)

Anyway, I'm off to work and then I'm back to painting tonight.

MIA

Have been lost in real life boring stuff and not had much of a chance to get any pics taken.

Hob goblins are nearly done for the chaos dwarf team i am working on and i will be cracking on with them and the rest after i move house next week.

The lizards are giving me a real headache trying to get them to look right, and have been stripped and re-painted a couple of times already. I am going to paint up a couple of different scheme to see if i can find something that works better.

I have a tonne of packing and moving to do, and it will take a few weeks to get internet up and running in the new house, but once it is i should hopefully have plenty of pics to post for you all.

Sorry for the boring all text in this post, i'm back off to do packing and will hopefully speak to y'all soon!

I'll be back.....

....Shortly ;o)

Started my Blood Bowl Commissions

Have been busy in real life the last couple of weeks  but have managed to finish blacking out the rest the lizardmen team's  metal sections and will start on the skin this weekend.

I have finished a hobgoblin and 80% of a dwarf player for the chaos dwarfs

Still have a couple of bits to tidy up on them, but i am really happy with the look and scheme.

I will try and get some more done on both teams this weekend and will try and post a bit more often, real life permitting.

Will keep this post short and sweet by finishing here.

So long and thanks for the fish

Break from the norm

Hi folks,

Been a while again! i'm a bad bad blogger for which i am very sorry :o)

I have had a bit of a burn out with my guard army and before i lost all interest in them i decided to get on with a couple of other bits and have a break from the ice blue menace.

First up i have 3 Gangers for my wife's necromunda gang to finish which just need a few details finishing up.

A couple of weeks ago some one kindly sent me 1k of vampire counts for nothing! so they have become my wife's fantasy army.
As i already have a my own big project in the guard army for 40k, the VC are getting a quick and dirty dipping but to keep them "Pretty" for my wife will have autumnal scenic bases.

I also have a couple of commission jobs for blood bowl teams that have come in.

First up is a Lizardman team for Chris,

We are still working out the scheme for these very cool (and some what rare i believe) models, so i have just started blocking out the parts that will be metallic with black to give the metal some oomph when it is done.

The second team I am working on is a chaos dwarf team for Matt.

These gorgeous minis are from www.gaspez-arts.com, and i am really looking forward to working with them.

One small problem i noticed after priming was that there are a few gaps and joins that need a little bit of green stuffing to smooth out.

Unfortunately the way the centaurs fore legs are put on their sprue means you end up taking a small chunk off of the top of the leg, which is only a small job and the only problem i have had with assembling the team.

Overall i am very impressed with them and will be spending a few pounds Gaspez Arts myself.

The hob-goblins will be a very pale/sickly green shade as Matt wanted a something a bit different to the normal gobbos.

Ok, thats about all from me at the moment but i will be posting the progress on here, as and when it is done.

Quick and blurry update

Not the greatest pics but here are the sniper, vox operator and the start of the melta gunner

Sorry for the poor quality, I need to get some cash together for a new camera, tripod and beeter lights! lol, thats alot of smurfs to paint ;o)

Will try and finish off the squad today and tomorrow, then it is on to my commander.

I'm thinking of doing his coat in camo to match the rest, but instead of blue blobs they will be aquila's if i can manage the freehand. Failing that i could try the FW brass etch which will be easier to paint put really fiddly to apply i should imagine.

What do you guys think?

More from me soon

Sorry about the lack of bloggage? (is that a word?) I have been buried in some commission work for a friend, and have had very little time for my own stuff.

I have finished a sniper and am working on a vox operator for the second platoon command, photos will be on tomorrow.

Unless some more commission work pops up i should be back and blogging regularly again .

Until then, stay frosty people

Been a while

Sorry i have been away for a bit, but i am back and bearing new pictures.

First a quick recap on the 1st Platoon:

Platoon Command Squad

I have also finished (except for the bases) 2 squads for second platoon:

And have just made a start on the platoon command for them too:

there was a comms trooper too but the picture has vanished! lol.

And finally here is a quick pic of the eventual senior officer for the army (poss creed count as):
