Sly Marbo and his merry men

Decided on which army to go ahead with :)

Have also found my new bestest ever highlighting colour too whilst I was painting up my Sly conversion; Space wolf grey! Doesn’t drain the colour like white or bleached bone and is easy to work with for good looking results :)



At the minute, I am painting the base blue on all the chaps you can see in the picture. Very boring and slow going but it needs t be done. They were all sprayed with my airbrush for the grey when I first got it, using the same colours as by hand; I work from codex grey up to fortress grey. The blue starts with fenris grey and goes up through shadow grey to space wolf grey.

I did mean to put some tutorials up, if anyone is interested let me know and I’ll see what I can knock together :)

Anyway, back to the grind!

Heroquest finished

Good news for Moritz, I have pretty much finished the Heroquest lot.


Just a few touches here and there but they should be winging their way back shortly :)

With them done, I need to decide whether i will do my Guard or maybe even redo my Ogres...

Will have a think and no doubt you will find out in my next post :)

Seeyaa!

New post, new location

Hi folks,

Sorry about the lack of bloggage, but it has been a pretty hectic couple of months. Work has gone crazy busy, and I have also moved house and had various other dramas along the way as usual :)

But (touch wood) I now have my own little hobby room with pretty good lighting, space for all my gubbins and my main PC within immediate blogging distance!


Wouldn't hold your breath on a torrent of blogging from here out, but i should be able to post alot more frequently as everything I need is in a single room!

Painting wise, there has been progress! I have actually put paint to minis!

The Heroquest stuff is all done except the gargoyle, which i have been promising Moritz would be done for the last few months! He is 50% complete, and i will do my best to get him done this week, pics posted and shipped as soon as i am done!

Here are a few pics of the rest of the minis he sent:

 

On some personal mini stuff, here are a couple of minis that have been finished for me and my wife. We have just started playing pathfinder after finding an awesome couple that happen to be DM's and massive pathfinder fans.

First up is Baal "Giant's Blood", my Barbarian ex pit fighter. Big Borris from Heresy Miniatures, with a few gubbins from my bitsbox to make him WYSIWYG, not really needed for RPG but years of playing GW games meant i had to!


Next we have Amarylis, my wife's Half-elf druid and her animal companion Humpy (wow, how imaginative!). Autumn Bronzeleaf by Reaper minis, a really nice model with lots of detail which was a real pleasure to paint. Humpy was from eBay, and not so nice to paint, but will do for now.




Next up is a model i am planning to use as a half-ork ranger named Bronn. Also from Heresy, Ebric the Doomed.

And finally, here is my new toy!


That's all for now, C and C are always welcome.

Build up!

Hi folks,

Sorry it has been a while, I have no idea where that time went!

Not a massive amount of progress in the last couple of months, but I have gotten through some of the models sat on my painting desk.

First up, I have finished Drogo my halfling barbarian for the D&D campaign I have been playing in.

 

 I also put the final touches on my wife's Escher gang for Necromunda!! these have only taken 5 or 6 years to complete! lol. Just have to finishing basing a few then varnish and I'm done with the pink ladies for good :)

Have also been touching up the random Reaper models sitting on my desk, the fighter is getting there but the rat has just had base colour and washes so far.

 On the Imperial Guard front, I finished 5 more grunts (forgot to take pics) and converted up a "counts as" Sly Marbo. As you can see he has only had a couple of case colours put on at the moment but I am really happy with how he looks. Oh and the weird grey box is his demo charge :) any C&C is appreciated.

And finally I have been cracking on with the Heroquest stuff from the last post, skeletons need their wood shafts touching up and then they are done, the mummies are finished, the elf is complete, the barbarian is nearly done, zombies are close to complete, chaos warriors will be started tonight and the wizard, dwarf and sorceror will be finished over the next couple of nights.

 

 That just leaves the big gargoyle, which I am still not sure how I am going to do him yet, but should be finished along with everything else by next weekend or maybe the following if anything pops up in "Real Life" :)

So all going well I should be posting again soon with updates or all going well the completed Heroquest and Necromunda gang!

Will see y'all then! as allways, if you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave a post or send me a mail :)

Save me Jebus!
