Commissar and Eldar WIP

Sorry for the lapse in posting, I have started my college course and have been a bit side-tracked lately.

I did manage to finish my guard commissar:

I'm pretty happy with how he has turned out, I may go back and touch it up in a few places but for now he is done.

Next up I have been cracking on with the Eldar:

The Dark Reapers are nearly finished, I just need to paint up their weapons and get them based. I went for Charadon Granite mixed with Bleached Bone for the highlighting instead of Shadow grey and I am glad that I did. I painted the rune/symbol on one of them and will add it to the rest of them as well.

 I have also been getting on with the Warp Spiders, they sill need a fair bit of work but should be done along with the Reapers in the next couple of days. 


I still have a tonne of college work to do on top of my painting, so I am trying to get my table cleared as soon as I can without rushing the paint jobs. I still have the Howling Banshees and Harlequins to go as well as my own armies, so I need to sort out a good time table to allow me the time for my hobby as well as my work.


Will try to post again next week, depending on how I do for time. I will also stick another couple of mini tutorials together when I get the chance.


Thanks for stopping by,

Chaos Dwarf team done.

Finished the Chaos Dwarf team i have been doing, and am now ready to be getting on with the lizards.

These really were some gorgeous models and a real pleasure to paint.

Not much to say, so will leave this post (my 50th! wow!) short and sweet so i can get on with the next team :O)

Thanks as always for dropping by!

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.

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.
