Found some time!

Hi folks, 


I have finally managed to clear some time from my studies to get on with some hobby related fun! and have finally finished the second batch of Hero Quest miniatures to go with this lot, which I painted last year. they will be winging there way their way home in the next couple of days.


I have had some great fun painting these and although the minis are not the greatest sculpts ever produced, they are certainly iconic and will forever remind me of my childhood.

Next up, I have managed to get some colours laid down on the GW Undead team at last although not a lot as yet. I have a few days coming up that i can dedicate to getting some serious painting done and hope to get the two Blood Bowl teams well on there way. I started with a black base coat and they painted their flesh with a few thin coats of Dheneb stone, then washed with Leviathan purple and as you can see on one reworked the flesh with Dheneb stone once more leaving the shade in the recesses. I will be taking the skin tone up a little brighter and with white for the extreme highlights.

I am still working on the conversions for the zombies so no paint has been put down on the second team, with the exception of these two AWESOME minis! Only primed and inked at the moment but eventually they will be a patchwork of various shades of necrotic fleshy goodness and i can't wait to get on with them!

Well that's all for now, 


Stay frosty people.

Hero Quest and Blood Bowl

Howdy folks!


Have been working hard on my college assignments and have even managed to fit a bit of hobby time around it too!


First up is the Hero Quest expansion figures to go with the set I finished last year:


Wizards

 Undead

Men at Arms

Ogres

As you can see, they are coming along nicely and with a few finishing touches and finishing off the ogres, these very cool old school minis will be done :)


Next up I have the Blood Bowl team that I introduced in the last post, these have now had their bases filled with milliput and each of the players have a small magnet in there to stop the ball (also magnetised) from flying off under the table! 


Team

 Magnetised bases

These are still in the early stages, but will have a lot more work done on them over the coming weeks. A few conversions to do on all of the zombie line men to make them a bit more Blood Bowl-esque and then it is time to lay some paint down on them.

Also on the workbench is a GW Undead Blood Bowl team, but my battery has died and my wife has "Tidied" the charger, so pics will follow on the next post. The team is built and primed and ready for a lick of paint.

Have a lot of college work over the next few weeks but should find some time to get these amazing minis sitting on my painting station done!


Until next time,

Finished some and started some more

Finally finished the Heroquest greenies:

Have also finished the barbarian, alchemist and fool:

Goldar the Barbarian - Reaper Miniatures

 

  Damiel, Iconic Alchemish - Reaper Miniatures

Jules le Jongleur - Games Workshop

And as I have been bitten by the painting bug, I have started a couple more minis to use in future games:

Converted Captain of the Empire - Games Workshop

Finari, Crusader Hero - Reaper Miniatures

 

  Anduriel, elf warrior - Reaper Miniatures

  Kara Foe Hunter - Reaper Miniatures

Mites - Reaper Miniatures



More to follow as long as the painting bug continues to burrow down into my brain...

Just a quick update

Hi folks,

Not had much time for painting of late, but as my current contract is about to expire at work i will have lots of time to get on with it from next friday!!

I have almost finished the Goblins, Orcs and Femirs; which will be winging their way back on Monday if all goes well this weekend.

The pictures are a bit dark, but i will get some new ones taken tomorrow afternoon and with a camera that is actually charged so i don't have to rush them!

I have also started to repaint my Ogre kingdoms army, going for more human flesh tones this time around. Once painted up, they will likely go up on EBAY to help fund my return to full time education.

Next up, I have been playing alot of Pathfinder games with an amazing GM called Crispy over the last few months, and have of course needed some miniatures to act as my avatars in the games!

This was to be Baal's (my Barbarian from a previous post) replacement mini, but on his first trip out in place of the Big Boris model, he went and died! so painting was aborted for now! until his cousin Biil comes out of hiding maybe :)

Next is my new main charater, Darius the fool. He is a courtly fool in training and has joined the pathfinder society to witness and be part of great adventures so that he will have stories and tales to entertain and thrill his honoured hosts of the future! as long as he can remember to get out of the way of the fighting! still in progress but will be finished soon.

Last up is Damiel the alchemist pregen, who sometimes acompanies us when we are a player short :) was just a nice model and is more fun to use than a random orc warrior that was spare from the GM's figure box! Needs a little more work and basing.

No work on my guard to report, i want to get the greenies finished and away, and get the Ogres up to scratch as soon as possible. More painting should hopefully mean more posts! but i always say that!

Until the next post, may the dice gods be with you....
