Empire Captain

So I've decided on a figure for the base. A good old empire guy, seems to be all I like to paint. I've started to use white undercoat something I never done before as it always gave me bad results. Anyway just starting off the metallics on this guy. More to come soon!

Start Of A Vostroyan Army

Hello and Welcome! I haven't Updated my blog much recently as life's been pretty hectic and I haven't had much spare time. But the time I did have I have been putting the start of an army together. My old favorites " The Vostroyans" But due to my not wanting to buy all new figures I have to scrimp and pull this army out of my bits box or old models stripped down.
So far I have made a sentinel, Mogul Kamir on his cyber steed, 10 Veterans and refurbished some old weapons teams.

Thanks For Looking!

[Commission] Tau Fire Warrior Sergeant 3

 

Hello and Welcome! So from the last update I have just about finished the painting on the fire warrior. Perhaps just a few small changes and anything the client suggests. I quite enjoyed painting this figure even though there was a few things that took ages to do. I never had no idea that tau models were so small and tricky. Anyway I'll leave you with some more photos.

Thanks For Looking!

[Commission] Tau Fire Warrior Sergeant 2

 

Hello and Welcome! I have more or less assembled the fire warrior with just maybe a few tweaks to do. Can't wait to get painting this model.

Thanks For Looking!

[Commission] Tau Fire Warrior Sergeant

Hello and welcome! So I have started work on my next commission which is a Tau Fire warrior for display.  I have nearly finished the base just a few minor tweaks to be made like some deeper shading on the grey pillars and steps also need to add some detail to the hanging ribbon.

He is going to converted so he is carrying his helmet as shown, with a scratch built katana and other sculpted details. The scheme was chosen to be the standard Tau colors of mustard, browns and creams.
More over the coming days!

Thanks for Looking!

Some Stuff on My Workbench! Again

Hello and welcome! I'll admit I haven't been doing much hobbying at the moment. But, I've done a little on the Horse for my empire general I show last week. It's just mainly placing the colours at the moment, some areas have started to be highlighted and shaded like the reins near his face. Obviously a load of work to. More on that soon... I hope.

Also on my workbench I have assembled two marines which I plan to enter as part of a squad into Golden Demon. Not anything exciting to show and no major conversions for the squad. As the feedback from my squad entry from last year was it was to complicated and should be more simple and refined. So I am sticking with that simple idea of like a command squad just placed on simple plinth.

Thanks for Looking!

Mounted Empire General WIP

Hello and welcome! I have made some more progress on my mounted empire general. As you can see from last time I've smooth the edges of the base and added some details to it as well as the grit. I have painted the base by drybrushing through the shades up to bleached bone. Then, I have started to add some grass tuffs and flowers. I still need to add lots more foliage like more of the above and leaves etc.

I have also made a start on the horse using my airbrush to give it a solid basecoat of codex grey, then applying a very subtle highlight of grey with a hint of white. From this base I will use my brush to add shade and details.
Beneath, I  have a shot of the plinth I plan to use at the moment.

Thanks for Looking!

Mounted Empire General WIP

 

Hello and Welcome! I have made some more progress on my Empire General. I have bulked out the base with milliput, I still need to sand down the sides for a smooth flat finish. 

Next I will add some detail to the base like skulls etc then add sand and grit to texture it. 

I will being painting the horse in a light grey colour and using the traditional Red and white empire colours with the armour in steel.

                           I have made a Flag out of shim brass which I'm quite pleased with how it looks
                                       and all you have to do is some flexing around a brush. Easy !
                                     I used some steel rod to make a longer banner pole then used the
                                             Imperial Guard banner tassel to give a little detail to it. 

I'm planing to do a complex freehand banner design in red and white.

Thanks for Looking!

WIP Wizard Duel Mock-up

Hello and Welcome! I have been doing a bit more work on a "Wizard duel" well a Wizard and a Daemonette but I didn't have another wizard. Oh well! So I have created a little mock-up of the scene, with a very rough layout just to give myself some ideas.

I imagine the Wizard channelling his energy and using it a blast sweeping the Daemonette off his feet and against the wall , This image was inspired through a scene from one of the Harry Potter Films not sure which one though. I'm sure someone does....

Thanks for Looking!

Some Stuff on My Workbench!

Hello and welcome! I have some work in progress stuff to show you today. I have again been tinkering with ideas for some cool looking figures ad possible Golden Demon entries.

First off is a Empire Wizard which I have converted to be out stretched and more flowing. There is still alot of green stuff work to do including the smoothing of all the areas with a thin wash of milliput. I plan to use this Wizard in a duel scene, either with the obvious choice of opponent "another Wizard" or I was also thinking of using a Daemonette just because I have the parts for it.

Then I have a mounted Empire General which is just blu tacked just to give me some idea of assembly and composition. I plan to make a banner out of thin sheet brass, allowing me a nice clear canvas to do some freehand. I intend to make a built up elevated base to give the figure more height and more room to add features and details to the base. 

More Soon!

Thanks for Looking!

[WIP] High Elf Sea Guard

      Hello and Welcome! I have now started looking to the future and Golden Demon 2011. While it still is a long way off, I need to start tinkering and getting ready as I am aiming to enter a few categories. At the moment I am planning to enter these High Elf sea guard into the Fantasy regiment. Having been following Volomirs Blog and his great looking sea guard, I will be using a similar colour scheme of silver and turquoise. I used  bark and miliput to build up the bases and then added a mix of sand and grit for extra texture.
      I hope to get some paint on these over the coming week, So make sure to check back!

Thanks for Looking!

WIP Space Wolf Rune Priest Scibor Miniatures (3)

Hello and Welcome! I have done tiny bit of painting on the Space wolf Rune Priests.  I have used an airbrush to get a nice and even basecoat on the models armour using a mix of shadow grey and space wolves grey. More to come!

Thanks For Looking!

WIP Space Wolf Rune Priests Scibor Miniatures

Hello and Welcome! I have assembled the other Rune Priest from Scibor Miniatures for my latest commission . This model was somewhat more troublesome to assemble than the last with a lot of cutting and fitting, gap filling and even some resculpting to get this model to fit together. I hope to get these both painted next week so more photos to follow!

Thanks For Looking!

WIP Space Wolf Rune Preists Scibor Miniatures

         Hello and Welcome! I have started my next commission which is a pair of Space Wolf Rune Priests using the Celtic Warrior miniature's from Scibor Miniatures. These are to match the Space Wolves Grey Hunters I recently did.

          I was quite surprised after hearing some mixed reviews of Scibor Miniatures to find the figures look to be finely detailed and very well cast with only a few minor imperfections. I would highly recommend Scibor's great looking models and they also have a good customer service side as well.
       
         Anyway I have assembled the first one and have some photos to show you!

 Thanks For Looking!
