hi all I've decided to open a blog here rather than keeping on with all the others in the other sections.
So hopefully this blog should include all the stuff that im doing for other people and also my own bits and bobs.
Currently painting up some dark eldar for someone.
And getting ready for my own sedition wars army.

Any who heres the first finished one from the dark eldar.

Grey and white undercoat then painted up with a heavy use of inks still wip atm.

Arrrgh rotate the pics, looking good tho..

Love the dark red against the cream color and heck. It's a wip? Looks WAY better than my finished stuff.
And yes, rotate your pics please.

Couple more bits I've been working on a predator that was a speed paint 90mins on this one to table top standards and a nurgle champion based on a old realm of chaos adrian smith picture experimenting with new ways to do skin on this one.
Really wanted to give it a deasesed look rather than the standard gw green flesh tones they normaly do. So lots of blue and purple tones in it as well as painting the wounds up with a gangreen look instead of the fresh open sore look like normal. Also added skin tumors to the left side and a varicus vane look. Then went for the rusty metal effect on his armour and weapon.

Wip on the 2nd member of the nurgle warband. Each member is going to be based on a differnt aspect of disease so the first one was infection this one is growth so he has a hunch back and twisted spine. Next one is going to be atrophy. Then i might do a slug hound. ..

that one nurgle guy based on Smith's picture is a gem! Always been a fan of older Adrian Smiths work.

Self-built? I can't remeber seeing that sculpt either

cheers mate.

hes a converted plastic nurgle champion , im baseing all the members off smiths artwork in the lost and the damned book .

One of my favorit gaming books ever. Looking forward to see the next ones.

Spawn / slughound is done. Really fun sculpt and only took a hour from start to finnish under the drying lamp. .might have to get some water effects for the slime. ..

Holy hells that slug thing is disgusting and great! Definitely reminds me of Carpenter's Thing and the film From Beyond.

Two sticky thumbs up from me!

cheers old bean ...not sure i want to know why your thumds are sticky tho ? lol

New member joining the fold. Lovely model a avatars of war herald of pestilance he's bigger than i thought (he's on a 40mm base ) basicly the same size as the old great unclean one. So looking forward to painting this one.
Also got some new paints to test out inc vallejo liquid gold that looks amazeing and some new greens for my sons of horus (saves me mixing the green out of 4 differnt shades )

So started on my new herald today. ..

As part of my ongoing "bits box/refurbished" sons of horus army build i decided i mite have enough bits dug out to make a chaptain in TDA. Body is gs. Legs are from grey knights as is the sword arm. Power fist is from the masters of the chapter box (going to be crushing a emperors childrens helmet ) and head is from typhus. ...

Looks great, that Avatars of war model is far larger than I realized. (also you reminded me I need to pick up their new 4 armed slaaneshi style witch).

That Sons of Horus terminator looks great, did you scratchbuild the shoulders?

yeah they had that one in the shop too she's tiny i would say 25mm and really slim .

yeah the whole body other than the arms is gs ,pads are plasticard.

Epic work! The sculpting is great and the painting is top notch! Love it.

Wow CURNOW, there is some really exceptional work here. Thanks to MGS for point your blog out.

thanks guys :]

hopefully now the weather is comming in ,i'll be around the house abit and willl be able to update more .

next up is the paint job for the termi cpt and maybe some kinda shooty chap for the nurgle warband as i want to be able to use them in warhammer and 40k .

Sons of horus so far have another 10 marines coming to finnish of each sqd to the minimum size. And a rhino thats going to be converted to mk1 and maybe a land raider. After that i want to do some scouts in power armour with sniper rifles and some catalan reavers for my assault sqd

I thought I had commented on this already but the Adrian Smith Nurgle guy is just amazing, I love his grotesque face and the banner pole.

so as i sold my contemptor a few mths ago ive had a idea for a couple of dreads based on the old "eddy" style ones ,what do people think ?

Hmmm, not sure as I think the front of the mantic dwarf-mech will be difficult to alter.

The original dread's body was essentially a top heavy figure of 8 when viewed side on, I wonder if that could be redone with plastic pipe and plasticard?

Some awesome stuff here, that first Nurgle Champion in particular is really cool. Would you mind sharing how you did the green slime stuff that's oozing out of his wounds?

Awesome work man! I really like the way you've painted that herald. Probably going to pick one of them up now. Keep up the good work

Thanks guys.
Kaiserjez the green oze is just clear gloss nail varnish with some of gw's new waywatcher glaze mixed it.

Mgs. Yeah i see what you mean i think i would need to raise and narrow the waist area abit. Looking at this pic it looks like it could work. The models only £9 so wont be much of a loss.

Guess I'm off to Boots to buy some clear nail varnish then. Wonder if I'll get any funny looks!

Nah it's metrosexual! Lol

Allways loved the old peanut teminators

Ah, an updated version of this ancient model:


That's excellent, I demand you build a squad of them.
