Oh man that table looks awesome! Even better with minis ready to kick some booty! To bad for those boys though, they need a lot more bodies to kick them termies in the junk

Suprise!!!! finished mini's




........somewhere..............







Just kidding! I have some right here to show you! I finished the last of the models for LittleH's gaming pieces. They were fun too but a few sculpts proved problematic with soft or nil definition but I hope I still did them enough justice. I also tried a different approach to painting them with a softer palette and more of a washed look? was good to see them progress faster this way and I think it suits the theme of the miniatures well so all up I've done some different things with the bunch I had to paint and now they can be packed and sent off to young H

here's the latest bunch!

Horny trumpet guy!

Archery guy!

Elf-man!

Old religious dude!

Kick ass armor chick!

Sneaky Mr no detail!

Santa's skinny bro!


Hope you like 'em guys!

Oh man ! Little H is gonna pee with excitement !

Nice to see you back in the saddle again Damo. Nice opening salvo!

Always glad to see Damo updating. But was even happier to see "horny trumpet guy" was actually a guy with a trumpet/horn and not a kingdom death model

Edit: also old religious guy wants two of something.

Absolutely gorgeous, Damo! Really good to see you back in the world of paint

I love the softer colors you got on these guys. Definitely agree that its fitting. More realistic, I guess you could say. Fitting for fantasy minis, where you need those dustier colors.

And ORKS!!! Damn it man do I love how you paint your skin colors... And the metals work perfectly with it, too.
Lastly, I love the Zone Mortalis board. For the warped floors, just a bit of sanding or chipping with a dremel and you should be perfectly set! Add in some claw marks and I think you'll have a really good table with a story behind it.

just point him away from the models dude!! can you send me your details again and i'll try and get them on the way this week for you guys! i'd love a little review of what you like and what you don't when they arrive if that's cool? I know I struggle with the older casts but ill wait and see when you get them what you think. thanks again for the Bane-wagon too, I will finish it one day and painting for your young'un was a pleasure I'm willing to replicate whenever you need now and in the future mate!

Thanks Gits! my saddle needed a dust off I've been totally hairbrained and busy with so much other stuff I haven't had the time or inclination to paint sadly but I am getting there i'm just a touch slower than I used to update

Hey Hey Ramos, you have been super productive with your chorus line of Knights (yeah I've been there ) and put me to shame with my own stuff so I HAD to paint something! the washier look does fit the fantasy style on these models and is easier due to the detail size on them, if I were to paint Infinity i'd do the same I think. I just need to get an automotive touch up gun to spray the zone mortalis then I can start detailing it with the airbrush

Trukk fo meh boyz finally got sum transport for 'em! went for a cobbled together metal look with a few spots of colour on some panels heavy mudded and with some rust on weldy points and smoke stains where the exhaust would belch rancid black soot! tried to get some plates to look more like heavy iron with a light light drybrush of metal.

deez boyz are gunna ride in style!

Wonderful work Damo. Da boyz 'as got dere wheelz! Perfect match for the squad's paint job too.

Nice Trukk!

Thanks Gits glad I bought it back from the brink of too metal! should transfer well to all the other vehicles when I get to them

Cheers dude!


I was also asked by Whaley to 'chuck some paint' on a Stompa i'm giving him and I started weathering the metals, which is pretty much all of it! I think for a quick session it's starting to come along nicely, i'm actually pretty pleased
since he's got Death Skulls I popped a little blue on random plates which i'll accentuate when I do some details.









hope you like!

Excellent work on the stompa. You can still get the "theme" of the piece in spite of the rust & weathering, which I think is all too often lost is pieces like this.

The trukk looks like a solid foundation to build from for the other vehicles. Should look good with a whole livestock auctions worth of them calming across the table. At least one needs to be lowered and have a Honda badge.

Stompa looks good too. Should be the big, venerable machine an Ork Titan would be. I can't imagine the greenskins would have it have it shined up like an Imperial Titan.

The Ork stuff is looking amazing, and the Board looks like it would be fantastic fun to play on. I also like the job you've done on the fantasy/LotR stuff as well.

Thanks guys :-) I am looking forward to doing more of my table when I can! and the fantasy type models were a cool divergence for me as i'd not painted anyhting like that before, which is probably good seeing this new game around the corner :-)

He guys I got a package from Whaley and I was totally stoked! so stoked in fact I forgot to msg him and say thanks it was full of wonderful models and some suprises for myself such as the 2nd HH novel and the Crimson Fist anniversary model also tucked away was some SH Termies to paint for him as Lamenters so that'll be fun!

one thing I got was a couple of boxes of mega nobz! so I assembled them as The Bulldozer of Backstone's bodyguard I was a bit excited to get them and see what they looked like! dummied up the heads on them to see who's personality worked best with each body.

and I started laying base colours on an Inquisitorial warband for Whaley too, going to go dark and brooding on them with a touch of practical ostentation, a little smattering of Blanche and a dollop of Pyriel and they'll be good to go

anyway here's the Manz squad for perusal.










and here's a preview of the warband, reds, blacks and golds/bronze will feature.



thanks for stopping by guys more progress during the week.

Looking fab bud, Orks look great, looking forward to seeing them.

Inquizzy stuff looks awesome, really can't wait to see your work on them, they are going to be awesome.

I always liked the Inquisinaught model (I'm calling it that cause I can't remember his name)
Plus, in his rules he can use orbital bombardment as much as he likes IIRC.

Always a relief when the package makes it.

Manz look good. I like the guy in the last pic, he looks grumpy, like he'd rather be doing something else.

My Inq models definitly aren't on the conversion scale for those high level guys, but I think they will work well enough for the table and display shelf.

Really cool stuff there Damo, and the ork heads are looking fantastic as normal!

Stompa looks great. Good job with all the different metals... Still looks cohesive, but creates that cobbled-together look without a riot of colour.

Righteo dudes! I have some more work in progress to show you some boring primed mini's that will be coming up soonish and some more work on the Stompa for me 'o mate Whaley

shall I start the boringness first up? yeah I will.

O.k, these are 2 more Kans and a Ard boy for Gits!


and a squad of Mega Nobz now....boring silver


and a squad I'm going to paint the hell out of when I get to them! Terminators! I swapped the arms around a bit to get some good poses and sense of action


I got to wash the warband today as well, they all look much better a little darker now and you can see the inquisitorial feel of them juuuuust bubbling through.






and Stompy McStompaton got some more riveting work with washes and weathering i'd say the main plates are just about done if Whaley thinks it looks o.k? next it'll be detailing and dirtying up a little and he should be pretty done I reckon! was going to be a quick brush job to get it looking good enough to send and game with but I kinda couldn't just do a half job for anyone.




and last but not least I got some new dice and gave them a test roll! seems that these ones may just may be good for me as they didn't roll too bad for me!

so much awesomeness!!! loving that warband

Oh damn! New dice that know how to let orks shoot! Those will do just fine. Everything is really top notch as usual but something did really grab my eye. The single plate on the stompa that is half blue half metal. The raw metal effect you did on that looks friggin NOICE dude, how did you manage that? It really looks like it's shrugged off bullets and maybe a missile or two.


I know, it's weird to gush over a metal plate on such a bad ass model but that really does it

Many great artists have a certain style that you know when you see it, it has to be them, no-one else seems to hit that spot.

You are officially amoungst them. Damo Style is absolutely here to stay.

Brilliant work, the problem you now have is we expect it!

Damo can't slack no more! LOL!

Man, everything is looking so good! Which parts on big K are the problem parts? Some sick MS paint might help.

What to say that has not been said yet? All looks absolutely great!

Warband is awesome, and the metals on Stompy are top notch!

Great work. I'm still loving the worn metal look you've got on whatever you touch.

Thanks guys so I'm kinda like King Midas but everything I touch turns to worn rusty metal? ..... Eh! I can live with that

the metal is pretty much just washes and silver paint and the ability to feel o.k about wiping wash off a model with your fingers i'll see if I can go into details when I do the MegaNobz.

Old captain seat is turning out o.k Whaley no sweat
