Ooooh those orcs look a treat! That reminds me of the Lord of the rings animated movie for some reason. That'll be fun to see finished.

LittleH has now got some Orcs finished and ready to pounce and plunder his games! I kept them subdued on purpose and used only browns and earthy tones with a grey rocky base with moss for contrast, they turned out o.k I reckon and while some of the individual pics are a bit in need of focus hopefully you can still get the vibe












I might do the Hobbit next along with my entry into Gits Mantis maker comp

I just love the lichen on the rocks! The shaman is especially good with the little bit of glow effect.

Damn man, time keeps getting away from me lately so it's a while since I've checked but feth me do I love seeing your work! The colours and blends that you produce are so natural, each bringing the respective model to life in a way that I can only dream of right now! Keep it up buddy, it's easy to see how much you enjoy painting, which is truly reflected in your excellent work

Thanks so much as always! They do look pretty cool all bunched up together :-) I started Bilbo and I was really looking forward to doing his face but one side has a large (for the model size) metal ridge :-( I've tried to clean it up as best I could but the positive thing is it's sort of hidden behind his little sword :-) I also started the two SH Termies and accidentally started them in metallic Red/gold thanks to not watching where I was putting my paint! Lol, s'o.k though I'll fixy :-)

I am going to put some feelers out there to do some commission painting of any character models if anyone has any they need done? I'm trying to earn a little extra money and if I do some smaller jobs of between 1-10 miniatures I can do them fairly fast. if you know anyone then shoot me a PM and we'll work out a price etc.

Oh and the lichen was I think dried glue that sort of roughed up a bit, it was already on the bases from BigH so maybe he can shed some light? I just thought it looked lichen-y so painted it as such :-)

I do find it quite amusing you've painted a Frodo model with Bilbo's trademark jacket and waistcoat, but frankly you've done such an awesome job it doesn't matter, especially as part of a generic fantasy model collection. Lovely work on what I know is a very tiny and quite fiddly model!

Can't wait to see this Mantis piece.

Bilbo, Frodo, they're all little hairy buggers

got a little more work on the Mantis comp entry today, it's got a lot of washing and shading to go for the base until I start on the main event of the Mantis Warrior!

The orcs and hobbit look lovely. Nice understated earth tones. The diorama also looks wonderfully evocative even in it's WIP form. I think its going to look amazing when done!

Thanks Az! :-) the Orcs were fun to do in those sort of colours and the comp entry is really fun for me to do, it's lit a little fire of inspiration once I got an image of the theme in my head!

Nice job on the hobbit, Nerd'. The one I painted of that also had an issue with the face moulding.

Good start on the mantis-orama.

The Diorama is coming along really well, I've done the base now and only need to paint the Marine Errant and the Mantis Warrior now, so shouldn't be much longer!

Abusing my poor Marines Errant...

Even if it IS a great looking little piece and I love the idea (very gritty whites, love em!), This is a tragedy and utter fiction!
We'll need to have words on how real history ended, nerd. A few choice words.

My people will contact your people.





(Seriously, though, nerdo... Great work on the diorama. Love how quickly you got your idea fleshed out. Very gritty, grimdark style, as we've come to expect from you. Im looking forward to seeing this finished... Looks like I'll have my work cut out for me in this competition =)

Oh that's hilarious . We were talking at AdeptiCon how nerdfest (whose models were on display courtesy of whalemusic) is Ramos' Aussie rival (in friendliest terms, of course!) and this just confirms it! The question is, was Gits in on this??

I had nothing to do with it. I've been very circumspect about not giving any contestants ideas. I'd rather see what everyone comes up with on their own.

Nope, it was all me! as soon as I had my idea I just knew I had to get in with a swift jab at Ramos and his Errant Marines and keep in mind that the Marines Errant have the word 'Err' in their name.......

Finished the Mantis Maker entry, I wanted a moody atmosphere for it so went with a quiet almost slow composition with the mantis walking slowly away from the Errant marine as if in thought about his actions and what it means to be a mantis Warrior.

so without further hesitation I present my entry:

"Who am I to prove brother Ramos wrong?"
