I seem to have missed a few updates, it’s been good to catch up on your projects. You seem to be going BIG at the moment! The Fire Incarnate and the Zombie Dragon are looking particularly cool, but not as cool as your Lord of Undeath, neat conversion!

Ah thanks, I never played fantasy so I'm not particularly knowledgeable about when the stuff came out. Those terrain pieces are looking cool, two of them are very fitting for Halloween having just passed.

I've been catching up on things myself to be honest. Bigger is certainly better at the moment wanted some easy wins instead of slogging through all those pesky infantry models The lord of undeath is definitely my favourite conversion and paint job of all my recent miniatures.

Ha yeah, I thought the same as I received them on the 30th and I unboxed them had a good look at them, thinking they'll be plenty of good examples of skulls about.

Also in the same Kickstarter box. Was this new landsknecht giant. Which I cannot wait to paint.

Some cool projects on the go here!

I have loved that old zombie dragon since I first saw it ridden by a Mortarch vampire lord in a White Dwarf battle rep years and years ago. I love the weight and feel and nostalgia factor of metal models but I'm glad I never had to pin a beast like that together!

The FW fire elemental is a really cool model, I have not seen it before - and the scheme is coming together nicely.

The terrain bits are cool and seem to fit in really nicely with the "GIANTS" theme! the three skull rocks stacked together are my favourite piece.

New giant is a really lovely sculpt too.

Thanks for sharing - excited to see more!

I agree, landsknecht giant is really cool. Not to mention an unusual concept. Even counting D&D cloud giants, I don't think I've seen such a well dressed giant in any system.

Evening everybody,

@tzurk,

Thank you very much! The colour scheme when I started was very much a case of I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, it's ok, I'm liking it now. The start of looked horrific but I think it's working out well now. I like the giant sculpt for sure!

@Syro

Yeah I really dig the landsknecht giant. I thought I'd best finish my bone Giant before moving on to him. So I did and immediately started working on the new giant.

The boney giant looks great, and I’m pleased to see you landsknecht giant is in you Empire colours, he’s gonna look awesome leading out the lads

Cheers Gobert much appreciated. Initially I was going to go rogue on the giant and paint him in a different much darker black and red scheme. But a mate told me to stay true to my yellow mercenaries do this is where I went.

Been painting his face, I've tried to go for a boozy weary looking brute. I've seen it done many times. But usually I'm more of a wash and highlights kinda person. Hopefully it's working well.

I think that you got the boozy look across quite well.

Yeah he looks like he washes his breakfast down with a keg of beer alright!

Thanks guys, glad to know I'm heading in the right direction.

Bit more work on the giant and a picture of my next more giant giant.

There won't be any progress for a few weeks as I'm away with work sadly.

A bit late to comment but your collection of giants is shaping up nicely! Really ace job on the bone giant, and well-done catching the boozy glow.

Thanks, I really enjoy a giant on the table top. They rarely do me well. But I just enjoy them being along for the ride.

Thanks I was really happy to get the bone giant off the painting desk he'd been there for far to long.

I like the duelists, I remember the first from Warhammer Quest but where is the second one from?

There were a few miniatures released under the Warhammer empire citizens name. He's one of them. I think he came in a twin pack with the duelist with two pistols.

I've been converting up another elemental beast incarnate model to go with the original FW one. It's a near straight copy of a conversion I'd seen online by Ex Profundis.

That beast incarnate is really cool. It reminds more of something out of the Hannibal TV series when it went all trippy

Really cool start on the beast incarnate, that posture is really menacing.

Reminds me of Princess Mononoke. Great job!

Good evening.

@Kid Kyoto, a quick Google tells me this is a anime film? Presumably something horrible happens in it if something similar to this beast turns up.

@Don Qui Hotep, Thanks while I am still tempted to convert one of the front fists/ claws to one of the GW giants, preferably one holding an empire peasant I am satisfied with the middy look it has so far.

@gobert, thanks much appreciated. I've not seen the series maybe one to go and watch to get a colour palette for the beast.

No progress on it tonight as I've received my new skeletons from north star and have put together 30 of them with bows. These are going to be a bit more gritty and dirty looking than my first undead army. Well that's my hope at least.

I also had my two bone Giants armed with bows turn up from Rebel Wargames which is a 3D printing company in Ireland, they're sculpted by highland miniatures.

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/RebelWargames?ref=yr_purchases

Not a big update, just to say paint has hit the pair of Giants.

Not much time to work on models this weekend, however I am nearly finished my two bone Giants. Im happy with them. May need to water down some PVA and make sure the leaves stay in place.

Giants cannot wander alone, they need support.

Currently on the painting station the first 11 of 30 archers from Oathmark.

Mini review: the models went together a lot easier than others I've put together GW & Warlord Games. Due to the legs and torsos being one bit. Warlord was the most time consuming on that part. The bits on the sprue was great, 5 skeletons with options for 5 bows, HW & shields or spears. I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic look to the bowmen. They do lack the crispness of both GW and warlord games though.

I'd rate them all on par, as they all provide a different need/ want for me.

Waiting on some Ushabti sized archers to turn up as well.

They’re a very dynamic bunch of skellybobs, the one on the right is cool. He looks very happy with a day of archery

Nice skellintons, giant and otherwise! Good plastic skeleton archers are actually something i'm on the lookout for, so it's good to know that the oathmark ones are all right!

gobert wrote:They’re a very dynamic bunch of skellybobs, the one on the right is cool. He looks very happy with a day of archery

Thanks, I think if I was starting a skeleton army I would use GW/ Warlord Games skeletons for spearmen/ swords and shield and the Oathmark for just the archers. It's very nice to have some cheap skeleton archers on the market.

amazingturtles wrote:Nice skellintons, giant and otherwise! Good plastic skeleton archers are actually something i'm on the lookout for, so it's good to know that the oathmark ones are all right!

Yeah I was the same which is why I bought 5packs of 30 I've written some army lists and I'll probably have 30 Archers made up.

A minor big of progress on the army as I've annoyingly been busy at work and too tired in my spare time to hobby. Did a bit more painting and I out together a Preyton.

I'm currently on the lookout for a toad dragon to use in my swamp monsters chaos army.

Wow! The giant skeletons bows must be made of whole trees, they’re that big! They look with their little mates, who I’m sure like having them about !

Yeah thankfully their dark lair is near some massive woods.

Been working on some infantry with coffin shields the first 10 of the 120 to be made.

Awesome skellyboppers, are they warlord? Great idea with the coffin lid shields, very gothic. Am I right in thinking the old GW skeleton or maybe zombie kit had some coffin shields?

 Olthannon wrote:

Thanks, I saw a unit of skeletons with coffin shields in the old army book and thought I'd run with it.


They're the Oathmark skeletons, though I do have some of the warlord ones in my skeleton closet.

I think the current one has a few broken coffin shields from GW. They also sold a metal pack of coffin shields which is were I press moulded these ones from.

It's a classic choice for any self respecting skeleton armourer and you can't beat a coffin lids for availability when you literally can't get out of the ground without bringing one with you.

Coffin shields! Full of character and a lot of fun. Now i want to see skeletons fighting with spears made from metal cemetery fences, or some such

Thanks guys much appreciated.

Thankfully the cemeteries of Morr are brimming with willing volunteers.

amazingturtles wrote:Coffin shields! Full of character and a lot of fun. Now i want to see skeletons fighting with spears made from metal cemetery fences, or some such

That is actually a great idea for spearmen. I haven't got any in my army, but rest assured the movement trays will hopefully be brimming with such things.

Actually the spears are pretty easy, i am sure you find willing chaos players to lend you some of their garden fences that are literally everywhere

I love the coffin lid shields, something worth me noting if I ever do the dreamed of skeleton horde!

Your painting is excellent- the skin tones on all these giants is fabulous!

Crack on mate. I made a little push mould to get all numbers I need.

Thanks, I'm a big fan of my Giants. Which is why I have so many. Hopefully I'll get a few more painted up.


I've started making a bit more progress on the swamp monster army. There's going to be two different sized Fen beasts. Those on the original 40mm bases and 6 on 50mm square bases.

Hope you enjoy the fenbests.

Nice use of hot glue, I like how it looks all painted up. Properly mucky. Really enjoying seeing your undead hoard continue to grow.

I really like your swamp monsters

Thanks, I really do not like using the hot glue gun. I'm not very controlled in it's use. But it's giving my the desired effect thankfully! I think once this latest portion is complete it'll be the end of the undead horde, certainly for the foreseeable at least!

Syro_ wrote:I really like your swamp monsters

Thanks they're very much a creation of love. Completed 5 as of this evening and I've got another 21 more to do. Nothing like making large projects.

Thats a cool looking unit. Great job getting the to be unique. The green really works well for a swamp creature

Nothing like making large projects.

I agree, there's something very satisfying about finishing a large project, and it looks so good when it's large.

Bit more work on the swamp army. I took a cast of a stick to use as trees on bases. I hope it's worked ok.

It is definitely working for me! I like the mix of different basing material, looks good and marshy. Love the beat-up sword stuck out of the tree and that flopping pink tongue.

Heh heh, good point. Maybe I meant theoretically it would feel good to finish a large project
Or at least finishing major milestones where it could be considered finished until you decide to add more.

That really is great basing, swamp basing is hard to pull off that mix of wet mud and vegetation but you did it well!

@Syro, going to make a list and check models off and reward myself with the ability to spend models on new models. This'll hopefully help my not being able to finish things.

Thanks I'm pretty happy with how it's going. Though I may add some water texture on the mud to make it a bit more moist/ wet.

I've nearly finished these two Fenhulks now. I am very happy with how these models have come together.

They look great together! Really good work making both models distinct. Terrifying on the table together. Happy Holidays!

A great pair of Fenhulks, with their bases so large it looks like they’re part of a diorama. Especially with how the foliage matches up! Excellent work on the bases, the mud certainly reads as wet, what did you use?

Hope you have a good Christmas !

Thanks I didn't even think about that, but you're right side by side with the Truthsayer in the middle. Definitely diorama vibes.

I used Vallejo russian thick mud. It dries matt, but I am going to add some water effect over the top. So it definitely will look wet and not just be photography wizardry.


The past two days I've been a powerhouse of converting. Made a unit of 9 Albion Giants but I'm waiting on some heads which I got from a Facebook group.

Today I also received some celts models from warlord games which I've made a start on. These will be getting added to all the big monster bases.

I hope you like them as much as I do.

The woad warriors! Love Celts, nicely done on the chest hair.

Well there’s something you don’t see everyday on a miniature! The tattoos on the first dude look good

They are some memorable miniatures, all right. Well done!

Hey, where's the NSFW tags!?

Ha well nothing gets past you guy's. Ona totally different 'vein' here's some dwarfs with a goblin hewer.

That’s a great contraption! It reminds me of the tree cutting machine from The Lorax. Great job getting it painted up

Definitely one of the more unique sculpts to come out of the Storm of Chaos campaign, nice to see one painted up!

Good job on 'Mad' Malakai's wondrous contraption! I always wanted to pick up that mini myself

I forgot all about the Goblin Hewer! Made my day, thanks for sharing. Nice job on the slayers' hair also. Looks like a more natural brown-orange.

What a ridiculous (in a good way) model to follow a naked beserker!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for all the kind words about the goblin hewer. It is a very fun model and showed some of the wackyness that 6th edition had in it.

It would seem I have not showed this BLOG the love it deserves. To be honest I haven't done much painting. I've very much had a lul in motivation to any painting recently.

I am hoping to change this! I purchased a toad dragon off eBay and I've put some paint to a few other things this evening.

That is one heck of a dragon. The scales look a lot like leaves or algae which is very fitting for a toad dragon!

That's a huuuuuuge model (and a super cool sculpt)! Nice start on the two-tone scales.

Skin tones on three-horns looking good too, natural shadows esta bien.

Looking forward to more!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice. Love a toad dragon. How heavy is it? Looks huge!

amazingturtles wrote:That is one heck of a dragon. The scales look a lot like leaves or algae which is very fitting for a toad dragon!

He'll be used in my Albion beats list so I was wanting something suitably beastly and I think he'll mix in well with the other beasts.

Yeah he is a big model for sure. On a 200mmX200mm base. Easily the biggest model in this army. Still dwarfed by the chaos mammoth models.

Considering.how much I detest painting human/ humanoid skin. I am actually enjoying painting up these guys and the Giants.

Don Qui Hotep wrote:Niiiiiiiiiiiiice. Love a toad dragon. How heavy is it? Looks huge!

I'd say somewhere between 0.5-1Kg. I'd say his tail weighs just as much as his fat stumpy body.

Thanks for the kind words and hopefully I'll get an update out soon

Now that’s a face only a mother toad dragon could love, and erm, well, the little chap is well, erm, armed?. Nice flesh tones though... I would expect his weapon to be a slightly darker tone perhaps?

PS - I’m glad I’m not in the office as I had t spotted the NSFW tag in the post title!

Certainly is an ugly toad to be sure. Not much progress has been made on him. Don't know if I'm being overly critical of myself but whenever I start painting it I just don't feel like I'm doing the model or myself justice.

I needed to clear some space from my desk so I started clearing up the skeletons, I fortuitously got a knock at the door and a parcel handed to me with some 3d printed minis I am going to use as my Ushabti in my Barrow Kings army.

Pretty scary skeleton hoard. Rattle rattle, clang clang clang.

Thanks, I'm enjoying the skeletons. I'm putting minimum effort into them and it probably shows. But I've painted so many and I just can't be bothered with bones any more.

However that said I've painted my Ushabti stand ins for my Barrow Kings army. They're not completed yet but I enjoy the look of the unit at the moment.

I've also done a little work on the toad dragon and a giant. Not a lot but just enough to show movement.

Toad-dragon doesn’t get any prettier from that angle either. Nice paintwork on his maws though. As for the skeletons, they look pretty handy for a quick job

@Gobert he's trying his hardest but sadly there's a lot of toxic masculinity running around, especially with the albions all running around naked sporting 6packs.

Done a bit more on the Toady. Mostly just doing the first bit of the base, adding his goaders and painting those pretty little teeth of his.

Maybe soon he'll be the bell of the ball.

I love it! Scenic bases are always welcome for these larger models, especially when there's a narrative. I like the bloody guy in the back. "Wait, what did I sign up for exactly?"

I'm loving the storytelling around the larger bases with the warriors driving the toad dragon forwards

Been absent from my blog for a bit.

Mostly just due to work commitments getting the better of me. But I have been productive.

I've bought myself a nice 3d printer which I'm having lots of fun with.

I've been printing mercenaries from Reptilian Overlords patreon and I'm backing grimforges Kickstarter.

I've also collected some squigs off the internet and been playing around in various softwares to just create cool looking monsters.

Anyway, enough with my babble. Here's some pictures

I've got the RO models to start printing once my undead are a little further along the painting queue. Very nice kits that I'm glad to see someone printing here

Nice hoard o squigs!

Love the flying squig!

Flappy squig! I'm sure he will achieve great heights of squigness

Good Afternoon,

Thanks for all the kind words. I am very pleased with how both the mercenaries and the Squigs are coming on.

Thanks I'm glad you like the models. That was how I reacted when I came up with it, so I'm glad I'm not alone.

Today I started on some orcs, using Warploque miniatures ogres shrank down and with some resin heads that I got off eBay from Spellcrow.


Hope you like, hopefully should get some paint on them tonight.

A little update with the orcs. Nothing to shout and rave about but I did paint one up and enjoyed the outcome. Not 100% sold yet, but I do like the darkness of it.

Thoughts?

Looking good so far.

Thanks, I like the skin and if I carry on down that path I'll definitely be going with that colour scheme.

I've been working on my Mercenaries this weekend and managed to get 10 done. Very happy with how they're coming along. I need more practice with learning how to do supports so I'm not leaving marks on the fingers.

Great work on the yellow, especially the shadows around the, aheh, codpiece.

Oh I like those orcs, they fit the old world orc aesthetic nicely and bring a bit of character

He's a very solid orc, both paintwise and just how he looks! And some nifty pikemen

amazingturtles wrote:He's a very solid orc, both paintwise and just how he looks! And some nifty pikemen

Thanks, I enjoyed the paint job too. Mixing powders with acrylic paints to get the skin tone I was after.

In follow up news I have been printing a new squig, this one is to be used as a proxy wyvern, very happy with the menacing pose he's got.

A few of the prints getting a lick of paint.

Skimming by I thought they were a tray of cupcakes.

I must be hungry.

Nice squigs though!

@Kid Kyoto, these cup cakes are more likely to take a bite out of you.

It's been a while since I've posted anything and I don't really know why.

This weekend I've been expanding on my already large ogre army.

I've been painting some more ogre bulls and a BSB.

I also printed out a new Bruiser I'll show him off when I'm a bit further along.

Hope you enjoy the bulls.

Ogre shield wall is definitely imposing!

Those ogres are looking awesome, great work.

Love the juxtaposition of the Ogre and his pretty flowers! Great job on them, they’re a really imposing army

Thanks guys,

I'm glad that the new bulls have gone down well. I'll try and get some photos after the weekend as they should all be completed and based.

In other news I've been making two ogre mammoth riders which will be wielding cannons and be used as my ironblasters.

They're pretty small mammoths in comparison to other mammoths I've got. But different breeds and all that. Happy enough with the prints.

Mammoth on the right looks like he's about to get an exam from that Ogre

 Theophony wrote:

Yeah I didn't notice that, just thought he'd give a Sense of scale. Poor mammoth.

I've made a bit of headway but I've mostly been playing games with my spare time. I've added a rider to one of the mammoths and I'll be greenstuffing all his baggage and gear soon to go with him.

I've also been trying to make a few gaming aids. As I think they'll help with pictures of games especially.

Blimey you've been busy! You've got some awesome FW models, shame they don't make a lot of them anymore. The toaddragon is especially cool. Interested to see you 3D printing adventures as well!

Thanks, I haven't finished the toad dragon. But I have moved on.

I've got a fantasy double day tournament next month and I'd been convinced to submit a list where I needed to do a hefty amount of painting.
Two of which are the sabertooths below.


The printer will be going a bit in August as I've seen some empire minis I really want.

Oh those are wonderful!!

Those sabertooth tigers look cool

Cool cats! How’d you do the the spots, they look great and blend nicely with the rest of the fur

endtransmission wrote:Oh those are wonderful!!

Thank you very much, they were actually some misprints that I thought it is definitely better to just try and paint them up and try to overlook the misprints to get them on the gaming table and avoid wasteage.

Syro_ wrote:Those sabertooth tigers look cool

Thanks, it'll be my first tournament where I use chaff instead of throwing units in the way as chaff.

gobert wrote:Cool cats! How’d you do the the spots, they look great and blend nicely with the rest of the fur

Thanks it was just done with a flexible stencil and where it hadn't quite worked I just painted a few spots on.

So I finished basing the sabertooths and used some bushes to cover a leg which didn't print on the female one.

I also finished painting up my new Bruiser and BSB for a tournament in a few weeks in the UK.

Just have to start on the mammoths.

Good evening,

I've started on the first of my two mammoth riders which are proxying as ironblasters. I think they fit the bill pretty well.

Needs basing properly, but after that he's definitely ready for the tournament as I'm running out of time and Its soon approaching.

Looking good howie. I like the Uruk-Kai-esqu helmet on the Ironblaster

Great job on the mammoth, a great model with a cool paint job too! Hopefully we’ll get to see some army shots when you get the ogres together for the competition

zahnib wrote:Looking good howie. I like the Uruk-Kai-esqu helmet on the Ironblaster

Great pics! The flowery bases make a great contrast to the minis. They look a formidable force

Those ogres look cool! Nice looking army and the bases are neat too!

gobert wrote:Great pics! The flowery bases make a great contrast to the minis. They look a formidable force

Thanks I'm a firm believer that bases can make or break a model. So I try to make them look as good as I can within my limitations.

Flapjack wrote:Those ogres look cool! Nice looking army and the bases are neat too!

Thanks, I got similar comments at a recent tournament so I'm really glad to hear that my hard work is looking well. Apart from a few rhinox riders that is the end for now for the ogre kingdoms.

The tournament was a roaring success. Had loads of fun and met some new and familiar faces. I however came 28th out of 34. So maybe next time I'll do better.

Which leads me on to getting the dogs of war back up and running. I've b een delighted with highland games recent work and it sent my printer whirling into action.

Hope you like yellow.

I certainly do like yellow that's going to be a nice base of fire I think. Those shields also look impressive.

Thanks man much appreciated!

The shields haven't come out with the wooden grooves as they're only 1cm by 1cm, but I still think they'll look cool.

Much appreciated Flapjack!

The hand gunners are looking good, it’s great that you’re able to make use of your printer so well! Glad you had fun at the tourney even if you didn’t rank highly, there’s always next time as you say

Highland really have been doing a great job recently havn't they. I don't need an empire-like army but I'm still printing some

That's an nice stack of old Codices and Army books in the background of your army shot Yellow is looking great as always and those 3D printed shields looks rad, I hope they turned out well.

I've been fairly busy doing events recently.

But I've found myself in a lul for motivation which is worrying as I've got to print and paint at least two more armies for events this year.

I finished my bretonnian Peasant army which I was really pleased with and have started a slannesh legions of chaos list.

Love the testudo blocks of peasants. Is it for kings of war?

Those shield walls are amazing work, just fantastically done, kudos!

Wow, I'll bet these shields were some work - they look outstanding, as does all the work you have done. Hooray for Bretonnia!!

Awesome work on those shields howie! That must’ve been one hell of an undertaking, the crispness and consistency is off the hook! Is if fully Freehand or an airbrush template? Double points if the former, kudos if the latter!

I thought they were multi-based, they were so tightly grouped. Really great work
