Post by: Waaagh_Gonads


It has been quite some time (years) since I have posted much of anything outside the DCM forums and would like to share the shenanigans of what I am up to for modelling, painting and terraining.

What will follow will be an ecclectic mix of whatever I am up to at the time but as with all these blogs, I hope it will motivate me to get more done.

Unless overly excited I will likely be posting only finished models or units as I complete them.

First off my gaming/painting room.

Time for another clean up...





Normally I do my work at the old kitchen table but the small table is being used currently so I can paint in the media room at night and watch Game Of Thrones from the start in the lead up to the new season. About to start season 1 episode 5 tonight.

It will be interesting to see what you are working on.
Having a dedicated space is great for the spurring on to get stuff done I find, don’t you think?

First up is a unit of Northkin Battle Bears for by Trollkin Army.

Next up are some of my models rebased from WHFB Orcs and Goblins to AOS Destruction.

6mm cork mountings, bought in sheets from my local hardware store. 1 pack of 6 sheets for $8US and a sheet can do about 200 of the 25mm bases shown below.

Did the bases up in batches of 30 for the first lot then satin varnished. Pinned the transferred models after I touched up any bits that needed redo and light Matt varnish over the lot to remove the satin effect on the base.



Only about 400 models to go from the army....

Bought in a comic store in NYC back in 2007 for $15US then spent close to $200 to frame it. I loved the x-men comics as a teen when I collected them and it is a wonderful picture.
It is the black and white of this...

And now we move into 54mm Inquisitor from the early 2000s.

I have a heap of models that I have collected over the years and the first (Non-GW) one is a 2 headed beast from the Helldorado range
The piece of flesh is toilet paper, folded, soaked in PVA glue and then painted over red with blood for the blood god last.







Next month I hope to get the chos magus painted. He is already assembled, ready for undercoat.

I spent the last 2 days chopping and gluing high density mattress foam to transport models in my battlefoam bags. So not much work done. Pics will come later in the week when all is dried.

March goals are to rebase AOS models, paint the chaos magus (already underway) a necromunda model, the above mentioned foam which is essentially done, and finish my last few zone mortalis terrain pieces. I was going to try and do the trollkin sea king but there is likely 30 hours in just painting it.

Anyway, here is the next batch of night goblins on new bases.


Now I’m off to drink beer and watch series 3 Game Of Thrones episodes on my projector as I go through the whole show in the lead up to the finale season, add sand to bases, paint the magus and Eyros Slagmyst, Necromunda bounty hunter.
Truely an amazing time in my hobbling life.

Ah, I remember seeing that Inquisitor Chaos model in a White Dwarf back in the day.. You've done a great job on him! I'm also digging those Warmahordes models, Grim Angus looks like a cool post-apocalyptic character (I've no knowledge about Warmahordes..) and that Lookout with the snowman camo gave me a chuckle!

If I were to give critique, some of your models seem a bit glossy and could benefit from a coat of matt varnish. Could just be the lighting, of course..

The foam sets I made up a few weekends ago.

I use 3, 5 and 7 inch foam and get it cut to size at the store. Australian's go to Clark's Rubber, not sure equivalent stores in other countries but high end medium density foam mattresses would be much cheaper but issue of storing and using it all.

Then a thin sheet of medium density foam (about 1cm deep) is added for the base

I use a extendable box cutter knife or an electric bread knife to cut. Larger models get custom cut outs but otherwise I try to do generic square or circular foam so multiple armies can use them.

They are cut to size to fit battle foam carry bags.

Well done on those storage trays! I like the great work on the minis too but I keep staring at the double hand grenades for some reason...

Now it is time for trollkin thumper.

Has been a winner in every game so far with Grim1 in Kriel Company Theme Force.

Also just realised for some reason I have turned the tartan pattern 90 degrees to what had been doing (green now runs length ways instead of across the sashes). No way I'm going back to fix it though...

Off on holidays for a week in the Cook Islands with my wife from tomorrow (kids staying home with my mother to look after them).

So this will be the only update for the next week.

Continuing the trollblood theme as the Oceanic Team Tournament and its fully painted requirement rapidly approaches, here is the first of my 2 Trollkin War Wagon Battle Engines.

Painted in sub assemblies and then pinned and glued in place:
x1 Main body and yoke
x4 wheels
x2 buffalo
x5 crew
x1 main gun and turret
x1 main gun blast shield
x3 loose cannon shells
x1 base

So 18 sub assemblies.

The metal is meant to look worn and dirtied to fit in with the rest of the army scheme.

After a much needed holiday the second war wagon.

Went with a bronze metal work to differentiate from the first but techniques otherwise exactly the same.





More Warmahordes cominig in the next few weeks as I aproach the big Oceania team Tournament next weekend.
Then it will be a variety of other games systems to give myself a break.

Next up the current pride and joy of my Trollbloods, and I think of all my Warmahordes... The Sea King

PLEASE CLICK ON THE PICS BELOW FOR LARGE, CLEAR, NON-COMPRESSED PICS IN THE GALLERY

I will never, ever paint another one of these.

Skin was airbrushed in an hour and a half, and very happy with it at the time, then around another 38 and a half hours to finish the model.

Phenomenal amount of detail that requires careful painting to avoid buggering the skin.
Then when I finished I realised all the other colours have subdued the skin effect I had. Need really good light now to see the contrasts.

Lesson learnt, go max contrast on skin airbrushing.

The boat is pinned in place after being painted separately.
The mast is magnetised at the base of the mast and on the connection between chain and sail to help transport.
The model is on a 120mm diameter base.

He is excellent with some casters and pretty Meh with other, exactly how a model should be, have a place but not be super OP.
The thing that stands him out is the extra 2 inches on his anchor and it being chain weapon, the extended threat range is super needed for trolls.

Just assembled a broodlord to use as a genestealer (the one on the pipe) and assembling some other models. It is just a matter of what I am doing at the time, necromunda is upcoming and terrain (hopefully) and heaps of grymkin (assembled 11 cask imps and 2 mad caps and 6 clockatrice this weekend). However there will be some 54mm scale stuff soon. Check back in a few weeks as I haven't started painting them yet.

Time to move away from Warmahordes and into some Necromunda.

Since its re-release I have been buying everything that GW have released but have only been playing in the last month due to the horrendous release schedule meaning pretty much zero interest by local gamers.
Suddenly though now with a consolidated rule book there is a sudden burst of interest and games being played fortnightly here and a campaign day in Brisbane.


The orlocks were the first gang I assembled and so are the first I painted.
Now campaigns are underway a second box will be needed to expand the force beyond 10 members in a campaign.

The 1 Percenters
Due to the biker feel to the models the gangers' names are based on Harley Davidson bikes or engines.

I went with exactly the same paint scheme in the GW painting video on youtube except the base which is the same for all my necromunda models
Last weekend at the campaign day with 16 gangs, I won artificer award for best painted gang.

As always, click on the pic for full sized, more clear pics.







For extra fun times, and to save money and add to customisation, all models are magnetised.

The rest of my orlock gang, and then a group shot with the extra weapons I have done so far.

Post by: Boss Salvage


Good looking crew, impressively thorough magnet / extra arm work. If there's a downside to these boys it's that they match their basing a touch to much for me, but as you said the basing is set for all the gangs, so maybe Team Black & Blue is going for homefield advantage by matching the decking?

Cool Trolls. One of the Warmahordes armies I haven't played much with.

Orlocks are really great. I haven't messed with mine yet as they look time consuming with all the different fabrics, guns, armor etc. Been painting Delaques and Goliaths myself.

Great stuff in here, keep it up!

Suit is designed to suck the water out of others, and then give it to wearer.

Back to 54mm inquisitor scale.

Used one of the 40k broodlords with the skulls filed off from the base and his left hand to remove scale issues.

Went with a classic genestealer paint scheme.
The gloss effect is intentional, although it is a satin varnish, I wanted a mildly wet/slimy look.

Necromunda terrain.

MDF terrain from Wargames scenery.

I aquired sheets of 3mm MDF from somewhere a few years ago and cut out bases to fit, put fly screen sheeting over it for texture.

All parts are painted seperately with a roller and interior house paint (matched to GW colour) to save masses of money (250ml sample pot = 9ml of GW paint) then airbrushed.
When assembled the damage is applied.

You know, that's a way more horrific sculpt than I remember it being. Also female??

How's Grymkin working out for you? And that sweet clockatrice spam? I was recently messing with lists for Grym, I think around gorehounds because I like the mini + long leash, but I couldn't quite get into all the weird af options. Also couldn't decide if Dreamer of Child was better - probably Child to tune up all those lights, but I don't like her model, or at least the beast part of it (just real boring, if also pretty easily replaced).

I have been deep diving into bump in the night theme since steamroller 2019 came out, I just find dark menagerie cannot cover all the space needed to contest the zones.
Current pairing is heretic and wanderer but I may replace heretic with Old Witch.

I have used 6 clockatrice in a dark menagerie list and whilst fun, it runs out of puff pretty quick. But still miles better than the other heavies.

grymkin are in a great place, every selection is viable (2 madcaps on a flank is bonkers) and only the clockatrice is overpowered. Starting with an assault 6 instead of 8 would be the first step in toning it down whilst keeping its core functions in the list, or removing assault but keeping the spray as ranged weapon at 8 inches)

An absolute pleasure to paint. Lots of character, fit Necromunda perfectly.

Cyber-Mastiff from the Enforcer kit for Inquisitor.

Great model.
As always, close ups by clicking on the images.

The metallics were:
Undercoat GW black primer
Leadbelcher and Ironbreaker layered
GW contrast medium and nuln oil - this caused the pitting effect which was completely unexpected in my previous use of the contrast medium.
Drybrush stormhost silver
Wash Nuln Oil and Armypainter Dark Shade (devlan mud copy)

Very happy with the effect it gave.

Grissel 2 Kriel Company knockdown army. Running really well and having 3 solos that have endurance and provide the +2 for shooting from the theme benefit is great. Haven't gotten them into knocked down enemy to benefit from the trash rule yet.
I would always run Leadfoot and Treadz and 2 tanks.

Picked up a 214 model Circle orboros army for about 15-20% retail a couple months ago and as I am now only 4 weeks behind on listing here what I have painted, here are the first models.

Shifting stones unit 1.





No command attachment yet painted as he is missing his weapon and privateer press has closed down their parts selection due to COVID-19 restrictions...

Side rant about government restrictions (not PP) despite after 10 months only 4.2% on the US population having caught it and of those, 1.9% death rate.
So in a town/population of 1000 people, 42 would have caught it after 10 months and 1 person would have died... after 10 months.
The parts pickers are probably pretty safe. Considering the staff would all congregate in lunch rooms, and other areas of the PP headquarters.

Jeez you are a busy man! Congratulations on a ripper year mate, you have churned out a lot of really impressive stuff.

I am loving the scheme of the Orboros stuff; the overgrown stone and blue glow is a really nice combo.

Some of these minis are new to me - the Wold Wyrds are some of the coolest sculpts I've seen in a long time.

I also love the dark colours on the skaven warband and am actually a fan of how much gold is on the rhino demon guys (forgive the terminology ) - getting a kind of decadent Anubite vibe from them.

Great work mate and thank you for sharing!

Celestial Fulcrum, Circle battle engine.

The filling of the markings with nihilakh oxide took about half the time to paint this.
I imagine the small globes are where the shots are fired from so I had all their markings filled, then as parts move away from them I filled fewer markings to show the energy being pulled to them.

The druids were painted separately and pinned in place.

Like the Eagle, on a 120mm base.

Missed this model a few months ago.

Ant-Man from Marvel Crisis Protocol.
I felt that the small version lacked a sense of scale and that by adding a regular item that people know instantly that will give an idea of how small he actually is.
Used a 1mm drill vice though the quarter and into his foot and pinned with a piece of paperclip wire.

Both are second hand and had already been assembled and painted. I rebased them and should have filled some gaps in the second bird but missed them until too far into the repaint.

The start of a dive into AOS.

I bought the thunderfist box about 4 years ago and have been doing other games until now as AOS is insanely popular here currently.

Searched for ages for a good scheme and decided on blue and pink bubblegum style to make it pop from across the room.

The base material is grit and gravel from the gutter at the end of my street, with larger stones sieved out and most dust removed by washing.

Large pics in the dakka gallery by clicking the pics.

Nope.
For the pink.
Pink horror, screamer pink slapped on undersides, carroburg crimson, rehighlight pink horror and then edges pink horror and white scar.
For blue:
Sotek greeen, slap on caliban green on undersides/shadowed areas, drakenhof nightshade, rehighlight sotek green and edge sotek green and white scar.

The washes take time to dry but otherwise by the time I have finished a layer I can go back to the start and do the next colour.

Fair nuff! Spending time with the closeups I can see plenty of edging and non-contrast action. Guess I was thrown by how light the skin is and splotchy the armor plates are, versus most of your usual style, but both of those are absolutely aesthetic choices, apologies 'Nads

Looks good. On the cloak, I think what might be throwing you is that it is the same colour as the skull thing on the staff - maybe changing that to a bone (or a different tone) might help you like the cloak colour. Just a thought!
