figure i would start one of these since im back on the brush on a regular basis again. i paint to play, so not the best looking stuff, but i also paint to paint so some stuff will look better then others.

War Troll, Confrontation.

Extreme Beast 09, Warmachine

Peak Bearer, Confrontation, WIP

more to come...

**Perkustin**

Nice painting. Is that all Warmachine stuff? Are they harder to paint than GW figures?

**delrohir**

@ perkustin.
Yeh, they are a little harder in my opinioin, because the average size and shape(ish) of the models are completely different from the GW range. So if you learnt to paint around GW, then it'll be a bit hard, but I did and can paint warmachine to a decent stabdard.

(refeering to the pictures above) Very Impressive.

**Scrazza**

Good job on those. The war troll is great. Mind sharing your recipe for that green skin?

**studderingdave**

warmachine stuff is more fun to paint then GW stuff right now for me. i like the streampunk feel. the 1st and 3rd models are from confrontation, a deceased game from France that still has some of the best models in the miniatures created and they are pretty dated.

the green? the troll was harsh highlights, base was mutation green and finished with goblin green, with 2-3 mixes in between. the thing i like about confrontation models is it lets me just enjoy painting the model more since games are few and far in between. i usually paint for the table so im in a rush, there is no rush with the confrontation stuff.

updates:

backside of the peak bearer (yes he has 2 heads) and a Cygnar Sentinel light warjack to round out a small cygnar fit i am in.

**Scrazza**

Thanks for sharing, Dave. I guess you mean Game Color paints? I can get these in Belgium, so I think I got that covered. I'll get those paints someday and I'll paint up an ork that way. should give some nice results seeing what you did.

**studderingdave**

vallejo game color yeah.

more updates.....

Cygnar Sentinel is done. the force is speed painted since im more interested in gaming with the force then making it look pretty. i spend more time on the confrontation stuff

side shot of the whole force, around 50 points worth with 3 warcasters. the force is almost done, waiting on a solo or 2 in the mail to finish it off.

Goblin Cyclops Gong Banger, Confrontation.

my dog, Alfred Zeus. He sleeps 18-20 hours a day, perfect for our cramped living space.

next im working on more of the Peak Bearer, looking at kicking out a 300 pt. force for my intro to the game (which ive never played before, i just dig the models) and painting some Cryx (warmachine) in the future and possibly repainting Lizardmen if i can get myself back into 8th (which i enjoy so far)

thanks for the comments.

small update, got some work done on the Peak Bearer.

finished:

**studderingdave**

up next ill be working on a strohm warrior, again for confrontation. gearing up for some games with these guys so ill be hitting up my collection to get stuff done soon

Strohm Warrior, WIP. Confrontation

and update:

Strohm Warrior, WIP. Confrontation

**Perkustin**

I love the paintjob on the goblin shaman/ 'peak bearer' guy, very painterly and artistic. It is like a better version of how i paint my models.

**Boss Salvage**

Nice cygnar force all together, but especially groovy work on the R stuff. Pretty surprised to hear you're going to actually play some Confrontation, is that with Lex? Or are there other sweet painters with stockpiles of cool stuff who want to put it on a tabletop?

- Salvage

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Nice work Dave
May I suggest that you pop some paper behind the minis when you photograph them please?
That way we get to appreciate them even more

keep up the good work

**studderingdave**

guy named mike at the LGS played a while back and wanted to get back into it. i dont need a huge excuse to by these models they are some of the best sculpts ever and they are 10+ years old. really enjoying pouring tons of time into them as opposed to my standard speed painting.

small update on the strohm warrior, now with white paper.

and finished:

**studderingdave**

small updates, not alot of time today. spring semester also looms so time will be rare.

so i finished the last piece for my speedpainted cygnar force, victor pendrake.

Victor Pendrake, Hores.

Goblin Sharpshooter, Confrontation. 2Scrap Thralls, Warmachine.

**studderingdave**

quick updates:

Pair of Warwitch Sirens, Cryx Warmachine

Goreshade the Cursed, Cryx Warmachine

looking at finishing up Cryx for a tourney at the end of the month. then its back to the Rackham, and lizardmen as well. prolly do some army shots next weekend, drag out some 40k stuff as well.

**studderingdave**

Nightmare, Cryx Heavy Warjack, with converted claws. WIP for tourney saturday.

**bunnygurl**

The Nightmare is SICK. I love that one! Paint it! Whoo!

**studderingdave**

cobalt the caustic on the left, confrontation
grandma perdita on the right, malifaux

Automatically Appended Next Post:
finished these guys off last night, Trollblood Runeshapers for a display piece:

thanks to the snow i think ill be diving into Cobalt today.

**Scrazza**

I like the trollbloods, very nice job on them.

**studderingdave**

THREADOMANCY!

figured i would continue this blog. i am painting skorne, starting with Epic Makeda:

have a bronzeback, gladiator and shaman on my table, as well as morghoul variant and some nihilators in a box. have a krea and beasthandlers being stripped. should be a solid winter project.

thanks for looking

EDIT: figured i would put up some other stuff i did since posting last:

Lizardmen Razordon

Dark Eldar Archon

Black Orc Warboss

Ork Warboss

Cryx Nightmare Heavy Warjack

**Boss Salvage**

But ... I'm doing Skorne

Nice scheme on eMak, white is a fun detour. Starting out with Mordikaar and pHexy, trying to be less cookie cutter but we'll see (bronzeback + 2 savages + full nihiliators + 4/6 beast handlers = 25 points), I suppose technically I've not played a game yet

Uber nightmare action there, and groovy orcs and such as usual.

- Salvage

**studderingdave**

never fear! we havent set up across from each other in so long. youll get your game in eventually. ive already booked 6 games with skorne.

**Boss Salvage**

Good point dude, but now you know we'll end up on the top tables of some massive warmahordes tournament, both playing as skorne

- Salvage

**studderingdave**

quick update, started bronzeback:

and the rest of the current lot:

max nihilators
max beast handlers
krea
shaman
gladiator
morghoul

got molik and extoller on order.

**Metsuri**

Nice painting on the BB, the white armor gives nice contrast to they grey skin.

**MakeH**

The bronzeback looks really promising! Good start

**studderingdave**

Pere Ravage, for Malifaux. My Zoraida lists have been using him a lot lately.

and got the first layer of bone onto the armor for the bronzeback. SO MUCH DETAIL, im diggin it.

**studderingdave**

quick update, posting a side project i banged out in one day. Malifaux crew number 6, McMourning and his undead things:

up next is more skorne, and Maelok, the undead Gator warlock.

**Tortured-Robot**

Nice, some very interesting models you have there. Really like your painting style, some of your pictures are hard to make out however!

**bunnygurl**

Love that Bronzeback. Very sweet.

**studderingdave**

more work on the bronzeback. had to take the tusks/toes to a darker tone since im using bone as the armor color. working out so far.
