Wow I just found this blog and I love it. Subscribed!

My favorite is your new chapter master, It's absolutely stunning.
You may find this stupid, but I've been medieval re-enacting for about 5 years now and I've been to some _bigger battles_ (in wolin for example). When You look at some pictures about these festivals You'll notice that only captains move like your chapter master when They want to tell sg to someone or the like.

Well as I said this may sound quite stupid to You but I think if a model brings back these kind of memories It just can't be bad...

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed what I have done so far

If I'm honest the chapter master is my favorite, I do however need to redo the cloak at some point, the highlighting is abit rough in places.

That's a interesting you make about how he looks like he is moving, I personally hadn't even given it much thought, I am however at a disadvantage to you in know such things as I have never been involved ant such event.

I'm glad however that he brought back some great memories, that really is a nice bonus

BTW, here is a finsihed zombie, now I just have to get my arse in gear and paint the rest of them!

Updated on the zombies

they seem a little dull, i like the skin, but don't think the cloth works with the skin.

awesome awesome awesome sauces .
Anyway love your painting style

@ Sageheart, Well the cloths weren't finished how exactly would you suggested to liven them up?

@ Asherian command - cheers, glad you like my odd way of painting.

updated zombies, certainly not my best painting but they will do



Wip of terminator sergeant




Updated on Grave guard, still have to finish the back ranks

Well here are some updates, I decided the BSB banner looked rubbish so I started to redo it, not finished yet so we will have to see how it turns out.

It's all coming along very nicely!

i would say the cloth is too flat on the zoombies. i would try to make it look like the beautiful cloth of the BA termie!!

Cheers guys, Well I wasnt as bothered by the zombies as they were just for Mantic who have been **** me about for a while now.

I have to say I do find it hard to bring myself to actually paint those grave guard/revanent models because they simply are not as nice many of the other models sitting on my desk.

I have updated the look my Tzeentch warriors, I decided they looked to bright and really I could have painted them better, please excuse the picture quality as since I moved I cannot find my proper camera so this is with my phone which is just weird.




Basically I have started with chaos black and kept gradually adding morian blue until it was basically mordian blue, I then added a small amount of skull white and did a final highlight which was followed by blue wash.

I still have a lot to do on them, metal in places, make the boots look better, fur some of the blue got on it + I added some greenstuff to fill some gaps, I also need to touch up the bone.

I also think I am going to redo the horn.

Well here are some more WoC updates

First is my BSB, I have done some more work on the banner and would really like some suggestions on what else I could include on the banner.



Next are some better pictures of the Tzeentch warriors




here is a comparison of picture, the lighter one is how the unit was painted, personally I think it looks a lot better with the darker color



Finally I decided to start updaing how I painted my khorne warriors, I did paint them several years ago, I have repainted the weapons, gloves, belts, better blood effects (this is starting to sound likea fallout mod) and fur (well on the champion, still need to do the fur on the standard).



I have a few commissions on the way, one being Angels Encarmine and the other being a Biel Tan Eldar and hopelly Prescient Omega studios will send me some woodies to paint soon for another one

Nice WoC!! The "latest" daemon face on banner seems far better than the blue one... Did you touch it up recently?

cheers mate, well all i did on the BSB banner was add some worm hair and touched up the nose, I actually haven't done anything with the face itself. I'm still not happy with it but I'm not as unhappy with it, I like the face on the Khorne banner more but I was in different mood when I painted it.

Tactical Marines

Wow, that's the first open headed marine model I've liked.. ever! Where/what is the first sarg? (power fist guy) He's awesome!

these models are so cooollll

@ Monkeh - hes a limited edition gamesday model, I was lucky and found him on ebay for £9, normally they go for about £30 I think. The only thing that I don't like about him is the storm bolter, I dont really want to cut it off (well I do but I don't if that makes sense!)

@sageheart- cheers mate, at some point I am goingto have to try and finish that metal tactical marine squad off as well.

Well here is what I plan to do with all my chaos knights in the future, when I get some cash I will be hitting ebay and getting as many of the new chaos steeds as I possible can as well as a few more of the old chaos knights. My plan is to have 4 units of Khorne knights + 1 unit of Tzeentch nights. 3 units of the Khorne knights will be 8 man + character on a jugger, one will be a 9 man with a character on a steed (archoan conversion). The unit of Tzeentch knights will be 9 + Tzeentch hero on steed. In total I will 19 Chaos knights + 20 chaos steeds (1 for a chariot).

should be interesting for when I want to get some big scale battles in (and once I find some regular gaming opponent).

Well here is another update, I have just about finished my Khorne warriors (well I need to get another 3 or make a unit filler).



Here is a picture of some of my older chaos warriors to give a idea how they used to look and to also give a idea how I intend to change the look of my army.




hopefully tomorrow I will get the Tzeentch warriors finished but I guess that depends on how much time I am forced to spend in town :(

Oh ok lol, well here you go then, some more hero models!

First is the jugger hero I converted when the new juggers first came out, such a cool model, I was a bit annoyed however when they made the new Khorne Lord :( This guy does did to be redone abit as he was painted some time ago.



Next is the warhammer quest chaos warrior, the painting is ok, I think some minor tweaks will greatly improve the models look.



As I don't really use either of these very much they aren't that high on list of things to do.

Finally is the Wulfrik conversion, I hate special characters, I never use them and I only got the model because I bought a spearhead.

Update on the Champion, all that really needs doing is the black, the skin, bit more on the leather and I'm trying to decide if I am happy with the skulls

looking good! keeping tabs on this blog, but i dont play WFB I'm waiting for updates on the blood Ravens!

Cheers mate, well I wont be doing a lot of Blood Ravens for a while, I will finish the terminators and command squad off in the near future. I have just taken on a Eldar and Angels Encarmine commission from a couple on here so when they arrive I will post some pictures of those up.

In all honesty I haven't all that much more I need to get painted for my blood Ravens, finish a pod, paint another two, finish some scouts.

makes sense. Angels encarmine sounds awesome! what exactly will you be making for that?

Just 30 tactical marines, the Eldar one is going to be a lot more interesting, a bit of everything to paint really

that sounds interesting enough. doing anything special to the tac. squads!

Well this is all I have been asked to do:

1st squad: White Skull on a black background
# 2nd squad: White Skull on a blue background
# 3rd squad: Red blood drop on a yellow background
# 4th squad: Red blood drop on a black background
# 5th squad: White X on a black background
# 6th squad: White X on a blue background

Models have already been glued and sprayed so not really a whole lot I can do with them :( I'm more interested in painting something I have painted a million times before, I have played 40k since 2nd ed, I have painted a fair few marines in my time

Well here is a WIP of my first Chaos troll

Well here is the start of my Eldar commission, hopefully tomorrow i will have white on the rest of the unit finished assuming don get any more phone calls tonight!




After this this I will have a Banshee exacrh, 2 warlocks and a Autarch to paint (until the next batch arrives anyways). The white is painted with:

1) base coat astronomican grey
2) watered down shadow grey
3) dry brush Astronomican grey
4) water down layers of skull white

Stage for does take abit of time per model but I think it looks pretty effective.

Well its pretty much finished now, trying to figure out if its needs something else doing to it and also I am thinking of redoing the gems to be a brighter color, maybe Mordian blue/Enchanted blue/50/50 enchanted blue+ skull white.

Well here is a update on the Eldar Commission I am doing,

Guardians



Now that I have done the White on the unit the the longest part is out of the way, I am hoping to get the unit finished tomorrow.

Warlocks




I decided to take a break from painting the guardians, with the best will in the world painting the same model over and over again can get a bit much, I just need to find some decent pictures of Eldar runes to paint on the robes just to make them look a bit more interesting, hopefully I can find my old 2nd ed Eldar Codex if not I'm sure I can find something on Google!

Banshee Exarch




Pretty much finished now, just really the eyes, hair and space marine helmet to finish.

From this batch I just have a Farseer and Autarch to paint, hopefully the next lot will arrived at the end of the week which should give me time to paint some wardancers and actually paint some of my own models!

Interesting...I can't wait to see the guardians finished!
