Got some news from my desk.
Didn't have a lot of time to spare during the week but at least finished and old terrain building project and was able to work on a little bit of backlog.

First I finished the building and painting of the last two Holo Ads I bought a long time ago.
If you are intereseted you can find some detailed steps here: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/09/21/gelande-holo-ads-micro-art-studio-teil-2/



The last weeks I also worked a bit on my Winged Harbinger.
So far the base was only sketched wet-in-wet but it already looks quite nice I think.
More on it can be founc here: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/09/21/winged-harbinger-of-mennoth-teil-2-part2/



OK, what now. Options are painting or taking a nap.

Basing of Godslayer reinforcements finished.
Pictures of the separete units can be found here: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/09/23/godslayer-nordgaard-wie-geht-es-weiter-whats-up-next/

They look fantastic.

Thanks, GiraffeX.

I'm back from the dead... somehow.
Did no actual painting this week but I had my first real Godslayer game after the demo last year on the Spiel in Essen.

Here a little battle report in case you are interested: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/09/30/spielbericht-battle-report-2-noobs-vs-godslayer/

New WIPs from my work bench.

I unpacked some minis from Reaper and did a little basing on one of them.
Also prepared the cork for the mountain base of the forest giant from Zenit. He will be a proxy for my seconf Fjellgangr for Godslayer.
Last but not least I continued the work on the base for my Winged Harbinger of Mennoth diorama. Still some smaller things to correct and a lot of gras etc to add.



Closer look on the diorama base.

Weekend work results.

Base build for my second Fjellgangr for Godslayer. A Forest Giant from Zenit Miniatures used as proxy.
More pictures and info here: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/10/13/godslayer-fjellgangr-proxy/



Next up I finished building the minis from Operation Icestorm for Infinity. Two PanO models still need a good resin base.
More pictures of the self-made Nomad bases can be found her in my blog: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/10/13/infinity-operation-icestorm/



And I've also finished building a few new Ariadna and Nomads.

Winter holydays won't get boring.

Yesterday and today I was able to finish some old small terrain projects.
Result: Lots of new scatter terrain and so.

Inc sae you want to see some more pictures best have a look at my blog: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/gelandebau-verschiedene-kleinprojekte/



and I started a new experiment: buidling wire trees.



Furhtermore I just finished writing a small "tutorial" on brushes: http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/pinsel-ein-kleiner-vergleich-brushes-a-small-comparison/
I'm eager to know what you think about it.

OK, it was a little quiet from my side and although I had some free days I did not paint much in October.
On the other hand I was able to visit the international game days in Essen (Spiel'14). Big convention and lots and lots of things to see. Definitely worth it.

Last weekend I started to paint a few more Godslayer minis. Six of them have to be finished for a painting project on a German hobby board I visit regularly.
Please let me know what you think about them.

Not commented in a while either.

Good work on the concrete bits. They look good.
Tree looks pretty natural too.

Good progress on the beardy axe men.

Thanks as always, Dr H.

Small update.
Paitned greens and a bit of hair today.
Here's the Einherjar unit leader as an example of the current status.

Looking good pfibp, I like the way you've done the beard/hair looks like an old mans hair

Great. The old man look was exactly what I tried to achieve.

Painting on the first dwarf is done.
Just snow and base label are missing.

Elder dwarf is looking great. Colour choice works good, and came along nicely.

Hehe I like the red-nose on the dwarf. Cute ^^

Love your infinity stuff too!

Good work on the dwarf.

That's the way of doing greying hair! Going the have to remember that. Dunno why I've not thought of it before... well, not had much call to paint grey hair, but if I did I may not have thought about it...

Thanks for all the feedback.
The dwarves are finally finished know.

Another Godaslayer battle report.
Freshly translated to English.
Just in case someone's intereseted.

http://pfiek.wordpress.com/2014/11/16/spielbericht-battle-report-godslayer-open-battle-mortans-vs-nordgaard/

At present I'm working on a four men team of FSA Treadbikes for Dystopian Legions.
First one can be called "painted" now.

Still have to work on basing and a bit of weathering. And maybe one or two decals from Bolt Action and/or Flames of War.

That looks very nice pfibp, must have been hard doing the yellow strip on the trousers. The green on the bike seems a little flat though.

The yellow stripe was quite easy actually since it's modeled on the figure already. It's a little higher (embossed?) than the rest of the leg.

The lighting I did setup yesterday was not the best as the pictures showed afterwards. That's why the green might look a bit flat.
I'll try to do some different shots in few days or so. Or when the rest of the unit is finished.

The bike is weathered and dirty now. Lighting should be better, too.

Wow all of it looks really great. Keep up the good work.

Yeah thats looking really nice now

It's been a while since the last update.
Frist half of December I was busy and second half I was ill. :(
But here are some updates now.

The Treadbikes unit is finished.
More pictures here: https://pfiek.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/dystopian-legions-fsa-treadbikes/



I also worked on a little SAGA side project by painting an Anglo Danes warlord: https://pfiek.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/saga-warlord-der-anglodanen/



And I did a little color scheme test for my small future PanO force.
Turned out quite well in my eyes: https://pfiek.wordpress.com/2015/01/16/infinity-panoceania-spec-ops/

Good to see you back, those treadbikes are looking really nice.

Good work on the bikes. Look very nice.

Saga dude looks good. Impressive base for him.

Colour scheme works for me.

Thanks boys.

Here are some new WIPs from my painting desk.

1) More Nordgaard dwarves
My plan is to get those bearded guys finished by the end of this week.
SO far still in the realm of "possible" ^^



2) Old Armalion figures
Did the basing of those old figures from Armalion in my collection. This way I can paint them from time to time if I'm in the right mood for a quich and quite easy model.



3) Dystopian Legions
Since I had some remaining basing mix I took the opportunity to prepare some of my FSA models.
By name two Buffalo Hunters and two Scouts from the Wilderness Section and the famous Clock-O-Dile "Louie".



4) SAGA Asia
I have to admit I'm somewhat of a big Asia fan and maybe one day I might even be able to visit Japan or so.
Till then I have to small projects like this one: SAGA in an asian setting.
Have been thinking about it since I found a German fan project with battle boards for asian faction and now everytime I encounter some nice fitting minis I try to pick them up and add them to my collection.
Here we have six samurai from Perry Miniatures, two from Zenit Miniatures which produce some very nice asian figures for their rank & file game "Kensei" (female in the middle and old guy in the back on the left side) and one from Reaper Minis (right side in the back).
Maybe you will see more of them in the near future.

Next Godslayer dwarves are finished.



Which now gives me two max number fully painted units of Fjell Warriors.
Here assembled together with their Warlord (centre).



Painting (and sculpt) of the FJell Warriors is quite simple and since there are only two trooper scuplts I treid to add as much additional variety as possible. For example by doing some "fancy" shield details.



More pictures of those bearded men can be found in my blog (article only in German at present): https://pfiek.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/godslayer-nordgaard-fjell-warriors/

Next up: "Snow White" and "Rose Red"
Be carefull. They might snap. ;P
