Hey, my first go at a real painting blog.... other than the horrific attempts at knight titans and other such things.... I've had some really nice models lying around and I just got some new ones from a shop I discovered with the help of a friend. They include Malifaux Death Marshalls, An Eldar Death Jester and A Nightbringer I found in my bitz box, I'm going to use this as a blog for all my painting and will upload some previously painted stuff on here, it's mainly for painting motivation and for help with my painting, so criticism is definitely welcome!

So without further ado, here are the miniatures without ANY paint on just so you can see the very little conversion done (Mainly the bases and poses) and see the models before I in all likelihood turn them into husks of their former selves.



A Chaotic Sorceress that I picked up in Fanboy 3 (The newly found shop), I can't remember what miniature line she's from and I have no idea what I'm going to use her for yet, I still need to seal the sand and clean the mould lines off though, probably a colourful red and yellow colour scheme, because she doesn't look evil in the slight ^_^




A Nightbringer I found lying around in pieces in my bitz box, now fully pinned and with base, needs sealing and some green stuff for gaps at the arms and torso



Death Jester, an awesome model, it's going to get a black and white checked paint job, such an awesome model....




Two Death Marshalls I got in the pack with the one I really wanted, but they need painting up anyway, I might start Malifaux so they're all going to be the same colour scheme. Some converting on the base of the industrial pipe one, the metal bases are from Black Cat Bases btw.



This is the Death Marshall I really wanted, he's being used as a Gunslinger character for my GURP character, I altered which coffin he's supposed to be on and made the wonky pose, I'm making a back story for him on my friends forum GURP section so might link to it or post it when I've done it.



And finally, from the same company as the sorceress, a small ork with a blunderbuss, I'm using him in my Pirate Scavvie gang, they will probably be on this post at some point when I can get the money to buy them all ^_^

-These are my projects so far and I will be adding more as I go on, I thank you kindly ^_^

Loving the death marshalls.

Some good basing so far, looking forward to more.

Just a small update here, I got the paints for my Death Marshalls so I'm trying out the colour scheme, I've only added a base coat of Calthan Brown for the trench coat and guns, here he is-

I'm also doing a very small modelling project that is near enough completed, making a hammer for my Iron Warrior Demon Prince (Who will probably appear here as will the Warriors) Here's two picture of the hammer head, it's quite big and I'm using a Black Ork standard/icon for a shaft.

Some new shiny models, some updates on the Gunslinger and Death Jester and some pictures of old models, including a birthday present that I just nicked to get some photo's

The Death Jester-




The checks are finished and I am currently putting diamonds on the cloth draped over his back and painting the skeletal detail, pictures will be coming in soon.

Lucifer-



My only metal terminator left... that isn't now an obliterator, I probably wont ever change his paint job in fear of destroying the signature by Graham McNeil on his shoulder plate, he came to a signing at my GW and I got my books and also this model signed by him ^_^

Rusty Alyce-



I had £6 left over after lunch today and decided to buy this model, she's an awesome model and as I'm thinking of starting to play Malifaux, she didn't seem like such a bad model to get. I can also use her in my GURP campaign as a boss fight or a leader of some bandits. I'm probably going to paint her as she's shown on her card, using red for the cloth and making the mechanical arm look rusty, hence the name which she came with.

Wood Elf Waywatcher Diorama for my Mum's Birthday-






This is a Wood Elf Waywatcher Diorama that I made for my mum's last birthday, it's basically a Dryad 'putting down' the Waywatcher on a mossy hill with vines on, I made the Dryad out of wire and then green stuffed the bark and carved a face into the main trunk, I just used a standard Wood Elf Waywatcher model though

Death Marshall-




I've finished the brown and black on the Death Marshall test model and the next step is the flesh and coffin, next update for him is when those two are finished.

Some more updates on the Death Marshall test figure, the Hellborn Sorceress and some pictures of my painted Huron Blackheart - a thumb. Also, I'm going to try and do more smaller updates rather than infrequent huge ones. That way you get a better picture of the WIP rather than huge stages missed out.

Death Marshall-

I have painted the flame coming out of the coffin, also; a slight lie with the next update, I had an urge to paint fire....

Hellborn Sorceress-


I've painting the base colour onto her coat and painted the detail on the tails of the coat, only the tails are going to have diamonds on as doing it on the whole jacket is too difficult and looks messy, trust me I tried.

Huron Blackheart-



I painted him a while back, the second Huron I've painted actually, long story... Some of the spikes are a bit bent and his thumb is missing but I'm still pleased with the Hamahydra conversion and the paintjob came out cleaner than the first Huron I painted, I think he's second in line to the model I've spent the most time on.


A side note on bases-
For most of the bases (Particularly my Guild and Outcast Malifaux models) I am using urban bases from Black Cat bases, for the others I'm converting and making them myself.

@Previous comments-Thanks for the support! And aren't the Malifaux models awesome? That's probably why I even considered playing it, just for the models...

Death marshal looks good. Makes me want to paint mine.

Some more stuff here, I have finally FINISHED a model

@Malfred - Thanks ^_^ I really love painting the Death Marhsall and the other Wyrd miniatures stuff, they are so much better and cooler than GW's but that's probably because I really like Steampunk!

Hamelin-



This is a Wyrd Miniatures model, I made a Victorian cobblestone base for him, my first proper attempt at a full green stuff base, also, the small metal thing in front of him is actually a rat, surprise he like rats... I think or hates them.... he certainly looks like one though and has one whispering in his ear....

Death Jester-





The Death Jester is nearly finished, I just need to add more detail, some washes and finish off his gun

Hellborn Sorceress-



I've used washed heavily in this model to provide shading and I just need to add metallics for gold and silver and then maybe add some fiery runes onto her skin in orange

Death Marshall Malyce-



Well, this guy's finished, I just need to paint his brothers and they shall all be named along the same lines as this one, called Malyce.

Anyone got any ideas for names that are along the same lines as Malyce? All suggestions welcome!

Finished two models today, well the models but the bases still need painting...

Hellborn Sorceress-


I have finally finished her, I gave the cloak a thin brown wash to give a bit of depth and I painted patterns in white on her skin and face and then washed the skin red again to make them look like a pink glow.

Death Jester-


I've only used three colours on him and I think it's worked quite well, I've painted all of the gemstones in dark red and have made nearly every bit of his clothing in a different pattern, I did the patterns and then gave a highlight to the black and gave the whole model a black wash to give it some depth.

On a side note, I am going to start taking commissions in for painting single models or small squads of about 5 or so. If you are interested please send me a PM so we can sort out a method that is best for you. The first five or so commissions will be at a lower price than normal as I will be using these predominately to build a portfolio of work and to gain some reputation and I will paint models from all model ranges and am based in England.

Thanks Much

A very small update, I've just finished my second Death Marshall and have named him with the current theme... I have also taken some pics of my Lucious the Eternal which I might strip and re-paint...

Lucious-



I painted this guy a long time ago and am thinking about stripping and repainting him... possibly also giving him a better base as well.... Just so he looks a bit nicer than light colours with washed ^_^

Death Marshall-


I've decided to call this one Hayte to fit in with the Anger theme... for some reason I like using Y's in my names..... It just makes them sound gothic... I think the last one will be called Despyse...

Just a VERY little update, got my first commission from a friend to re paint his Calgar model, I've stripped the paint, taken him apart and sprayed him, also painted the legs, this is how they are so far --


I'm still looking for comissions, if your interested, send me a PM, also please comment if you read this thread, I feel so lonely =3

Whats GURP?

Otherwise Great models, I want to see this when its finished!!

Another update, Calgar is finished and I have started work on Rusty Alyce, I've been a bit bogged down with work and starting an art project which will probably be up here actually....

@Brotheralexos-GURPS is a role playing system which makes it possible for you to use any scenario or time due to technology levels and very flexible character creation. Also, thank you for your kind words ^_^

Calgar-


My first commission is finished, he took me about a week to finish and he has been returned to his owner =3

Rusty Alyce-


For Rusty Alyce I've finished the red on her coat and a tartan pattern on her skirt, I've also started on her long socks with a green striped pattern and have added the white streak in her hair.

As usual, please comment and I am still looking for more commissions, please PM me if interested.

Why do you have marneus calgar

@HalloweenBomber-I have Marneus Calgar because I was painting him as a commission for someone, he isn't my model ^_^

I'm very sorry about the hiatus, I've been rather busy but should get some work done and hopefully some new models soon! I've finished Rusty Alyce, started my last Death Marshall and also started on an empire priest, enjoy!

Rusty Alyce-



I've finished her, made her much darker to fit in with the rusty image, I've also given her a varnish which I think might have mucked up the photo's a bit.

Death Marshall-


I've started my last Death Marshall, I've also noticed he's got some very obvious mould lines which I must have missed, I'll get rid of those very quickly ^_^

Empire Priest-




I was originally going to use this model for entering the golden demon with but never got round to it, instead he is going to be used for me to learn and practice non-metallic metallics

Comments on the priest are needed much so I can see how I'm getting along with this new technique and how to improve on my work as it is ^_^

The order for my friends birthday present (A Ghazgull for him to convert) Arrived today from Wayland and I was pleasantly surprised to find some free stuff! It's not much but it's two nice little free models from Mantic Games, two Elf scouts, I've had a look on the site and might buy an army... quite cheap.

Elf Scout Sprues (Free!)






I'll probably use these two models to work on my gold non-metallic painting, they have some nice armour I would like to work with and I think their cloth will probably be either black or white.... Mind you, I think that silver armour might work better with black cloth, what do you guys think?

Malifaux is really popular at my FLGS but really great paint job on them.

I just want to say that nighter bringer was mine from ages back when i did necrons and the death jester was also mine from when i did eldar. Other armys i have colleted are necrons, eldar, orks, space marines, chaos, blood angels, tau and im starting tomb kings!

Good work on the ddeath jester's robes!

the death marshalls are looking good. I wonder if it's a coincidence that they remind me of the Saint of Killers? Ah well, still awesome.
