Thank you thank you for the comments everyone. I'm very proud of my weight loss, but I didn't lose anything last week 'cause I ate alot of junk. :\

Leigen_Zero - According to the Skaven uniform and heraldry book that is the color scheme of Clan Rictus. I've had my Skaven for a while, but I never did anything with them 'cause I wasn't sure what color to paint them in. I found it hard to choose between Clan Ferrik (they have Dwarven slaves that make all their armor and weapons so they're all new and shiny) and Clan Rictus that had the cool checker pattern. I also thought of doing a few different clans in my army, but I wasn't sure if that was allowed and no one was really clearing that up for me, so I decided to stick with Clan Rictus purely...but then that makes me wonder about the Plaque Monks...they're part of Clan Pestilens...which is a different clan which makes me assume it is allowed to have more than one clan in an army.

So sorry...welcome to a moment in my mind.

I may have some pictures for ya'll later one 'cause I did a smackload of painting last night after work.

WHo give a damn about rules!!! what do they say? rules were made for breacking????

Hey bunnygurl! That beastman hero is fantastic, the axe blade is especially good, looks beaten up but still sharp. Oh wait is he just a charioteer? Never noticed how cool the model was.

I have always liked the beastmen models, they look like they would be fun to paint.

EDIT nice gemstones btw!

I can only break the rules if I don't wanna use them in a game eventually.

Perkustin - I'm not sure if the beastman chariot is a hero or just a unit. All it says on the box is Beastman Chariot, and I don't have the codex. Suppose I could just look it up on the GW website though...I have a few Beastmen models painted up and I will say that they are definitely a blast. If you're ever looking for something different to paint I suggest picking some up. Beastmen seem to be one of the few armies with models that I can paint quickly as they don't agitate my ADD.
And thank you thank you. Haven't had much practice with gemstones, but I'm thrilled you like them.

From what I comprehend of the fluff, skaven forces are nearly always a mish-mash of different clans anyway as bargains/pacts/cunning plans all come together, but pestilens, being a cult so to speak, tend to intersperse among the clans (like rather foetid mormons) in order to spread the word of the horned one

Leigen_Zero - Thanks for the info!

Good news! I completed something! Surprised? Me too. >_<


Next 4 completed Saurus Warriors from my friend. I only have 1 left to go then I can begin work on the Skinks, then that project is all done. Just have his Bretonians to redo afterwards and boy that's gonna be fun. Me = not a fan of Bretonians. But if I'm to show him up, they must be done.


Next 4 completed Clanrats. 2 more left after these and I finally have my first completed unit. 2 more built and primed units after this one and possibly 1 more unbuilt unit of Clanrats in the box...but can't remember for sure.


Side view 1...


...and side view 2.


The new WIP version of Mr. Queek Headtaker. I wasn't happy at all with the red that I started him with a while ago so I started over again and now I like him much better and he fits with the color scheme of the army now too. Puts me at ease which is always a bonus.


Another view.


And from the front 'cause who doesn't like to see Queek Headtaker charging at you?


And here we have a few models built, primed and ready for some color. In there I've got some Tyranid Spore Mines, my Eldar Tiger (Dire) Avengers, a unit of Eldar Guardians with weapons platform and crew, an Eldar Warwalker and an old Beastman Minotaur. Good times.

Well, thanks for looking and thanks for all the cheers. They seem to have worked their magic. Happy painting!

Thankyou so much for posting in my Nids blog, I thought I'd return the favor, I really like how those models came out, do you usually paint from a white undercoat? I barely tried that yesterday on one termagaunt it was really simple, but I'll stick with black myself

I wanna see those eldar, bunny!

The Skaven look very good and Queek looks excellent. I agree with Moltar, LETS SEE SOME MOAR ELDAR!!

Those skaven are nice. And have to agree with Moltar. Gonna be fun to see what you do with those eldar.

two thumbs up. Nice job with the painting.

Moartiki - You're welcome and I'm glad to see you stopped by. Welcome to my thread of goodies. The color of basecoat varies between black and white depending on what the model is going to look like when done. Ex. my Lizardmens main color is Ice Blue which is a breeze to paint over a white undercoat but I find takes a bit more to cover a black undercoat.

Moltar - In good time my friend, in good time. I'm gonna finish the few that I have sitting on my table first then I'm gonna dig into the Eldar. I've been seriously eyeing them up ever since I built them so it'll be with much excitment when I do start them.

sum1 - Thank you muchly and they're on their way soon.

schank23 - Thank you. They're not gonna be all too different than the Guardian squad I have posted on the previous page, but the Dire Avengers'll have a bit more flare to them.

40k Ninja - Thank you very much. I'm a fan too.

Sexy lizards.

I'm so pleased you found some time to get more painting done. You improve all the time! those Skaven are really crisp!

Glad to be back on the blog and, if you do happen to paint those eldar first, I shall be a very happy man! I do love a well painted eldar army!

OOOOOOhhh I missed loads of new stuff. They are looking very nice, and I can't wait to see the eldar

taffiarti - Thank you.

tipios - Thank you muchly. Check back often. You never know when I'll materialize with more stuff.

Unfortunately ya'll are gonna be quite disappointed. I haven't started on the Eldar yet. I got distracted by my Daemon Prince, my Ellyrian Reavers and my aunt, uncle and cousin who were in town visiting from Montreal (I live in Calgary). I have been eyeing up the Eldar though so don't wander away in a huff. I've also decided to start collecting Vallejo (sp?) paints. I tried one out for the first time tonight and I was very pleased. I must say I enjoy painting with those over GW, but I'll still use GW washes as I'm too lazy to make my own of those unless absolutely necessary. I do have a couple very minor pics for ya'll while I'm here anyways, but please excuse the yellowish tint to the pics. I took them on my stove top 'cause I'm awesome like that.


Primed Daemon Prince. I have some ideas for this one. It's always the getting started that's the hardest part for me. If I don't have everything planned out perfectly in my head I get flustered and abandon it.


The very beginnings of my Ellyrian Reavers from the IoB set. They've been sitting assembled and primed for months and I all of a sudden has this crazy urge to paint them. These are what I used to take my first steps into the Vallejo world of color. I used a darker grey with a black wash hence they look so dark. Don't worry, in case you couldn't tell, they're no where near done horses and all.


They're also headless... o_O


And for kicks and giggles, the before pics of the Lizardmen Skinks my friend gave me to repaint. I really like before and after pics so I figured someone else out there might as well so I figured I'd share.


I like the general color scheme he had going, I just wished he'd stuck around longer to improve and learn a few things. Oh well, I got free models out of the deal.

Well, thanks for looking and hope to be back soon with more pics and more new paints.

I had about an hour of painting time very early this morning when I got home from work before I crawled my way to bed. Figured I'd pop on to show ya'll what I did. I'm really liking the color so far, but with a few more highlights I think he's gonna be killer.

Behold! The Daemon Prince!


That's it, that's all. Happy painting and all that jazz.

the prince is looking good!

Glad you see you've re-materialized, BG! *vwwwwooorp!*

The skinks amuse me. And, hey! Free models!

--Brian

That blue looks simply amazing. When it is finished it is going to be the most vivid and striking model you have done. I simply cannot wait to see it finished and what colour you use to match up against it.

The Daemon Prince is looking nice and blue, is it going to be Tzeentch?

Matt- Thank you.

Briancj - Never complain about free models, am I right?

taffiarti - I really hope so. I have a very detailed and exact picture in my head of how I want him to turn out. I'm really taking my time with this one 'cause I have such an exact end result in my head. Hoping I can match my minds eye.

GiraffeX - I dunno what he's gonna be. I just paint things the color I want them and figure out the details later...which perhaps could be why I have so few playable armies, but playing's not why I got into this hobby so, oh well. ^_^

Thanks for looking everyone!

Hi bunnygurl

Loving the diverse range of different mini's on your blog - just shows how good your range is too.

Really liking the 'clean' blue on the guardians and the deamon prince - looking forward to seeing more, keep it up

I like the prince. I can't wait to see more. Your progress if great BTW.

slice'n'dice - Thanks for stopping by. Glad you like the variety. I have a hard time focusing on one army mainly 'cause I just like to paint what I like the look of, which is how I started and how I like to continue.

Rabid Ferret - Thanks!

Well, I broke my rule of not buying anything new until I finish what I have. I actually broke the rule a week or two ago, but what I bought just got here today in the mail. I really wanted to go to Gamesday in Chicago 'cause they had an exclusive Skaven Warlord model, but it just wasn't doable for me. Sooooo, the day after it ended I hopped on Kijiji and found me one and bought it. I broke my own rule but I think I'm allowed to for something like that, no? I just had to have it. But other than that, I've been good which is really surprising for me considering I used to go buy something almost weekly before.


And here he is, the lil' buggar. He has since been removed from his packaging and assembled. I must say I tore into this one like a kid on Christmas day.


And here's a quick pic of my WIP Daemon Prince. I apologize for the blurry pic. My camera was on the edge of dying so I hurried to get a quick shot, unfortunately this was the end result. The battery promplty died thereafter and I'm waiting for it to recharge, which I'm quite eager for as I got a fair bit more done since taking this pic a few hours ago.

Thanks for looking and happy painting to all!

Hello all and welcome to another episode of me and my minis. Not much to say except on with the pics.


Finally finished the last Saurus Warrior that my friend gave me. The musician. Now I can move on to the Skinks. Once they're done, I'm finished with that project.




I also finished two more Clanrats.




Which therefore means......


.....I've finally, at long last, completed my first unit of Clanrats. Only 3 left to go.


I got just a little touch of color on two of my five Ellyrian Reavers.


I must say I'm enjoying the colors so far.


As well as a bit more color on the Prince.


I like the wing membrane color, but I'm not totally sold on it. Thoughts? Keep in mind I haven't highlighted the skin color on the wings yet so that may make it look a little different when that's done.

I do believe that's all I have for now. Hope ya'll enjoyed it and I'll be back with more before ya know it.

That's some awesome stuff, your blues look so good.

Excellent work as always. You seem to be going through your blue period?! Your clanrats are particularly great, i love skaven, but your "3 units to go" reminds me why i dont play wfb! Glad kids are giving you a chance to chill with your toys!

Baldsmug - Thank you!

inmygravenimage - I seem to be quite blue happy don't I? I didn't even really notice. It's a nice color though. Can't really go too wrong with it. About the Clanrats, thanks. I really like them despite being somewhat tedious to paint. I'm actually in the middle of a divorce right now (not a bad one though, it's mutual), so I seem to have quite a bit of time to myself these days. It also helps that I'm on a night schedule now so everyone's sleeping when I'm awake which gives me a heck of a lot of me time. It's lonely but leaves lots of painting time.

Great painting as always
