PDH - Thanks so much. Everyones input and suggestions have helped me to try new things and not be so rushed on everything like I used to be. If it takes me a year to finish a single model, so be it. As far as the straps on the trophy rack go, it's just a base of Bubonic Brown with a Devlan Mud wash. Glad you like it.
Leigen_Zero - Thank you muchly. Waiting for an opportunity to get some white primer and then I shall start on my second ship, the Flaming Scimitar. OooOOOoooOO! It's one of my least favorite ships, but my OCD is making me paint them in alphabetical building order (ya know, when they lable all parts for one model with a letter - so Grimirs Thunder's parts were labeled A, Flaming Scimitar B, etc).
Not sure what to paint next. Work on my HE Ellyrian Reavers...finish some more Clanrats from my horde that's creeping along slower than molasses going uphill in the winter...or maybe close my eyes, grab an unopened blister pack and work on that one. Oh the indecisions.

Thanks man. I should probably get cracking on my Skaven again...there's so many of them. They're infesting my painting table.
Got a small update for ya'll. Begun on my next ship in the Dreadfleet collection. I stopped by GW today and picked up a can of white primer and while I was there I figured I'd grab a new model too since my self imposed ban on buying models is no longer in effect. Knowing I'll be putting that ban back on once the new year hits I figured I'd buy as much and collect as much over the holidays while I can before I do that to myself. Therefore I decided to go for something different, at least different for me. I decided to step into the world of Nurgle. Not usually a fan of Nurgle, I really liked how this model looked...only issue...I have no idea what colors to use to paint it as this is totally foreign to me. I do have gloss varnish though to make it look all gooey...so...bonus. On with pics.
The beginnings of the next ship, the Flaming Scimitar.
The sad beginnings of the sails, but ya'll gotta start somewhere right?
What's this!? Nurgle!? Indeed it is.
Thanks for looking and happy painting.

For the skin I would suggest go with what you used on your skaven, but mix in some pallid greens (perhaps GW rotting flesh, something like that) to give it that decayed look, and use green/purple washes rather than the usual brown/black.

I like that. Thanks for the advice. It totally just gave me the perfect image of what I want it to look like in my head. I believe I know exactly what to do now. Who knows, maybe this first Nurgle with start a love for Nurgles, which have been gradually growing on me over time anyways. Yeah...like I need to start another army. >_< Thanks again for the advice Leigen. I have the next two nights off work, so looking forward to some painting time. I think I should be able to bust Mr. Nurgle out pretty quickly...I hope.

Surprise I've finished some more stuff and begun work on others as well. I seem to be hitting a bit of a painting groove over the past few days. Don't get me wrong, I'm still slow, but I'm doing more now than I have over the past couple weeks.
First I'll start with my Flaming Scimitar. Since the sails are so close together I took a pic of this sail before attaching the other one so you can see this one.
And here we are completed. The fire elemental looks too bright - it really doesn't look that bright and yellowy in person - so I'm thinking about adding a red wash or something of the like. Thoughts?
The other side. Ooops. I see some clean-up that needs to be done. Oh well, nothing major.
A pic of the front sail. I'm really quite proud of the fire I did here.
The little cog that goes with the Flaming Scimitar. Suppose I could do a little symbol on the sail, but it's a tiny little ship and I dunno if I'm ready for that yet...and my hands are cold and shaky right now.
The two together like bestest friends.
The next ship on the painting list - the High Elf Seadrake. This is a double yay 'cause I really like High Elves and I love dragons. Can I hear a woot woot!?
And then we have the very minor beginnings of my second squad of Eldar Guardians with weapon platform.
Thanks for looking and happy painting!

Looking good BG, the sails on the scimitar are looking pretty sharp, my only suggestion would be to hit the wind elemental with another wash, just to deepen the shading a bit (but maybe it's just a little washed out by the camera flash).

The shading on the wind elemental was darker, but I thought it might've been too dark, so I watered down some white, but I guess it wasn't watered down enough.

How's Nurgle coming along? The ships are looking splendid. I agree with you about the fire elemental - I'd try the red wash. And possibly increasing the contrast with the wind one. What color scheme are you going to use with your Guardians? And I'm curious as to why you're doing the EML instead of one of the other weapons (or would you magnetize them).

sum1 - Thanks. I'll try my best. HE intimidate me so this one may take a touch longer.
killykave - Thank you muchly!
Makhoy - Mr. Nurgle is primed, but no color otherwise has reached his disease riddled body. I'd like to create some deeper shadows and whatnot on the wind elemental, but I don't wanna have to highlight it again. It took a while and was a touch tedious for me at least. My Guardians are the same as the other ones I did earlier in this thread. Blue bodies, white heads and grey guns. Simple but looks good IMO. I went with the EML 'cause it's purdy. I don't have a codex and know nothing about Eldar and their weapons and things. I liked how it looked so I decided to use it. I don't know what the other platform has, but if you can find it in here somewhere and tell me that'd be cool.

So I went to a hobby store last night in search of something from the Infinity game, and didn't find anything I wanted. I'm looking to start the Combi Army, but they had nothing from that army. Either they didn't order any or it's popular. Either way, just deciding to head out the door when, what do I find from Malifaux...but an evil teddy bear!! It was a must have. I built and primed him as soon as I got home, but my little guy prevented me from going any further with his hungry belly. Alas, behold!
EVIL TEDDY! This is gonna be awesome.
And on a less exciting note, I finished my weapon platform and crew from my second Eldar Guardian unit. Don't mind the hair...my dogs are everywhere.
Thanks for looking and happy painting! Sleep well.

I think you should paint it up in a similar fashion to the care bear in this picture but with a realistic heart on its stomach. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff143/jon3jen1/CareBear.jpg
Make it like it tore someone open and then painted a heart on its tummy with blood

Now we all must remember I'm not the best at free hand so it's gotta be relatively simple.
Infinite - Those are awesome. They made me laugh, and who wouldnt' want to mess up a common beloved childhood character? There's a little bit of demented in all of us. Unfortunatley mine can't be nearly as awesome as those as I already glued a skeleton on the base. Suppose my bear could've eaten someone...my bear hearts human flesh?
sum1 - Thanks for the pic and idea. I really like it, just not sure how well I can paint a realistic heart.
Oh the ideas. Loving it!

I was actually going to suggest the rainbow one, like on the right in infinite_array's post.
Although I imagine a more faded palette, like an old teddy bear that's been ditched on the side of the road and has had most of the dye washed out of it, with dirt, grime, mould and those yellowish stains that are a sign of being constantly damp.
I imagine it coming to life twisted and bitter, waddling towards the town, a glint of vengeance in it's remaining button eye as it searches for its former owner to make them atone for abandoning him and severing the unconditional love felt between a toy and its child. The once brilliant luminescense of its rainbow tummy-patch now but a faint glow in the darkness...

killykave - Vanity bear = awesome. Those bears are hilarious and thanks for the idea, but I think this evil teddy screams more of what Leigen is saying.
Leigen - I think I've decided. Not really sure how to do a faded and washed out palette -suppose a few washes and muted colors - but I'm liking where it's going.
Now if only there was some way to stick my boy to the wall so he doesn't bother me while I try to paint...hmmm...

Lone Cat - The Eldar were done with a simple basecoat of GW Mordian Blue foundation then a wash of GW Asurmen Blue. Simple simple. I'm switching my paints over gradually to Vallejo but when I switch my blues I'll find a blue closest to Mordian Blue so that I can continue the scheme relatively unaltered.
bbb - Like the fur color and how it looks like he's wiping blood off of his paws.
Still haven't gotten any time to paint lately. Fixing cars, renovating basement, getting a new job and little guy are some pretty sweet time sucks. Hope to have something for ya'll soon. Thanks for looking and happy painting!
