Nice work Nerdy, papa Nurgle would be proud!

Impressive but not unexpected. Good Show.

And 250 pages, to boot! Awesome work Damo

Congrats on 250 pages .. 250 more to go ...

not only is your work amazing, you've turned a tabletop game into a work of art! these pieces are incredibly well painted, and nearly look like they are about jump off the stand and say "I'm real!" It's awe inspiring. and makes me want to paint until I'm as good as you! I have a long time to go.

Ooof, 250 pages. I really need to build a new table of contents for you.

Monstrously brilliant work, and grats on the 250.

Excellent take on Nurgle mate, they look the dog's !

Joining the Nurgle chorus, these are amazing models, and your signature rust works especially well here. Congrats.

Very very cool, Damo. Your grungy metals really suit Nurgle. Awesome work!!!

Maulerfiend is epic!

Just in time for new death guard junk coming out!

So what special project are you going to do now that you've reached 250 pages??

Thanks Cheese! I saw that conversion online and thought I want to paint that so I was lucky the mate I sold my Nurgle too wanted the same

Azazelx wrote:Wow. Amazing work there Damo - and so damn quick as well. The Nurgle stuff looks utterly fantastic. You must be some kind of remorseless painting machine.

Yes Az, I am, I work full time shift work all over the place where I work and in my down time I pretty much just paint to unwind, i've got a pretty good routine going with each of my schemes and colours so I organise myself like that

Paradigm wrote:They look absolutely horrible! Which is of course the point, and what I actually mean is bloody hell, fantastic job there!

Did you also convert the minis, or did they come to you assembled?

Cheers Para, you inspired me with some of your grittier works since I tend to lean towards clean I wanted inspiration and found it in your blog the models were assembled when they got to me, I work sooooo much faster that way

Thank you so much for the kind words and comments! I really try to get a certain 'feel' to what I paint, and I always make sure the way I paint them is easily replicated or learnt by others, so if there's any certain thing I can help you out with just ask me! it's all just learning a certain way to layer the colours

Thanks legend! and they are cool but most certainly not modeled on my Dogs testicles.....

Thank you, the rust just gives that little spot of colour and lifts the green doesn't it!

Maybe? but would you even know? perhaps I've already painted Alpha Legion but you thought I was painting Skitarii? or maybe it's the space wolf characters i'm working on? or I might even paint some in Alpha legion colours just to confuse you even more!

"I am Alpharius!"

Jesus wept Nerdy - phenomenal work. That Nurgle fiend is cracking, they're all awesome. I dont even like Nurgle or the Death Guard but I LOVE these. Top bloody banana man

Whoah! top bananas!! that is HIGH praise indeed lol! Thanks Jan, they do look frickin sweet all together.

So FW don't make any Minotaurs transfers anymore :-( I can't pop off pads on a tac squad to replace them. what options do I have? could I potentially just paint the pad red with a lamda on it or something or will that look odd mixed in?

What does the Minotaur's symbol look like?

You could pick up the etched brass to use.

Do you have the wherewithal to make your own transfers?

Arrroooooooooooo!!! the sky warriors of Fenris have landed! just finished up a bunch of my Tabletop/Character level guys for a local player who I hope to have a game against one day this year! You'll see I've focused on a few main areas, namely a nice highlight to the armour and a more shaded look to the faces for contrast which gives more reason for me to keep the extra details in similar darker colours heavily shaded I think they look pretty nice all grouped together and will hopefully lead their wolf brethren into many sagas to come.

My two personal favourites are the old school original Njal Stormcaller model it just has a great balance to it with posing and presence on the table bringing down the storm onto his foes! and I also really like the new Ulrik the Slayer model, I did something a little different with him by keeping him nearly all dark and black/grey to help emphasise his role within the chapter his armour and cloak only subtly highlighted and his face and extra details used to bring him to life.

all in all I'm pretty happy for the look on these guys at this level and I hope they will be used plenty!


Smile, group shot!

Old school Logan Grimnar

Iron Priest

Wolf Lord on puppy

New version of Njal StormCaller

Wolf Pelt Banner Bearer

Arjac Rockfist

Old Njal looking hella tough!

Ulrik the Slayer


There you go guys hope you like them too!

Sweet merciful plaguefather those nurgle dudes are fantastic. I've wanted to do a Truescale Death Guard Plague Marine squad using Blightkings for a while now and you may just have tipped me over the edge...

Space Wolves look great too

Awesome Spacewolves. I like the darker look and armor. Gives them a ancient look.

Agreed. Love the Ulric model, you've done an outstanding job on him.
