Nice work on the repentia, they're looking great.

Nice work on the terrain too.

EDC

so i got this headless blood crusher, and a bunch of carnifex heads this called for conversion time!
so first i got the head with twin horns and many eyes, and the head with the massive lower jaw and merged them
and attached the head to the model to check the size!



looked good but was missing something so i ripped off the head and got to work
i first molded a square plate outta green stuff, waited till it dried then carved into it
while i was carving i thought wouldn't an arrow look good here
and got the following as a result:



now im going to wait for the patches to dry give it a final sanding and re attach it
while i was playing with nid parts i felt like working a bit on my metal nids...
i recently got these mecanical heads and wanted to see what it would look like on a homogaunt...
not the biggest fan of this head on this model.. ill save the rest for more necron conversions



getting back to the sisters i wanted to try a new red head blend
excuse the blurriness but the hair turned out pretty well, i used scab red, orange, and a tan
i like how it turned out



the final mini i will add to this post is batgirl, primed and base coated black, then got started on the yellow
base coated the hair, it will be a similar coloring as the sister, and base coat for the skin
and of course my camera is like ork focusing at all on the mini

thx for the comments EDC!
im being a little hard on myself about the terrain
maybe ill try to make the next one more 3d

anyway i got around to finishing a couple more of my metal nids, im just looking to finish up the squad
this cybernetic head is growing on me but i really like the little bulkier genestealer arms the squad is now just short one



although i dont usually paint my nids they seem to be getting alot of attention from me all of a sudden,
*blames the blood crusher* the winged ripper base has a new addition yay with the third on the way
i cant believe they dont come with flight sticks tho had to drill into them to add it too now all i gotta worry about is fitting them on the base



You xenos cant escape batgirl!
i added another thin layer of yellow and finished her hair
now i gotta start shading the yellow and work on the black
and clean up the cape! still so much to do

So i played my first batman miniatures game,
we played a six player 150 point shifting allegiances match
i took my painted batman out for a spin didn't win but at least i didn't get killed
this was turn two



i took a picture of my first point



not sure why the picture uploaded sideways but oh well
i came back from the washroom and found raz and lobo confronting me!
next turn lobo ended up on my team

so last night i thought i finished up batgirl
just noticed i forgot the utility belt









im just going to paint the utility belt then add the satin finish then she will be done

i got some paint on red hood,
i thought id tackle the white chest and the hood first



now i cleaned up all the mess, and then painted up the coat the white trim and silver is next
i started painting the rider and a leg, still some work to do on the rider but hes coming along nice so far
i primed two more legs



i got these rippers all painted and ready,
ill paint up the rest of them soon

hey been busy lately but i got red hood pretty much done,
ill post more pics of him after he is varnished and his base is painted up
i think the shin pads should be silver so they are not sure what the actual colour should be



well i also got a bit of paint on a couple more blood crusher legs between layers



thats all there is there isn't any more (for today)

hey guys just posting some updated batman team pics
batgirl with her belt painted and varnished


redhood based and varnished




and a pic of redhood and batman together

so now that i finished my batman team im a bit sad... and the new models i ordered haven't come in yet...
so ill get back to painting other stuff... or so i thought, i went back to my lasurus pot
popped out the temp surface cut the reaper mermaid that i had sitting around added some milliput and voila
i kinda forgot to take a pic before i started painting it....





i think i did the under water bum quite well, although i just noticed i forgot her eye brows...
and i noticed her finger is missing a piece... when did that happen?
i also made sure to add a bit of a green tint to her skin in some places (wet spots lol)

i also did i bit more work on hawkgirl/scourge everything has been patched up since this pic
the shoulder has been mended, pants line has been added and sanded properly
and the head is still in the air... im thinking of replacing it with an edited scourge mask after i get the bmg model
and i finally got around to weighting her base. (so she wont fall over )



i'll do hawkman too at some point, toss a gun on her base... i also might change her base...
well i also painted up a blood angel, gonna give him a decorated bolter, to help dress up the tactical marines

so first off let me show off the finished tactical marine
im going to be slowly redoing all my blood angels to have more BA bling



just going to varnish him and put him away
As for lazurus talia i decided to give her glowing eyes thx to a recommendation
and added a few suttle splashes of green to her skin just going to apply the finishing touches and she should be done



i started laying some paint on my hawkgirl proxie for Bmg or DE scourge
i really like how this model came together it was a bit worried when i took it apart for painting
especially with how much trouble the wings gave me to glue on even after pinning them



and just to add a bit od chaos to the mix i started painting a chaos lord
although i think his sword is too short! so i might try to extend it before i come around to painting it

so talia is finished.. or is she?
just going to clean up the glow effect a bit and add the varnish





some more paint got on hawkgirl, those black lines look awsome and i have no idea how they got there
i gotta clean her up a bit, finish off the other arm and reattach it wings too



also the demon that the blood crusher rides is just waiting for varnish and the rider of course

hawkgirl is done and waiting for a few layers of finish

i have been priming a few models, and forgetting about models i already started
i gotta brighten up the red on his fingers a bit, i had a nice painting session with him last night
some sticky stuff (old glue?) got on my finger somehow and i touched the shield
thats how he got that cool texture on its face.. totally did that on purpose

so i had a painting spree a couple nights ago and finished off animated series season 4 batman!
he turned out fabulous in certain angles the capes highlights look blue




obviously i finished off the base a bit later and he has a coat of varnish now
he needs one more team mate for my second batman team

hey guys my internet is going to be crap for a while, but anyway
i did alot on abadon, i should take a newer pic since he is almost done
he came with a finger missing and the eye on the same shoulder is a bit messed up
but painted up it might not be as visible



i also got this silk assassin, sadly her scarf is missing so i gotta test my GS skills and try to make one from scratch
not too sure how it will turn out, im kinda dreading it, the base i through together is pretty cool though



the last thing im going to share is this riddler objective i through together
i think im going to add a computer screen or something to it solve the riddle step on the button..
get it right and the light lights up get it wrong and boom!

so i had this guy sitting for a while and just got around to working on him,
he only really needs his back pack, and shoulder pads painted up now



and my second cop henchmen taser cop got some work done on him
blues are almost done, and the skin just needs a little highlighting
ive actually done more work on him after the pic such as adding the red strip up the leg
gotta keep them uniform



cant forget my new loot objective for the bmg!
batman has pulled out his famed owl statue to lure penguin into a trap
the floor was added to stabilize the pillar, it kept falling over!

well abadon has been finished off
i think the sword turned out ok
i painted up the back of the legs silver cause it reminded me a bit of xmens colosis
i do think his face is a little to pale i might get around to adding blood splatter or something later









before i forget i have this raptor waiting on his head and wings..
the pic is blurry

Not to worry im still alive just had painters block...
i got red robin/catman done dont know if i shared wip shots or not this was him before the base was painted
not really sure why i got him... but he is in a super cool position and was fun to paint



i knida like the model i converted better than the actual model,
the mace is in such an awkward position gaak how did that red smuge get there

hey so hawkgirl fell and i almost died...
thankfully i was able to glue her back together and touch her up...
there are more pics in my gallery but here is the best one



also i got gordon done over night the next day i applied a wash and bam
quick easy and painless and now my law forces have a leader



and finally strait outta counter strike come my swat cop
as soon as i saw him that game came to mind lol

Sry I've been out of the hobby for a while my room was destroyed by an ork fire truck so my room is done and I'm setting up the new work bench my mom transformed the chocolate tree to a paint tree



more pictures of the new workspace soon as well as new minis I have a bunch of models to start working on too

well its been a while since ive posted, kinda around when my workbench was unavailable
ive been working on finishing up all my batman + marvel stuff
while waiting for other projects to dry ive been working on this



im also converting harleys goons to the number gang, diamond faction
but i dropped jack and he bumped his head and broke his crown so after some patchwork
his arm also broke off so its not perfect anymore which will piss me off a bit but alas



ill post more wip pics if anyone is interested,
i will also be posting some of my models that ive painted while i was away

Ok after much craziness , (should be able to find some new things in my gallery tho )
i got a couple commissions, painted up some assorted marvel and DC, and some anima tactics of all things
please ignore my dvd background as i show you some of my latest

Starting with iron patriot i probably could have done better on the chest star but other than that he turned out pretty good
was painting a second iron man for a freind, and he didnt have the iron patriot model so i figured this way it wouldn't be too repetitive
stars on his shoulders turned out better than the chest, should have took more pics before sending him back



just noticed this was before i finished up the base but the last metal swat figure missing from my set
there are more cops of course but no more swat, except Brandon who is coming in the next post
and the new models came out in resin which are slightly cheaper
nothing too special but hes gonna bust down ur door anyway



after finding him, in need of touch ups and unfinished... hes finally been completed sword and all!
instead of rejoining my shelf of incomplete shame the grip is brown because i was finishing up echo (above)
had to touch up some sculls but for a model just thrown in a box he came out pretty well!
the sword touch ups dont show up in the photo so well but they are there



comments are appreciated more to come soon!

im not sure why but i keep taking pictures before i base them but i got to some new miniatures from the knights models line
line i mentioned in my last post i painted Brandon ill be taking a group shot of the swat cops together, as well as my commissioned avengers
Brandon was a breeze to paint, used a navy and oop enchanted blue regular black shading and sharpied GCPD to his back
made sure to use a sharp brush to paint his straps learned the long way sharp brushes are better than smaller brushes



at first i really didnt wanna paint him but here is deadshot
added a smidge of bluish grey on his pants so that they would look like two different materials
did the yellow line in one stroke all the way around...
not much else to say he didnt take much time or effort



now i apologize for the terrible photo but i noticed the mess on his coat after the photo and touched it up
really liked how his face turned out again another nice and easy model for the most part the dress shirt vest and tie were done first
just because i didnt wanna mess up the purple later so "why So Serious?"



check out my gallery for more pictures and updates,
i know it sucks that im using a phone camera but my camera died a while ago
see you next time!

ill start off with a project that im working on
since i had two of these guys sitting on my work bench i decided to convert one
i put on a kite shield, thinking of using his red black and white colour scheme


next are james and william from the court of owls sets
i decided to try out different colours to see how the would look with William (spinner) it was just gold and brown
while i like how the model turned out, i felt maybe i should try something out with the others
James and the other will probably all have similar colours
and yes the bases arent done in these photos




im looking to finish up the rest of the owls that i have, (two models were missing parts so they will pop up later)
until next time

so i havent played with my oxide finish lately so i pulled it out after painting a WW2 tank
its a freinds and he wants some wear and tear so i thought id pull it out
made sure it was properly shaded




so i decided to apply the oxide to the exhaust and the vents
here i love how it turned out and was going to apply rust to it when i realized i was out...
so i will be applying that later

im slowly coming back into my grove
finished off red guardian.. ill have better pictures of him with the rest of the converted group later
all his pics came out blurry, but ill post one anyway
pretty easy to paint so i wont explain too much, cutting off the round shield of a metal model wasnt a fun task tho



next up is this little ninja,
was pretty easy to paint aswell, although my flesh tone paint may be on its last leg,
its 20 yr old paint but i have trouble finding flesh tones i like, so i better start looking again
pretty simple paint job, my brother picked the colours two more are waitng on the shelf to be painted



also working on a heavy lazer team for a buddy of mine, it was partially painted by someone else... terribly uneven
not incredibly happy with how the lazer is turning out but its what it is

so i started working on lady krone
started the shading on her Armour still a bit of work left there
i mixed red in with the flesh tones to get her skin colour, haven't decided on her staff at all
burning skulls on the base are pretty much done fire kinda mixes into her legs on purpose
gold needs to be highlighted, teeth painted ect
without further ado here she is about half finished



next model ive prepared im calling it done even though i feel something is missing is strix from the BMG
brown with gold highlights i almost wanna strip her and do her in black but i wont ill probably touch up the gold
mainly because it doesn't stick out enough but alas she is done



i essentially gave up and im calling the heavy lazer team done
the hey you shouting helper is painted up, just noticed the belt buckle isnt painted
its for table top play so im just gonna let him loose as is now



see im getting back into the swing of things, cursing at brushes because they lost thier point and all
