Tick Tock, time has passed me by

Posted on November 1st, 2012 under Posted by

What a horribly long absense, and I am sure my post here is just a short return. Work has been wonderfully chaotic as I have gone through some major changes including location and new work team.My little girl is now a very busy 15 month old and as soon…

Rot and nuts

Still plugging away at the rot, and now I am going nuts with work going into full swing once again. Bard

Plague Bearer Progress

Posted on August 12th, 2012 under Posted by

Hello again, and welcome back to “Painting models with a proper Primer”. Thats right, the models already look so much better than previously, that I didn’t wait to compare with the old primer but have stripped the primer and paint from ALL the models.F…

White Primer Hates Me

Posted on August 10th, 2012 under Posted by

Here I was all excited to start painting! I assembled 10 of the awesome new demons and made some nice bases for them and then primed them with a brand new can of white. Needless to say, after you look at the pictures, you will understand why they are i…

Preparing the rot

Posted on July 30th, 2012 under Posted by

Not sure why, but I am a bit jazzed for the new Nurgle Demons being released by GW later this month. I have a very modest number of the old plague bearers and have never been overly keen on collecting more of the static pose troopers. The new plas…

A finished Dragon Prince…errr Blood Knight

Posted on July 19th, 2012 under Posted by

Ok he is done. I am not overly happy about how he looks up close (aka in photographs) but he looks ok in person. The Spray primer has been thrown away as it continued to spray little pebbles of paint on all proceeding tests I did in the backyard.Next p…

Blood Knights 1/5 WIP

Posted on July 11th, 2012 under Posted by

Having recently painted a Wight King as a gift, I found myself burned out. Not wanting to pursue the hobby to any extent and instead focusing on playing with my daughter and other computer games along with my new IPad. Yesterday I got some motivation b…

Browns vs Greens

Posted on June 6th, 2012 under Posted by

I tried two different colour schemes on the Wight king’s collar piece. I started off with a khaki faded to white followed by a camo green faded to white edges. I think the green offers more contrast with the skull AND gives that clasic paiting useage o…

Wight King WIP 2

Posted on June 1st, 2012 under Posted by

A bit more done in between work, company, and family. I have the hood area to do, but this model is starting to get closer to the done stage. I hesitate on the hood though…should I paint it green like the cloak or stick with the beige/brown colour of…

Wight King WIP

I have been working on a character model for the Vampire Counts army in my spare time this week. (when I am not playing Diablo 3) I am going for an eventual “earth tone” look. Things are still in the early stages and are bright and clean…that wi…

Thursday Musings

Posted on May 11th, 2012 under Posted by

I don’t know about you, but I had a busy week. A nine month old daughter, visiting family and a hectic work week all added up to one tiered guy. On the bright side I did squeeze in the Avengers with a friend and enjoyed it tremendously! I went in to …

Crypt Horror 2

Posted on May 4th, 2012 under Posted by

The second one is now done. Sorry for the crappy pics. Is it just me or is he purple guy, while the first one was red guy? Maybe I need to colour theme all of them, and then I would have me some power rangers for the undead army!Bard
