Oh and I know I keep promising to take better photos. I assure you it'll happen.........er one day...........honest.

You just gotta check this out.

Please for the love of God go and check out plastic psychosis. This guy has only just set up the blog and has only introduced himself so far. BUT he scratch builds 40k vehicles and usually posts the pictures of them on Facebook and they are just absolutely SPOT ON. I for one can't wait to see his first tutorial squeeeeeeeeee

This is a pic of his landraider that half way through at the moment. WOW right?

So till next time............ Oorah!!!!!!!!

Deathwing

Here's a pic of the first actual deathwing terminator I've got done. If I'm honest I'm not overly happy with it but it'll have to do cos I'm way too lazy to start over.

Comments please good or bad.

So till next time............. Oorah!!!!!!

Techies make me smile.

Just a quick one to say I like tech marines. That is all.

This is the bit where I ask fir feed back.

Till next time........ Oorah

Remember those cog boys

Hey there. Remember those terminator tech marines I posted a while back. Well I've painted one of them.

As usual leave any feed back good or bad.

So till next time............. Oorah

Interrogator chaplain badass

Hi there people. Back again finally after a long time. Gonna keep it short and sweet. Here's my interrogator chaplain. A friend of mine donated him to me but he had been amputated from the elbows down so I basically scrambled about in my bits box and came up with what you see here. Hope you enjoy peeps.

As usual leave any feed back good or bad (yes I know it's not based but I'm gonna wait till my full deathwing is painted then base them all together. )

So till next time (promise it'll be sooner rather than later this time) oorah!!!

Da boyz

Right then, this blog is gonna literally be an orks blog from now on with the space marine bits and bobs thrown in for good measure.

Now here's my first boy done and dusted. I'm pretty pleased with it to be honest and it only took about an hour and a half to paint up including drying time, which is what I'm after with my irks force. They're supposed to be just a bit of fun to be honest. Just how they're meant to be. So no golden daemon efforts on these guys then eh.

This was my test model as I didn't really want to batch paint up a mob of boys only to be disappointed with the end result. But if im totally honest, I wish I'd have taken the risk now. Oh well we live and learn I suppose.

As usual, I ask for criticism, good or bad.

So till next time.............. Oorah!!!!!!!!!

W.I.P ginger Italian

Just a wip of my next commission, its coming along nicely but my friend has well and truly bodged the hand that's holding the standard and there's no way I can make a good job of it paintjob wise so I'm gonna put a hand guard around I think. 

So till next time..........Oorah.

Italian ginner is done.

Hey guys (and gals but, well you know, probably not) I finished the the standard bearer for my buddy that he commissioned me to do and I've got to say I'm pretty pleased with it. Rather than try and fashion a hand guard for the hand holding the standard pole to hide the shocking green stuff work I opted for the x-acto knife instead and cut and shaved instead. This was also my first attempt at a banner too. Fantasy models are pretty fun to paint I must say and I'm looking forward to the next model that he throws my way.

Oh and I've decided to add a random picture of my baked beans and black pudding pizza I made last night as it was all kinds of epic.

So till next time.......... Oorah!!!!

Deathwing!!!!!! With techmarines?

Yes that's right boys & girls, techmarines alongside the deathwing. After reading the Dark Angels new codex I was a bit excited ( ok ok I was like a giddy little school girl ) to read that you can take a techmarine for every HQ choice in your army and they don't take up a slot. You see the thing is, techmarines are my favorite little faction within space marines so I just had to include 2 in my deathwing army............But, I didn't want them to look odd amongst the rest of the army so I managed to get my hands on some extra termies (thanks rich) and started converting them to fit in amongst the big guys of the 1st company.

Here's my list.

Belial with lightning claws

Interrogator chaplain in termy armour with porta rack

Techmarine with lightning claw & storm bolter

Techmarine with lightning claw & storm bolter

5 deathwing with lightning claws & cyclone missile launcher in a landraider crusader with multi-melta

5 shooty deathwing with flamer.

5 shooty deathwing with assault canon

1500 on the nose.

The plan is to stick Belial, the Chaplain & the techmarines in the landy with the rest of the lightning claw dudes and rip someone a new one.

So as usual would love to get some feedback on the conversions and also the list.

So till next time .......... Oorah.

Leopard print grrrrrrr

A few weeks ago a friend of mine asked if I would paint up a character model for him for a campaign he's involved in at his local gaming club. So since I wanted his cash I naturally obliged, but then he went and told me that the models colour scheme was entirely up to me ++ happy days ++ BUT, yrs there's always a but isn't there. He tells me that leopard skin has to be incorporated into the model.

You B@$#&*D !!!!! 

So I went ahead and rose to the challenge and painted it up for him and it turned out great..........until I did the bloody cape in orange........I couldn't of got it any more wrong so out came the google search and I found a natural leopard print of various browns. I repainted the cape in a number of different browns, and, YES I CRACKED IT. Leopard print cape for the general dude for whatever geeky goings on campaign my friend is playing in.

I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with it and so is my friend, I actually got some good feedback from his club too so a chufty badge for me I think :-).

So as usual I apologise for the rubbish photos (still need to get a decent camera) and please leave feedback, good or bad.

So till next time........... Oorah !!!!!!!!

Ragnar Blackmane finished

Just a really quick one really, its 2 in the morning, I've just got in from work and I'm VERY tired so here's the finished article.

Hope you all like it, as usual leave feedback good or bad, blah blah blah

So till next time ..........Oorah!!!!!

Ragnar Bkackmane WIP

Here's the Ragnar Blackmane commission I've started and I've got to say...... What a pig of a model this is to paint, I was told a while back that the old models can be a bit troublesome to paint but I dismissed it as.I've never had a problem....until now lol. It's just with it being a fully molded model (apart from the backpack) some details merge and also with it being so old, some details aren't as crisp, like the the face. I think guy has had a punch too many in the face by being dropped over the years so I'm not too happy with the face but I've done the beat I could. Should have pic of him finished with the backpack shortly, its just the highlights to do.

Hopefully I should have a decent camera for future projects too. As usual I've used my phone so I took a pic inside with the flash and one outside in natural light.

As usual any sort of feed back is welcomed.

So till next time........Oorah.

My first commission finished.

 

Here's some pics of ulrik the slayer that I did as a commission for a work colleague and friend. It turned out pretty awesome if I do say so so myself and I was pretty gutted to have to hand it over as it was probably one of my best painted yet.........and it wasn't even my model :-( . Oh well, I suppose its cos I can get abut lazy doing my own stuff but you can't do that when you're painting a model for a client.
So what do you all think of him now he's finished.
So till next time......... Oorah !!!!

 

 

Da Veedub repainted

Just a quick post here. After painting the trukk I made from 2 of the old skool gorka trukks, Da Veedub looked waaaay too clean and tidy and Sooooooo didn't look the part so I gave it a repaint with some brighter blues and lots of muck, grime and rust, oh and I chopped the end of the flamer off to and replaced it with a big shoota.
So have at it.
Till next time........... Oorah

Da meks in town......... And he made some buggies!

Here's my 3 warbuggies that I've converted from 3 deffcopters out of the assault on black reach set. I cant really give a how to on how I did them as I just dived in with a knife, glue, my bitz box and some good old mek ingenuity lol. I'm uber chuffed with how they've turned out and I can't wait to hit them with some paint.
So as usual leave me some feed back whether it be good or bad.
So till next time.......... Oorah !!!!

My first commission

So I've been asked by a guy at work to paint some space wolf HQ choices for him. Ulrik the Slayer, Ragnar Blackmane and Logan Grimnar.

Here's a few wip shots of Ulrik, I need to finish off his wolf pelt and paint his back pack then it'll be time to start work on Ragnar Blackmane.

I've been sending wip shots to my client and he's very happy with my work so I'm happy but what do you guys think so far, as always good and bad criticism welcome.

So till next time............ Oorah!!

Keep on trukkin

Here's a quick post, I've decided that with the orks I'm gonna go quick and easy with the painting.........just like an ork really.
So here's my trukk thats only took me about 2.5 hours which is pretty bloody quick for me. Just a load of dry brushing with details picked out then washes applied to the bits that needed em, mainly the metals really.
So what do you guys think.
So till next time............ Oorah !!

Goodbye green Tau, HELLO GREENSKINS!!!

Greetings blogosphere, sorry for the ridiculously long time between blogs. I decided that I needed something FUN to play so I posted up on a local gaming club Facebook page that I had 1500pts of tau that I'd like to trade for the same in orks and BLAM, I got someone straight away and we made the trade. I really couldn't be happier with the greenskins and the projects I've got in store for them.
I promise I'll post pics more often too this time. I received 2 if the old trukks but since they're a bit on the small side I pulled them apart and made 1 from both of them. I wish I had taken some before pics but hindsight is a wonderful thing don't you think.
Here are a couple if pis if it. I still don't have a decent camera so I'm still using my phone so I apologise for that. I know its not the greatest trukk conversion out there but I'm pretty happy with it. The orks are only for pick up games so I'm not trying to impress anyone really but at the same time I want something that's not gonna get me laughed at :-).
So what do you think. Good or bad criticism welcomed.
So till next time...........OORAH.
