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.

Plasma cannon.....well sort of

Here's a wip of my plasma cannon guy. Just need to base him and do the decal on his shoulder pad but to be honest, I'm waiting till I get the army fully painted then I'm gonna batch decal.......well that's the plan anyway.

So what do you guys think.

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

Tau for tea.

Once again sorry for the huge gap in posts. But here's a picture of one of my battle suits. I'm really pleased how its turned out, especially the base as it cost next to nothing at all. Rather than using flock I've used green tea leaves and peppermint tea leaves mixed to get a natural looking blend of grass, and the log is just a bit of random stick that my 4 year old daughter likes to bring home.......... Cheers Tilly, daddy loves ya. Now it needs a good spray of matt varnish but that'll happen when I can be bothered to go to shops ;-).
Oh yeah and I still need to paint the rim of the base green too but got interrupted by a 4 year old so by the next post it will be done as I'll have the full team done by then, I'm just putting the finishing touches on the last suit so I should have them posted up within the week I promise.
So as usual leave me a comment to tell me what you think.
So till next time...........Oorah.

Deathwing hoooooooo

I've got 3 squads if deathwing terminators to do so here's the first squad almost finished (barring the crux terminatus pads). I decided to go with regular marine helmets rather than the termy ones as I think that they just look cooler and I didn't have any termy powerfist arms, only the deathwing ones from the upgrade sprus so I had to do some cutting and splicing and dicing of the deathwing sword arms I had and some marine powerfist  arms and voila; instant terminator powerfist arms with a bit more character to them. Now hopefully when my other 10 terminator legs and torsos arrive from eBay I'll have a squad of powerclaw termies and a squad of thunder hammer & storm shield termies. My buddy Carl us letting me dive into his bits box tomorrow for termy arms :-). God I love that guy.

So here's the first squad (before primer and paint)

Let me know what you think so far.

W.I.P Plasma cannon dude.

I decided that in one of my tactical squads I needed, ok ok I WANTED plasma cannon guy but I didn't have one. Bad times. So I had an idea. I may not have had any plasma cannons but I did have some plasma guns in my bits box and thought about sticking them together to make a big one, but then decided against it and thought it would look pretty cool to see a marine with 2 plasma guns and count it as having a cannon. After all 2 guns are stronger than 1........right?
