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 !!!!
