This week is a glimpse at the completed beastman test model. This guy will set the tone for the army, so comments are definitely needed... anything from colors to style, etc. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image I am trying not to just post pics for the sake of posting pics, so my effort will be to update an army type each week that has made some progress, with pictures specific to the army. But I will give a typed update on what else I am working on. Beastmen: Army test model posted for review. I also have the second one about 70% completed. Orcs and Goblins: 5 goblin wolf riders (about 50% complete), Giant (60%), Orc test model (60%), Night Goblin Boss primed for painting. Ogres: 4 Ogre troops (80%), I had 6 total but can't seem to find two of them? Dwarfs: A little progress from last week but not a lot. Still working the 20 "Baggage Train" (40%), and the Bolt Thrower (70%). Also have a Dwarf Thane in the que, just done with the basing and shaving the bottom of the model to get him to fit the way I want. Mortals of Chaos: 20 marauders (about 60%), 1-10 are complete, working on 11-15 which are about 70% painted, and 16-20 are still being based. Demons of Chaos: Working on the demon from the earlier pics (60%) Skaven: Skaven lord on Giant Rat (60%), and also basing a test model for the troopers. Empire: Working on models 1-3 of 9 knights panther Vampire Counts: 3 Crypt Bats (will be varghulfs) about 70% complete. That is it. If anyone wants me to throw something in the que, and it fits with the army rules as far as the configuration (I don't care who manufacturers it), I will be glad to get it primered up and thrown in. No guarantees that it gets finished anytime soon, I tend to be sporadically inspired to paint different things each week. |

This week I am updating the Orcs and Goblins WIPs. So, on the table is the wolf riders, all five are in various stages of completion... now I just need to commit to finishing them. The musician and boss are the closest to being done. The Giant is also in their, very nearly done... need to finish his right arm and start hitting the little details. And finally, the Orc test model, on this one I am trying a new skin recipe, which I am not quite happy with yet. Looking for something that is still green but has more brownish undertones. Also, for the uniforms I am thinking of reddish brown, leathery brown, and black/grey colors and just mixing them up on the models so that they are uniform, but come across as not... if that makes sense. Also, by the orc, is another night goblin boss who has been based and primered but I am committed to finishing the wolf riders before I start him (we'll see how that works out, lol). Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Beasts: Did some weapon work on the second model, not a lot of progress since last week. Ogres: A little facial work (red noses and blue under the eyes). Dwarfs: weathering on the barrels of the organ gun and some gem work. Two more baggage train models just about complete. Mortals of Chaos: No progress. Demons of Chaos: No progress. Skaven: some base work on the test model. Empire: A little highlighting on one model. Vampire Counts: No progress. Tomb Kings: Yes, tomb kings! I have a bone giant on the basing table... and of course had to order all the new GW models that are coming out with the Nagash story line... Ashicus: Thanks, sometimes it is that little bit of motivation that means the difference between watching tv and painting with that cherished hour in the evening, lol. Kasmodian: Thanks, was going for an autumn theme on the beast without going overboard. |

Ok, this week is the Ogre Kingdoms update. These guys are very close to being finished, but the little details keep dragging me back to them and keeping me from calling them done. I re-worked the cape on the boss, the purple and red were just not enough contrast. Also, went back and re-worked some red with the newer GW red paints... a little more bright then the Reaper ones I was using (don't get me wrong, I love the Reaper Master Series paints, red is just so hard to get that wow factor with). Any last minute C and C would be welcome... I am hoping to wrap them up soon. Posted Image Posted Image Beasts: Beasts. Started working up a third model of ten. I need to get the remainder properly based and primered this week... Orcs and Goblins: Putting the finishing touches on the wolf rider musician and the boss. Nothing more on the Orc test model. Put the metallics on the NG Boss model. Mortals of Chaos: Worked some of the detail bits on models 11-15. I need to get 16-20 based and primered. Demons: No progress. Skaven: Test model is fully based. Need to work a few mould lines off of him and start painting. Worked some green skin bits on the monstrosity. Empire: Finishing touches on 1-3 or 9 Knights Panther. Vampire Counts: Metal work on the skeleton model (1 of 10). I need to get serious about finishing the Crypt Bats... not a whole lot left to do on them, just in that subdued green that I never think about when I sit down. Tomb Kings: Bone Giant has been based and is ready for primer. Dwarfs: Finishing touches on the Organ Gun, now to get the finishing touches on the crewman complete. Also, worked on models 5 and 6 of 12 for the baggage train. Based the Lord model I am getting ready to paint (this should bring us to 2000 points, so once he is complete I will get a new army shot). He needs to be primered now. Dawink: Thanks mate. I try to use a different basing method for each army, so I get to play with plenty of options. Ashicus: I tried commissions a long time ago, so I know exactly what you mean. It is very hard to keep up with and seems like there is no time to work on any of your own stuff. |

This weeks update will be Mortals of Chaos and Daemons of Chaos. I am currently working the third rank (though I plan to go back and re-detail some of the reds in the front rank as I do not think they pop well enough). For the fourth rank, the base is done, I just need to get the models pinned in and primered to get them started. For the Daemon model, I redid my thought process on the base to have the lava coming out in smaller spirts and will ultimately have a similar base as the marauders with that exception (there will be snow as well as lava). His wings are proving to be a pain, I am looking for more contrast on them but can't seem to find it. Also, I am not sure where to go with the plates covering his nether regions... I could almost leave them as is, maybe a bit darker and obviously a few highlights... but will it be a mistake to not use a color in there? Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Skaven: The test model got primered today, and will be ready for painting. No further work on the skaven lord and the giant rat, but this model will likely be very slow going. Empire: I should have models 1-3 of the Knights Panther done by the time an empire update comes along... models 4-6 are in the que to be based and primered, and I need to locate models 7-9 after the move. Also, I added a mortar and crew which I had previously painted in very pumpkin like colors that will get repainted to match the army. Vampire Counts: Very likely to have the crypt bats complete by the time we get to an update, I need to model some pumpkins to add to the base. Nor further work complete on model 1 of 10 for the skele spearmen unit. Tomb Kings: Got the bone giant primered today. Excited to start painting him. Dwarfs: Finished the organ gun, check out the Mousekillers Dwarven Throng thread to see it (there is a link at the bottom of the first post in this topic). Finished models 5-6 of 12 for the baggage train, and worked on 7-8. Also, primered the dwarf lord. Once these models are all complete, I should have very close to 2000 points in dwarfs (I may have to add some reinforcements to the handgunners and the dwarfs with two handed weapons to even it out, but very close). Beasts: Still need to get the remainder of the unit based and primered. Orcs and Goblins: More metallic work on the Night Goblin Boss, but nothing much beyond that. Skigaist: Thanks mate! |

This week brings the skaven update. I have blocked out the colors I think I will go with for the rats, but I am not completely convinced about the red/green combo on the shield. I could skip this, and just do wood for the planks? Any advice? Also, on the skaven lord, I am really trying to get those green bulbous bits on the giant rat to look very rotten and infected... any advice would be great. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Empire: A little more work on knights 1-3 this week, also started making an appropriate base for the 9 models. Model 4 got set up with a bit of green stuff to make make the model more leapordy. 5 and 6 will come next, followed by 7-9. Vampire Counts: Every time I look at the crypt bats I tell myself I will paint them soon. Skeleton 1 of 10 got a little wood work. Tomb Kings: Did a base of scorched brown on all the bone and wood bits for the Skeletal Giant. Also, put a base of metallics. Dwarfs: Just about done with 7 and 8 of 12 of the baggage train. Also, worked the thane up quite a bit, might even finish him before he even makes it to a WIP update ;). Beasts: Worked on 2-3 of 12 of the Beasts. Same blondish hair as the test model, but I will use different hair colors for the rest. Have to finish the loin clothes and age the weapons and these two will be done. Also, primered and put a metallic base coat on the Khazrak One Eye model. Orcs and Goblins: No significant updates. Mortals of Chaos: No progress. Demons of Chaos: A few washes of red to the inside of the wings. Vantraxx: Thanks mate. I wanted tats, but didn't want them to take over the mini, so I appreciate you saying that. |

This weeks update is Empire. Knights 1-3 are very nearly done, need some minor work: the sword of the captain is not quite right, so needs to be redone. The tongue and claws of the panther cloak needs to be finished. No more work has been done on the other models. I need to figure out how to best complete banners... my two dimensional ability is severely lacking. Also, added another warrior priest that has been in the "I will finish these models eventually" pile (back when I was using white primer). And a quick shot of the mortar and crew before the repaint, back when they looked more like pumpkin patch kids. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Vampire Counts: Did quite a bit on the Crypt Bat boss, still have to do his greenish skin and then start getting into the little details. Skeleton 1 of 10 got his bone bits done. Tomb Kings: Started the bone on the giant. Mostly just drybrushed up three layers... now to wash and then start highlighting up more deliberately. Dwarfs: Small detail work left on 7 and 8 of 12 of the baggage train. More work on the Thane, need to start working the metallics now. Beasts: Worked the skin on Khazrak. Finished the wood work on models 2-3 of 12. Orcs and Goblins: Going to finish he basing on the musician model and call him done. Time to get to work on the rest of them. No other progress on the NG boss or the orc. Ogre Kingdoms: No progress. Mortals of Chaos: Did the wood work on models 11-15. Added a set of 3 Chaos Ogres to the que, basing on 1 of 3 done. These can be used for the Ogre Kingdoms army as well. Demons: No progress. On a side note, just found out my dog has cancer so I have to fly out to see him before surgery and will be gone most of the week, so likely not much will get completed this week. |

This week brings us to the vamps and tomb king update. The Crypt Bat boss is continuing to receive work, I need to start his skin and I think he will start looking complete. I worked the wings a little more, they need some more washes and highlights to get them to the color of the other two. Also, the base will need some more work and a lot more pumpkins! For the skeletons, the test model got a wash of black and will start getting real highlights soon. After putting them all together on the base, this unit is going to take a lot of work. I have 9 models (the 10th has got to be around somewhere), but I think if I use a little ingenuity I can get the unit up to a 20 strength after a little boneyard raid. For the skeletal giant, he got a wash of black and I will start highlighting the bones next... also gave the medal bits a base of gold. I know for the Tomb King theme I am going to use primary colors of turquoise, gold, and red, but not sure quite yet how to incorporate the turquoise on this guy. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Dwarfs: Continued finishing models 7 and 8, need to finish the metal bits and they will be done. Also, worked the hero some more, he is coming along quickly. Once I am done with this group, I should be close to 2000 points for the army, but I need to go and do the math... I might have to add 10 more warriors with two handed weapons to that unit and a couple more handgunners to round it all out. Beasts: Did some lining on the models 2-3 and applied some washes to Khazrak. Orcs and Goblins: No progress Ogre Kingdoms: No progress. I really need to finish these guys as the OK army has so many cool models to paint. Mortals of Chaos: Did the leather work on the boots for models 11-15. Demons: No progress. Skaven: Worked the leather bits on the test model. Empire: Worked the armor on the warrior priest. As for my dog, they removed to suspicious sites and tested the lymph nodes for cancer, all results came back negative so they think they got it all. |

So, we are finally back around to Dwarfs. Since the last Dwarf update, we finished the Organ Gun and started the Dwarf Thane. I finished 7 and 8 of the 12, now I need to finish the details on 9-12, and looking at the hornblower I realize that I somehow forgot to do his feet. Once I finish these, I will add about 10 more dwarf warriors with two handed weapons to the unit of 10 that is already done, and a few more handgunners (I think 6, to round it out at 16). That should close this army up at 2000 points and then we can really start getting crazy with it. Anyway, not much to the thane, but any tips would be appreciated... I am thinking of a "badger" like cape? Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Beasts: Primered and based models 4-5 of 12. Just about done with 2-3. Did the horns and skulls on Khazrak. Orcs and Goblins: Did the skin on the Goblin Boss. Primered and based two more orcs. No progress on the wolf riders... maybe next week. Ogre Kingdoms: Maybe next week :( It seems when they get to the little details I struggle to finish. Mortals of Chaos: Did the red bits on models 10-11 of 20. Also, based model 2 of 3 of the Chaos Ogres, and primered model 1. Demons: Started working the red again, trying to really get it to pop... we'll see how that works out. Skaven: Worked the green boils a little on the rat. No other progress. Empire: Added the furry bits and cape to model 4 of 9. Painted the red bits of 1 of 3 to the mortar crew. Also, painted the red cape of the warrior priest. Can you tell it was a red week? Vampire Counts: Painted red onto the weapons of the crypt bat boss... sort of a unique pattern... we will see if I still like it when the rest of the model gets done. Also, did the bone bits on him. Highlighted the bones of skeleton 1 of 10, and primered models 2 and 3. Tomb Kings: Highlighted the bones of the skull... it will take some time to do all that bone on the skeletal giant. Also worked the gold up a bit. Vantraxx: Thanks! Now he is getting a bit ornery because of the healing. |
