This week is an update on the beasts. It was a busy week at work, so I did not get a lot of painting done. Pretty much done with models 1-3, may need to touch up a few minor details. Base coated skin and metal on models 4-5. Also, did a bit of metal work on Khazrak. Not entirely sure what color to do his hair in... the only picture I could find of him painted was the one in the warhammer beasts book, but they had him with blackish grey hair, but I think he needs something to contrast all the chain mail. Any advice? Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Orcs and Goblins: No updates this week, but since next week is the picture update my goal is to finish up the wolf hero and musician. Ogre Kingdoms: No updates. Mortals of Chaos: Metal bits on models 11-12. Demons: No updates. Skaven: No updates. Empire: Did a base coat of metal bits on the mortar. Vampire Counts: Worked the red into the weapon of the Lord Crypt Bat, also did his skin (finally). Probably the most significant progress I made on anything this week. Tomb Kings: A little bit of bone work, nothing significant. As I look at him, I really want to use turquoise somewhere, but I feel like his tattered clothing would be muted in color. Dwarfs: No updates on the baggage train. Worked the metal and gem a little on the thane. As I said, not a lot done this week, so here is to hoping for more before next week! Ashicus: Thanks! |

This week is Orcs and Goblins. I didn't have a lot of painting time this week because I spent most of the week in Korea, so I mostly concentrated on getting work done on these guys. I am pretty much calling the musician and boss wolf rider complete (some very minor details to finish up), so please be very critical with them and your recommendations, we still have three more to finish up to call the unit done. I worked up the army on the giant. The skin needs another wash I think, then another highlight. I like the color of the scales, but I think they will pop more once I get the cloth straps done. Did some dry brushing on the concrete slab, still needs a few rounds of wash/highlight to give it the right sense of dirty. He is starting to really come together I think. Did the robes on the NG Boss. Finally, the Orc got his pants and shoes done up, though I am not entirely sure I like how he is coming out. I will keep working on him, a lot of times it is the midway point where I lose all motivation on a mini... and there are around 40 of these guys to paint in the long run so I want to get it right. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Ogre Kingdoms: No updates. I will make some headway this week, hopefully finish up the unit and get something new started. Mortals of Chaos: No updates. Demons of Chaos: No updates. Skaven: No updates (starting to see a trend?) Empire: Based 4-6 of the knights. Need to finish the fur modeling on knight 6 so I can get the three primered. Finished the red, yellow, and leather bits on the mortar ball carrier, which means the skin, ball, hair, and base is all he needs to be done. I love seeing the before and after on these guys. Vampire Counts: Decided on green and red as colors for the skeleton unit, so I highlighted those up on the test spearman model. I will probably incorporate red into all the units, but switch up the secondary color so that they still look cohesive but also independent, if that makes any sense. Also happened while I was painting the giants scales... had some paint left in the pot so I figured I would try it and see if I like it. Tomb Kings: Basecoated the turquoise bits... not sure if I like the glowing green inside his body next to the turquoise? He is a big model, so normally (like the giant) I could take the liberty of using a variety of colors, but most of the colors on him will be muted. Worse case I will have to go back and repaint another color. Dwarfs: No update. Beasts: No update. |

This week brings us to the Ogres, and I am happy to say that I finished the 4 Ogres that I was working on (you can see the finished product on the Mousekiller's Ogre Kingdoms log). In addition, I put together, based, and primered 1 and 2 of 4 Ironguts. I had a few requests last week for more giant pictures, so since the Ogres don't have a huge picture update I will add in a few this week. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Mortals of Chaos: Worked the red on the weapons of models 11-15 of the marauder unit. Also worked the red and flesh of the Chaos Ogre Boss. Demons: Worked the red some more on the Demon Prince. Also, decided to go with a more firelike look and got rid of the flesh tone on the wings... not entirely sure if I like it or not. Skaven: No updates. Empire: Primered knights 4 and 5 of 9. Painted the red bits of 2-3 of the crew for the mortar. Vampire Counts: Worked the metal bits and red armor bits on the crypt bat boss. Tomb Kings: No updates. Dwarfs: No updates. Beasts: No updates. Orcs and Goblins: Tried another brown color on model 2 of the Orc unit. I think I like it. Ashicus: Thanks! |

This week brings us to the mortals of chaos and daemons update. I wish I would have gotten more done, but with my paper due this weekend that took up most of my time. Worked the weaponry up a bit more on the marauders, some more highlights on the demon - please be very critical with the demon at this stage, as he is getting pretty close to done. I decided to go with a much "hotter" look, but I still need to decide what to do with the loin cloth. Eyes will likely be a bright green, the tongue maybe purple? The ogre got a bit of red work done as well. All in all, if I had had another two hours of painting time I could have finished the marauders... but the past is the past :( Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Skaven: No updates. Plan to work on them primarily this week as they get the update next week. Empire: Broke the banner on the banner bearer. Not sure what I will do. Frustrated. No other updates. Vampire Counts: No updates. Tomb Kings: No updates. Dwarfs: No updates. Beasts: No updates. Orcs and Goblins: No updates. Not liking this trend. Ogres: No updates. |

This week brings us the a Skaven update. For the monstrosity, I worked the green bits a bit more, using a bit of magenta to hopefully make it a bit grosser. Also, added some blood (will take some more, fresh blood after its been dull coated, but this blood should do for now), highlighted up the robes of the rider. I just feel like its not quite gross enough yet, like I am missing something.... For the skaven test model, what are your thoughts? Other than tidying up the base, he is done. Was thinking that I might color up the shoulder bits to add some more depth? With dags or squares? Please be very critical with him as he is the first for the unit. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image I added an overall shot of all the finished painted stuff... over a decades worth of work... pretty sad. I did go thru a phase where I was selling, so that was probably two years lost. Hopefully I can speed it up a bit. Posted Image Empire: Base coated the armor and horse bits for Knight 4. Grabbed a plastic banner pole to recreate the metal one that broke off of Knight 5, got the pole pinned into the model and the banner prepped for pinning. I may leave it off for painting and mount it after. Vampire Counts: No update. Tomb Kings: No update. Dwarfs: Worked the baggage cart some, trying to finish up all the little details. Beasts: No updates. Need to find some very fine wire to fix the whip that broke during a move. Tried a green stuff solution, but it did not work well. Orcs and Goblins: No updates. I am contemplating some tattoos for the giant, something to help break up that mass of a belly. Ogres: Basecoated the metal bits, skin, and purple parts. Mortals of Chaso: Worked the metal on the chaos ogre. Demons: Tried a purple for the loincloth, not liking it. ASHICUS: Thanks! THE_WENDOL: Thanks! |

Well, another week of getting very little done. This week is the Empire update, so what little time I had I tried to focus on them. Got the pole fixed on the knight banner bearer, in the picture the banner is sitting on a pin and not glued in, so it can be painted and adjusted. I like the taller banner look from what I had before. On Knight 4, I did the yellow bits (still a few more stages to go), a base of blue, the metal base with a black wash, and the horse is based with a black wash. Also did the skin bits on the knights face and the horse muzzle. For the mortar and crew, I started the yellow side of the mortar, based the red side and metals, and worked the crew up a bit in the same colors plus the skin. On the warrior priest, I worked the gold bit on the front, but more is going to be needed. Also, did his skin up and added blue to the book. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Vampire Counts: I feel like if I get any time this week, I should be able to finish the bats. I added a highlight to the bat skin, but other than that no updates for VC. Tomb Kings: No updates. Dwarfs: No update. Beasts: Did the skin on Beasts 4 and 5. Orcs and Goblins: No updates. Ogres: Skin on Ironguts 1 and 2. Mortals of Chaos: Skin on the chaos ogre. No other updates. Demons of Chaos: No updates. Skaven: Models 2 and 3 are getting prepped for primer. ASHICUS: Thanks! |

How did you build up the bases for the Marauders? If you don't mind me asking. |

Another week with little done, but I did finish something! This week is Vamps and Tomb Kings, and I was able to finish the Crypt Bats, so I am excited about that. I will post an army update soon showing them. I am including a picture of the Vampire Counts army so you can see how little is actually done ;). I have the skeletons at a fairly good stage, need to dirty them up and rust up the weapons, another few highlights as well, but I like the color combination for the unit. The skeletal giant got some highlights on the cloth bits. Also, now that I finished the crypt bats, figured I would add a summoner for the Tomb King army... does anyone remember the name of the model? It is a Reaper model, just can't remember which one. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Dwarfs: No updates. I should be able to finish the baggage train and the hero by next week though. Beasts: Finally fixed the whip for Khazrak One Eye... it had broken. Used some wire to make a whole new whip... hopefully it holds. Orcs and Goblins: No updates. Ogres: No updates. Mortals of Chaos: No updates. Demons: No updates. Pulled some Blood Letters out to start basing. Skaven: Worked the nasty bits on the giant rat a little trying to get it to be grosser. Empire: No updates. Dawink: I used cork to build the layers up, then wall spackle compound to give it angles, and then sand over all of it with some rocks mixed in. Hope that helps! |

Lots of lovely variation, always something new to look at. Where is that bone giant from? I don't recognize it. |

Dwarf update! So, I didn't get a lot done with the rest of the armies, but I did manage to finish the baggage train and the Dwarf Hero, so I am pretty happy about that. So, this week is photos of what is up next for the dwarfs. I have an older model that I have modified, Kragg the Grimm, who will get a repaint as well as the addition of the pony to pull the anvil and his two anvil guards. Also, next for the gun line will be a stone thrower. And finally, six reinforcements for the unit of Thunderers. The last will need to be done first, as well as another 10 warriors with double handed weapons to round out the 2000 points... which gives me ample time to work a proper scenic drop for the first two models. Check out the Dwarven Throng Army thread for the completed works thus far! The link can be found in the first post in this topic. Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Beasts: Nothing done. The goal this week will be to finish Khazrak and the next two beast troopers. Orcs and Goblins: I did some leather strap work on the giant. Ogres/Bretonnia: No updates. Added a unit of Pegasus knights to the que. Mortals/Demons of Chaos: No updates. Skaven/Lizards: No updates to Skaven. Decided to round out all of the armies and add Lizards (and elves, later) with a unit of skinks in the que. Empire: No updates to Empire. Vamps/Tomb Kings: No updates. Elves: All three elf types will fall into this category, as I really hate the skinny buggars. Added a unit of High Elf archers to the que. Enjoy! TvetovNato: From Reaper Miniatures. This is an older metal version, but apparently they now have a resin based one in their "BONES" category. |
