Blood Bowl - Da Green Teem Part 2

 The orc side of the Blood Bowl set are finished.  So without further preamble, here are some pictures!

I'm a Ricalope of few words today, so until next time (be well).

Space Wolves - Wyrdmoon

 I have a problem; I finish models faster than I can post them...so here is the most-recently painted Space Wolf.  The rune priest is a very fuzzy model (with fur covering most of his armour), but lacked many of the issues that most people report about finecast.  There were a couple of bubbles (mostly underneath the cloak) but the details are very crisp and deep.  It almost felt like painting a Forge World model.

 The left shoulder pad was blank, so I went with a personal icon befitting his status, a wryding blood-moon.  And off I go into the next bath of Space Wolves starting with some 'actual' wolves....more fur!!

Until next round, be well.

Blood Bowl - Troll Zero

 This troll is a little different than my usual, a river troll who plays Blood Bowl.  This was a really fun model to paint up (even though it is old with a static pose without a lot of details).  When these teams are done I might actually miss them...

 I am currently rocking four projects at the moment, and all of them commissions, which is pretty awesome if I say so myself!  This allows me to make notable amounts of progress while sating my hobby add (which is crucial cause I get bored fast).  In the past while this system has worked wonders for me, although the projects don't go as fast as they could.

Longtime readers will know; see you next round!

Flesh Tearers - Raining Blood

 This dreadnought drop pod was sent to me already airbrushed red, so all it needed was some details here and there.  I thought the hazard stripes would be fitting and I think they turned out well.

 In addition, this is a very converted model made from a regular drop pod.  The base section was scratchbiult, with hinges built in, and the doors extended and textured.  To my surprise, this was a fun model to paint up.

Until next round, be well.

High Elves - Playing with Fire

 The Sisters of Avelorn are the next up on the high elf project with their flaming bows.  I opted for orange flames, like d&d magic missiles, partly to reinforce the orange in the rest of the army.  I also didn't go with an osl glow, with the models so close together I didn't think it would look right (unless I put glow almost everywhere).

 Overall, I'm happy with the unit, they do stand out nicely.  Next up; the Everqueen!

Until next round, be well.

Space Wolves - Meanwhile, on Fenris...

 Finished off the second pack of Grey Hunters recently, and I'm warming up to the space puppies.  I am a sucker for minis with lots of details and these guys have them in spades.

 They were all painted like the other pack, with one exception; the black/red triangles are reversed on the shoulder pads.  Hopefully this will help tell the two packs apart.

 After these guys is a Rune Priest and then the first batch is done!

 Until next round....

....be well.

Blood Bowl - First Half of the Green Teem

 The bulk of the Blood Bowl minis consist of Gork and Mork's finest.  Given their large number, I painted them in two batches, so here is the first bunch of green meanies.

 As requested, I went for a traditional colour scheme, almost like that on the box.  I really like the old school GW themes.

 Being a boxed game/starter set there are lots of duplicates (the second batch has exactly the same minis), and a total of six identical linemen!  This was the other reason for doing them in two batches.

 There are a couple additions to the team, four metal orcs who look like they just showed up to hit stuff.  (They are the two in the middle.)

There is still a bunch to do on this set, should be fun!!
Until next round, be well.

Flesh Tearers - Mark the Spot

 Here is the first of a bunch of upcoming posts (no posts means lots of painting!)  This is a simple mini, the teleport homer, and there isn't much to say about it really.

Until next round (which should be soon....), be well.

Experiment of Death - Some Assembly Required

 The first thing to work on was the Wet Nurse's base, and since it didn't come with one I had to make one from scratch.  I stated with a large flat base, added a larger cork chunk, and then a larger cork chunk on top of that.  I then took out some plastic 'sidewalk', broke it to fit the cork, and then glued some of the broken off pieces at odd angles.

 The tiles were glued in multiple rounds, each round gluing on fewer tiles rising higher.  All the tiles will be painting in a checkerboard theme.  I am hoping the bases will give them a reality-bending feel.

 The base is larger than the nurse, allowing the extra room needed for it's women.  There is a story to be told with this mini, and it needs room to tell it!

 Behind the wet nurse, the floor is disintegrating faster (from contact?), I intend to use some kind of water fx to detail this further.

 Only the nurse is glued down, the ladies are waiting until after the putty is used.  There are only a couple of spots that need to be filled....around the big arms and 'horn'.

 The Twilight Knight also got a tiled base (the cork is only one layer thick) and her arm replaced.  Denghra donated her arm (from the Cryx battlebox) which fit almost perfectly.  The cloack had to be trimmed, and a bit of putty is required, but I think it works out.

 I see painting a lot of flesh tones in my future!

Until next round, be well.

Flesh Tearers - The Chapter Master

 I took my time with this marine, since he is the chapter master and all.  More effort was put into the layering and blending for each colour, and he has a lot more fiddly details to work on.

 This model was a lot of fun to work with.  It is a metal version, and has some of the crispiest detail I've seen and all the bits are solid.  I doubt this would have been the case with a Fincast version.

 At the rate I have been going, the second wave of 'Tearers should be done by the end of spring!

 Until next round....

...be well.
