Miniature Painting Service and Hobby Blog
Next up are a pair of Mercenaries that work for the Protectorate forces; Captain Dunax and Eiryss:
Captain Dunax can remove terrain which os great for slow factions lacking pathfinder like Menoth haha... And Eiryss does Eiryss things in killing mages!
Menoth finally returns to the battlefields of western Immoren!
I decided to pick up the new Covenant of the flame army as my first full mk4 force since returning to the game with Orgoth... everything else has been 3d print armies.
First up is the extreme variant sculpt of Feora:
Ive decided to go with a black templars theme for the force so the warcasters will be in the gold armour of their chapter master... maybe some of the jacks too hehe
Time for the leaders of my merry little band with this selection of superb samurai models:
Something new today, a couple of the club guys wanted to give Test of honour a go!
I had a demo using a mates stuff and its superb so quickly ordered a starter set, rulebook and some extra Ashigaru to make up the handgunner and archer units.
I painted all nine Ashigaru and the Ashigaru Sergeant together as they have identical uniforms, leaving just the Samurai to go as they are a bit more individualistic:
Followers like these Ashigaru soldiers can either be fielded as individuals or as a group of three doing more damage and having greater resilience in battle.
Finishing up the piggies with the other new Warlork, Lord Azazello!
Another riot quest model that survived thr cull and ported over into the main mk4 game hehe.
I had a hand testing him with Sherwin, hes very different from the other casters with not having the usual spd buff and being quite brigand centric... fun to play but more techy than the others.
Proper long crappy week with very little spare time so ive only had a chance to paint up the new Sturm & Drang model!
Big fan of the update, rescaled to fit on a 50mm base to match the Chainbelchers hehe.
Back on the pig train after getting my Starcraft stuff out the way with two units of Slaughterhousers:
The elite melee infantry of the Thornfall Alliance, veteran readers will remember many units of these gracing the blog 12/14 years ago and now they are back with more poses and in glorious home print resin!
Next up are the Wave 2 release of the Ravagers, light artillery beasties for the swarm!
I have a game lined up for Wednesday against my friends Terrans so im glad to be fully painted ahead of it.
Bit of a cop out today hehe, painted all the various tokens and markers that come on the Zerg sprues; Burrowed status and Creep markers ftw!
Rounding out my current starcraft collection is the Zerg Queen:
Having now painted my armies and played a game with them i can order the next wave guilt free haha!
Twas a slog at the end but the Zergling swarm is finally done!
On to the Queen and some tokens to round it all out. We had a fatal 3-way during the week with me using Zerg and two of the guys with Terrans and Protoss, was a great fun and much carnage was caused haha.
Next up are the trio of Roaches!
Im tackling the big blob of 18 zerglings next so it might take a day or so.
Next up is Kerrigan the Queen of Blades, and the Nydas Worm:
Both quite enjoyable to paint up, and next will be the Roaches!
The iconic big lads from the Zerg swarms are here!
Pleased with how they have turned out and looking forward to a big multiplayer game on Wednesday at the club!
I wasn't entirely happy with how dark the raptors turned out so I picked up some cygor brown and gave it a go on the Roachlings:
Much better, next up will be the hydralisks!
After what seems an age ive finally built and based all my zerg... in addition to being swamped with work!
I think they are too dark with cygor brown so im tempted to pick up some snakebite leather to use on the rest of the army.
Rounding out my Terran forces is a Goliath:
This probably took longer to build than to paint hehe, im glad they are all done so i can get cracking to the Zerg to face them!
Completed the Medics today!
Not entirely happy how they came put but they will do for now, on to the Goliath and finishing my Terran army!
A pair of Marauders completed today:
I never played Starcraft 2 so don't really have an affinity for these... firebats are more my jam haha!
I painted up the other six marines from the founders half as Raynor's Raiders, black armour and a variety of weapons to make them really stand out from the regular marines:
Next up will be the big man himself Jim Raynor and Point Defence Drone.
Next up on the paint queue is my Starcraft Terran and Zerg armies!
Startting with the humans ive assembled and undercoated the founders half and the Goliath, with this marine squad as a tester:
Im on this project now till its all done with only Thornfall interruptions hehe.
After a couple of weeks off painting with long works and busy times im back on it again with another addition to my Sythopian Wars / Voidsiege collection:
A walking artillery piece and support platform, ready to lay the smack down on those pesky Asylumist hordes!
Back up to date with the Thornfall releases, here's Agata, Queen of Carnage and a pair of Farrow Sappers!
Agata was from the Company of Iron release and the Sappers are riot quest characters:
Back from hols and on the case again! I'd started these the day before going having got the armour sorted but finished them off this morning after a couple of days of unpacking and washing!
A bit of a pain to build n paint but enjoyable enough, ive based them to match the Crucible Guard as I don't really see Connie working for pigs or cephalyx hehe.
Ive been sitting on this model painted since February when Sherwin gave me an early copy for my birthday but out of respect for SFG ive waited till she was released to post it:
Having seen a few of the Dr Spork tanks in battle reports I decided I had to get one for my chaos boys:
A superb print and a great sculpt to work from!
Got my Meat Thresher ordered, sorted and painted whoop!
Proper trip down memory lane painting another one of these haha!
I picked up the new Mind Thief to come with Constance & Gallant for some cheeky free postage haha:
Looking forward to giving it a run out soon!
Got the last bits for the army completed tonight! Thats three 1500pts forces done on two months now hehe:
Not masses of progress today, work failed me hard!
Destroyers and another unit of these to go!
Another round of 'crons added to the army with some Destroyers and more Warriors:
More to follow soon!
This last week as either been sweating my arse off with work or getting an entire 2nd Ed style Necron army ready for painting! And now its the weekend I can finally get cracking with some brush time:
First squad of warriors painted up to test the scheme, now on with the rest!
Finished off my HQ choices with this Chaos Lord and Chaos Sorcerer!
Waiting on a cheeky 3d print Landraider to arrive and I think they are good to go!
When sourcing the models for this chaos army i knew i wanted to include a fair chunk of Rogue Trader era stuff as I never had any of the chaos from this far back.
The crown jewels of the force are a full space of terminators:
The Chaos Lord and Sorcerer are next on the paint station!
Some spare time was had this evening so this next squad of Chaos boys was painted up:
With just a squad of terminators and a couple of characters to round out the 1500pts it will hopefully be not too long until its completed!
Got home from work at a decent time so smashed out this chaos marines squad this evening:
Same as before a mix of prints and original metals!
