OOP is the new black

One oldschool powerfist sergeant I bought on the cheap on the Internet. Good stuff. Painted in one evening.

Greenskinstuffing

Using the Citadel sculpting tool and some water I was able to get this AoBR warboss arm in a much more gangsta-like pose. Happy with the results! Now to let it cure over night...

PS. Why do I sculpt on an Ork? They are my secret passion... ;)

All her children

So the basecoats are done on the regular termagaunts. I'll sleep some on the highlighting; right now I'm thinking drybrushing is the way to go.

Tyranid speedpainting training

Back again on my good pal's nids. This time it's an effort to get lots of grey plastic up to tabletop level. A good chance for me to practice speed and "good enough".

The method is currently:
Prime white
Wash in sepia
Drybrush bone
Basecoat shields
Basecoat claws and hoofs
Highlight
Paint bases (maybe)

I'm down to about 8 minutes total per termagaunt at the moment, but those are probably the least detailed models...

Fun!

Army shot January 2013

Oh my, so much plastic. It's easy to see that by focusing on getting some stuff at least basecoated blue, the whole army would look a lot better.

The Great Challenge

I really have to gather some steam for this lot. I just recovered from painting the Librarian in terminator army... wonderful sculpts, and the finecast is actually looking good.

I hate white

I wish there was some kind of quick secret to learning to paint white, but I have this grim feeling it's just hours and hours of practise. Case in point: my Relic Contemptor, which is getting its basecoats. I'm thinking it will look a lot better with a wash and some more layering.
