More ungreenskinz!

Even though I had a pretty long break from the blog/plog I did paint some miniatures in this time. And mostly Orcs and Gobbos who have had a brand new Army Book wich I have of course as well as some more lovely miniatures.

When they where released I bought the book, the magic cards, a box of Savage Orcs and a Arachnarok spider. All in all it was a great release, the hardcover books looks really nice and from what I can tell, and what I'm been hearing from others it's seems like good balanced book. Which also can be competitive but not over the top like some of the older 7th ed books.

I also like the miniatures, especially the spider and the savage orcs which looks great with all the tattoos and war paint I intend to paint on my army. But before I show you some of them I want to post some pics of the other mainly gobbo stuff I've been painting.



 

First up is the finished unit of twenty Night goblin archers, I'm quite happy with how it turned out and I think the movement tray makes a good job showing the forest theme. Next up is a Night goblin big boss and a shaman from the Skullpass box. There's also a picture of the first two spider riders, where I didn't use Army Painter's Dark Quickshade but instead just a coat or two of Devlan Mud. The result is pretty much the same and really an alternative for those who don't like dip and quickshade. Tell me want you think.

Warriors of Chaos - Champion

I may have mentioned that I also in the progress of making a Warriors of Chaos army. I have alwaays thought of making it with a strong Nurgle theme, but when I looked for some nice pictures on the net I found a lot of Nurgle but not much Tzeentch. The same thing pretty much from the rulebook.

So I thought whatta heck, I'm doing Tzeentch. The first test mini i did was with a chaimail base witch blue and purple washes, pretty much how they painted Chaos Warriors in the old 6th ed. book. This didn't look that well though, may have a picture somewhere to show you but anyway. This is how it turned out in the end.

Will be showing you more Warriors in the future aswell as my converted Warshrine. Also have some Ungreenskins so stay tuned.

Testing out blogging from the phone

Haven't been posting for quite a while now. I hope that will change in the future. I have been painting miniatures though, just need too take some pictures and I will have plenty too show you. Warriors of chaos, space marines and orcs & goblins!! You may have noticed the change of looks on the blog. That's because the old templates pictures was missing. So went back to a standard one and that's the reason why some things may look a little bit odd.

Warriors of Chaos

It's been one month since I updated the blog! I'm sorry for this, but I have had a period when I haven't been painting or been much into warhammer. But that has changed now luckily. I think probably everyone have their periods when their don't want to paint, play or read about warhammer sometimes for long and sometimes for shorter periods of time.

So what changed my mind, changed is the keyword here. I got into paint my Warriors of Chaos, and I didn't went into the path of grandpa Nurgle, I decided to go for the Changer of Ways, Tzeentch. I haven't seen much painted warriors in Tzeentch theme, not in WD or the Armybook so I went hey I try something on my own.

My first draft I wasn't very pleased with, I painted it chainmail with a wash of Leviathan Purple with a little mixed in Mordian Blue. It looked okey, but not Tzeentchy enough. So I went with a Dark blue theme, with strong light blue highlights and I liked this a lot more and looked more "Tzeentchy" as well as a more sinister look to them. So far I have painted three Warriors, they take some time, luckily they are pricey in point costs so I don't have to grow tired on painting them before the regiment is done.

I could've posted some pictures of them but I didn't because I can't get the right light for them with my current lamp, but I have a new lamp which I hopefully will find tomorrow (I have totally lost it somewhere in my apartment) so then I will show you some pictures.

News: Stormraven pictures leaked

I found this on Beasts of War, pictures of the the Storm Raven for the Blood Angels. We are not sure if this is the real deal but I think it is. The scenery looks like the ones GW uses as well as the the other Blood Angels on the picture. So what do you think? I don't know, it pretty much looked like I imagined it but if it looks good? Nah, to fat in the front in comparison to the tail I think, but I guess its because it can transport a dreadnought back there. Anyway, tell me what you guys think.

Angels of Redemption, painting some 40k stuff again

As always nowdays, I want to apologise for the poor updating. I have recently not been painting much. It's one of those periods when I don't really feel like it and I do other stuff like playing computer and video games. Also I'm a little fed up with the armies I have like I always get after a while and is for the moment not sure what I want to paint.

But I actually think it will be a little more 40k stuff. Continue with the Guardians of the Covenant and maybe paint some of my tyranids from the Space Hulk box. I also tried out to paint another unforgiven chapter, the Angels of Redemption. They are certainly not the fastest and easiest to paint up but they colour scheme looks damn nice in my opinion.

If I continue to paint these guys up it will just be a little force that will accompany my Guardians. Maybe a 1-2 TAC squads, a dreadnought, a rhino and something else.

Down below you can see my first unfinished AoR spacemarine, need some work with the base, shoulder markings and some minor tweaks here and there. The picture are not good at all, thats becouse I don't have any good light in the room where I take the pictures and It's already dark outside here in Sweden so can't use the daylight either. Will try too take some better pictures when he is finished. In the meantime tell me what you think.

Mantic Zombies painted

Well, the first three zombies are done. Actually they have been done for a couple of days just haven't had the time to take pictures of them. But now there are! The models was easy enough to paint, and I could probably painted them faster than I did but the extra highlights and blood just add that much more flavour to the models. Anyway, will paint the converted zombie ghouls next and here's some pictures of the painted Zombies.
