Miniature Monday: Converted Free Peoples Cannon

After seeing Chris Peach's really cool looking Free Guild/Peoples army I got an itch I needed to scratch. I wanted to convert something similar and looked through my bitz box and found this Thunderbolt Crossbow from my Judicators kit. So I tried on a Mortar and voila. Added some more bitz in there and painted it up with a crew. Didn't do as much on the crew though, but I liked how it turned out.

I posted the first pictures during the last week on Twitter and both Chris and Duncan Rhodes from Warhammer TV among many others really liked it! I was happy as a kid in a candy store.

I must continue to paint my Stormcasts, but I think I must squeese in a model or two for my Free Peoples army. Oh and I have some Tzeentch stuff coming my way as well! OMG not enough time. Anyways, hope you liked this little conversion, I sure liked making it and painting it up.

Miniature Monday: Stormcast Eternals Paladin Protectors

Continuing working on my Stormcasts, and I really worked hard to pretty much paint these guys up during the past week.

I don't know if it show or not but a lot of time and effort is in the armour itself with all the highlights and what not. It's worth it though because the whole miniature is covered armour.

I really like the Protectors both as how the models look as well as in the rules, and I'm glad I'm finished with these guys. The sad thing is that I'm working towards having ten of these, ten Retributors and ten Decimators, so far five Retributors and five Protectors are done. But I'm getting faster painting these guys actually so... I'll get there.

Until then here's the first five. Next up is some gaming actually during the weekend and painting wise I will paint up something different. Probably something for Silver Tower but we will see. Cheers!

Miniature Monday: Lord-Celestant

This dude took more time than he should have. Probably because I decided to go with white on the one side of the cloak and the purple on the other. This took a lot of time, also I just wasn't happy with how he turned out. So I did white on his helmet as well and some other stuff and in the end I was happy with the result.

So one more hero for my stormcasts, I now have two more in the pipeline, the Stardrake and the Knight-Venator, both models takes a lot of time. Have done most on the Stardrake though.

But before I finish them I want to finish my protectors. Have done the base colours so hopefully they won't take to much time. I want to finish them and one of the heroes before this years end, hopefully even more because I'm looking for reinforcements :)

Miniature Monday: Retributors finished!

Painted two more Retributors, one with the Starsoul Mace and one regular guy. So now it's a full unit. Want five more though and three more Starsoul Maces but that will have to wait a little, next up is the Lord-Celestant on foot and five Protectors.

That's it for now.

Miniature Monday: Celestial Hurricanum finally finished!

I remember when I painted the War Altar of Sigmar, and I thought, this model takes forever to paint! Well that was nothing compared to this model, same chassis but damn it has a lot of stuff going on.

Don't get me wrong, I loved painting it. And I love even more the fact I'm now finished with it!

I'm really satisfied with how it turned out, and with the colourscheme it works both with my Stormcast Eternals and my Free Guild. So that's all for now, finally I can paint other stuff again!

Miniature Monday: Celestial Hurricanum

Just a WIP this time around, but at least a late WIP. OMG these models (Hurricanum, Luminark & War Altar) takes forever to paint up. I don't think it really shows, but there's just so many details and stuff going on that needs paint it really takes forever to paint any one of these up.

I have a War Altar, soon a finished Hurricanum, and I still also want an Luminark, despite how f%"#ng! long it takes to paint one up. That is a good kit I tell you that.

Anyhow, here's what I got so far. The actual Hurricanum is soon finished, I need to paint some more planets/space objects, two characters on it and some minor things and then done. I hate how long time it takes to get these things finished, but I also love to paint them up.

Well here's what I got for today. I painted it to match my Stormcast as well as my Free Guild. Hope you like it and I will soon post pics of the final product.

Miniature Monday: Freeguild Guard and Demigryph Knights

So I thought I didn't have enough projects, so I also started to rebase and repaint my old Empire army, now the Freeguild. That is the hardest thing with AoS resisting not to start a new project all the time. Not something I'm good at but at least I'm mostly sticking to the armies I already have.

Anyway, I felt the urge to transform my Empire army into an AoS army and use them together with my Stormcast Eternals. Not that hard if I just rebase them, but I can never do just that... So I did some repainting, mostly touch ups, but also redid the purple to better match with my Stormcasts. Thought about changing the yellow for white as well but that would take to much time so I went with this.

Thats a start at least, much more to do here and I will treat this as a little side project for now. 

Miniature Monday: Excelsior Warpriest

Hey there, just finished this dude, the Excelsior Warpriest and his pet Gryph hound. I actually played Silver Tower the other day and I played with this dude, really great, the gryph hound did me proud many times in the two sessions I played. Really really fun game as well by the way, so will continue painting more Silver Tower stuff among all the other projects I have.

Hope you like and see you next time.

Miniature Monday: Devoted of Sigmar

Just a quick post today. Iv'e decided to rebase most of my Empire army to incorporate into my Forces of Order in AoS. And I'm starting with the Devoted of Sigmar.

So I painted up a new warrior priest, and repainted and rebased the first of my Flagellants.

The pics aren't great but I like how it turned out, and I like how it looks with my Stormcast Eternals. What do you think?

Celestant-Prime Finished

Hi there folks, have been painting like crazy for some time now and all that time I have put into this model... the Celestant-Prime.

I must confess I was actually quite intimidated and excited at the same time before I decided to paint this model up. It's a really beautiful model first of all, with a lot of details everywhere. Also it's that kind of model that don't take kindly to mistakes therefor I painted this one in many different parts before assembling it all together.

It was intimidating also because I knew this was a model I wanted to do the very best of my abilities when it comes to painting.

So I'm very happy to say that this model is probably the best paintjob Iv'e ever done and I have used pretty much all of the knowledge I have into this model. I think it paid of and I'm proud of how it turned out in the end.

Hope you like it too, now I'm off to paint up some more of the grunts for my Stormcast force.
