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.

Minecraft

First of all sorry for the poor updating of the blog lately, hasn't painted much the week after I came home. Why do you ask? Well there's a couple of of things, but one thing that have taken up a lot of my time lately is a game called Minecraft. My brother showed me the trailer which I will post here and sure the graphics look like crap but god it's addictive and very fun. Unfortunately that leaves not much time for painting at the moment, but one of the Zombies should be done in the next days and then I will post some pictures of it here of course.

Also the new White Dwarf arrived at my house today, haven't read it much yet but there is a lot of stuff for you Dark Eldar fans out there. You sure deserve a updated codex and some new models, and I really think they are gorgeous. Well more about that in the next posts, look at the trailer now and decide if you think the game seems to be worth my time.

News: Ultramarines Second Movie Trailer

Okey I'm back from my holiday going from 30 °C on Gran Canaria to 7-4 °C back home in Sweden :( Anyway it was warm and fun there but it's nice to be home again despite the fact that it's so god damn cold here right now. As you may understand I haven't had any time to do anything Warhammer or Kings of War related yet, but I'm gonna start painting some zombies and some of the converted ghouls asap. In the meantime you can look at the new trailer of the animated Ultramarines movie.

I'm afraid it looks just as awful as the first one though, the voice acting seems to be all right but the animation just looks really old. I mean the old Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within looks a hell lot better and that movie came out nine years ago! Sure they probably don't have a huge budget (especially when compared to the FF movies) but I really think a Wh40k movie deserves better. Well, look for yourselves if you haven't seen it below.
