Well i've always been a big fan of Games Workshop and i started collecting their minis when i was around 11-12 years old but never really enjoyed painting them. Then after a short while i stopped collecting and went off to university and studied, but found i had more and more time as i progressed through education. In my final years of my PhD i started to pick up painting again and i've been doing it ever since, on and off. I love learning new techniques and having cool models to use. My one policy is i refuse to play with any unpainted models, hence why i play so little and paint so much now.

Khador 02

Well here is an update on my painting. I wanted to do something with a bit more colour than my Cryx, so i decided to work on my Khador models. After i finished doing the red highlights i wanted to do something with the large areas to make the model seem a bit more interesting so i added some freehand lettering on the shoulder areas. I particularly like the contrast of colours between the main colours and the base. So my juggernaut is done but my photography skills still suck so much, I also painted Sorscha but i think i can do better with the face. The photos dont do her any justice i need to figure out some how to take brighter pics. But both models were fun to paint. Not too many more to finish all my warmachine models but my motivation for my 40k has come back and i will be working on them soon....

Ok so i've been busy again painting in my free time after a nice brisk jog in the heat last couple days. Im really happy with the way i've painted the arms they match up well with the model. I looked at the model and i wanted some other colours to break up the model a little, so i painted some of the corrugated piping on the model in a blue sort of energy feel to them. I haven't done any OSL on the model yet since im still trying to decide whether i like it or not on these models. I want to add some rust effects to the model but im not sure if i will yet. The runes on the main armour plate were quite fun to paint but they didnt show up well on the model. I have ordered a light tent with 2 lamps so i should be able to take some decent photos once that comes in and i will post them. Anyway comments and criticisms are very welcome. :D...

Cryx Part 14

Another update, such a hot day but i managed to get some painting done, finished the nmm on the back vents and torso, did the bulk of the dark armour plates above the head and on the shoulders, next step is a very time consuming part where lots of gold nmm all over the armour and then move onto the arms. Anyway enjoy and sorry about the poor picture quality, poor lighting in my room.

Cryx Part 13

Ok so i've been busy painting more today, finishing the other leg and started work on part of the torso, i need to do some more gold nmm on the back and front of the torso and then i'll start work on the arms. So far so good, im happy with the result thus far but im trying so much not to rush or do the lazy way of blending/painting. I'd also like to try painting some faded runes into the larger armour plates of this little beastie but im not sure whether to use the colours im already using or a different colour completely. Comments and ideas are very welcome. Anyway enough of my waffle here are some more update pics....

A quick update i've done one leg of the slayer and the metal hydraulics under the torso area of the slayer, sorry i paint so slowly but i hope i can do more soon. Its been so hot here the paint is drying too quickly too and its not too comfy to sit here for so long in this weather. oh well im hoping for a freak snow storm or something. Anyway enjoy the update.
