Best Christmas present ever!

I've been painting since about 1998, traditionally a lot of 40k stuff but lately I've been doing a lot of work with Fantasy and the odd little side project here and there. I don't game as much as I'd like, and I don't paint as much as I'd like either... but I make up for this by purchasing way more models than I ought to!

I make an effort to try new things once in a while, and every once in a while I'll actually finish something. My current project is the Warriors of Chaos, it's an attempt at doing a 2,000pt army in under 6 weeks for the Fracas tournament here in Edmonton. A $100 ticket should give me motivation to get my army done on time, I would love some tournament trophies to add to my painting awards :-) After that, who knows what I'll be up to!

Some Updated CMON Entries
(0) comments,   (0) trackbacks

Hey everyone, just thought I'd let you know that I posted some updated shots of some models from last year. I got to re-shoot a few photos to submit them for the CMON Annual 2008, and figured this was a good opportunity to get some updated shots uploaded.

The Warrior Priest and Master of the Fleet had some extra work done to them last year before I entered them in GD Canada. I never got around to posting pics of the updated models until now. I also included some bigger and better shots of Nazgrub, including one more angle than I had posted before. I hope you guys like the bigger shots, you can click any of the following pics to go to their voting pages on Coolmini....

Slight exaggeration, but the influence on the color scheme is undeniable :-) I made him with the Empire Wizards kit, and he's painted in generic colors to match Shiekh Yadosh and so that I can justify him knowing different spell lores from one game to another. My favorite thing about the model? The fact that I painted him in under 3 hours! 2:53 to be precise, I got bored and timed myself with my iPhone stopwatch.

Dogs of War!
(0) comments,   (0) trackbacks

It's been too long since I updated the blog (again). I did a bunch of work on the Chaos army, getting a good chunk of the units finished prior to the tournament in February. I'll be posting pics later on, if you guys saw my project log on Warseer then there's not much new just yet.

Anyway a good chunk of our gaming club is from Prince George, and we're driving down there for a tourney this coming weekend. I'm revamping my Dogs of War for the event, and adding some old/new characters and Duelists. First up is my Paymaster, converted from Shiekh Yadosh. He's not quite done yet, the blue isn't hilighted, the base isn't finished, and I need to paint the peacock feathers last. He's gonna be sweet! I love the sculpt, he's just so jolly I can't help but laugh when I look at him. He'll be finished right away, along with the rest of the Venators I was painting earlier (the heavy cav)....

A quick shot of the WIP Chosen unit, I think the color scheme will definitely pan out nicely. I'll start working on the rest of the unit plus the Knights, and hopefully I'll have the big fat batch of models all finished in assembly-line fashion within a week. Gotta start ramping up the speed extremely quickly here or I won't finish on time.

Nothing fancy, but they're done I think. I might go back and blend the skin a bit if I have time at the end of the project, but the priority is getting the next 54 models finished :-)
