Painting and Modelling

I've begun painting on my dread. It's moving a long nicely
 
In this pic the dread has been painted in the base colors, and washed once.
 

 
After this I've begun workin on the left hand shoulder pad and "shoulder. Below you can see the result.
 

 

 

 
I've also begun working on the base. It's the first "mayor" basing I've ever undertaken. Mayor to me being anything ...

Letelly, most of my minies stays in WIP state for ages. There is a stimul to finish this one though for it is sort of a commission. Originally this mini was concieved as a lone wolf. Coincidentally, at the time I was reading some 40K book that included detailed description of the Space Wolf 13th company. The idea of fighting for 10000 years in extremely unsanitary conditions sounded so appealing that I decided to try it out, or rather to try to paint it.

 

The end of week 10 sees the end of the assembly and painting of the Chaos warhounds (at last). The army list I'm working too only requires 17 warhounds, but they come in boxes of 10 so it seemed daft not to paint all 20. The thought of three poor lonely unassembled puppies was too much for me to bear.

After listening to comments and advice I have elected to give the dog a bone, and an arm to one lucky pup. It adds to the character and helps to distinguish between figures. I have ...

Here are the first three Uruks from 15-20 I'm going to place in my Cirith Ungol tower. No bright colours - only dark robs and dusty leather. Please don't mind the bases as I'll get rid off them as the tower itself will be finnished.

Nine weeks have come and gone now, and I'm well on the way to completing all of the Chaos warhounds that I will need for my lists. In the list I have 17 warhounds. This week I have painted another 5 which takes my total to 15 (close but no coconut).


I have opted to omit the horns and greenstuff over the gap. I believe that this keeps the chaps looking more like hounds and less like boars.

I have tried to increase the contrast on both the fur and in the hair ...

I've invested quite a bit in Nurgle CSM and it's coming a long smoothly. Here's what I've done so far.
The Plague Marines are only about half done. I think they're ok to game with so I'll paint the entire army to this standard before completing them. I figured I rather have one army paintad with half finished minature than half the army unpainted
 

 
 
The Rhino is to be equipped with a Havoc Launcer. It's mostly done, the metal needs some ...

Haven't been updating this blog for a while. I am painting but much slower nowadays. Other things are piling up. As somebody mentioned it " I was surprises to find out that real life sucks". There are three items in a various state of disarray, including a squad of blood angel terminators, nurgle blightdrone and new commission of a lone wolf. I will post terminators and the lone wolf as soon as manage to take pictures and for this I actually have to come home early for once.
Meanwhile, In ...

 Completed the unit of skeletons this week. Well I say completed, I need to add a emblem and some words to the standard bearer. No idea what to do yet, so I thought I would leave it on the shelf and see what comes to me.
 

 
 


Quite fun to make and paint and has given me the chance to raid my bits box, which is getting a bit packed. For my own records when I come back to paint more skeletons the paint recipe is Scorched brown ...

So this is the eldar autarch im working on at the moment some feedback would be good as I seem to have plateued at the moment.
