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!

Like the title says, I'm almost done with this guy. Just have to do the horns, forearms and the vine on the scythe really. The horns will be bone, with all the swirly runes being teal-white like on the shield. I think it'll look groovy. The runes will take forever though.

I actually paint quite slowly :-) After painting a few units of Wood Elves in the same colors, with a bit of help from Foundation paints, P3's and mixing pots full of ready to go hilights, it's pretty easy to crank up the speed a bit higher than on usual figures. This guy's probably I'm guessing 5 hours in, after priming. The conversion took a while, since his metal tree stump was pinned to a resin scenic base and then I piled on a ton of greenstuff to make it all work together. I also had to sculpt wood grain onto the metal part of the tree, which had almost no texture compared to the resin tree stumps. I think the shield is that really makes this guy work in the end.
