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!

Another Alter Kindred update

Used my wet pallete for the first time on the runes. I mix up a lot of the blue/teal color all the time, and now I have a reasonably large amount of all the intermediate hilights and stuff. Should last a while, since it's usually an accent color and not used for large areas. And this way I don't have to make a bunch of mixing pots :-D

Seeing the pics, I should paint the eyes of the hawk helm glowing blue/white, to match the runes. The forearms will likely match the boot leather, and the straps on his thigh will be Snakebite brown. If I get an hour or two tomorrow, he'll probably be finished.

I sense an entry for something here. Am I wrong? It looks very good. Although... the blue/white on horns may be a tad too bright. May be you can balance it by highlighting armor more. On the other hand it goes very well with the shield. Great mini overall

I don't really plan on entering this guy in any contests, his main purpose will be to kick ass and take names in my army :-) I might toss him in the Golden Toadstool contest, like I've been doing lately with whatever random figs I finish that month.

I'm not particularly fond of the miniature, but you still made me take notice- well done. :) I particularly like your greens in all the various incarnations, and the helmet bronze. The blue swirlies on the horns look quite eye catching as well. Nice work!
