Well i got a few projects finished recently and getting the mojo built up for starting work on my 2013 Golden Demon entries, still not sure what i will be working on, but a squad entry and a single 40k entry may be taking shape.

As for my current workload, i am painting the new Tau bits for a break from full armies.

At the moment its a Riptide, broadside, sunshark and some pathfinders. Scheme is a desert yellow and off white affair. Hopefully using the riptide as ...

Making progress after finding the painting mojo again after a bout of illness.

Dug out the box of GK that were mocking me, and armed with my W&N #7's i set too.

The completed Stormraven came out well, and was the first to set the colour tone for the force, i prefered a darker colour steel, so i was happy to see that it worked well with the contrasting red n white. The heraldry symbol on the side took a lot of fiddling to mask, but the effect looks good. Skulls and ...

Well it was a great day,

Well after some tips on the forums etc, i have changed my design a bit.

The farseer is now facing the other way round, with the cloak blowing away from the force of the lightning, i also re did the hand more upright and splayed.

The librarian is a totally new figure, using the arms from the FW model, hopefully this will make the figures more dynamic, throwing some force into the attack\defence.

I am also flattening out the stairs as i was never going ...

Well last night was the start of my trip to golden demon 2012.

After a bit of a false start where my base design was wrong for the rules, i have got my design laid out and the plinth and base size defined.



Models laid out (Place holder GK for farseer).
