Some painting from today. Not quite done, but a good basic work.

Now THERE'S some cunning ladz!

Well, this ist not GW. I present:

My very first Malifaux minis, by Wyrd Games.

Bayou Gremlins - Mah Tucket and Gang.

Way flimsier, definitely more complicates than the GW stuff.

Great stuff, really.

Yesterday was a good hobby day.

Amazing what you can do with some used wooden coffee stirrers, skewers, glue and paint. On an area with 30 mm diameter.

Pipe Organ playing hymns to the Emperor and launching missiles at the heretics.

Here's the Imperium of Mankind for you.

Today I learned that my New Year New Army contest entry at 'my' F.L.WH.S. was voted #1. The Canoness, the Sisters,...

...the Seraphim,...

...the Repentiae and Arco-Flagellants,...

... the Penitent Engine,...

... and the Rhino I've shown before. And finally:

BEHOLD THE CUP OF VICTORY! EMPEROR BE PRAISED!

This is what you can do with a couple of magnets and a kit with multiple build options.

That was quite a bit of work. Basically just 4 colors: red, brass, bone, black

But I think I nailed it decently.

Well, this is a special occasion.

With these, my Pile of Shame is no more.

Yes - I have no unbuilt model.

All are painted parade ready and based.

Exterminatus may arrive any second now... or GW crashing and burning.

So I got to the old Khorne Berserkers. And since I painted red and brass a lot in the last months, I went for an alternate paintjob. 

So, from left to right, you see the approach:

1. Priming/Grounding: Citadel Base Corax White

2. Inking recesses. Vallejo Game Color Red Wash (sadly comes out rather pink than red)

3. Secondary Base: Citadel Contrast Leviadon Blue (as almost always, I keeled the open pot over. Well, let's call that a sacrifice to the paint god.)

4. Details. Metal parts: Vallejo Game Color Dark Gunmetal, inked with Vallejo Game Color Black Wash.

Joints, hoses: Citadel Base Mechanicus Standard Grey, inked with Vallejo Game Color Black Wash. Read More »

GW WH40k Boarding Patrol Scenery, two flavours: Nurgle (rot) and Khorne (blood)

Well, she got some backup dancers...

So... some more WH40K content. This is Combat Patrol: Orks.

One of the hardest painting projects so far. Because this box SUCKS. 25 miniatures. 24 of it Monopose. 

I was critical of the new Boys kit before. It turned out to be even worse.

No way to build a squad according to the rulebooks. Had to dive into my bitsbox for some ACCEPTABLE kitbashing. Then I realized: They are not even the SAME SCALE. 

These are not minis for the game. They are glorified placeholders. Less for more cash. 

Which equals to: no fun painting and thinking about how to field them.

Wie versprochen: Paradebereit.
