I'm (maybe) Back!

So I realised the other day that it's been nearly six months since I made a post on this blog. Quite a dry patch after the fairly regular posts I was managing at the start (although that was a pretty big backlog I had prepared). The Dark Eldar project was taking most of my hobby time, and considering I didn't want to keep working on them I wasn't devoting much time to the hobby, but it's finally done with, so I thought I would give you an update on what else I was doing.

The Dark Eldar Project - Complete!

It's finally over...

So I agreed to fix up and paint this army at least 12 months ago now, and it's been an interesting experience. I would have to say that commission work is not something I could do very often (and certainly not to a time schedule).

The Skorne Project - Part 3

Heres the third (and last for a while) Skorne update.

All lined up and ready to go

It took me a couple days of painting, but the entire Skorne force is now painted and ready to be based. I haven't come up with a specific basing idea yet, but it will most likely be a simple sand and flock method.

Warlock Master Tormentor Morghoul

Lots of Gold

The Cyclops Savage Pair

The mighty Titan Gladiator

The Battle Box force

Warlock Dominar Rasheth

Those poor overworked baby titans

The Skorne Project - Part 2

Here they are!

First models of the Skorne unit done

I went with a really simple method to paint these guys. At the moment I'm working on speed rather than technique, once I'm quicker I can work on more advanced methods.

These guys were done with Mechrite Red, Shining Gold, Mithril Silver, Tallarn Flesh, and Khemri Brown. Then we do a complete wash with Nuln Oil, Deneb Stone for the Front Arc on the base.

A pretty basic paint job, but it's fine for a tabletop quality, and it's getting very quick to do.

Also got the last few models built, that is the metal battle box Warbeasts and Dominar Rasheth.

The big fella

These guys, are horrible to put together, and I know they will fall apart down the line =(

The Cygnar Battle Box - Building

Let's get into the building stage of our Cygnar Battle Box.

The happy little baggies.

Warmachine Two Player Battle Box - Building Menoth


Moving right along we get into the second half of our Warmachine Two Player Battle Box, the Protectorate of Menoth.



Well these guys all get individual bags, poor Khador.

The Dark Eldar Project - Part 5

The unbuilt pile is growing smaller and smaller...

 

And the unpainted pile gets bigger and bigger...

 

Anyway heres two of the new Ravager models all built and ready. I actually made a pretty big mistake, attaching the wrong piece to the center part. I used the Raiders piece rather than the Ravagers (which is required to attach the side mounted weapons). After some hacking and regluing I managed to get them fixed up.

 

I'm still kicking my self for building both at the same time, and subsequently making the same mistake on both models.

 

Pew pew pew zaaap.
