Appendicitis!

-
This blog is rapidly becoming a health blog rather than a painting blog! I was meant to be going to Warhammer Fest with a mate yesterday but instead I spent my day recovering from an appendecectomy (which is apparently the correct English spelling).
But every cloud has a silver lining, although I feel like shit at the moment it means I've got at least two weeks off work to paint! Shouldn't think I'll get much done until I can sit up comfortably, which may be a few days.
Anywho, if they don't let me out today I'm kicking off.

Baneblade! Plus Gaming and Painting Progress

Hello one and all. Long time no post again, but I intend to update much now often now given the changes that have occurred in my gaming life, namely that I'm actually gaming! I've recently gone from being a hobby painter to playing games, and it's amazing what a difference it's made to my overall painting work ethic. I finally went to a local gaming club and dipped a toe in with Warcry, which I found really fun. So I picked up the Corvus Cabal warband, although it was close between them and the Splintered Fang. I painted the Corvus Cabal in a week! The fastest I've ever painted a group of nine miniatures to a decent standard. I gave them the name the Birds of Paradise, giving them a brighter colour scheme than the GW standard. I gave all of the gang members names based on the taxonomic names of various birds of paradise, which fits thematically as they're related to the Corvus family of the crows and ravens etc. The bird that accompanies the gang is the Jav...

Hi all, unfortunately not finished anything this week and I've been full of flu the last few days. I'm going to start updating on Sundays even if I've done bugger all just to get into the habit really. I did make a start on this barbarian hero/king earlier in the week. He's an awesome figure and I'm looking forward to doing more on him. I've got no idea who the manufacturer is, I can't find anything like it on the internet and the scale is quite large, more 32mm than 28mm I'd say. Hopefully I'll pull my finger out and finish him next week! Cheers!

Long time no post!

Since I last posted I've got married, been on my honeymoon and Christmas has come and gone. I definitely need to get my arse in gear and update more often. This is going to be an image heavy post, I'm just going to dump all the best bits that I've done since October. I've been quite productive and recently seen my skills and speed increase quite a lot I think, mostly thanks to trying out new techniques. So, going chronologically I'll start with some Fallout bits. Tribals first, then Brotherhood of Steel: Next I did Gor Half-Horn for Necromunda. I'm really pleased with how he turned out, i tried to pull out all the stops on him: Then most recently I fancied a foray into fantasy. First up I did a Stormcast Eternal with a Space Wolf head swap. I'm really not a fan of Stormcasts with helmets, I think it takes away their personalit. I then painted Zuun Akos from Hasslefree Miniatures. He's an awesome sculpt so I fancied trying some...
