    A few recent things!

    It’s been a little while since I shared some of my recent work to the blog here, so here’s a little bit of an update on what’s been keeping me busy through the latter half of November and this first half of December!

    First up is this Kroot hero from the awesome Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress game. This is an ongoing job where I’m painting the models from the set alongside my other commissions. I had a lot of fun painting this guy – I’ve always loved the Kroot anyway and this model is super characterful!

    This is a miniature I’ve had my eye on for a while for my beloved Dark Angels. It’s the finecast version of the banner bearer that dates back to the mid to late 90s I think, possibly. However old it is, the sculpt really holds up nicely with an absolutely gorgeous banner that was a joy to paint. I placed him upon a piece of tall slate to help him stand out, especially considering he’s competing for attention against his Primaris bretheren now!! I had fun painting the chainsword – they definitely work better if you give them hazard stripes! 😀

    Next up, I painted this little lot here for the Gloomspite Gitz, two Mangler Squigs (one as a Loonboss), a Dankhold Troggoth and no less than six Rockgut Troggoths! I’ve painted the Troggoths before but this is my first time with the new plastic Mangler Squig kit (my previous one being the Finecast one from about 7/8 years ago!) and it was great fun. The squigs these days seem a lot more tadpole shaped rather than space hopper though, I think I prefer the “Space Hopper with Teeth” designs.

  • Chaos Spawn painted for commission!

    Chaos Spawn painted for commission!

    This month I was commissioned to paint up a couple of Chaos Spawn for a Tzeentch army. I’d never painted any of these before so I thought it would be a fun project!

    Check out the pics:

    I did something rare, I used a white undercoat where I usually use grey or black. I wanted the blue to be really bright and vivid. I used Thousand Sons Blue and Ahriman Blue, with Drucchi Violet as a shade and final highlights with Temple Guard Blue.

    For some of the extremities I mixed purple into the blue to blend it out and get some colour variety, then for the claws and bone areas I painted those black with highlights of Kabalite Green, Moot Green and a final highlight of Averland Sunset.

    For the eyes I applied a cover of ‘ardcoat to give them a really eery gross appearance!

    These guys were really fun to paint, although I’d love to see a new Chaos Spawn kit since this one is definitely starting to show its age!

    The lovely Leakycheese asked me if I would be able to paint up some Primaris Space Marines in his scheme. I wasn’t about to say no 🙂
