I'm back. . .

Hi all,

I've been hiding under a rock recently but now I'm back, it's been a Golden Demon shaped rock I've been under, at least that's what I like to think lol. . . Anyway, I can show off my attempts from that particular event, unfortunately no hardware as yet, but a super inspiring event as always!

A special shout out has to go to, firstly Natalie Slinn for her friendly advice and generally easy going demeanour, lastly, a big thank you to my good friend Julian Bayliss! Having seen my miniatures for the first time in the flesh, (like everyone else I kept them secret from the rest of the world), he told me he thought they were finalist worthy, to only then turn around and give me his finalist pin! All I can say Julian is a truly class act and good mate!

My entries from the new Eavy Metal class, 40k single miniature and Age Of Sigmar monster categories, please feel free to let me know what you think. . .

Carnivale about to emerge from the woods. . .

Null - inspiration. . .

I thought I would collect some visual inspiration for reference for terrain  ideas, just imagine these against a hostile frozen backdrop and you'll get the right idea.

. .

Carnivale, a painting log. . .

First up, I apply a thinned base coat of white, I'm not too worries about being overly tidy just yet. . .

Second, I've applied an initial wash of Winsor and Newton orange ink that is very thinned down, to all the white areas to help with visual definition. . .

This time, I apply another wash of orange ink, but straight from the bottle, the aim here is to dab the ink on so it pools more and starts to create the extra vibrant colour I'm looking for. . .

Here, I've applied another orange ink layer alongside bloodletter glaze whilst it is still wet. . .

Continuing on, this time I dabbed on more orange ink, followed by carroburg crimson into the recesses. . .

Carnivale expands and more. . .

Carnivale is coming. . .

Terrain is also in the pipeline, not far from being finished too. . .

The Planet Null

The Red Count & The Ice Warrior come forth . . .

Some visual inspiration, it turns out the planet harbours creatures of great magnitude, living below the frozen sea, these would have been attempted to be hunted by various tribes. It is rumoured that the great beasts may be in some part the reason for the null status of the planet, something that draws a great many for good or bad. . .

The start of a new project, a frozen planet beckons but what treasures does it hide. . .

An overview. . .

So much yet to come. . .

We Are Legion. . . The project continues. . .

Project progress

A couple of shots from my 2 current projects:

Project Escalation 40k

Project We Are Legion

2 new projects, a teaser. . .

I've recently started 2 new projects, hopefully with an aim to improve my work in at least a couple of the areas of modelling, painting and gaming, I'll leave you with a taster from both. . .

This might come as a bit of a shock but I somehow haven't disappeared off the fave of the Earth. . . Instead I've had my time taken up lately with my competitive gaming side taking over. . . However, thanks to a kill team challenge arranged for the near future, I've started on a new model to add to my unfinished team, here at least is a small preview. . .
