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. . .

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 . . .

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

An overview. . .

So much yet to come. . .

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. . .

A terrain theme is emerging

Sorry I've been away for a while, now I'm back with a vengeance I hope! I wanted to share with you a project I started a while back to create some new scratch built terrain, mainly aimed at 40k use. This is an early look at the biggest thing I've created so far, I've just started to work on painting it with my airbrush, hopefully aiming for something along the lines of my last lot of terrain, I'll be back with more WIP photos in the near future hopefully. . .

Robots

In the recent quiet period, apart from purchasing the aforementioned airbrush, I've mad some progress on my robot warband, both my lady robot assinatrix and the big guy have seen some further modelling work done to them, also a third mystery robot is underway too. . .

And yes that is rather large gun on his back, sourced with help from the guys over at The New Realms Of Chaos (which is well worth a look by the way, check my blog list). . .

Not far now. . .

Some more progress has been made on the wolf lord. . .

A bit more progress. . .

I've made a bit more progress with the second wolf lord now, this time I thought I'd show some more angles, I promise to take some better photos when I get my lighting sorted. . .

Second Wolf Lord WIP

This is the second of my wolf lord conversions now underway with painting, only a couple more of these guys to go then some other interesting characters to come. . .

A little announcement. . .

I would just like to announce that I'm somewhat honoured to have been invited as a contributor to the great blog at: The New Realms Of Chaos, joining the likes of Julian Bayliss and Legatho and so will hopefully see some of my fantasy chaos and the like models appearing on here in the near future. . .
You can find the blog at: http://thenewrealmsofchaos.blogspot.co.uk and also there is a Facebook page that can be found by searching for The New Realms Of Chaos. . .

Small details. . .

Think I've been spending too much time talking to Julian Bayliss and looking at John Blanche's illustrations. . .

A robot companion. . .

The second member of my robot war band is now underway. . .

More small progress on the robot. . .

Robot WIP

Small changes coming together. . .
