Koldun Lord

2011-12-14T21:30:00.001+01:00

Was so enthusiastic after the finished Greylord Escort that I continued on with the Koldun Lord. The Inside of the robe came good after several color changes. First I painted it in red. Then washed it with dark brown. But I didn't liked the result. So I got over with a dense blue wash. Then the i build up the red. And its perfect. for me ;)

Maybe you have another opinion. than let me know in the comments.

Doom Reaver Greylord Escort

2011-12-12T11:10:00.001+01:00

After a lot of Skaven I need a break of them. The best way to do this is with a single Character model. This was a Warcmachine Khador Greylord Escort. Prepared, assembled and painted it over two days. And now he is ready to be shown. The Base is very nicely and highly detailed. It's from Fantascape from the "Thin Ice" collection. They are really cheap for this quality. No blistering in the resin base.
Like he came out. The bluegrey tones combined with the contrasting red and the greenish staff. Also like to paint white/blueish eyes on casting miniature. Gave him different greyness for fur and hair. So it does not get to monotone, but don't over do it. Less is often more. ;)

Skaven Clanrats: first 5 finished

2011-11-13T19:54:00.000+01:00

I finished the first five test clanrats.The schema fits very good to me. Cloths are in red and bone white. Shaded with brown washes. Skin are dark skin tones with flesh wash (red&brown). Maybe the shields get markings after all 20 are ready. Was a lot of fun to paint. The next five are in work...

Comparison: Barbarian - Snow Trolls

2011-11-10T10:15:00.000+01:00

Here you can see the based Barbarian compared with the Snow Trolls and a Space Marine. The Barbarian and snow Trolls are size 15mm from Copplestone Miniature.

Ork Nobz from Black Reach

2011-11-01T19:38:00.001+01:00

The 40k Orks gets supported by 5 new Nobz. They are form the 40k 5.Ed Starter-box Assault on Black Reach. Keep them almost black like Goff Clan schema. Did no Karo pattern. This is a mess to paint. If its not accurate it looks not nice. Painted them in tabletop standard or a little better than that. Should be for gaming only.

Snow Trolls

2011-10-24T23:14:00.000+02:00

Lastly Copplestone Castings released some new 15mm fantasy miniature. I must order them all immediately. :) The Snow Troll were the first to be painted. As Snow Trolls I gave them a cold, icy touch with blue tones.
But see if you like them.

Dont let you get by Snow Trolls! Winter is coming.

Ork Warboss

2011-10-07T11:27:00.001+02:00

WAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!

The Ork Warboss form Black Reach is finished. Like this Miniature. So I must find one on ebay and I got one to paint. Took me over 3 days to finish it. The Caro pattern was the worst to do. If someone knows how they could be made easily, with a better result, please leave a comment or contact me. This will be a miniature for the table.

Here is the Result

...and his back is also beautiful. The two guns in the backpack are cool.

Barbarian with light-sourcing blade

2011-10-03T09:35:00.000+02:00

Its good to experiment always. To do new things. This time I practiced light-sourcing. But not the easy way. I did it on a 15mm miniature form Copplestone. They by the way have nice Miniature. Hope for more 15mm ranges.

Lets have a look on the result so far.

What!? You dont believe its a 15mm Miniatur.
Here the proof.

See the reflection in the coin.

NMM - non metal metallics gold

2011-09-30T10:10:00.000+02:00

I am so happy and exited this worked very well. Tried some nmm gold on a Assault Space Marine of the Blood Angels Veterans. There are some important key-points to gain the rightful result. The right color palette and a lot of patient on the work. Never hesitate. Take your time. He is not done jet. But for the gold its finished.

Some detail on the shoulder pad.

Commander Stryker alternative

2011-08-28T09:32:00.000+02:00

Yesterday it cooled down form the last weeks humid weather. Was so excited so I began to paint. Just in one night i finished Commander Stryker. A Cygnarian Caster for Warmachine. This is the alternative version. At midnight he was finished. It took me 5-6 hours. He was already prepared an primed black. Now a had a reason to open the two P3 cygnarian blue.

Don't know which model should come next. I have a lot prepared cygnarian model. Just ready to be painted. Lets roll a dice. :-)

Voltigeur

2011-08-23T11:45:00.000+02:00

I have done the entire Voltigeur of the Napoleon at War at once. They are the difficulties to paint. So many different colors. Hopefully they are just few. But still time consuming.

1. NaW french Battalion

2011-08-15T10:52:00.000+02:00

I am very happy and excited to have my first French Battalion finished. The miniatures are form an new rang of 18mm. The company is called "Man at War" This Figures are form the range "Napoleon at War" The miniatures are very fine detailed and every single detail is sculpted on. So the miniatures are historical correctly. Also are the bases included in the big box of Line infantry Miniatures.

Rules are also availably. Which look very easy to learn. When I have finished a few Battalions its time for play testing.

Roman Legionaries

2011-07-01T10:18:00.001+02:00

A Warlord-box of Roman Legionaries is finished. Also some Command. The legionnaire were done by the help of Army-painter Quickshade mid-tone.

The General is completely hand painted.

For Titus Aduxas I want something special. So I gave him an NMM- Look.

Wood Elf King

2011-06-10T10:16:00.000+02:00

This nice Reaper Miniature the Wood Elf King inspired me a lot. I worked several days on it. I Think the back part of the cloak can do with some kind of pattern. But i am not sure what will fit. But just have a look on the nicely sculpted miniature by Werner Klocke.

ALEPH Dakini 01

2011-04-18T23:23:00.000+02:00
