Some sea work, treasure, terrain & GW PURITY SEAL ARRRRGH!

Did quite a bit of sea base work today as well as 90% finishing my terrain test piece.

The pictures are really not showing the colours up on the terrain at all :(

GW purity seal almost fucked up a all of my plague monks but I think I managed to save it by doing a couple of thin washes. It has also damaged the treasure (neither pictured) but I think a wash or two should sort them out. "fixed" plaguemonks are pictured, looking a lot more brown....

I am actively seeking an alternative and it will be tested on something before I use it again.................

I am trying to set a goal of having most of dreadfleet painted up by this time next month...... we'll see how that goes!

Dwarf Ship work & sea painting.

I love painting the sculpted sea bases!  Finished 3 off and they are looking fine (If I don't say so myself)

Some more basecoat work, everything that is going to be gold/bronze has now been basecoated. Also  black wash over everything.

Really once I finish the greens and bring the metal up a level or two it is done.

Would love to hammer through the whole box set on my time off... but we shall see.

Decided to take a picture of my preciousssss paints... because I've gotta have them all! and my drawer of modelling weirdness.

And a picture of the ol' workdesk! vimto in that Guinness glass :[

cant remember if i put a picture up of the resin base I'm going to use for the mountain vs prince oberyn... here it is again anyway!

random stuff I has been doin'

A jobby an a jobby an a job job job.

Picture heavy...... been doing stuff but not updating...

Dwarf ship from Dreadfleet is taking shape......... probably the easiest one to paint out of the lot.3 stage green effect on the green panels... I think the whole shebang is for a black wash though.

enjoying painting the sea. It's the three blue colours in the background of the first piccy. Then a green/black wash and white highlight.

Skaven Work

Work is almost completed on the Skaven, I just need to get the basing sorted.

Really happy with the results and excited to move onto the next project!!!!




Saturday 11 August 2012

Skaven Plaguemonks nearing completion and other random stuff.

Plague monks are very nearly completed - A spot of drybrushing on the skin, parchment and a wash to go.

I have bought, assembled and primed a unit of skaven clanrats as well!

Also everything in the dreadfleet box has been primed.

Little picture of the dead terminator on the throne I bought as well!

I will probably do another sneaky highlight stage on the skaven before washing.....

Dreadfleet Assembly and some Tau eye candy

Dreadfleet assembly and undercoating being done today. Damn it takes a long time to put this set together.

I have taken a picture of every ship I have assembled so far and also some shots of the terrain and the full tau fleet :D (quality street death star in background.)

I have a couple of weeks off at the end of the month so I am thinking of some kind of painting challenge to give myself...

hrmmm
