Warmachine and Grey knights

I haven´t painted any Warmachine models for the last past week, but last night I did a few strokes with my brush on my Necrotech (the never ending Necrotech...) He still needs a lot of work but at least now I can visualize how the mini will look when finished.  I stripped his weapon for the second time, I still can get it to look the way I wants, but I´ll give it a third try! Anyway, this is how the Necrotech looks at the moment.

Apart from the Necrotech I have my desk full of Grey knights! As I wrote in last post I got a comission on a Grey knights army, and I have started to paint! I still have to strip about 80% of the army, but while waiting for the chemicals to do their thing I started to paint the other night. I work on a Rhino (this one was alreadyu glued so I could not paint it i pieces as i would have want to, but It will be an experience at least) and one test mini right now. But I will start on the first squad as soon as I got an OK from my client.
First is a pic of the first GK that will be used to test squad markings.

And here is a singel shoot an the one who actually got some paint.

And at last an early shoot of the Rhino. This is still with just the base color and a thin wash of blue followed by starting to mark out the squad marking.

 Untill next time, happy painting!

Grey knights!

Today I picked up a batch of Grey knights that I will do as a comission for a fellow wargamer. This will be my first real comission work and I´m really looking forward to get started. The first thing to do is to strip the models and clean them from flesh, mouldlines and to drill out the barrels.
I plan to paint them in batches of five models at a time. I´m not really sure about the bases yet, but time will show.
Pics will follow as the work proceed. But I can tell you that the army includes
1 Landrider
1 Rhino
1 Dreadnought
5 Terminators
30 Grey knights in power armour
and a bunch of models without power armour.
So keep your eyes up for some Grey knights, a basing tutorial and my entry for the Sverok Painting Challange!

Untill next time, happy painting!

Sverok Painting Challange round 2

It look´s like I´m going to enter the Sverok Painting Challange round two after all, since this theme are Death from above I thought that it would be a nice opportunity to paint one of the tyranids from Space hulk that was re-released in 2009. I´m also going to use one of the limited edition wounded Imperial guard from the Preatorian army box. The Preatorian have been in my bit- box for ages and this will be a good opportunity to paint it. I´m going to make a base for the models but I´m not quite sure about how the base will look like. This is a quick shoot (taken with a cell phone) of the models who I will enter in the Sverok Painting Challange round two. Wish me luck!

Untill next time, happy painting!

On my desk

There are mostly Cryx for Warmachine on my desk at the moment. I´m trying to finish a Necrotech, a Nightwretcher and another Mechanithrall (still need to finish the first one...) But I also trying to finish some Orks for Wh40k. I´m doing a Meganob and some Àrd boyz, but a Kannon (using the FW Kill kannon as a regular kannon)and the Killa kans are still waiting for my brush. Pics of the rest of the Orks will come up later.

I was out the other day and collected some basing materials for a tutorial. This is what I mainly will be using.

And...it look´s like I´m allowed to enter round two of the Sverok Painting Challage, so keep you eyes open for Death from above! It will probably be a two model piece...where one part is the the Imperial guards from the Preatorians.



Untill next time, happy painting!

Sverok Painting Challange round 1

I actually won the first round of the Sverok Painting Challange and I got to chose the theme for next round. I chose Death from above for round two.
This was my entry for round one, and since I´m not allowed to participate in round two (because I got to chose the theme) I can just enjoy all the good enteries.

Keep your eyes up for another basing tutorial that will be posted shortly.

Untill next time, happy painting!

Going for a trip

I´m going away with the kids for a few days so no painting will be done. But I will collect some basing materials and when I come back I will write another basing tutorial on how to make some nice and cheap bases in no time.

Untill next time, happy painting!

Cryx: Mechanithralls wip

Just a quick WIPshoot from my desk. I work on two Mechanithralls among other things. I have almost compleated the shadowing on these bastards. Now it´s time to start work the highlights!

I´m also working on my Slayer, a Nightwretcher and a Necrotech. So more to come in a few days.
Untill next time, happy painting!
