Death company Dreadnought WIP 1

I have just started to paint my Death company Dreadnought. Today I got some crazy idea that it would be done untill friday morning so I could enter it in the fang 2012 (GW´s annual painting competition in Stockholm, Sweden). So...with aproximatly 2-3h that can be used to painting each day, gives me a total of 6-9h of work, if I can stop myself from doing something else... We´ll just have to wait and see how this miniature looks on friday morning...
Untill next time, happy painting!

Sunday update

There haven´t been so much painting the last few day´s. I have a hard time with inspiration and motivation, but it will hopefully losen up sometimes soon.
I have a few pic´s to show you. First is an Ice gaming for the Rasputina crew (Malifaux). It was a fun miniature to paint, at first I had some plans of doing so much more on this little guy but then I started to do the base and after adding the snow... I kind of like it the way it is right now, I´ll think I´ll stop right here. For not at least;)
Second it´s a pic of my Death company´s with jump packs. They will be a part of my slowly growing Flesh tearers army for Wh40k. As soon as I decides that these little guy´s are done the army will consist of a brutal 11 models! 5 Scouts, 5 Death companys and Lemartes. I have 2 Razorbacks still in boxes, 1 Death company dreadnougth, 1 regular dreadnought, 5 Sanguinary guards, 1 commander and 10 tactical marines still to paint...oh and Astaroth of course! Enough babbeling and on to the picture.
As you can see in this picture I have given the sergeant his originally sword again. I never was compleatly convinsed about the sword from the sanguinary guards box. So I went stripping his sword again. This is the 5-6 times I break of his arme and glueing another one on him.
Hopefully there will be some more of both the Malifaux miniatures but also some Wh40k, Warhammer fantasy and it might even be some Warmachine miniatures showing sometimes soon.

Untill next time, happy painting!

New picture Chaos sorcerer and some WIPs

Today I thought that I would share some WIP´s on a few of my projects. But first is a new picture of the Chaos sorcerer (GW) that i posted some time ago.
'And some WH40k projects, first a WIP shoot on my Death companys with jump packs.
And I wanted to give them a Dreadnought as well, but I have always thougt that the Dreadnought´s looks to tiny and static. So I made him a bit bigger. Looks ok I think and hopefully it will look great once he get´s painted.
And at last...a WIP shoot of a Ice gaming from Malifaux. Still eraly in the progress, but if I´ll the find the "flow" I have a feeling that this one will be great.
 That´s all for now...
Untill next time, happy painting!

Death company WIP

I started to think more and more about having some Death companys with jump packs. So far so good, the minis very built and based pretty fast...then it stoped.
Anyway, long story short this is pretty much all that I have painted on them. I have cut of his arm with power sword more times that I can cunt (and that´s when I have already started to paint him) and tried many different arms and weapons. Somehow this is pretty much where I gave in, I don´t have the energy to tear of his arm any more so he will look like this even after I´ve done painting him.
Still a WIP, and more to come once I find the "flow" again.

Untill next time, happy painting!

Just for fun

This blog has been all about the wargaming miniatures and almost every miniature I have painted has been from some kind of miniature wargame. So, for the first time ever( if you don´t count Pan, that is), I will try to paint something that wasn´t designed for gaming.
By "excident" I got myself this today, took about 30-60min to assemble, hard to count since my two gremlins helped me;) It´s a M4 Sherman MkI tank in 1:76 from Airfix.
As soon as I can get some primer I will paint it and see just how it is to paint something in that scale, will be fun!
Let´s see if I can get some paint on this in the next few days. Also coming up in the next few days are some painted miniatures for Wh40k, Warmachine and Malifaux.

Untill next time, happy painting!

Flesh construf for Malifaux

I painted my flesh construct for Nicodems crew (Malifaux) to gaming standard last night. This is how he turned out. The miniature is packed with tiny little details, and the end result was ok. I mixed a bit of green into he´s skin and the end result was a kind of rotten yellow skin. That I really liked. I fell like a kind of rush my Malifaux minis now since I´m really want to take them to a game (hate playing with unpainted minis). Next to come for Malifaux is some Necropunks and some Rotten belles. Then I will start to build and paint the Rasputina box!
Untill next time, happy painting!

Spring clean and looking forward

Today is the first of may and time to take a slight look backwards and then focusing on the future.
First a slight look forward. I cleaned my painting area today, it was so messy I could hardly find any place to put my minis or brushes. So with a "fresh" start, maybe the future gets brighter!

Last month I gave myself a paintingquest and had a pretty long list of minis that I had planed to paint.
Let´s take a look at that list.

Death Korps of Krieg deathraider on displaybase
Nurgle lord on displaybase
Pan on displaybase

Warmachine:
Cryx Slayer
Cryx Warwith Deneghra
Cryx Warwitch siren
Cryx Cankerworm
Cryx Wreckmarken (build from an old Deathripepr)
2 Cryx Stalker (only one is assembled and primed)
Deathripper, still in bare metall pieces

WH40k
A space wolves/tyranid diorama
5 Ork kommandos

Malifaux
Nicodem
Mortimer
3 Samuraj Punk zombies
3 Mindless zombies
Vulture
Grave spirit

So, what can I tell you about my quest, well it pretty much failed. But I did paint some of the minis on the list. What I have consider to be done.

Deneghra (only to a TT standard, but that´s ok with me, I really hate that mini...)
5 Ork kommandos and nob
Most of the Malifaux miniatures, all but the Grave spirit!

So with that in mind, what do I plan to paint during this month?
Wh40k
Space wolves/tyranid diorama
5 Deatch company marines
Deatch company Dreadnought

Fantasy
Nurgle lord on displaybase

Malifaux
Flesh construct
3st Necropunks

Warmachine
Slayer
Stalker

This might be a bit more realistic, some of the items on my last list is off this list even if they are not painted. Why?  Well, some items have been hanging around with just a little paint on them for over a year, I have a hard time trying to paint them. But I´ll try to find the feeling for them again and do a stroke of paint here and there with no pressure. Then they might get done sometimes;)

With that said it´s time for some WIP pictures. First out is the sergeant for my Death company.
 And a very early WIP on the Flesh construct for Malifaux.
And at last (so I will cover three gaming systems) a WIP on a Warwitch siren for my Cryx.
Untill next time, happy painting!
