INQ28mm Paint in progress Heretek

Evening readers, time for another update and within a reasonable timescale since the last one haha


I have still got some hobbying mojo going and have been drawn back to a project I started about septemeberish last year, and that is INQ28mm.

I have decided to finally get my heretek painted up the rough idea is to get him and a retinue of 3 done in time for the Ammo Bunker Open bash in March, as Commisar Molotov who has the INQ28mm blog will be running some intro games which will be worth a look :)

So onwards to progress, the model is still heavily paint in progress but I thought I would share him with you guys to get some thoughts:

And his base:

A big thank you goes out to Mr Feral who gave me a few tips on painting the red, cheers dude. Speaking of which the red still needs a few glazes to add some shadows in the deepest recesses.

I'm thinking of possible adding some hazard stripes to the base to break up the solid metal tones, as it looks a little boring at the moment.

Also welcome to new follower Munky, cheers for the support dude

First finished model of 2012

Morning readers hope you all had a good New Year and Christmas Period :-) its time for my first update of 2012:

As most of you know my mojo and interest for the hobby is pretty much gone and this year shall likely be incredibly slow model wise. However the past few days I have actually had a small bit of interest come back and have managed to finish a single marine for my Steel Praetorians Chapter:

Taken me about 3 days on and off to paint him, rather pleased with how he has turned out just need to decide on a chapter symbol for them so as it can go on his left shoulder pad. The suggest of a friend was to find a symbol the Roman Praetorian Guard used and simply modify that, so I think that is the dirrection I shall head in.

You will probably see a tatical squad of these guys get slowly painted up over the next few months, if my interest holds that is. As such my previous post with a list of things to do in the new year has gone out the window my main aim now is to finish at least 15 models during the course of the year a low number I know but I think even this few will be a struggle :-(

Also on the painting front I have begun to paint a Lunar Class Cruiser for BFG:

Its heavily WiP but is rather straight forward just loads of dry brushing and then I will pick out details like guns as well as adding some fine details like windows, some of which are on that picture (the white dots)

Well thats it for now hopefully there wont be massive gaps between updates, I shall try and get back into the habit of posting on here even if the updates will just be text or the odd sketch or something.

Before I go welcome to new follower Elotsip, cheers for the support dude :)

Parting shot for 2011

Well another year is pretty much out and we are ready to welcome in another or if you are of a certain belief the end of the world............whats this apocalypse attempt number 6? haha

I've been rather active on this blog over the past year and have increasingly moved to it from forum posting, whether thats because the forum scene seems to have slowed down from the economy or others also moving to blogs who knows but I guess its all good.

In hobby terms this year has had its ups and downs I've probs started more projects than I would care to list and finished none of them, we get to recent months and all interest and mojo have dried up. I hope by having a break until the new year it will reinvigorate me some more but its quite possible that 2012 might herald my depature from the hobby......... maybe thats my apocalypse hahaha.


So I figured I will as a New Years resolution try and stick to a set list of projects for 2012 so here we go:

Battle Fleet Gothic: Imperial Fleet : This is to appease Rictus who has now finished his entire Nurgle fleet (HERE) if I can sort this out I can actually start playing a few games against him which might get the mojo flowing more.

Infinity: Rasmus my evil Danish Friend has talked me into buying an Infinity starter pack, gone for the Yu Jing Imperial service starter:

These will be a painting project largely and as its only 6 models I can take my time.

Chaos Legions: If the rumours are true then a chaos legions codex might appear during 2012 at this point I might return to my Word Bearers and do a new 1000-1500pt army salvaging what I can from my old army and if GWs prices dont increase(thats hoping for a lot......) possibly use some new models. Of course I could always do something different instead of Word Bearers again, possibly explore the black legion, Iron Warriors or night lords. Of all the projects listed here this is the one most likely not to happen.

Mordheim: Part of my agreement to do BFG with Rictus was that we would both do Mordheim warbands. I really enjoyed working on my slaaneshii cult of the possessed and would love to get back to them despite not being entirely happy with the GS work. I am planning an undead warband to use up a box of skeleton warriors I've got as well.

Batman character busts: I want to get back to large scale clay sculpture, after having decided to give a third term of my course a miss I've suddenly got an itch to make something. I have a bag of clay and would like to do some busts of Batman characters, at the moment the first batch will likely be Two Face, Harley Quinn, Joker and Scare Crow.

As you can see from the list I'm steering pretty clear of large army projects the Chaos legions thing is only a possible, there will likely be a few random models mixed in with that lot but in general these will be my main projects of 2012

So I wish all my followers and those who read my ramblings a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year and I hope to be back in action in a few weeks time :-)

Before I go welcome to new followers Warpaintguy and David, cheers for the support guys :-)

Tale of Painters Blog Network and Marine Captain update

Evening guys,

Thought I would put up a quick post just to promote a Blogging group that Stahly kindly invited me to join.

The blogging group in question is the "Tale of Painters Blog network", a rather cool site set up by Stahly with contributions from Sigur and Garfy all of which are well known on the hobby forum scene.

They aim to promote the work on other blogs, provide a nice selection of tutorials as well as their own inspirational work on their own armies. Well worth a look :)


And seen as I'm here, heres a small update to show some progress on Centurion Vorenus:

Added the cloak and fur pelt now. He basically needs some finishing touches such as some clasps holding the cloak in place and toes added to his right foot. I wasn't to sure on the back banner to start with as I thought it might look a little OTT but it has grown on me somewhat.

All thats left to do now is the shield. I've got a torso built ready for the GS work to begin on the Chaplain....................;)

In other news in my way of forever boncing between projects I have dusted off the Slaaneshi Mordheim warband, might be time to continue with it :P
