Sons of Sek Damogaur and Urban war gladiator

Evening readers, time for another update


Over on the Ammo Bunker I set up a little topic with a poll to help me decide what my main project for the year ill be. The vote went to the Sons of Sek so I will be continuing with the army. Don't worry I'll still be painting random prjects in the background such as the necrons etc.

So I decided to paint the platoon commander for the sons, who I christened Grath Damogaur. I put up some pics of the conversion work a while back but I'll post them here too:






and the unpainted conversion:






based on a catachan torso and legs, cadian command squad plasma pistol, empire militia arm, hand and chainsword from the cadian frame and a flagellent head,

Next up is another random project, few weeks back I ordered a urban war gladiators strike team (here) as a painting project. It turned up a day or two back and I have just finished the first member:





and her with the next gladiator I plan to paint:




for this mini I've used a wet palette for the first time and must say I am really impressed with it, though it would be impractical to use it on an army scale I think for a small warband like these 7 gladiators it will be really good.

appologies for the quality of the pictures, some of the shading and highlights on both models isn't showing up well :(

Also welcome to a new follower Tame, cheers for the support dude :)

As ever let me know what you think guys t

Dark Eldar Raider and Archon

Afternoon readers, its time for another update :)

Seen as my latest thing is to bounce around between projects so as I dont get bored of any single thing I bring you a Dark Eldar related update :P

Today I have finally finished off the raider that I got at Christmas, its taken me 4 months and the nagging of a few friends to get the energy together to finish it :( a very mojo destroying model. However now it is done bar a few touch ups and the addition of some transfers to the Sail (once I decide which ones I want to use :P )

so here it is:











And the base:





Not really my best paint job but it will do, I'm just glad that its done with. The washes I applied have come out patchy in places so I might have to turn those into battle damage of some sort. The highlights are pretty basic but they look ok from a distance.

Now originally I had planned to abandon DE altogether after this model and sell or trade off the unbuilt kits I've got however I'm thinking I might continue with them and will be building a quad of wyches to paint :)

Also I have built the Archon I have had sitting around for months:





few conversions, cut the gloved hand holding the husk blade off the metal arm and combined it with the upper arm of the pointing power sword arm from the warriors sprue. Also given him the trophy rack from the Warrior sprue with the addition of an extra skull.

His base has the remains of some unfortunate who met the wrong end of the husk blade, seen as the codex says it vaporises anything it touches I figured a blackened skeleton would work well :) might yet add a skeletal arm holding a bayonet or something :)

So thats it for another update, next time it might be the Archon, some more Necrons or possibly some urban war gladiators :D

As ever let me know what you think guys :)

Test Necron

Another update already! what is this heresy :P

well during today I have got a test Necron painted up, here he is:





Gone for a cold feel on him, so winter base, and a cold blue for the gauss flayer and eyes. The head and shoulder armour are meant to be gloss black with gold trim in the case of the shoulders but its not coming out to well so I might have to change it :(

Other than that I'm pretty happy with how he has turned out :)

What do you guys think?

Whats on the Desk

Afternoon readers, been a while since my last update but that mainly down to me getting a virus and being out of action for 2 weeks, still got a weakened version of the cough :(

Anyway I thought I would put up a small post with a few pics of my current projects, first up are some Necron Warriors :



these guys have had their legs cut so as the can be straightened up and also it helps to get rid of the bow legged stance they come in, the big inspiration behind these was seeing and handling some straightened Necrons that Dean over on AmmoBunker made for the Games Day table last year, heres a ling to his Tutorial for those interested: HERE

They will be a slow burn project and I plan to paint the green rods in a similar effect to the agoniser I did for the squad of Dark Eldar I painted a while back.

Next up is a very very Wip Skitarii, back in 2008 I made an Ad Mech warband for the Ammo bunkers GD game "Escape from Eidos" recently I found out the original models and was pretty shocked by how basic the conversions where, so I'm planning on remaking the warband as another little project. Might even have a crack at doing a Praetorian combat servitor :)





here is the original warband on some of the Wonderful terrain made by Rictus circa 2008:



Finally here is a PiP update on the black orc big boss I've been working on:





tried to get a leathery skin effect, overall quite happy with him so far, only needs a few finishing touches and he is done :)

Also welcome to some new followers MikeD and Pikapedra cheers for the support guys :D

well thats it for now might try get a Necron base coated later on.

Some more Imperial Guard

Evening Readers

Its time for another update this time of models instead of random drawings :P. I managed to finish 5 IG yesterday which finishes off the 2nd squad:




And the whole squad together:



I have also recently finished a conversion of an Imperial Priest to accompany a platoon command squad:



He is based around a Empire Flagellent with Cadian arms and some GS work :)



Also after seeing some of the Eavy metal examples of Orcs in the latest WD I fancied a crack at painting a few, so after a bit of a dig in the garage I came across a tin which contains all the orc models from one of the older Warhammer starter sets :



Think I will strip these guys and have them as a little project, I already dug out my model of Borgut FaceBeater who will just be a generic black orc big boss or something :)
