IG platoon command squad

Wow over a week since my last update, I'm slacking :P

Been quiet on the hobby front had a slight loss of interest in the stuff for the past week or so. However after reading a post over on my friends blog : The Spring Offensive I decided I would give Schoolcormorants oakleaf method a go, so I picked up some Vallejo paints the other day and had a crack at doing it on a platoon command squad:

pretty pleased with it, its mostly GW paints but the light green is vallejo german camo bright green. Must say I do like the vallejo paints and they work out slightly cheaper than GW ones.

Not to sure what I will tackle next, I might do a scratch sculpt for a change though I'm getting tempted by Malifaux. GW game wise I'm thinking of possibly getting a contemptor pattern dreadnaught when I go to games day and well Rictus is insisting on it..........hes terrible for suggesting new projects.

Whilst I'm here welcome to new followers: Vladdd309 and Jan cheers for the support guys :)

Kommander Sorscha Finished

Another update already, I'm as supprised as you guys :P

managed to get Sorscha pretty much finished today:

The pictures have come out horribly these are the best 2 of the batch and even these have washed out a lot of the highlights :( hall have to get some in proper daylight tomorrow.

Enjoyed painting this model, considering getting another warmachine model or two to paint, likely the khador widowmakers as I like the looks of those :)

Next on the painting list is the Sorceress I recently did GS work on. Shall get started on her in the coming days really need to finish off the first brethren  for the cult of the possessed too.

Also welcome to new followers Matias and Gewaltatron cheers for the support guys :)

More WiP Vahallans and PiP Sorscha

Evening readers,

Got a quick update for you today, the valhallans have multiplied :P :

suprising myself how fast I have been able to get these 3 to this level, scary haha. The one who is pointing will be the sarge of the squad and will eventually be armed with a PPsH style SMG. I've never got the whole squad leaders get a CC weapon and a pistol its rather dumb so mine shall get SMGs which are CC weapons really.

Will get the hat and coat collar done on the sarge tonight :)

Next up we have my second ever Warmachine model, this time Kommander Sorscha. She is an awesome sculpt got her off a friend of mine for £3 a bargain to me. Started painting her today and this is the progress so far:

Pretty fun model to paint, steered away from the bright reds that seem to feature on all the khador stuff and given her a pale green and brown scheme which I think works quite well :)


Well thats it for now I expect next time I update I will have a 4th Valhallan to show :P speaking of which thanks for all the feedback to the first one I put up, its appreciated :)

Before I go what would you guys think to me entering like a squad of 5 of the valhallans into the Golden Demon at the UK gamesday, I know with my painting I have no chance in hell of winning anything but could be fun. Plus it gets you into the NEC slightly earlier than everyone else so is worth it just for that :P

Valhallan Trooper Conversion WiP

Evening readers, bit of a random update here.

Was my brothers university graduation yesterday so spent the whole day at his campus and probs had a little to much wine before going and having a meal. So today I've been rather hung over and half dead haha :P

So to try keep myself awake during the day I have had a crack at converting a plastic catachan into a valhallan/soviet themed guardsman. This was inspired by a series of documentaries I've been watching called Soviet Storm: The war in the East which is about WW2 from the soviet perspective since watching it I've had an itch to make something Soviet themed for 40K.

Add to that the fact I wanted to have another crack at making a guardsman in a Great coat, I've tried multiple times but never been happy with the results. Anyway enough of me babbling on heres the pics:

He's come out pretty well so far, need to sort out some arms for him and finish off a few bits and pieces then he will be pretty much done. This guy will likely be a one off though its tempting to make a squad of them. We'll see what happens :P
