First up we have a Bhaal Predator done up in Azure Fist colours, yeah thats right, its a not Blood Angles chapter using a Bhaal, I dont play so my marines can have what they like, besides they look cool so thats all that matters right?

Next up we have the dread from Black Reach, yes yes I should drill out the barrels I know..

And finally a Master Of The Chapter type duder, not too pleased with this guy but hey ho, he's metal and im not a fan of metal.

Hidey ho folks, Been working on this guy for quite a while now and finally managed to get him finished, woo!

Scarylions first Ork!

2009-07-18T00:21:00.006+01:00

Excuse the poor pics its late and I have been drinking.

Anyhoo Here is my first ever Ork! (Orc?) thought I'd do one of the Black Reach chaps for a change and I actually quite enjoyed it! and as a memorial to the late Michael Jackson I gave him a pimpy white glove! :-)

as I quite enjoyed doing this one I may give another one a try, my first real go at doing anything fleshy and fabricy aswell, think I did ok. Opinions wellcome as allways folks:)

The Future is Klear

2009-06-25T23:53:00.003+01:00

Howdy folks something a bit different from me for a change, you see tonight I want to talk to you about a super product that you may not know about but is undoubtedly awesome! And that product is Johnsons "Klear" or if you are one of those colonials it will be known to you as "Future Floor Wax"

Now this is a product that is very popular in the model airplane/Gundam/RC car world. Basically it is a acrylic wax that is used to make floors shiny and tough, but it also great for modelling as well as it can be used for many things such as:-

Gloss coats
Flat coats
Paint thinning
Paint mixing
Gluing small bits
washes
setting decals
Shiny kitchen floors

As in the list the top 2 uses are gloss & flat coats, which you use to protect the paint job on your newly painted MeganobCrisisNoiseTrooper, for a gloss coat just paint it on straight from the bottle, no need to thin it! (you can if you want to but don't use water, use either IPA or Tamiya thinners if you are going too)
Now this baby is somewhat self levelling so you don't need to worry about brush strokes to much, and it dries pretty darn quick leaving you with a nice tough gloss finish which makes it really easy to apply decals onto.

Now if you want a flat coat you will need to mix the Klear with a little Tamiya Flat Base, you will need to experiment with this until you get the right mix as it can either come out too glossy or rather chalky depending on the mix, so play safe kids and always test on a scrap model/piece of plastic before hand!

Lately I have started using it cut with my metallic paints as it makes them a bit nice to work with, just use it to thin the paint like you do with water, tis goood.

these are just some of the things you can do with Klear/Future as it is a pretty darn sexy product, and its cheap to boot! only £2.99 or something from your local supermarket and a bottle will last you ages.

Here's a few linky doo doo's for you folks to take a look at

The Complete Future
Future Floor Wax
Using Future with Metallics

Hope this has been somewhat helpful and/or informative.

Chaos sorcerer lord (work in progress)

2008-09-15T23:39:00.005+01:00

Been working on this chap the last day or so, really nice kit actually, lots of detail and optional extas.

not sure about the cloak tho, trying to paint stars when youre hand is shakeyer than Michael J. Fox on a moon buggy is somewhat problematic!

as allways comments/critcism/insults welcome :)

Sternguard

2008-09-12T13:43:00.004+01:00

So I cant really do much painting at the moment as we have builders in and the place is dusty as fuck, which is annoying! (plus I have no bathroom so I smell :-( )

anyhoo I decided to use my time and try and make some Sternguard veterans from my recent winnings and various bitz. Got 2 done so far what do y'all think?

Take a look over at CrusherJoe's blog too as he's been doing the same with the Black Reach marines.. Jolly good stuff

Swag and Booty

2008-09-06T22:50:00.003+01:00

Popped into my local gws this afternoon to pick up my copy of black reach before work and they were having some sort of who wants to be a millionaire type quiz thing, and well I did quite well, won a copy of white dwarf a space marine combat squad, some snap fit marines and several bars of chocolate!

All due to my freakish ability to absorb totally useless pieces of information, How else would I have known that the maximum airspeed of a land speeder is 350 kph???? I didn't even know that I knew that!

p.s it felt good to show my superiority over 13 year old children! mwuahahahaha!

Assault on cakey reach

2008-09-05T22:32:00.002+01:00

So A guy from my local games workshop came in to work today looking to get a couple of cakes made for the launch of the black reach set. And of course I had to oblige!

Soup Herb!

2008-08-27T18:14:00.003+01:00

Here's a tip for you from me!

a tin can makes a great water pot! the ridgy bits on the inside are great for cleaning your brush in the water! just brush em up and down on the side and voila! a slightly cleaner brush!

My trusty Minestrone soup tin (the finest of the soups!)

Naught but dread

2008-08-24T22:51:00.005+01:00

Finally made a proper start on my Dreadnaught (see, this is why I never finish anything, always trying to do everything at the same damn time) figured I should as it is the first model I picked up when I decided to get back into the hobby :-)

Anyhoo I stripped the old terrible paid job off, primed it with Tamiya superfine grey primer (which is great btw) and applied the basecoat with my airbrush.

Came out pretty well methinks. Once that was out of the way I thought i'd try and give the previously basecoated command squad a wash using the new citadel washes. So i mixed up a 50/50 mix of black and blue wash and gave them all a liberal spraying!

As you can see from the comparison pic below it really darkened the base blue colour to quite a blacky blue compared with the unwashed dready.

I'm not quite sure if I like it or not, maybe a little less black in the mix would be better, hmm what do you all think?

Airbrush for teh winz0r!

2008-08-22T23:23:00.004+01:00

SM command squad basecoated and dried in less than 10 mins. Excellent.

Still need to get my thinning ratio of water to paint right tho, but still, makes things way way easier!

GO GO GADGET LEGS!

2008-08-21T23:59:00.001+01:00

Space marine sarge with bionic legs.

Iron Hands Tactical Squad

2008-08-20T17:17:00.002+01:00

Marines

2008-08-20T13:20:00.003+01:00

Ok so I think i have my marine colour scheme pinned down but i'm not sure on a chapter name yet, I think they are going to be descendents of either the Iron Hands or Imperial Fists...

NECRONS!!!

2008-08-20T00:05:00.004+01:00

Woo I have finished my first ever squad!
