Tale of Warmaster Painters II: April...

[jchaos79]

I really like the shields, and the beard of the marauder

[vincent]

Sorcerer and Marauders are very nice

[azrael71]

They look great.
I found I kept missing bits i.e. flesh or fur, but not the trauma that some people say they are.
I have some more to paint but they are in witn my to do albion army and I am quite looking forwar to them.

[BlackEd]

I uploaded some new pictures of what I've been up to.  I uploaded pictures of reject designs as well as pictures of the Hounds I like and some giant worms (without riders).

Here's a sample:

[jchaos79]

Black Ed: I just recieved a science fiction pack from pendraken, the reference SF31 small running bugs, are worms and nasty insects. Maybe it could be interesting for your army (although I see you have a great swam bases). Maybe it could help.

Thanks for the kind words. In response I've got another strip of them finished and the other four are now being batch painted to match.

I really like the shields, and the beard of the marauder

Funnily enough, the beard is my favourite bit of the stand too! I've decided that most of these marauders will have similar coloured hair as a result.

@BlackED: More good stuff, your GS skills are great and going over your work so far I'm particularly inspired by your dynamic bases.

[BlackEd]

jchaos:  Can you share some pictures?  I'd love to see what they loo like!

pw:Those marauders look very nice!  I agree with jchaos -- the beards and sheilds look great!  (Can you say a few words about the beard?  I want to try it at home.)  Thanks for the compliments!  When you said 'dynamic bases', which ones did you like the most? 

The great thing about the 'Tale' is that it keeps me inspired! 

[jchaos79]

BlackEd: yes, I will try to do them during next week, and post them here

[azrael71]

Loving the worms.
I have 9 units of beastman prepped but just cannot get round to painting them.
I have been ill this week and have then been distracted by 6mm stuff.




Hopefully I will get back into it next week.

@BlackEd: the bases i like most are your mini dioramas with guys fleeing from the horrors, really fun stuff. As for the beard, dead easy - it's a scorched brown base coat, vermin brown highlight and then tausept ocre. Finally a little bleached bone for the extreme highlight.

[pw]

And finally, my basing is done. As you can see the glue wasn't dry when I took the pictures, and perhaps the grass deserves a trim but I couldn't wait to take the pictures. Here you go:

Sorceror:


Warriors:


Chariots:


Marauders (2 stands to go):


And the army shot (these guys are set up ready to batter some Dwarfs tomorrow night):


I've got to finish three units of Marauders and that's my 1000 points done. The it's time for the second 1000 points, and on that topic, does anyone have any spare Chaos warrior standard bearers from the command pack? I'm going to need a couple more for my next units of chariots.

[BlackEd]

New worm!



I'm working on 5 more.  Two more in this pose, 3 in a lower pose.  I'm still trying to think what the riders would look like!

Think Dune....

Rider on top, with hook under segment of worm .......

Personally, I would prefer an elaborate "howdah" with ropes or chains or a ladder swinging from it!
If you have seen the latest Clash of the Titans - look at the giant scorpion riders!

(and before I'm flamed, yes I know the latest version isn't as ggod as the original!)

The last weeks i had big problems keeping my motivation up. I din't paint anything undead which I need to get some demo games running. I only managed to finish two units of high elf archers I wanted to field in a small tournament. So I hope the motivation comes back soon.
