Happy Halloween!

Here's Lord Spinetail the Wicked! He's far from finished, in fact, this is really early on. He's going to be the first studio figure I'm going to sell on eBay. I usually don't sell my master level stuff but... well, consider it a Halloween gift to you all!

[Big Red]

I looked at the picture and nearly dropped my coffee!!

I thought "JEEEZUS"....  but then realised that the minature was 28mm scale, not a Warmaster mini. 



Still a very nicely painted mini.

Big Red my friend I wish I could paint like this on 12mm scale, but sadly there is no room to shade and no room to highlight!

I'm posting a 28mm figure only because it's Skaven and I've been doing a Skaven commission for a while now. It'll be back to 12mm tomorrow

Much warptoken has bought the arm of the Rotten 13, the most sinister, deceitful and cunning of all of the greater clan Stormvermin. Born white at birth with red eyes they were shunned and grew up needing to fight to stay alive. Collected from the darkest and most violent parts of Skavenblight, the Rotten 13 are a sight that would make all but the strongest of Warlords squirt the musk of fear.

Dave,

Give me one more week, maybe a little more then a week and I'll have them all ready to be shipped. I've finally got a great system down for them without sacrificing quality so yes, expect them soon. I'm saving the rat swarms for last because they're the easiest to paint.

So I'll photograph the lot of them and then I'd prefer payment through pay-pal and then I'll send them off to you! I will pack them as carefully as I can, but as usual, I'm not responsible for any damages that may occur while in transit, and hope you understand.

These guys look way better in person, trust me. You're going to love the army. I don't want them to leave my display cabinet!!!! 

[Stormwind]

These look really fab, always a pleasure to see more of them. = )

[David Wasilewski]

Sounds good, so mail permitting, I should have them for the Xmas break!

Dave,

I will have them done in time though I cannot control overseas shipping... I only hope that they are quick, I don't want to sacrifice any quality here on my end but I understand how special it would be to have them in time for Christmas. Here's hoping! 

Blog Update! More pictures on blog.

They look nice and dark and greasy!  How do you do the red highlights?  Just the original colour before washing?

[TheIronPainter]

I base with Vallejo Hull Red, then highlight with GW Blood Red, then re-highlight with Vallejo Carmine Red, then wash with Reikland Flesh Wash and then Highlight with Vallejo Bright Orange and then dot with white... finally washing the white with Reikland Flesh Wash.

Ha! How's that for an answer? It sounds complicated but the actual process goes really fast once you've been doing it for a while.

Also, Dave, all should be good for X-Mas! I'm just about finished with the rat swarms and then out the door they go! Will have a rat swarm post as soon as I finish a bunch of them tomorrow.
