Tale of Warmaster Painters - June 2016

Primed the halberdiers and the knights (*hint,hint mlkr) yesterday. Pics will follow tonight.

I'm hoping to get something finished and up loaded this weekend but I use daylight for photos and it's been in pretty short supply this week. Sorcerer is about finished and got side tracked on a chaos hero riding a stag-ish creature. Took some photos of the hero and it looked so rubbish in the photos I back tracked and ripped half it off. Also started 2 giants but the one face I've done is pretty average.

Still working out how to take photos so you'll have to bear with me. I'll just try to stick up the shared album. Ignore the Treeman, the only 10mm there are some satyrs on the base as sprites.  Hero has had a bit of rework now. Giant only about half finished. If anyone knows of a good 10mm how-to-sculpt-faces tutorial then please let me know. Ill have one more bash at it before decapitation it and sticking a appellants head on. More photos later and can someone please let me know that they can see this album and just this album -tanks.

I can see why folks cast these up when they're done as they're right tricky wee @#!£?@£ to put together.

yep, nurgles garden can be seen.

Nice modelling

I had been painting a kislev unit... but now I only need to base it. I am very happy because with this spare unit left to paint, I had achieve my goal of painting Kislev army. Project complete. And is a satisfactory moment.

But we are not here to talk about Kislev... so it is time to start the Tale.

Here is my goal



This two references and a unit of already painted rats with lances is all my skaven army I have here in Galicia. So I hope this summer, when I will go to Madrid, to grab my skaven bare metal blisters and continue working in the army.

Got it all primed and ready to go. Love my new camera equipment by the way.


White for the foot and black for the metallically dominated horse.



As always, more commentary on the blog.

Sorry for the slight derailing 

Tasmanian devil's skelleton!, I understand is not a miniature but a real skelleton, isnt it?

Yes, another student and I are assembling the skeleton for a project- unfortunately it was the subject of a roughly done autopsy, and possible skinning, so many bones were cut and needed repairing or replacing- hence the need for sculpting and painting (I wasn't given the chance to sculpt the bones sadly, due to time constraints, and the painting was rushed too. I really want to have another go at it with less time pressure).

He ^^ I once got to pet a somewhat "domesticated" Devil at a wildlife center somewhere on Tasmania. Would not try that with a wild one... Aggressive little buggers Any pics of results Geep?

Wild ones are extremely timid, so not much threat- but if you did corner one you'd be in trouble 
The project is due Wednesday, so hopefully I'll have good photos of the finished product by then.

[jchaos79]

That sounds cool.

If you are allowed and if you are willing to, will be great to have a look to the Devil in the chit chat, gossip and rumours forum

Sorcerer of nurgle and his book carrier about done. updated the General a bit.

Wow, trousers, those are impressive sculpts / kit bashes.

OK, delayed from last month but here we are - 3 Chaos Marauder Horsemen units.

[industrialtrousers]

Very kind Stormwind. I'm no stranger to bashing but all original there, bar the metal chaos hero who is in there for scale.  I'll add in the giant again when he's updated but that WILL have a GW head. Can't seem to sculpt faces for the life of me. Must need a finer pin/more patience/better eyesight/more practice/more talent.

Trying to get all my Ogre's based this month + new job results in a smaller June entry compared to May from me. Have'nt gotten far but aiming to get my fanatic cannons painted and based

I had to front end my painting this month, as my wedding is June 19, and to my fiancee's relief, I won't be bringing any paints or models on the honeymoon.

It has been a lot of fun, this was one of the first actual GW models I bought, and I've been looking forward to painting it.

There are still some touch ups or changes I might do, if anyone has any ideas how to make it pop a little more, I'd love to hear them!

[mlkr]

Gratz in advance!

Looking real good

I would consider makeing the tounge pinkish and the claws either highlighted from black or painted white:ish.
