Warzone Ressurection Brotherhood (WIPs) part 3

I finally finished all of the starter box models as well as an extra unit of troopers for Rob and I have almost finished the older casts of more troopers, mortificators, Valkyries, cardinal Dominic and another and the older cast of the judicator. Work has been even more hectic but they have been coming along slowly!

Warzone Ressurection Brotherhood (WIPs) Part 2

Finally started the brother hood troopers this week and after doing a test model, I have finally started the rest of them. I'm going for a relatively light grey armour with white highlighting but the inner armour/squidgey almost fleshy bits are black. The colour of the shields hasn't  been decided yet but I'm starting to get a few ideas with some goo suggestions. 

For now enjoy a WIP photo. 

Warzone Resurrection Brotherhood (WIPs)

So I've finally started to paint Rob's Brotherhood Army and after deciding to get the bigger models out of the way first, I have now finished two inquisitors and a judicator who I have now named Frank. Rob wanted his army painted with the standard colour scheme, so I hope I've done it justice! 

More WIPs to follow later!

UK Games Expo 2014

We attended the UK Games Expo this year which was held at the Hilton Hotel at the NEC Birmingham. I was only there for the Saturday and I was helping aka observing as the lads were having a demo game of Saga; a viking invasion.

The event had a brilliant turn out, although I found it much too hot and busy to actually browse anything but at least the board had a good amount of interest.

Also next to our demo game, was the Very British Civil War Game with some fantastic looking scenery.

A look at my work so far

I started painting models last May after being influenced by my boyfriend and in just over a year, i have only fully completed five models; although I have started many others but haven't finished them yet. This post is really for me to prove to myself that I am improving in my painting and the more models I paint the more I should improve (hopefully). 

So starting from my first completed model from May until now, here are my completed models.

Thanks for reading! 

Happy (late) 2013 - WIP

Happy new year to everyone even if it is nearly February now! I've been very lazy lately when it comes to painting but that's changed in the past week or so. The new year is bringing a lot of painting opportunities which come in form of competitions, board displays and new models. I have been helping my boyfriend with a display board for Battle group Kursk for Hammerhead in February. I might also paint my wood elf spell weaver for my local Games Workshop competition if I have enough time.

Last week though, I started painting a very cool infinity model - Scarface and Cordelia. The model is technically my boyfriends but he gave me the opportunity to paint it. So I've been a very lucky girl indeed. I absolutely love this model!

Shinomi - Completed

I finally finished the Kabuki model; Shinomi and I'm  pleased with how she turned out. She is now my 4th finished model :).

 I'm now going to start working on the Kingdom Death Model - Grand Mother.

WAMP 2012

On Saturday, Maelstrom games was holding WAMP 2012. After hearing that it had a few painting workshops that would be really useful me and my boyfriend decided to go. Along with the painting competition there were three workshops running; Speed painting, Painting faces with Tommie Soule from Golem Paint Studio and Weathering and Pigments with John Keys (which never happened as the painting faces workshop ran for 3 1/2 hours instead of 1.) The painting faces work shop was great,Tommie was a great teacher and we learnt lots of new but sometimes obvious painting skills. He also told me I need to practice my brush control. So lots of practice for me!

While I was at Maelstrom games, I thought I'd pick up a few new models to work on over the summer and after admiring the Kingdom Death models for some time, I bought two. One of the models was the limited edition Lion Knight 2nd and although expensive looks really amazing. The second is called Grand Mother.

Both are gorgeous and also creepy models, but the amount of detail in the sculpts is amazing.  I love the artwork and boxes they come in too. I can't wait to build and paint them.

Shinomi - WIP

I got the beautiful Kabuki model - Shinomi a while ago as a present but due to a combination of being busy and laziness, I still haven't completed her. I managed to get a bit more painted at the weekend so hopefully I should have her finished soon.

A few more details, a final touch up and her base needs doing then she's done! Hopefully the painting faces workshop at Maelstrom games this Saturday will help.

4th Time Lucky

A little while ago I bought the gorgeous Hassle Free miniature; Artemis and was really excited to paint her. She's a really nice model and is well priced for being 40mm too but because of my luck and lack of experience when it comes to painting, I have had to strip her three times. So hopefully 4th time lucky and I'll be able to upload photo of her finished or WIPs.

Completed Shae - 54mm

The finished version of Shae which I'm pretty pleased with. I still need to practice details such as eyes and highlighting and also straight lines but practice makes perfect.

Painting is fun. Yeah!

Well I've finally gotten into painting models after being influenced by my boyfriend. After seeing him paint his Flames of War and Dystopian Wars models (among many, many others), I decided I'd give it ago with his help. My first project(s) were two 28mm Hassle Free miniatures which were a present from Salute 2012.  I painted them last week and they were my first attempts at painting.

My next project - 54mm model

For my next project, my boyfriend found an old 54mm model which he stripped. I painted this model this weekend (pictures to come soon) and I plan to finish the bases on the other models next weekend.
