Dear lord, these chariots are really eating me alive. I finally finished stage 2 after I don't know how long of gluing and clipping and filing. I'll have to take a break before starting to paint these. Anyway, stage 2 was to modify the chariots a bit so they don't look identical as well as...

Yikes, these chariots are killing me but I've finally reached my first checkpoint so I thought I'd post my progress. Basically I've divided the job into three phases: 1) Figure out how and magnetize everything needed to switch both chariots between being a Mortis Engine and a Coven Throne...

Yeah, I finally managed to wrangle some of the basing material that was used on the game boards I usually play on and I plan on basing a model or two before next week when we will play again. This is one of the reasons I haven't done anything with large bases yet since there I would preferably...

Well, basically I just can't stick to any plan, but at least I've gotten some things painted. Since I've played against High Elves my latest battles I increased my priority on my Bat Swarms. As I might have mentioned I find the GW models to be atrocious and cartoony and just plain awful, so I...

So.. another month and change gone. If it weren't for me having a crazy moment there wouldn't be anything painted either, but I did and so there is. Basically what happened was that during dinner on a friday I decided that I wanted to try some cavalry in an upcoming game the next tuesday. The...

I did buy a varghulf when I got a nice rebate on one, and I tried painting it but.. ugh.. I failed so bad I stripped the paint from it and I'm going to try again. I started with the brown fur and did some grey washing on the wings and some brown on the flesh. I then started to wash the flesh...

Another playtime set, another rush to paint stuff. This time I finished my 50 (well, 49) ghouls. I'm not quite satisfied with how they look, but I guess they'll do. They probably won't see as much play as my zombies, but they sure are good for filling up core in larger matches. You really...

Sooo.. long time no paint. Many reasons why, but primarily because I haven't had an opportunity to play for a while. I did get a game booked with a five day waiting period last week though so I panicked and started painting as fast as I could. I assembled, painted and finished 20 Dire Wolves...

No development these last two weeks on my Warhammer Army. I had to quickly paint up a small fleet for Dystopian Wars. I play the FSA and put together a list with some boats and some blimps. Took forever to paint, might just be me running out of steam though. And I couldn't resist buying a...

It wasn't an action-packed weekend this time but I did finish cutting and cleaning all my metal models and pinned them to bases as well as basecoated them white. Some of the figures will require a unit filler next to them because I can't see a figure fitting right next to them.. but they should...

This isn't strictly speaking a painting post, but I christened my current forces in a joined battle with the Empire (1200pts each) against a Night Goblin army (2400pts, looots of fanatics). We won in the end and I learned a lot of valuable lessons. Painting/Modelling lessons learned: - Even...

Finished my Cairn Wraiths in record time. I did consider doing them in the same Ethereal makeup that I'm planning to do my spirit hosts in but browsing around and talking to my friends they seem to more be the grim reaper archetype so they basically just got a black cloak. My Cairn Wraiths are...

Phew.. been a hectic weekend but I finished setting up, implementing and completing my production line for the grave guard. Here are some pictures from the production as well as the finished result. A gazillion pieces had to be basecoated.. I used silly putty here but I really shouldn't...

A full day of decisions and painting later I have a color scheme done and five prototype grave guard finished. Without further ado, here are some blurry pictures.. (I really have to set up a photo spot with natural lighting and a tripod..) As we left of in the previous post things had been...

Ugh.. I have finally scraped and checked all the parts for the Grave Guard. I do believe I'll paint them a bit in parts and then assemble since it seems easier to reach everywhere then. I'll spray everything white tomorrow unless something else comes up.. but I think I'll finish a few to see...

Thanks. Been busy with work lately so haven't painted much, but I've planned out how to do my grave guard and have started on one unit and have done about half of the corpse cart. As for my ethereals I'm leaning towards black/green instead of white/blue, but I'm not totally sold yet. The...

Phew.. okay, I have to say that modding zombies with weapons and kitbashing Mantic and GW zombies takes about two or three eternities longer than just painting the Mantic ones as they are. Anyway, now I've finally gotten the new ones to the same shape as the previous batch (no blood, no...

Thanks, both when interpreting it as being characterful and being full of characters. :) (5 zombies instead of 8 and 3 instead of 4 isn't that much "filler" really) I've tried various poses but always wanted to do this one. Had to cut off the hand and rotate it though to make the pose fit...

Holy crud did I underestimate the time it would take to make custom zombies. I finally managed to get them all glued together and the seams filed down late last night. I also set up another unit filler so when everything is painted I'll have 118 "zombie units". That'll have to do for now, easily...

I decided to revamp this plog since I don't really like the attachment system here so decided to reinstall ye olde picasa that I haven't used in over a a year to link the pictures instead. Anyway, since the first 50 zombies were mostly vanilla (i.e. hardly modified) I've now started working on...
