Galllery: Kingdom Death - White Knight Heavy Version By Sven

The heavy White Knight is an alternative version of the White Knight which I’ve already painted a while ago. It sports a heavy weapon and wears slightly different armour. Apart from that it is pretty similar to the original, so I’ll keep it short to prevent being repetitive.

Gallery: Chaos Daemons - Nurglings By Chris


January 2016 has been very productive for me so far! It seems that small decisions; like going from mono to multi-god; has been the right move. It has giving me more painting and modelling options than ever, resulting in finished figures. As you can see below, elements of my long forgotten Nurgle collection have started to reappear and fully painted too!

I only made a few adjustments to the Nurgling stands as they were pretty much fine despite a couple of years storage There was the odd damage to fix, but the main task was to finish them completely by re-basing and adding additional features like shrubs, leaves and mushrooms. I think these little changes go a long way to making them stand out more than before.

Monday Previews!

 

Welcome to another Monday, lets shake off the start of week work blues and have a look at what miniature goodness is floating around the writer's desks. It's looking like a very strong start to 2016 as we actually have lots of fully painted, near fully painted miniatures, ready and lined up for photo shoots!

After a busy weekend getting some of last years photos up on the blog, I dug out and finally finished off some figures that have been lurking around for a while. With my return to Chaos Daemons, it seemed only right to liberate the Nurgle minions from their crusty storage box and add them to my ever growing collection. it is quite surprising to see just how close to completion these were, before I hit a mental block with the painting.


So over the weekend I finished off fourteen Plaguebearers, three stands of Nurglings and built three Plague Drones. As you see, Skarbrand is back out, waiting to get a covering of liquid green stuff with the Drones. A very productive weekend, that has given me a huge motivation boost this week. Gallery shots of the Plaguebearers and Nurglings will be posted within the next two weeks and next in-line is finish the Exalted Seeker chariot and make a start painting Pink Horrors.

After the arrival of my long awaited Wave 1 shipment of KD:M, I finally got my hands on the last resin miniatures I needed for my full collection. I'm now the proud owner of every 28mm resin miniature officially offered by Kingdom Death (I don't care much for the 54mm and those strange, failed grab bag minis). To celebrate this I began work on a miniature that I loved for ages now and couldn't wait to finally receive. The Lion Knight 2nd. I'm actually pretty far concerning his paint job, but am pondering at the moment what approach to go by concerning the face. So I had a little fun with Photo shop, to have a look at my different ideas.
I'd love to try out the "skin version". Basically showing that the Lion Knight has human origins and was crafted/shaped to look more like a lion, but am not sure it'll look the way I imagine. Any comments on the matter would be appreciated.

A solid looking January so far!

Gallery: Prodos Games Warzone Resurrection - Mishima Tiger Dragons By Chris


Like the Cybertronic Eradicator, these figures were painted for Prodos Games' Salute 2014 Display Stand. The red armour colour scheme was chosen by the client, so I went for a rich glossy effect much like what I used in the past for my Warmachine collection. These are extremely fun miniatures, which blend nicely Japanese classical style with a sci-fi twist and at a very decent price.

Gallery: Prodos Games Warzone Resurrection - Cybertronic Eradicator By Chris


Painted in 2014 for Prodos Games as part of their Salute Trade Display. This Eradicator is an iconic model of the Mutant Chronicles/Warzone range. It is a massive chunk of resin, which proved to be a nice challenge to paint due to the client's color scheme; which involved large white plating. To ensure that the model was not overly plain, I opted to add hand painted battle damage, free hand symbols and a few glow effects, sadly what cannot be seen in the photo, is the free hand green circuitry under the chin of the model. I did have a bit of a mishap though, the blaster glow did not turn out as expected due to my colour selection, despite this, the Eradicator is a great model from a fantastic company and is a must have for any fan of the Mutant Chronicles/Warzone Resurrection Cybertronic fan.
