Gallery: Kingdom Death Nightmare Ram By Sven

**This is Kingdom Death NSFW!**

 

The artwork of the Nightmare Ram has been around for a good while before the release of the miniature. If I recall correctly it spread around the time that the Lion God expansion for Kingdom Death: Monster was revealed. Someone had found the Lion Gods artwork on the artists DeviantArt page and the Ram was on the same sheet. Also not officially confirmed it was quite obvious for whom this concept with all the hands and the lantern was made.

Monday Previews!

Greetings! Last week we had a unofficial holiday here on the blog. A combination of holidays, Internet going down and work shenanigans, meant content was pretty much non-existent. This week however we are back on track with project updates from the entire team and for those interested in miniature transport solutions, pay special attention this Thursday as we have a special set of product reviews focusing on the Feldherr Figure Case and Foam range. And finally, Prodos Game's AvP (Aliens Vs Predator) board game if finally shipping to Kickstarter Backers, so hopefully my copy will arrive in good time for me to a review. 

Anyway, onwards with the models!

If you are starting to get tired of seeing Trolls, well sorry no change! I have finally reached the fifth and final troll of my original Salute purchase - Gjoll, who is a standard bearer for the unit. With him in the photo are the wip's of the Hrafnen Crew, who I made a start on a couple of weeks back.My intention is to paint these lot at the same time, and perhaps get both sets finished for the end of the week.

Once these are finished, I have plans to paint something big for the collection, currently it is a coin toss between a giant with a hammer, a giant raven and a giant mouth with fangs!

During the last week I just managed some more steps on the Kingsmen. I finished the red, the feathers and added the first coat of metals to the armour. Again the true metals have the problem of lacking depth, so some inking and black lining might be needed.

 

As promised in the last preview I have another Kingdom Death article prepared for Wednesday, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

This weeks photo is of Mag Ap Mag, Prifdynwocor of Powrs. He is a War chief of one of the two monstrous creatures factions for Brythoniaid, the other being Dragonmen.

Sadly, his foot soldiers haven't shipped yet so he's all on his own at the moment. One of the things I really like about him, is that he reminds me of a Skettis from the Dark Crystal.

 

So despite all the lovely sunshine and warm weather, the team has decided to lock itself away in the dark and make/paint more models, and I for one, would not have it any other way haha!

Gallery: Darklands Norse - Nisurl, Troll Warrior By DiStudios

Nisurl was painted immediately after Gurrir, but once again was not completed until after Vortun had been finished. Because he is one of the earlier painted trolls, he shares a lot of the older colour scheme; like the pink snout; and there are points of brush work, that look rougher than on Vortun. Despite this, I was very happy with the way the hardened brown hide had developed at this point, and it helped make my mind up that it would stay a consistent theme through out the entire troll unit. I also started doing much better work on the belly transitions with Nisurl, which helped solidify a routine to get this technique done. With the new weapon paint job put in place, Nisurl really comes together properly as a miniature, as the weapons are such solid plates of metal (or resin in this case!) that they become the main focal point in the photos.

Gallery: Darklands Infernii - Malacant, Servile Champion of Dis By Sven

 

This article features the first “miniature” from my newest Darklands host. Like DiStudios' Birna, my Malacant is a Warchief for its demonic kindred which is called the Infernii. The Infernii represent the demons that have allied with the Roman Empire and is quite an awesome combination in my opinion. Additionally Malacant is one of the rare sculpts by Dan Cockersell and without a doubt an awesome one.

 

 

Monday Previews!

Greetings all, I hope you had an awesome weekend! It's Monday, so as usual it is time to see just what all of us are up to here at Send The Eighth! Wargaming.

Well despite the complete change of direction, I had some really good painting weekend. Originally I was meant to work on Knutr and the Hrafnen crew but Friday night I could not resist the temptation of my Norse trolls. As a result, two more warriors are now complete and the third is well on the way. Gjoll; the standard bearer; is ready to get his base coat of green, but I suspect that painting him up may take a little longer than the two days it is currently taking me to finish a troll miniature.

With the trolls moving at a good pace, I am quite excited about tackling Jormungand or Thorir - Troll characters - both those models are loaded with detail and I am really in the mood for picking out all the little wrinkles, cuts and warts!

As I’m still consumed by stupid non-hobby tasks I didn’t manage to get more paint on the Kingsmen, but as I’m currently preparing my next KD article, which will be released on Wednesday in a week, I thought I’d show you the photograph I used for inspiration.

I’m quite positive that the resulting miniature is one of my best works so far. So stay tuned!

After a weeks modelling hiatus, decided I would put together this lovely Mierce dragon who goes by the name of Typhaggahw, Gwyfern of Ceredigion, (don't ask me to pronounce it, lol). Really loving the Brythoniaid faction, the Welsh, and it's dragons.

 

Pretty sure I now have everything currently available and the rest of them on pre-order so I probably ought to make time putting some more together and maybe getting back into painting again.  So little time, so much to do....

So trolls, goats and dragons. Lorna is still getting into the swing of things hobby wise, she will most likely be on a fortnightly update. The collections here are really turning into something great and I can't wait to see more of these critters painted up in the future. Being a avid figure/statue collector as well as painter, I have been starting to think about a new display case for my Mierce collection. While it is still early days on that front, it is something I feel writing articles on will be useful, but more on that soon, need the painted toys to fill it first!
