No Disintigrations..

Well,  here he is, done and dusted. Im not massivley happy with it - could have done better, but by the end I wasnt really "feeling" the model anymore, and just wanted to get it off my desk. Thats no reflection on Knight, its a lovley peice - but it rolled on a bit longer than Id have liked, and there were a few annoying little complications that spoiled it for me. That said, I hope Adam likes it!   Vote on CMON here: http://www.coolminiornot.com/294336

Boba Fett? Where? Boba Fett?

one titan finished! Poor quality image on cool mini here: http://www.coolminiornot.com/291999   Im currently working on Boba Fett for Adam, heres my poor quality picture update. (NB - you'll have to excuse the photos. Until I get a proper light set up, this is as good as its going to get. Luckilly, I here Santa's sack might have one this year) this is the 70mm Knight Models release, I picked up from Maelstrom Games.

Warhounds - seeing the light at the end of the tunnell. (Its a train)

Some more little updates, well actually a pretty big one! Legs section - done! Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnell on this one. Lots of grease, muck and oil on there, when everythings done I'll give it a light dusting of graveyard earth too for a finish of dust. Also worked on the right hand "shoulder" The soot needs thinning onto the yellow yet. Note the reconstructed plastic whittled spikes to replace the original resin ones which snapped off almost immediatley. I've got a small list of to do now, thank god - the sides of the body, with some hefty detail, fans, grills, pipes, icons etc, but its all hidden - done one side but the other still to do. The gun servitors inside the weapon shoulders, the carapace metalwork and spikes, rear of the engines and the underside of the weapon mounts. Lots of little bits, considering how much I've already done! (and have still to do, with its sister warhound...)

More titan stuff

Suggested names "stroppy and careless" I like. Sorry Brian!

Back after almost a year!

More than that actually. I've been blogging really over at www.platoonbritannica.com for most of the year, but with my latest project, a comission for a friend of two flaming skulls legio warhound titans, a few people have been asking for a WIP thread that wasn't on that forum so they could have a look. Anyway! I'm not going to go back over the ENTIRE WIP, so I'll post up some of the update pics from the last two weeks, to give an idea. Im supposed to be going along to a midlands meet for platoon at the start of december/end of nov, really looking forward to it. Only downside is that were probably at GW warhammer world, and have a condition of citadel only models on the day! Apart from the above, Im painting a knight models release, a heresy model, a bane lords model and judge dredd models...time to find something from GW apart from titans I want to paint!

Skaven horde painting

I have embarked upon an epic quest, determined, as I am, to have a painted army for our clubs warhammer tournament in January. Im still working on a couple of display peices, but its refreshing to manage to finish a nice looking unit/war machine or whatever in a night to a tabletop standard. The list to do so far: 40 clanrats 40 slaves 8 plague censor bearers 34 plague monks Already started: Queek headtaker warplightning cannon + scenic base and crew 5 jezzails poison globe mortar I may regret promising myself this! But anyway, I want another army I can be as happy with as my Wood elves. That I leave alone, dont canibilise, repaint or mess with.

MORE!

Good god, three posts in as many days. Who would credit it? Well, I've had something of a re-inspiration to paint and model, Platoon always seems to be able to do this for me. Whilst others have lost faith, and need time away following the controversies of last weekends judging, I feel more invigorated to improve than I did in the run up to Golden Demon. Anyway. I promised posting the pictures. Apologies for the photos, I'm a painter, not a photographer. Also been working on Viktoria more (weyhey!)
