Mary of the Knife

Just a last entry of the year update to wish all of you who follow this blog a nice entrance into 2018. I had not posted my finished reverend moiras fireteam despite being done even before the Riot Grrrls, so now I guess it's time for the crazy nuns to wish you all the best for the new upcoming year. Reverend Moiras fireteam  Those crates in the background are some Bandua scenics I got for pretty cheap during black friday sale. They were a hassle to assemble but the result is quite nice. I do not own an aerograph so I just had to spray c…

Night of the Riots

I've been a Nomad players since pretty much N1. Before sectorials where even a thing and we got tiny robots and cool toys for our models. There is something about the Nomad nation that just appeal to me. They are a bunch of ragtags and pirates and anarchists, but they still find enough common ground to fight together for a common cause.  The Bakunin Riot Grrrls and the Corregidor Jaguars really are the units that most give me that feel. We have this bunch of motherf***ers here on our spaceship giving us hell, so why don't give them a friggi…

The Man, the Soldier and the Aristo-cat

I got my Aristeia! last week and, while I bought the collector's edition with metal miniatures I was gladly surprised with the overall quality of the plastics, so I was in doubt of what to do with the metals. If I could achieve good results with the plastic models maybe I could sell my metals and get some of the money back. However, despite the quality, some of the models like Lunah or Gata really showed some lack of detail around the face that worried me. So I decided to paint them first in order to decide if it was worth keeping the plastics …

Second party into the Masmorra

This will be just a short update with mostly photos. As I set up the scene to take some photos yesterday I took up the chance to photograph some of the Masmorra models I had painted some weeks ago and hadn't posted yet. Some of them were pretty fun to paint but others like blossom ended up being a chore (I'm so sick of the standard green elf with bow already...) Neffar, Zsa Zsa and Lang Lang Zsa Zsa was the most fun to paint and I was looking forward to paint her since I saw her concept on the KS. It was fantatic that the mini ended up …

Horned Rat, notice me!!

The greatest champion of the verminkind is here! After finishing my Mors campaign on Warhammer Total War I knew that I definetely want to buy and paint a Queek Headtaker for my skaven army.  I decided to maintain his classic color scheme as his red armor is very recognizable in most media and lore and changing it would make him more difficult to identify. Also I love red stormvermin so it helps keep in the color scheme of the unit. I only changed his eyes to look like he is high on warpstone, with a green glow, because... you know... he is a ma…

Rats. Yes yes!

After what probably accounts as too many hours of playing total war warhammer 2 and the hilariousness of knowing that skaven are the first race of the warhammer world to make it into space, (cosmonaut rats, yes yes!!). I decided to strip the paint of my very very old skaven army, buy me some new toys and start a new skaven army combining old and new models. I'm not really sure if I will play Age of Sigmar but I'm pretty sure I want to have this little guys on a special place on my shelf. Plague censer bearers and a Poison Wind Globadier …

Stubborn Defenders

While I waited for my new Skaven to show up at the doorstep I decided to get myself busy with some minor projects. I haven't been painting with metallic colors in ages but I really don't have the patience to do NMM in a large army. So in order to get back the use for this paints I decided to tackle a small 10 Dwarf two hand weapons regiment I had from MoM Miniaturas. I love MoM miniatures because they make dirty cheap minis (particularly regiments) but they are full of character. Every miniature has a distinct pose and none is the same as th…
