Sir Knauf and his merry fellows

Hi everyone! New update here. You might have noticed I gave an overall revamp to the blog visuals so I hope now is more user friendly and easy to navigate. So, the last weeks I've been trying to step away from the nomad projects to tackle some new things. For some days I was toying around with the idea of bringing a StarCo list for the next tournament so I got my hands on the Knauf mini that came with the limited edition of the Outrage manga and set him for a paint ride. Knauf, Outlaw Sniper There is a recurring joke in my playing group t…

Doomseekers

Already halfway through my copy of Silver Tower. This week i finished some of the monsters, completed the Horror set and tried some new things on the Fyreslayer Doomseeker and the Excelsior Warpriest. The Excelsior Warpriest was a new go at painting black skin, trying to consolidate the things I learned while painting the Kairic Acolytes. I decided to give him very dull colors on the robes so the purple used on the cape would stand out as the main color point on the mini. Excelsior Warpriest Excelsior Warpriest Detail of the face Th…

Acolytes of the Flame

Work continues steadily with Warhammer Quest Silver Tower. I've done the brimstone horrors taking in account the new things about fire I learned when painting the blue horrors and finished the Kairic Acolytes as well as the Tenebrael Shard.  In order to keep me entertained with the Acolytes I tried to mix white and black skin half and half. I had some problems painting black skin in the past with the Nomad Jaguars as the skin ended up looking very bland, so now I wanted to try some new techniques. In the end black wash was the solution to mak…

Paradiso Elites

Yesterday I took some time to finish of some of my latest Combined Army reinforcements as well as painting the base for the last morlock that had still hanging around. The Pneumarch is probably one of the coolest miniatures so far in the Combined Army range and has a lot of personality. It also makes a great nexus hacker proxy. The orb makes a good excuse to paint some nice source lighting effects on him. I got my Charontid as soon as the new one was announced. To be fair I was not sold on the new aesthetic, too same-y when compared to t…

For whom the bell tolls?

My screaming bell is done. To be fair it's been done for several months but I couldn't get myself to take a decent photo of it. So now with the new photo booth I took the time to take some photos to update it on the blog. This was a particularly important project for me. When I first started collecting skaven back in the 90's I never had the amount of cash to buy myself a screaming bell, so I had a horribly scratchbuilt conversion so I could play it on my lists. As I stopped playing, I never got the subsequent models, so when I decided t…

Enter the Silver Tower

Today I'm posting the start of a new side project. I got a copy of Warhammer Quest Silver Tower some months ago and surprisingly my wife and I enjoyed it a lot despite the Age of Sigmar setting. So in order to spice up our next delves I decided to start painting the miniatures. I started with the Kairic Acolytes but an accident with a pot of paint made me kickstart the Stormcast before I finished the Tzeentch warriors. Blue horrors were just a middle pitstop I painted while waiting for the bases on the acolytes to dry. Their color scheme is s…
