Waldgeists Complete!

Well the Waldgeists are now complete, these were really easy to paint! Lots of drybrushing and washes helped me get these done relatively quickly and I'm quite happy with how they've turned out. The waldgeists seem like interesting models to use in games. They're able to move pieces of forest scenery with them as well as strike enemies in or near pieces of forest terrain they're in as though they were in base contact so seem like they could be a lot of fun for me and a massive thorn in my opponent's side...





I added some pieces from a Wood Elf Dryad boxed set to the bases for something different, including this lil guy

Next up out of the Malifaux crew is Pandora and the Sorrows...
Stay tuned for more...

The stuff of nightmares - Teddy complete and Waldgeists WIP

Heya all, Teddy is now done! I added a few subtle highlights to the freehand and tidied it up a bit but decided not to go what I felt would have been too far with adding to it, overall I'm quite happy with he has turned out!


Since completing him I've started on my Waldgeists whilst continuing to work on my Prussian ships. For something different, I have some spare bits from a wood elf dryad set that I'm going to use to make the Waldgeist's bases more forest like...


In regards to my Prussians, I'm thinking of trying a dirty, rusty white because the large amounts of black on the ship hulls is looking rather bland...

More on the way soon...

The stuff of nightmares - Teddy WIP

Well I've finally made a start on Teddy's heart and thought I'd share some pics to get some feedback on it (and the model in general)

I've gone for something similar to what Eavy Metal's Neil Green did on the armour of his Harry the Hammer for the showcase in the Warhammer 25th anniversary White Dwarf. I did a quick sketch to try and get my bearings on what exactly I was trying to apply to the model, I find doing this can often help me when attempting freehand.



I stuck to using very neutral colours to try and avoid detracting from his face and gribbly maw which should probably be the main focal point of the model.


There's still plenty of work on him and the freehand isn't finished yet but I'm keen to get people's thoughts so far?

Stay tuned for more...

Assorted Projects

Heya All, sorry for the lack of updates. Life's been pretty busy and I haven't much time to sit down and do much hobby related stuff until recently.

I've been taking a holiday from the grim darkness of the far future and working on some projects for a few other games to try and rebuild my motivation for 40k whilst working on some more enjoyable projects, here's what I've been up to of late...


Here's a Doppleganger from the Wyrd Miniatures game: Malifaux,


I've recently got into Malifaux and am loving it. The low model count makes it really affordable and easy to paint for yet give each miniature plenty of attention. I really enjoy the game itself. Playing with no dice and using cards instead is wierd at first but surprisingly cool. Very easy to understand and get the hang of.

I'm running a Neverborn crew (they're the bad guys of Malifaux) Led by Pandora. Figured the Doppleganger could be used to pull off some neat combos plus, its a cool model for $9 AUD.

Next on the painting desk for Malifaux is Teddy.


I've also picked up some prussians to get into Dystopian Wars with. Gonna aim for a predominantly black and gold scheme with them and have bits of white and red for markings and insignia...



Thanks for looking, will hopefully have more in the not too distant future...
