The mini is stunning. The base is somehow not yet finalized, right?
I'd do something with the stones (maybe a bit moss, some dirt?)

Amazing work!

The spider rider:

Oops, seems I missed the vote exercise, but I agree with the others - "A" is the right decision ^^

Thanks guys. My latest Brute’s work is set aside for a moment; a conversion project dropped in.
Took a nice toy spider, build a base, put a saddle on her back and found a spider priest in my...

Freehand exercise in progress:
83686

Welcome back. You didn't post for a while, but you've been quite productive. The waterfall dio is stunning!

Easter vacation is coming to its end, took the opportunity to finish the last squad of my putrid blightkings.
Now 4 units are painted and ready (so I won't be in any worry to fullfill the battleline...

Yeah! The next milestone is reached. This was the last big Nurgle Monster sitting on my pile of shame.
This guy has eyes... everywhere ^^
Now smaller things come back into focus. There are still...

Mousekiller = Speedy Gonzales!!! Nice progress in an short amount of time. Those warriors are looking good.

Mmoving forward…
8363783638

Congratulations!!! The master made it!!

Love the skin & bloom shading - pops up quite well!

Orghotts Demonspew, work in progress.

The head is now setting the standard for the remaining mini.

The Orc Abomination is done - Next Saturday is "showtime"
http://www.coolminiornot.com/463405

83597

This Purple Demon Lady is a Blast!
Left a 10 for it on your gallery!

You might wanna add the "Halfling hot pot" to this army - I guess it would be a nice addon :-)

https://boardgametoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Made-to-Order-Halfling-Hot-Pot.jpg

@Mousekiller - took a moment to get this together.
But here we go (in general I only do PPT's for business purposes - nice to expand my horizon here :-) ).

Hope that helps you a bit to overcome...

@mousekiller: Happy to share - in what are you interested?

Another WIP: Zomicide Orc Abomination
83587
Playtime in one week from now… so feeling soft pressure;)

Small update from the nurgle factory:
83586

Thank you so much. Feeling flattered!
And indeed, Nurgle became definitely my comfort zone ;-)

The next unit is in progress. Update coming soon.

Awesome gang! Bad skin and bad corrosive metals!!!

Very nice work! :-)

Thanks mousekiller.
Here we go - the Poxbringer is done: http://www.coolminiornot.com/463073

83570
Yesterday, I primed the last unit of my Putrid Blightkings. Those will keep me busy within the...

OMG, that's a ton of work. How long do you have time to deliver that?

You designed a very impressive web-page. So adding technical skills to your already known sculpting and painting ones :-)

Thanks mousekiller. Was a nice experiment to do the blade of the Nurgle Lord.

Meanwhile - the pile of shame reduction measures are progressing.
Below the Ushabti Unit #1 is now done (the one on...

The next Zombicide evening is coming soon. So I paused the Warhammer stuff to insert wonderwoman:
http://www.coolminiornot.com/462777

83528

WIP is currently with some old Ushabtis, which were...

Grimdark! I need to take lessons how to do the grey-shading. Looking great!

The contrast on the blue looks really great.

Mr. Mouse, welcome back to the desk :-)

The unit is completed :)
So first milestone reached in 2022
http://www.coolminiornot.com/462532

Coming up next: Wonderwoman (Zombicide) and an old Ushabti are queued...

83463

Go ahead! We're hungry for more :-)

Thanks guys :-)
To your question Mike - nope - no 3D print.
All scratchbuild: Polystyrene, bitz, surfacer and a lot of basing material ;-)

Brutes in progress:

83413

Welcome back uncle BaM :-)
Orcs having the pox - is this a first sign, that the pandemic situation is influencing finally your armies? ;-)
You've really mastered that kind of sick-style on skins!

After finishing the Rogue Idol, I remembered a lot of Orruks, which are begging for attention in the closet. So I picked a unit of Brutes and decided on a new colour scheme.

Here's the first one:...

I like progress on the doggo. In general you're showing such a high skill on painting clear details; inspiring - as Gorb stated!

Thanks guys - appreciated. Indeed, the turquoise guys were my fav's as well in Radukar's court.
In the meantime I finished as the first project in 2022 a custom Rogue Idol... this task was already...

Happy new year Chris.
Wow - you've been quite productive the last days! That diver/mermaid diorama looks fantastic.
Looking forward to see this progressing further.

Few hours are left for 2021. Radukars Court is done :-)

http://www.coolminiornot.com/461920

83374

Voted for both. The mage is looking fantastic! :-)

Lord of Plague conversion = done ;-)
Merry Christmas everybody!

http://www.coolminiornot.com/461821

83356

Next conversion project. My personal Lord of Plague

83355

A nice project got finished meanwhile. One of my buddies is having a huge Zombicide collection, so we decided to paint up the characters, we're usually playing.
Here's my favorite: Johannes
...

Thanks a lot Chris - appreciated.
Last night I finalized this horrific tree: http://www.coolminiornot.com/461658

83340

Progressing…
83338

The remaining pieces of Radukars Court are on hold.
Did some bitz sorting the last days, which resulted in
a little kit bash project. This Nurgle Tree got born, excited
to put some paint on it:
...

Hot off the press the Vyarkos Blood-Born: http://www.coolminiornot.com/461387
So three guys left to finish up Radukar's court.

83316

Productive week. The Vargskyr just left the conveyor ^^
In my army he will be better known as "the albino"...
http://www.coolminiornot.com/461245

83310

Dank damp cave sounds awesome. I already see some gloss varnish giving a watery touch, moss attached to some stones... and hey - what about mushrooms? Maybe in the same kind of "glow in the dark"...

Wow... so this amazing piece was sitting for one decade almost finished on shelf. The only thing I'd recommend to do to the mini is to give its jewelery the same kind of used look, like you did to...

Thanks gents :-) Happy you like it.

The next member is finalized - Kosargi Nightguard - the other twin needs to wait in queue as I'm already progressing on the Vargskyr ...

Others might have just scrapped it - not you :-)
New project launched - staying tuned!!!

Nice progress on the green one. I like the creative basing :-)

Those are looking like directly coming from the EAVY-METAL factory. Awesome!!!

Thanks mouse :-)
Here we go - the first member is ready: http://www.coolminiornot.com/461144

Next in queue are the undead ogre twins.

83232

Allright - the boss is finished... now I gotta take care of his court: http://www.coolminiornot.com/460976

83197

Thanks mouse. The gang and their leader are part of the earlier in 2021 released new AoS Soulblight units.

Radukar the Wolf WIP
83196

Radukar an his Court.
Work ahead ;)
83195

Now it's finally done - while the flag-bearer was already finished in March 2021 - his other fellas were queued for a while.
Happy to count these now being finished. One more unit and the...

For terrain I'm taking wood glue (thick consistency) - put it onto the base and put sand on top - leaving it for a couple of mins (sand will sink into the glue) - then blowing towards the base to...

The barrow is completed http://www.coolminiornot.com/460693

@mowhawkman: The ground cover is lots of glue in combination with sand. Indeed - I like mushrooms. Have a selection here in my bitzbox...

oh, oops... so I misinterpretated that one already into your working queue :-P

Thanks guys! This Saturday I got my first match following the new rules of AoS.
The undead I‘m going to play are fully painted. I’m just missing a third tomb terrain.

work in progress…
83156...

The colour combination works great. I agree with Krulebear the green weapon is the eye-catcher here!

Where's the spider? Any update on this eight-legged nightmare? :-)

You're producing like a machine man! Those chaos beastman have a real nice "old school" touch.

The "rusty" pack is done :-)

http://www.coolminiornot.com/460536

83137

Wonderful project. Especially to point out, that it is own sculpted. That's so amazing!

Small update. The Nurglies needed to go back in queue…
In the box of shame I found some grave guards, which do
now have attention. Those rusty guys are progressing quite well…

83132

Boarding is completed. The Dire Wolves are done :-)
Next on the pile of shame... an since months unfinished Putrid Blightkings unit...

http://www.coolminiornot.com/460083

83112

Fyi: Those were the paints I used for the rotten ones

83099

Thanks Guawol :-) You made me curious, which flesh scheme is your favourite?

Nice start on the NMM practicing - keep going :-)

Just wow!!! Another incredible dio :-)

The blueprint is done: http://www.coolminiornot.com/459776

83084

@Kendarus: Thanks a lot for the link. I found the spider :-)

Seems to be OOP. What a pitty... this one would fit to my gobbo forces...

Thanks mousekiller ;)

I‘m staying focused on the undead forces.
Dire Wolves are next. The unit is primed and
the first one is in progress to become the
blueprint for the others:

83064

The spider looks lovely. From which manufacturer is it?

You're fast my friend. Very good progress for such a small amount of time.

Zombies! Assemble! .... I said "ASSEMBLE"... humm... those darn undead creatures are just doing what they want...
But at least they're doing it now painted up :-)

Hot off the press... now into...

Batch #3 the rotten pack is done!

Those skellies are just magnificent!

Very clean paint style!

Zombie colour schemes are set. 4x5

82944

It is amazing to see how many projects you're running in parallel. How do you manage this tremendous amount of work?
I'm jealous :-)

Thanks for the comments. As the majority of people I've asked were preferring the reds, I've set 4/10 with this scheme.
During the past weeks I had a hard job to get myself motivated to grab the...

Awesome progress - looks like you're in the flow :-)

Voted and comment left! Very nice work!

I really like the way, how you've integrated the terrain into the team's base.
Lovely work.

Thanks guys. You know... some times priority changes happen to a painter (really? never (!) ;-) ).
So I started with my deadwalkers and had a match with my Goblins few days after... detecting, that...

Stunning construction work my friend. I'm excited to see you putting paint on it :-) Gogo gadgetto brushes!!!

Nice work on these old school dwarfs!

Fear the walking dead!

82684

Nice blending on the cloak man!

Punctual with the shipping notification of my Soulblight order, I've finished this project.
Seems like the next thing I'm going to do is working on Zombies ... muhahahaha

Here's the Diggaz Worm...

The worm seems to be ready… the rider not yet.

82677

Thanks guys. You keep me motivated ;)

82665

These hours were well invested. The final product is just stunning. Wonderful work my friend!
Even knowing it is not yet finalized it looks ready :-)

Thanks for the useful hints. The magnifiers have arrived.
I decided for a model with changeable lenses, so I can
choose now between 1,5 - 3 magnification. The next eyes
will come…

Meanwhile...

So what is the best factor of magnification? I saw Donegan Optivisors with 2, 3, 6 and 7 as an option.
I'm willing to invest the 50 EUR, but would like to make sure, that I'm able to use it...

Tattoos and eyes looking very cool :-)
You set the scene!

Hi all,

many thanks for the feedback. Point taken regarding the eyes. I'm going to practice - I promise :-D
@Joce: Do you have any recommendation for a "magnifying lamp". It sounds like a thing...

Thanks Tiki... you made me smile. Yep there is indeed focus on big shields :-P

The mini is done: http://www.coolminiornot.com/456528
82477

My latest project in progress:
82473

Your tanks are looking amazing! Did you ever think about building a Cyborg bust with the same kind of materials? Something like a Terminator?
I could imagine, that this could be your kind of thing...

Thanks Chris.
Indeed that exposure thing was a hidden feature on my camera.
I tried it - results below are remarkable! Thanks for that hint ;)

Without:
82439

With exposure:
82440

Thanks Joce. Indeed I'm still doing experiments with the background of my pictures. For some the white is favorable... but not for all. So this is what happened to the 2nd pack of Blightkings ^^.

Thanks Mike. Indeed it has been a while ago, that I recognized you here. Welcome back.

Meanwhile - Nurgle is growing :-)
I've finished my third Plague Toad today. So the unit is no - finally -...

Thanks Chris, highly appreciated :-)

Now I was returning to my Nurgle pipeline.
The 2nd squad of Blightkings is done - more to come http://www.coolminiornot.com/456128

82395

And the creativity award goes to *rolling drums* Mr. Gorb :-)

Thanks Eki. It was fun to do this project. Now I need to think about, how she can be used in Warhammer ;-) I'm confident, that I'll find a way to bring her to the tabletop somehow.

The job is...

Thanks Dex.
Now at 90%
823388233982340

Very nice used look on the metals here.

They're not pretty, they're beautifully disgusting!
Blood, pustules, rust... we can truly see, that you're full in your elements :-) Great work!

Great progress on the Kong!
Echoing Gorb, the fur looks really great.

Great work on these eyes - makes me hungry for more :-D

Thanks Gorb.
Update on the Queen. Getting closer to the finish ;)

8231582316

Progessing. It’s interesting to do such a project
with only minor blueprints.

82241

Great work! And it is looking really huge. What size is it? 50cm x 50cm?

Inspired by Gorb, who is doing custom sculpts of movie Characters, I‘ve done a kitbash project:

821728217382174

It is the Esphenie queen, shown in the finals of „Falling Skies“:
82175

Thanks guys :-)
The mini is now finalized... now I'm facing high pressure to keep the level for the remaining unit ^^

http://www.coolminiornot.com/455568

82159

You did a good start on the NMM. But I hear you... the real artist is always most self-critical ;-)
Keep going my friend!

I'm really enjoying to watch your projects growing! Awesome work Dex!

If GW is searching for new mini-designers, you should apply!!!

Update:
82132

Getting started...
82106

Banner drafts...
I‘m tending to take the snake, as it might be more thankful
to paint (green colours) and will forgive small line errors.
What do you think?

82100

Thanks for the kind feedback Gorb! Appreciate it.

The last three evenings I spent in converting my fourth batch of Blightkings.
The banner will deliver an area for a flat freehand exercise. ;)
...

Done, following your advice Gorb (less vibrant)

http://www.coolminiornot.com/455321

82085

Next vampire in progress - a step in between finalizing the Blightkings... I couldn't resist to do the Vlad ;-)


82082

Awesome sculpting work (as usual). Do you have already some minis in mind, where those guns could be applied to?
Would be a pitty to put them into the Bitz box.

Thanks Gent's :-)
You're right... I might have chosen the wrong difficulty level to start with.
The suggest to go for flat things for training is pretty good, I'll do some paper tryouts prior to...

Great colour combinations here!
The latest picture is showing, that this one is much smaller than I initially thought.

Rework complete.
- Fine liner adjustments to the stars on the cloak
- rework face (esp. eyes)
- rework shirt (no more red/pink - just purple)
- rework hair including greyish/diluted turquise...

Face update. More alive, I hope ;)

82024

Hi Chris,

many thanks for that feedback - very helpful!

a) Point taken regarding the photos. Agreed... for Nurgle and Gobbos is seems like best fit to have a dark background... this differs...

Oh Lord... scoring below 6... made me decide to put other vampires back to shelf.
My freehand still seems to be too childish, ...

Back to Nurgle:
81995

Like you stated in my WIP - many things "almost" done. Take the hottest iron and get it through :-)

Nice work! And wanted to state, that I like your "artist-logo" :-)

Thanks Tiki. Trying to finish things, once I've started...
So the Vampire is now done: http://www.coolminiornot.com/455044

81993

Rework done.
You‘re totally right... the full moon seemed to be a Smiley.
Now it is more what I wanted it to look like.

I redid the bolts applying the technique you've suggested per link (very...

Update on the cloak. Any suggestions?
81968

Freehand training continues...
... took a vampire from the shelf:
81957

Thanks gent's ... trying to improve my freehand skills... but my slow hands seem to be on vacation :-P
The queen is done: http://www.coolminiornot.com/454767

Comment from my wife: Oh, that is...

Hey Dex, you can definitely compete with TenBall regarding the birdy.
You have done a fantastic job on this!

Hi guys,
I‘m doing a short Nurgle break and pushed a mini in, which was sitting for
a long time on shelf: The ice queen

Trying to practice a bit freehand. Here’s where I am so far:

81876

Incredible work on these eyes!

@Maxwin: Lol - me too ;-)
I was firstly thinking, that I've missed another movie ^^
@Gorb: As usual, you're proofing big scuplting skills!

Great work man!
That nurgling on the right end is too funny! What is he carrying? A bomb, a bullet?

Looking great! It reminds me somehow to the scarecrow in Batman begins ^^:
81871
http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAGsAAACCCAYAAABB9DZGAAAgAElEQVR4Ae3dX...

Wow! This is looking nice.

Moving things forward. 1/5 ready!

81856

Just "WOW!!!!"

Thanks gents! ;)
After that big guy I‘m now back to do battleline units. Btw... I'm proud to see him showing up today in the remarkables section.


The next batch of Blightkings is in progress:
...

Nice little band. To my mind the baby is the best painted of those.

Thanks Eki. I tried to keep that yellow colouring to clothes, as I did already for my Blightkings... so kind of "uniform" :-)

FYI: It was really fun to create a kind of "plagued tree". Sick at the...

The freehand work is marvellous, great job!

We‘re at 90% ... to be finished soon:
81742

Basic layers are done. The fun is about to start:

81736

Wow! You have really a slow hand. The dotted wing is stunning. I'm pretty sure, I would have messed it up ;-)

Glad to hear that you're back on the track. Take your time to recover! Painting might help here.
Having that said, taking a look at the blues - which turned out great! Looking forward to see more...

Little update. The Harbinger is done :-) http://www.coolminiornot.com/454294

81728
The tentacles needed to step back into the queue... one of my buddies provided me a kit-bashed great unclean...

I love the way how you did the eyes. If you put some varnish onto those, they're like real ones. Great work!

Yeah man! What a beautifully disgusting conversion :-)

You did a very lovely work with the Centaur's basing, I like that a lot!

Guys, thank you so much for the kind words and support!
Truly appreciated. Eki is totally right, I’m really enjoying
to make my Nurgle army grow :)

Current WIP: Kitbash Harbinger of Decay and...

@Tiki: Thank you very much.
@Kallfa: Very welcome, I'm happy to share ideas :-)

Your experiment was a success. The skin tones look very well!

Nice start on the pinkish mega-bobble :-D

Those rotten armours look beautifully disgusting!

Getting unfinished things done. Last night I decided to finish the terrain works on my AoP board 2020 - even if the competition didn't happen, I wanted to do a photo-shoot of the finished thing,...

As you and the provider are based in the UK, Brexit won't have any delay impacts. Keeping fingers crossed for a fast delivery.

Your pink bobbles look very nice my friend!
I guess this was the perfect "warm-up" for the big one?

Welcome to this place and a good start into your painting journey.
As you have been already working with smaller scales I'm convinced you have already enough practice to go for this ^^
And for sure...

Lockdown and no sports allowed, while you're having vacation? Here we go... let's get some paint to the minis ;-)

The Wurmspat is ready: http://www.coolminiornot.com/453936

81621

An own...

Thanks guys ;)
Yep... painting goes fast, if there is vacation and no need
to stop at midnight.

The eggs are fluo pearls are got for little money in a gift shop.
Combined with some white sand...

What a beast! And yep - confirmed, the parts fit together quite well for big pieces. And smaller gaps can be filled just by using the plastic-glue.
No more fixing with green-stuff or additional...

Nice work on Dredd! "I am the law!" :-)

That guy looks very grumpy ;)
You did very nice shading on the skin.

Welcome to this place. Do you have already an idea for the basing?

Welcome to 2021. Totally agreed... it needs to get better... 2020 best characteristic was, that we can take it as a bad example how life should not be.
Enjoy your new project :-)

Hi everybody - Happy 2021 :-)
The Glottkin is ready. Meanwhile I've used candy ink for tentacles and pustules. Thanks again to Joce :-)

Here he is: http://www.coolminiornot.com/453839

Progress! First experiments with candy ink.

I‘d say, that there’s some work in front of me ;)

Not sure, what I'm going to start next....

Such pretty work on skin, armour and horns... I love them!

This guy is giving me a hard time...
81535

I can imagine working at a hospital is currently quite tough. Resting during painting might not worke these days.
So take your time!
