Thanks Meph, wait till you see what i did to the rest of that squad. I'll post it later.
This update just consists of working on the wings of the nurgle prince. I made the pins for the wings extra long so i could set them up and sculpt them up to the position i wanted.
The left wing is done but i got to do the right one in these two pics
both sculpted and set.
My main concern was having them look like they were ment to be there. i think i pulled it off. i'll know for sure after i finish it and put a coat of primer on it.

its been a few again 
OK this update covers a lot of stuff. first off squad 4 is done pretty much.
Had these havocs laying around so i did them up probably wont use them for a while since i already got the special weapons for the other squads set already. was a decent kit, wish GW still made it.
squad 2
squad 1
Squad 3. after looking at these guys i went ahead and converted them and heres how they came out.
flamer guy 1
flamer guy 2
normal squadmates
AC
When y'all see these guys again they will be in the first stages of painting as i will primer them today and maybe get them basecoated. I haven't decided what i'm doing with their bases yet but i do know the ones they are on arent going to be used. I'll figure something out later.
On a completley different note i started working on a few malifaux mini's. The witchling stalkers in the Sonnia Criid box. They kept jumping up and down screaming paint me so i couldn't help myself.
Basecoat
first highlight
second highlight
final stages for the robes unless a frog jumps out of my ass and tells me to go farther with them.
Hope everyone has a Great Holiday !

Small update again. Put a head on my deamon prince, no pics cause im not sure if it is going to stay there. worked on a Battletech atlas for a friend....i hate this model. but its almost done. He wanted a blue one, soooo.....
base coated lilith and her crew, gong to make her into a red naughty devil ;-) pic sucks but the first coats in red
When i was looking for my cameras i found this guy. He was a wizard in my first army evah from like 15 years ago. pics sucks really need to find my camera's....
and finally something useful for everyone perhaps. As i was painting up the atlas, Kirai and her crew from the malifaux game was staring at me. I told her "i cant paint you yet i dont know what the color scheme will be". I then looked over at my tooth-pic box. Then back at the box she came in. BAM, it hit me. easy cheap Bamboo base time!
first i grabbed one of the bases and slapped a little green stuff on it.
Next i grabbed a few toothpics
started cutting them in various lengths to cover the base all nice and stuff. If you use snips keep in mind they are beveled and you may have an angled cut on one side, at least that's how my snips are.
finished
OMG! they are breeding !
I put Kirai on one to see how it would look (ignore the base she is on that was for primeing purposes)
Well her crews bases are done.....too bad i'm painting her crew probably last.
Anyways cheap and easy and best off all they didn't take very long to make.

Thanks a lot meph !
Small update again, i havent done much last two days other then read and spend some time with the lady. Anywhoo i finished the titan (as far as im going with it cause i hate this model) and slapped a base together right fast. Overall i dont think it looks too shabby for a model made 20-25 years ago.
Base coated the plague marines
first layer of paint on squad one
That's it for now, more in a few

Long time no update. Sorry but between the ebil work monster, the ebil life monster, and the ebil ladies i have not posted much. whole lotta ebil goin on ya know? I haven't totally slacked off on one of my loves but i have changed direction on them as of late. My 40k is kinda on the wayside for a bit but i have other stuff to show off to whomever is interested.
first off there is a whole lotta wyrd going on at my place!
I'm further along on those and i have 5 more box sets unopened with more on the way as i write this. I'm really liking this game and their mini's are IMHO above average in quality. The game itself is daunting at first, but once you get a few games in you start to see the streamlined strat-fest that can develop and how simple it really can be. Their few resin pieces though have left me uninspired and unimpressed. Not that they sucked, or anything just not as much detail i was expecting from something resin. Overall their community seems top notch too.
Anywho onward to other things....
a little something reaper
another something reaper, i absolutely love this model. I have 3 of her but this is the first i shall be painting.
And something darksword the one on the left anyways will be the one i finish
YES i'm STILL using my phone cause i'm too lazy to get out my good camera's but i will do that this weekend(i swear). anyways as i was in a hurry to paint these up for some friends i don't have much for wips, but got alot of finished pics. this is also the first time ive done anything in types of pink. Overall i think i did well and seriously the pics leave off sooo much of the details it's not even funny. Alot of you folks know what i'm talkin bout so no need saying it again. Enjoy!
these are pre-sealing so they are kinda shiny. AFter some army painter matte sealer it was all goodness, love that stuff.
after sealer
I know some of the last pics are kinda dark, i'll try to correct this in the near future.
Questions, comments, suggestions, i'm ok with it all. The owners of said mini's were very impressed so i'm happy

Update time. Been a while i know...
I have not been idle ! As such i normally make a mess. anyone else get their work area lookin like this when they are working on a bunch of stuff?
So like i said earlier i started getting into the whole Malifaux thing and i ended up buying just bout every crew box there was and then i decided to put most of them together and get their bases ready.
the aftermath:
after i got then cleaned up i decided i wanted to paint something up from start to finish but wanted something easy so i wouldn't have to spend alot of time on it.
SO BEHOLD ! my first completed malifaux mini's
Hehe those will be objective markers for 40k and malifaux just cause they look cool
Next i started working on my Teddy mini. In alot of reviews i have read about this mini, most people say that the mini seems flat at first. Well, they are right. First thing i thought when i opened the package was that it was one flat mini. However after clean up and priming and getting some paint on it, it really does seem to come "pop out" so to speak.
But before i get further into that i would also like to say something about wyrds custom bases. They are the bomb! Easy easy clean up, easy to paint up and really looks nice. So i got some for just about every crew i got (not all), as they are also a HUGE time saver as well. Everyone knows that the dice gods favor the better painted armies, so i figured Lady Fate, would favor my flips if my models were on the Wyrd bases
Teddy is probably going to be used with two seperate crews so i put him on an orphanage base to match my pandora and dreamer orphanage bases and hers how that turned out:
so i started on teddy...what color to go with?..well pink seems to be the thing i been trying lately and he would kinda fit in better with the pandora set as im using alot of pink with her crew.....
Yall may have noticed that the "wip" part of the wip log kinda goes from start to finish. I am trying to break that habit but once i get started on something it turns into a whirlwind of ideas and doings. So stopping to take a pic doesnt always happen. Sorry. Kinda.
I wanted his belly to say something. At the time i wasn't sure what, so i searched around the net and found some cool ideas on coolminiornot but I didn't want to permanently borrow anyone elses idea. I just couldn't get over that mouth full of nasty teeth and then i got the idea.
When playing most people will be seeing the mini from the angle of that photo, so i did the eyes the way i did for that effect. So the person i would be playing would have the idea that the mini was looking at them. but for the naysayers here is a full frontal shot!
I gotta say that is one sexy bear that's going to eat you alive in a very none sexy way!
I got a few touches left on him but for now he is 95% done. This mini has ALOT of flavor and its one of the top ten mini's that drew me to malifaux in the first place. The number one mini will be finished this week (i think) and to me its awesome! But yall will have to wait.

Hi Moe! Wow! You've really got some cool stuff going. I love your conversions and your painting is definitely improving almost with each post. Love the maroon dress!
I had to chuckle, when you first posted your work area - I was jealous. lol! I would love to have one that organized. Then I saw the most recent pics - NOW it looks like mine.
Great job! Keep up the good work!

@marjedi To be totally honest the only actual games i have played have been with my girlfriend and the most complicated game till that point she played was monopoly. There are some game shops within an hours drive of me but till i get some more stuff painted up, and figure out my new work schedule next month i'm not driving. I have read a ton of reviews and watched alot of games on you tube and what sold me the most on the game was the vids. There really weren't that many games that seemed one sided. In fact i only found one where one guy just wiped out the other. In fact id say 70 percent of the vids i watched got down to the last round with the last few plays left in the game that decided the winner. There was one game that was literally down the last flip of the card on the last round on the last mini's turn. That was the one that sold me most. So the mechanics are sound and daunting at first but once you start trying stuff it really does just smooth together into a fluid stratfest of luck and skill (imho). Either way i was going to buy some of their stuff cause most of the mini's are just too cool. If you love the style and love to paint just try one and see how you like it that's what i did ! I can also attest that their customer service is above and beyond as well if that makes a difference.
@Meph Thanks man, that's just what i was lookin for
@Kathrynloch Thank you very much. Yeah the work area goes from neat and tidey to absolute chaos and back all the time. My girlfriend is amazed at me when i can tell she moved something or used something and didn't put it back even when its all messed up, but i couldn't tell you where the cheese is kept in the fridge, i gotta search for a while. I absolutely love your new sig btw, i cant clicky on it though. One of these days when i figure out the whole interwebznetcloud thing i might have one too!
Quick update.
Originally i had planned to put Rasputina and most of her crew on cake pillars, then i later changed my mind. I'll do it, but another time. Now i needed something ice/snowlike and i didnt have anything at the house and i really didnt want to screw around too much on her crews bases. So based on a review i read about dragonforge bases i decided to to give them a whirl as they were affordable and the reviews i read were all good. So i got em and started painting them up.
BTW, the reviews were spot on, they had almost no resin bubbles at all, flash was almost none existent and the dimensions were spot on. When i buy something resin thats the way they should be imho. Their customer service was outstanding as well. I purchased more then i needed to convert them a tad for another crew in the distant future that wont look ice like.
Here they are with the 3 gamin and the golem. i think they look pretty good for no conversioning done to them.
Since im on the subject of bases i painted up lord chompy bits base, although its not done all the way (this is a wip after all, right?).
When i figure out exactly how i'm going to do it there will be a kid with some cake on the base later. Not sure if he will be alive and sceered or dead yet.....

lol! You're welcome! I'm the same way over here. My husband can't believe I can go straight to an item when my table is a disaster. It's an "I know where everything is" disaster.
And thank you! So glad you like the sig. Logonerds.com came up with the company logo and the banners. I'm an artist but I'm not a graphic artist. While I can get the elements of logos and banners, putting them all together is where I get stuck. Although I was a little annoyed with them when they sent me the first concept. The web banners had this funky painted owl and some WWII miniatures in it. They weren't painted all that great. I was like - you really expect me, an artist who paints this stuff, to put someone else's painted work in MY banner??? I don't think so! They're supposed to be artists or at least have a grasp of the general concept, so I was surprised. Anyway, after I told them hell no, I sent them a bunch of my pics and they were able to use those.
But I don't have the clicky thing tied in yet. I just purchased the warhorseminis.com domain and am working to get the website up and running but it's lower in the pecking order right now so it's slow going. So it's not you! lol! I just don't have it up and running yet.
Dragonforge bases rock! I love ordering from Jeff. He used to hang out here quite a bit but haven't seen him around as I'm sure the biz takes up most of his time. But every base I've ordered from him has been great quality and he ships promptly.
I like how you did the ice! Very nice! My suggestion for those would be to add a small amount of gloss brush on sealer to a couple of spots - that way you'll have areas that look wet.

Thanks Moe! And I've got some stuff up on the site now (not much) and the clicky thing in my banner even works. lol!

I saw that! Thank you very much, Moe, I really appreciate that. Now I've just got to sort through what I want and how I want to do it. lol! I've always enjoyed working on websites, video, blogs, and whatnot but not at the expense of my painting. Not enough hours in the day!
