Hi folks, Well i have been asked to come on a tournament in April down south, so i decided to take deathwing as i have been wanting to get this force sorted out for a while and needed the impetus, so this was it. Its a pretty standard force, 2K, belial, DW command squad, Deathwing knights, 4 *...

Making progress after finding the painting mojo again after a bout of illness. Dug out the box of GK that were mocking me, and armed with my W&N #7's i set too. The completed Stormraven came out well, and was the first to set the colour tone for the force, i prefered a darker colour steel, so...

Hi folks, For the last few years i have pretty much exclusively been using Winsor and Newton #7 brushes for my mini's and am very happy with them. I got them when a large Hobbycraft opened up in Aberdeen and had an impressive range and i saw them by accident and had heard good things. However...

Hi folks, Was reading a thread on warseer about white dwarf (oh the lamentations), anyway, it was mentioned about a couple of magazines that are good for painters and Ravage was mentioned. I had a look at the mini pages in the CMON shop and it looks a good mag, however ordering from the States...

Hi folks, I have not been on my blog for a while as i have been having a bit of a bad time of it with my Cronh's disease and not had the impetus to paint. However over xmas i bought myself the GW ultimate paint set, finally GW have released a paint set that tidies away easly and is easy to...

Hi folks, Well it went well, got a finalist pin, which was my goal, so stoked the fires to go again next year, with more entries! Duel entry - Didnt place, but got a lot of positive comments from people who were photographing it and talking to friends etc, so people must have liked it...

Hi folks, well i have lots going on at the moment, and instead of having specific WIP threads i thought i would just have a running blog like a few have on here. As I've been off this week been working on a few things, mainly my Grey Knights force and a few specific projects. Dark Vengance...

Well it was a great day, Golden demon saw a lot of lovely entries, my main entry didnt make first cut, but the one i took as a wild card got a finalist pin, and eavy metal painters said i am creating some lovely stuff. Bought far too much FW stuff, but well worth it in the end. Main result of...

Well as i am off this week i am working on my Grey knights force, i have only painted one terminator at the moment to use as a test for the scheme. However i started work on one of the HQ Inquisitor Coteaz, using real metallics, almost finished, will be Kaldor Draigo next. Hope to get...

Was working on this for another forum and tonight Kinda spiraled out a bit here (on medicinal steroids, insomnia is an issue!), been at this guy since about 7pm, its now 1am..... Went a bit mad here, added chipping and some weathering pastels, though the light was too close and you cant see...

Well after a good few months i have finished my Duel entry and an looking forward to taking it to GD in 2 weeks. Its been a great learning experience and i have pushed myself where i didnt think i would.

Well the golden demon entry is almost finished, with lots of help from some very nice folks on the forum (avelorn). I have started working on the Grey Knight army i mentioned a few blogs back, just undercoated and sand\slate basing at the moment, but looking to be cracking on with this when i...

Hi folks, Bit of an issue, my annual sub failed due to expired card. I renewed the info and set sub for every 3 months. All was well but now I just noticed I am being asked to upgrade now. Is anyone else having their premium status turned off?

Completed the base apart from tidying the sides that will be black. Composition looks good, i was aiming for having the figures the draw to the eye, so the base is muted and enclosed, this is more in line with the duel rules as i read them, and as a first attempt i hope the composition draws...

Here be updates! I have completed the bulk of the farseer and added the components together. The green band on the staff arm is GS to fill in where i joined the staff, it will be painted red to match the cloth\armour. Few bits n bobs to finish on him like shading and some colour on the...

Well i am working away on the other half of the duel, the farseer. I have gone for a predominantly red scheme to give a good sense of two opposing forces. Hopefully it will stand out a bit. This is what i have so far: Will be working on the head and staff later this week. Then its the...

Well after some tips on the forums etc, i have changed my design a bit. The farseer is now facing the other way round, with the cloak blowing away from the force of the lightning, i also re did the hand more upright and splayed. The librarian is a totally new figure, using the arms from the...

Hi folks, i thought i would run a WIP thread about my first ever GD entry. Any comments and such would be welocme, constructive, critical or just a comment is all welcome. The plan is to have a librarian and a farseer from GW fighting with lightning and a psychic block. I felt it was quite...

Well last night was the start of my trip to golden demon 2012. After a bit of a false start where my base design was wrong for the rules, i have got my design laid out and the plinth and base size defined. Models laid out (Place holder GK for farseer). This is a Duel entry, looking to get...

Hi folks, I have started work on my entry for the Duel category at this years UK GD. I have read through the rules of each entry, and it states that the models should be based on a 40 or 50mm base. However my design is a bit unique and the method of fighting between the 2 combatants lends...
