Squiggies big thread of stuff*update 30, big*

[squig hunter]

Right, been a while since I started one of these, and I\'ve got a lot of stuff painted and in the process so this thread will take a while to load.

Main things will be;

*Empire army (currently on hold while I paint my GD entries)
*Vampire counts army (same as above)
*Commisions, painting and sculpting
*Various single miniatures
*Sculpting

Empire army, with a grand total of 9/138 miniatures painted! Big whoop!

Handgunner detachment;

Two greatswords;

Cannon crew;

Crazy bikerman wantsyou for a career in artillery crewmanship

Vampire counts, got quite a lot of these done so far, so happy with that, but painting bone is getting a bit dull, so after GD I\'ll probably do some more Empire.

Skeletons

Phew, that\'s a lot of pictures, well, more to come.

Spirit hosts, everyone seems to hate these minis, I know they\'re not particularily cool, but they\'re not that bad, surely.

Graveguard, almost finished this box of them, just the standard bearer and champion left to finish;

Ghouls, not the nices minis, not the funnest to paint by any means, but I think they came out bearably, The ghast is converted to be nibbling on that corpse BTW;

Enough Vampire counts? *crowd nods vigorously* Very well.

Some sculpts then.

Stowage and backpacks, these are to be cast, got the resin and molding silicone coming in the post.

Small stowage bags, usefull for *ahem* generic 28-32mm scale tanks and infantry.

Small stowage roll, usefull for tanks, yes, I know it looks like a toffee;

Backpack, suitable for 28-32mm scale infantry. Based of the American \"ALICE\" backpack

Smallish stowage bag, would go well on bikes, about 1 cm square;

Medium stowage roll, good for tanks;

Stowage sack, also suitable for tanks;

Now, the \"commision\" I\'m doing for liz. If anyone asks I\'m sculpting a sculpt from that picture she had, and she might or might not decide to buy it afterwards for a sum we definately have not decided on beforehand. Wow, I\'m a veritable lawyer.

Concept art;

Armtature;

Slight progress;

Zombie hunting clown (don\'t ask), will be armed with chainsaw;

...And that\'s all I can be arsed to upload here now, more later

C&C appreciated,
Squig

good stuff mate!

 

[Kaine]

Very nice, love the empire colour scheme.

Actually a very similar colour scheme on the undead, you could almost say the its the same army before and after being ripped apart by dark elves

 

[mattsterbenz]

Dang dude, that\'s a lot of stuff!

I absolutely love the ghouls. That skin texture is great! I laughed when I saw the coughed up blood on that one guy\'s base. Brilliant!

Sculpting is very nice too.

Keep it up!

[lizcam]

the mini you are doing for me is really good. Can\'t wait till it\'s done! i have some ideas for painting it already. :bouncy:

 

[Necroghast]

Love those Ghouls. How did you get the \"still wet blood\" effect over the snow? Gloss?

 

[squig hunter]

All the blood is done by mixing stage blood, some black and purple inks/paints, and some gloss varnish and applying

Thought I\'d take a look at my Daemons again, and am as such assembling a whole load of tzeenchy deamons. planning on assembling and undercoating a lot of horrors, flamers and a screamer before losing interest again and painting some more Cadians. So that when I get sick of those for a while, I have a load of assembled and primed minis waiting for me I have a bit of a habit of jumping between projects, so now I just try to include it in my planning lol
So did up a flamer, everything is pinned, and some convertions with GS flames on the mini and all over the base:

Also finished the eldar ranger mini for the woodelf commision, and Ariel is also close to completion, will do all the bases en masse at the end

And finally, finished another greatsword for my Empire army, and changed the grass to a more neutral shade (Faller autumn ground flock)

Ta,
Squig

 

[squig hunter]

No love? Aanyways, thought I\'d put this in too, a wee little Ad Mech servitor type bloke for a warband I\'m doing, trying to only use junk I have lying around for this, lol. Converted from a very shaved down (thank [nonspecific deity] for my handheld dremely thing) and GS, Procreate, some plasticard, bolter barrels, and some stiff wire.

Hope you like this, lol, C&C welcome,
Squig

 

[lizcam]

Lots of love actually. Maybe too much. I\'m jealous! How did a pip-squeak like you get so bloody tallented? <sigh>

Ari, I hate to point it out but you\'ve got some serious rough patches on that Eldar ranger.
Personally I like the idea of the woodgrain effect, but it\'s the lumps and bumps of paint in the white robes that are letting the rest of the figure down.

 

[squig hunter]

I can certainly see your point Mike, but I think it\'s caused by the primercoat the minis came in, hmm, I might try to smoothen it out a bit, but it\'s hardly noticable irl, and the client is really pleased with it

[hestan101]

mnnghhhhh.. ...The jealousy!! THE BURNING JEALOUSY!!!!!!!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!

 

[squig hunter]

Hehe, thanks Did some work for my Art project today, interior design, so as part of my thingie I\'m making an interior model of the house. Started with the top level, this is the concept I drew up, with one of the possible colour schemes (no, that\'s not supposed to be an animal skin print on the quilt, just a designery design thing )

¨

So here\'s where I\'ve got to so far, bed, floor, rug, nightstands and lamps contructed/sculpted so far, set out like it will be in the end.

And a closeup of the minimal furniture;

Bit different from the norm, but I hope you all like it anyway

Squig

 

[squig hunter]

Heh, noone seems to be interested in that Anyways, got some more of liz\'s #1 commision done, mostly finished the clothing, so there\'s the heads, arms and touchups left to do. The womans head was turned this way so I could sculpt it. I\'m rather pleased with that bit actually, it even looks like a woman, unlike my previous female face sculpting attemps lol
So yeah, most of the clothes were done in Super sculpy, and are a bit hard to see properly, even with the contrast turned up a bit. Hope you all like it so far

Ta,
Squig

 

[lizcam]

It\'s looking really good so far! Love the face. Can\'t wait till it\'s done!

 

[squig hunter]

You\'ve not had to wait long liz for \'tis finished The poses have changed a tad from the art, but I\'d have had to make the arms freakishly long otherwise. Rather pleased with it, although there are some rougher areas on it, but I think it\'s decent overall. Hope you like it liz

Pictures came out a bit weird, Sculpy is hard to photo well but I think you get the idea

Ta,
squig

 

[Amazon warrior]

That\'s come out nicely, Squig! They look like they should be canoodling in that bedroom you\'re making.

 

[ded2day]

I too am a fan of the ghouls. The woodgrain on the eldar/elf is also an excellent job.

 

[lizcam]

OOOO!!! My mini is done! It looks really good Ari! :flip::flip::flip:

My son, (the guy who drew the picture in the first place) loves it too. I can\'t wait to get my hands on it! I have plans! :bouncy:

 

[squig hunter]

Ta all

@Amazon Warrior, hehe, they do don\'t they, but the sizes are all wrong.

@Ded2day, Ta very much indeed

@lizcam, , Very glad you like it, and alex too

Aaanyways, converting up a Skitarii (read modified footsoldier) for my Ad-Mech warband. Still feel he needs \"something\" though, although mebbe that would be added when painted *hmm* And that\'s a hair by his nose, not a line in the putty

Oh, and looksee what I also boughted

Hehehehe
