A satyricon?

So
A quick run through of a Gnarlhorn Satyr today. He's a large lad as you can see with the comparison shot at the end. Middle figure is normal 28mm scale. That's how big the Satyr is in comparison.

Started with my typical gradient undercoat technique

I then put on the basecoats of all the colours. I used Vallejo Elfish flesh for the fur,tuscor fur for the leather and oldskool dwarf bronze for the armour. Horns done with army painter skeleton bone with a little off white for a change.

Washes applied. Army painter soft tone, GW old green wash and ogryn flesh on the horn.

I tried to get a fur texture going on the...erm...fur but I don't think it came out too well. Hair was black with some administratum grey and dark reaper highlights. Eye was my usual white with yellow wash with black dot for the pupil

And this shot gives you an idea of the scale. Yeah I'm working on some decent basing materials.

More Kickstarter madness

this looks to be a really nice set of Chaos type warriors. Its always good to support the smaller companies, so get to it.


Also a finished kickstarter by Antimatter Games caught my eye due to the models and a setting under the sea.

Bark at the moon

So

My car is currently in tiny little bits at the mechanic but hey..I get to drive a modded Audi 1.8v Quattro. Yuuuum

Back to the circle and here we have a warpwolf and a skinwalker.

Things to take into account here is that the really old GW ink is great for doing the green inlays. You can see the difference between the GW ink on the skinwalker and the new GW washes on the warpwolf.

God I love these models...

In other news I'm thinking about doing some work on converting some GW empire and dark elves into mini kingdom under fire based groups. Kingdom under fire being the pc to Xbox to when the hell are you going to release the next game....game. A mix of rts and dynasty warriors that I cannot sing the praises of high enough.

eBay is the root of all evil

So

I seem to have lost most of my bank account to this habit of mine. I think I'll certainly not be buying anything for a while but luckily I have a lot to work through...

So what do we have here?

Tharn Bloodtrackers x 6

Tharn bloodweavers x 6

Feral Warpwolf

Lord of the Feast

Satyr Gnarlhorn

Cygnar thingy x2

Stryker

Kromac the awesome 

Skorne Beasthandler and Paingiver

Autumnblade

Woldwarden

Skorne faction book

Whew, too much too soon too expensive. Thats all I can afford for a couple of months, and hopefully you'll see them being painted up over the next couple of months. I hope to find somewhere to actually play this damn game at some point.

Anyway

Today I've mostly been painting a khador widowmaker..I never quite understood why the studio paints them in red and black if they are snipers in a snow covered area, so I painted her in white, a colour I'm not comfortable with. I went for the grey to white highlight layers, looks okay but half finished.

I'm coming to the end of my wonderful holiday so i'll try and get PSkarre done tomorrow after doing a bunch of basecoating, so I'll see you on the flipside.......

It's the circle, the circle of me ripping your head off with werewoooolvesssssss. hmm doesn't quite work with the music

Heya

So while I do love my roboskeletons from hell, when it comes to Hordes (Warmachine's more bestial brother) I took one look at the lists and....bought a bit of everything. Seriously though as far as actual factions go there was only one real choice


Circle of Orboros...no not Oroboros (though it's similar in concept and sadly there is no Wesker screaming about Total Global Saturation tm.)

So why the Druids? Well apart from the fact I'm very much on Team Jacob? ( he's the werewolf dude who never wears a shirt aye?) well these Druids are bastards who will happily wipe out humanity to keep the planet safe. They go for the long view and a such there are acceptable losses and means are fine so long as the end is there.


Plus there are werewolves.

Man, Krueger's cape gave me nightmares due to the poor lighting in my room. I literally spent about 6 hours on this dude, a good 2 on the cape and ols (?) alone. Will probably redo him when I get an actually handle on all this..,though I think my wet blending of the erm skirt? Worked well.

I thought he looked dumb just hovering on the ground so I whipped up a custom base from tissue paper, pvc and super-glue. I had hoped to do something a bit more..oomph..y...but I ran out of time and ability so I just went with a rock. S'okay but he looks like he's on the deck of the titanic as its about to go down. Still that lightning effect is pretty cool from a distance eh?

Quick note, nothing at e3 about the Warmachine video game which is a shame. Hopefully we'll hear something soon but the trailer on YouTube pretty much sums it up.

edit: bring on the wub wub.
