Happy New Year

Well I wanted to have an update for you today but unfortunately I can't get the shades/washes to dry quick enough so it's going to have to be tomorrow.

Well it's the end of 2012, a year which saw me finally pull my finger out and get on with painting the Krieg. So much so as I have started the DA project. And here's to 2013 being ever more paint filled and with luck, game filled.

So, I'm off out for New Years, to celebrate an arbitrary date and time and consider it celestial demarkation. Hope you all have a lovely and safe New Year and come back tomorrow for an Angelic update...

Warhammer 40,000 First Game with the Krieg

Evening all,

Well, it's been a while since my last update. So where have I been, what excuse for my laxity in posting?

They say a picture tells a thousand words. This is of course bollocks, but I can't be arsed writing much so here comes a few pics.

I first left to North Yorkshire, to my GF's mother's house, and saw two cats;

Then left for Nottingham; CenterParcs to be exact.

Squizzel.
Then, onwards to Warhammer World;
Fell in love with this, grot looking down the barrel of a gun, what could go wrong.

Will, Bert and Tom.

White Council.

On a cart.

Absolutely awesome! WFB 'gargant' utterly wicked. Loved it.

Rictus' Blight Drone, really liked it and also wanted to show how well the tree worked.

My force arrayed, defending the all important diet-coke.

Wanted a lift home in this, but apparently the driver was on his break.

Well, exciting week, for me, less so for you lot. And, as it is now the 23rd of December, and the Feast of Saturnalia, Mithras and some other fella called Jesus is upon us in less than 48hrs, I am afraid no more updates until eating has ceased and drinking has become difficult.

For more pictures of the 'games' head over to Recalcitrant Daze as it appears Rictus was a lot more attentive at photographing the actual game than me...

Rounds Complete - Krieg Mortar Teams finished

Whatcha,

I must admit I'm dissapointed with the casting quality on these models, some of the areas such as faces/masks and things have come out quite badly after painting which I'm annoyed about but nevermind.





Anyway, next I think I'll be onto the DA again. Going away at the end of this week but we'll see whether I can squeeze in another update prior. I'm off for a glass of Bordeaux and to contemplate life.

Krieg - Trojan and Earthshaker Complete

Evening all,

The Trojan and Earthshaker are finished. The crew were completed and shown in an earlier post.




Front left hand wheel is on the piss which is irritating as I fixed it twice and seems to spring back to that position. 



Anyway, thanks a lot everyone. Hope you like them.

Krieg - Artillery Piece and Trojan WIP/PIP

Evening all. This is what I've been working on,

Krieg Trojan and Earthshaker. Unfortunately I've run out of White Spirit, so am unable to totally finish them until I have bought some. But, I've done most of the detailing that I can, there will be another round of detailing after the oil painting stage then I shall update again with myriad pictures for you.





Once oils are added you will see a new depth and a few extra colours. They look rather bland at the moment.
