What's in progress?

These are the next models waiting for paint.

Standard bearer (or vulture skewerer)


Badass champion (and badass picture)


Hornblower


Front rank lad


and BSB (on foot and on boar)

Second orc unit

To please my gaming friends, I have decided to paint front ranks only until all my units are painted in this way (or "somewhat" painted). Then I will return to each ranked infantry unit to paint flanks and rears. Otherwise, odds are high that job, wife and life prevent you from painting more than one or two units. In this way, I will not get bored with units either. So, its a win-lose-win situation.

This is the first orc of my second unit of orc boyz painted in Vallejo colours. It is a Rackham model (as 20 out of 25 models in the unit also are) and I am trying colour schemes and a new skin painting technique. It is not quite finished. I have to tone down the armour a bit and paint the dagger hanging in his belt and dothe base, but I am quite pleased with it.



It is an amazing model and the Rackham sculpt is so clean it is a pleasure to paint it.


Notice the little lizard snack.



This orc has seen battle before.

Two great improvements

I have abandoned and returned to GW, which has drastically improved my painting speed and quality. For colours, I have started using the Vallejo paint range, finding the bottle design and colours vastly superior to GW:s standard colours. However, a purchase of the new Foundation Paint Adeptus Battle Grey has provided me with an excellent base coat for my "grayskins".

Wolf riders

Hello master, at last I am satisfied with your wolf riders, and it took me a long time and a lot of fiddling around to finally agree with the "goblin" colour. Now it is almost, but not quite, Dead flesh in the final highlight but I kept some grey in it to prevent them from looking too much like zombies or too green.

Without any further ado, here they are...




Looking for prey (or "escape routes eeeeh alternative flanks we mean")


Drummer (from Dragonrune Goblin Command Group)
