Preppin and steppin'

Adepticon is 4 days away. I want to say I can't wait but I do need just a little more time. I've finished off all kinds of new goodies for the dudes at WreckAge and now it's on to one last Crystal Brush entry. Kyra'a is almost finished. About one more day and I should have her stashed away to be ignored in my cabinet.

I'm also still entertaining the fantasy of have a good Trollbloods list painted up. No time for the whole unit but this one Son of Bragg should suffice as a fell caller. We'll see if he gets paint before friday.

Seedy Drifters

Just a quick one here. I wanted to show off the finished Drifter Warband for WreckAge, who will be at Adepticon in full force :) Love those guys.

Sweatin' at the Wreck Room

Pun intended. Working on more fine minis for the men at WreckAge. The Swarmlord is finished but I think I'm going to enter him in the Crystal Brush coming up. Maybe, since half your score comes from online voting, posting pictures of him beforehand wouldn't be right? I don't know so I'll do nothing. 

Here's the current project:7 models to compose the Drifters starter pack. The first three models, shown below, are the core members. There is also a beast handler with a boar and two stitchmen.

They aren't quite complete as you can see but nearly there.

Today I'll be picking out the beast handler and his boar.

More to come so stay tuned!

WIP Swarmlord pt 2

I kicked him off with a little touch from the airbrush over the last weekend. He was started with an ivory and brown basecoat so the reds didn't become too pink looking. Once the red was applied I added increasing amounts of purple and black to the mix. This was followed up with a wash of baal red and some pinning he's ready for some brush work :) more to come.

Finished! Goredshade the Cursed

Finally done :) I grabbed as many of the rare and coveted spare moments and now he's ready to sit on my shelf!..Yeah! All the beautiful shades of gore in living color.

Coooooolmini

WIP Ky-ra'

I swear I've spent the last 3 days building bases but more on that later. While I work on the Swarmlord I'll also be avoiding burnout by working on a project for myself. As the title suggests it's Ky-ra' from Kabuki Models, a funny name but a great sculpt. Who doesn't love Frank Frazetta anyway?

Here she is before any paint. I wanted to show the bare pieces to give an idea of how it came together. The stone wall was made with milliput and attached by a thin sheet of plasticard on the back. A small divit for a cutaway of a puddle was carved into the front with my teeth. 

I want her to have the complexion of a red head. Very pale, freckled, and soulless. The basecoat was consequently made of very pale skin tones with some pink and violet. This will be covered completely by brushwork but will serve as a good guideline of contrast to follow.

WIP Tyranid Swarmlord

Starting from the ground up. A suitably ruined pile of ruins.

The main body and all the gaps it holds are nearly ready for priming :) This should be a good one, I love gore and H.R. Geiger and here we will see components of the two develop so stick around. This bug is going to be a beauty.
