The Shades of Gore

Today's plan is to get some time in on a character that is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. None other than the Iosan bad boy himself Goreshade the Bastard. I'm going to be putting together a small Cryx force in the next couple months. Mainly for the heck of it, I just need a reason to paint legions of the undead. The Trollbloods still have my heart but I'm taking a small departure from the blue to add more color to my display cabinet.

Here's Goreshade in a very primal state. The idea is to use colors that are rotten yet beautiful.

Starting this guy means I'm calling the boarding marine done :) Here's a little preview of his cool blueness. I should have him up and running tomorrow so cross your fingers.

Break it up Break it up Break it up, Wreck-age!

Three new drifters from Wreck-age :)  As outline in the last post I'm sticking to the agenda. No more dilly dallying! I could write plenty but you wouldn't read it anyway, kidding..On with the pictures!

The Agenda

With a fresh shipment from Wreck-age and a personal project nearing completion I have my work cut out for me. I'm hoping to get this motley crue based, primed, and fully prepped this afternoon. The sculpts from these guys just get better and better. I know it's a fuzzy picture but stick around as they near completion to get a closer look.

Last night was spent like many Wednesdays, happily tinkering away at the Fire for Effect Games headquarters. I made some progress on the model that belongs to the base I put up a couple posts ago. A show only Forgeworld piece. Like I said, not done yet but here's where he is at the moment. Almost there :)

Finished! Master Librarian Ezekiel

After a couple snowed in days after the holiday break I gave birth to Ezekiel, Grand Master Librarian of the Dark Angels. This is the second time I've painted this character and he's still hot. It might just be me but I think he really grabs that knightly look of the Space Marines.

With the upcoming Dark Angels release I sent him off the wilds of E-bay. Happy bidding!..Or what I really mean is, make me happy and bid.

Finished! Blood Angels Furioso Dreadnought

One down two to go. This is part of a LARGE commission from a way back. Slow and steady. There is still a Librarian and a Death Company dread on the way...Then five tanks.. Once I have them all done I'll commence a little freehanding :) Here's where I'm letting this guy sit until the others are at the same line.

Blood for the Blood God? Naw, for the Emperor.

More IG on the way

I wanted to post a quick update on "project meatshield" as I've dubbed it. The meat is prepped and now it's time for some airborne reinforcement. It came in the form of two Valkyries. This was a new one for me, I haven't painted a model airplane in decades. Fun! It has me fired up to maybe follow through with the vehicle entry I have planned for Gamesday 2013.

I've also been putting together another little something for next year's events. So far so good.

Stay tuned in the future as I wrestle with Nemeroth and who knows what else. Too many things on the table to count :)

Finished! Ogre Kingdoms Tyrant

All painted and ready to slaughter/eat.

Another piece for the gallery. Next he'll be making his way to Texas. This was a very captivating project for me. The additional level of sculpting and then painting has been an enjoyable process. My next single model project is of a similar process. This time I'll be trying to replicate a character, Nemeroth, from the space marine video game.

But not before finishing off that meatshield know as an Imperial Guard Detachment...Today's project, more on them soon :)
