Weapon of Hell

This is part of a much larger project and you have to start somewhere. So I'm focused on getting the sculpting out of the way. Which has been fun, my only problem is waiting for the putty to finally cure before adding the next layer. But on a near formless demonic stye, that can be used to your advantage.

Table Notes, Dec 2016

I'm always painting but sometimes that focus is spread across middle earth and deep space. The is week has been productive but I don't have anything finished to show for it. Many things started though and thos will yield its rewards when the time comes. So this time around I just wanted to show a single picture and show what I saw when it hit me that I need to focus in :)

This weekend I have some one on one coaching to do and then it's back to the grind, in a more focused way.

WIP Moonstone!

The second step of the butchers I recently finished is painting some Moonstone figures for the same dude. Baron Von Fancyhat and the firespitter, fun!

Finished! Haqqislam Hasassin Barid

While the putty was drying, this guy was painted up during last weekends paint jam. Another addition to the Haqqislam force! The Hassassin Barid Hacker with AD combat jump. Good but not really an exemplary set of skills in most factions but coupled with his high WIP of 14, smart missles get a lot more doable.

Weekend Paint Jam!

This weekend Tom and I road tripped down to Jeff's place in Chicago to do what we do. Paint jam!

We didn't have a particular focus for this one which was the theme in its own way. I had some projects that needed sculpting first and since I painted every Haqqislam model I own, I ordered one more figure to add to the force.

The chaos ensues! 

This time I brought along an shitty light box to capture progress shots of everyone's projects. I'd say it was an improvement.

I paced myslef on the sculpting by painting in between dry times. I really enjoy sculpting but takes a different measure of patience waiting for each step to dry before adding more.

The jam concluded and we each set out with a little more mmomentum behind our projects. It's been very conductive to set up these paint jams every few months. Fun!

Finished! Butchers Guild

Straight from the slaughterhouse and into your local sports arena.

This was a fun group of models to paint up. They are all to the same scheme but pack a lot of differences and roles on the field I suppose. Never played the game but I know you can have a mascot for your team and it can be a pig in bondage.

Or you can hire a gigantic bald man with the grace of a figure skater.

Finished! All the Kings men, part 1

I mentioned before that there was a larger project going on behind the scenes. Nothing crazy, just some tabletop that I didn't feel like posting about multiple times ha. This commission comes from the land down under and what I have finished is about a quarter of the total job. For sanity's sake I broke it up into installments. The first piece being 36 handgunners, 9 flagellants, 3 artillery, and one mounted general. Here's chapter one.
