Happy Halloween!

I didn't have much time today, but I managed to paint up a little Halloween guy for themed event.

He is from Massive Darkness.

A Leader and a Saint

Two of the main villains for my next DnD session.

The purple one was inspired by the bonemen in the Soul Cairn in Skyrim.

Three Skeletons

Three Skeletons for Halloween creepiness. Part of a Shadespire warband.

The Horde Complete

The largest Warhammer Underworlds warband is finished in time for Halloween!

The Cook

Orktober Lay Dee Boyz: The Viking

With Halloween and Orktober both within the month I decided to work on my Shadespire team. Like many I get a little tired of GWs lack of female models, so for fun I have turned my Shadespire war band into an all female cast. These Lay Dee Boyz appreciate human beauty and aspire to mix their alluring visage with sheer brutal force. 

Vigga Thomine is the fearsome leader of a ruthless warband in the arctic wastes of Tralan. Her flaming axes keep her warm even in the harshest nights.

The Harvester

Zarbag from Zarbag's Gitz Warhammer Underworlds Warband, with an alternate colour scheme.

The Squigs

Pumpkin Goblins

My Halloween Warhammer Underworlds team.

Zarbag's Gitz but in an alternate colour scheme.

Spiritfolk Priestess

Easily the most ridiculously posed figures I have ever painted. This figure is from the Raging Heroes range. I was going to use her as a Herald of Tzeentch but now she is a spiritfolk Priestess for Dnd.

Nurgling Stack

Marisa took a liking to the Nurglings while I was working on My Armies on Parade entry. She painted up this wonderful stack and I based it.

Ballzak

Ballzak the Minotaur is one of Marisa's characters in DnD. Bodyguard to Yvain and an honourable warrior of his homeland.

His figure is from Massive Darkness and was a joy to paint.

Orktober Lay Dee Boyz: The Pirate

With Halloween and Orktober both within the month I decided to work on my Shadespire team. Like many I get a little tired of GWs lack of female models, so for fun I have turned my Shadespire war band into an all female cast. These Lay Dee Boyz appreciate human beauty and aspire to mix their alluring visage with sheer brutal force. 

Roxi "Da Bomb" Tush, was once one of the most cutthroat pirates of Santi. When the Royal Fleet came to stamp out corruption in the merchant kingdom, Roxi fled and left her crew to take the fall. Now she roams the open seas around the seven isles looking for worthy allies and to sink anyone else.

Orktober Lay Dee Boyz: The Geisha

Like many I get a little tired of GWs lack of female models, so for fun I have turned my Shadespire war band into an all female cast. These Lay Dee Boyz appreciate human beauty and aspire to mix their alluring visage with sheer brutal force. 

Each is a warlord in their own lands. This is Gima Mami from Yagura. She likes singing, dancing, writing poetry and cutting people up!

The Sgt and his men

Today I finished the last scout and the Sgt. for my client.

Scout Snipers

Three Scout Snipers for my Dark Angel Commission.

11 "Basic Bikes"

Recently I was commissioned to paint 11 Dark Angel bikers. I followed the given scheme, but as the title suggests this is my basic rate work for clients, just good enough for the table top.

Carnival for the King: Armies on Parade 2018

Today was the big day of Armies on Parade 2018. It is the first time I have entered the competition and I made my board within 3 weeks of the deadline, along with getting a new job. Time constraints were tough but it was great fun.

Thanks to Ben who runs the Games Workshop in Bromley, I decided to enter the show this year. Having received the new Kill Team boxset as a gift from a client for my work, I decided to go with a Nurgle Carnival theme.

Being tight on cash I decided to make the scenery myself. The carousel was made from a box, a pencil, glue and green stuff. I used spare nurglings from a box of nurglings I never built from a long time ago to decorate it.

The petting zoo was made from an old fish tank coral, which I glue gunned a little on and painted up in a lurid way to match the rest of the show.

While the Freak Show, Magician, Fortune Teller and Ringmaster all are standing on painted boxes.

Finally the King Himself was my birthday gift from Marisa for my 30th birthday. He is still one of my favourite models and painting him was a real treat.

Next year I shall enter it again but with more time and a greater vision. I was inspired a lot by what I saw and narrowly missed out on Best Theme.  It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to next year.

Undead Champion

I chopped off the Khorne insignia on his helmet to make him a generic buff enemy for the heroes to fight in DnD. 

I was inspired by my pal Kostas' Barbarians, in which he had done the same. I decided though to make this one undead and have his stomach a portal to his home plane. He uses it to feed his victims into The Hollow. Here they spend eternity lost, vacant and undying. 

The Ball o' Fun

The Ball 'o Fun for my Armies on Parade entry. It is a combination of a spell effect from Age of Sigmar and some nurglings.

Guard for comparison.
