Lets Continue to Spoopy it up

Hello once again all!  

I'm back with another batch of models painted up and ready to go.  Managed to get a bunch done this week with another batch well on the way.  So without further ado...


Three more Lizardmen!  This rounds out all my bones Lizardmen.  My first warband/D&D encounter is done from my box of minis.  Need to figure out which monster group I will finish next.

Until then, lets see what else I managed to paint...


One Orc Big Boss!  This guy was just a spare minis I bought from a lot of models.  He was poorly painted and based, so I built a new base and gave him a repaint to match my Orcs!  So another model done and added to the pile.

So four models painted and completed, next up...more greenskins?  Most likely!

Stay Tuned!

October is here! Spooky time!!

Hello all once again!

So September has come and gone and I managed to start painting again.  Slow going at first but I hope to clear the first leg of my pile soon.  For now lets take a look at what I finished for this month and count up my total!


Two Lizardmen warriors!  One regular, and one "Brute".  Now technically the big guy should be a Marsh Troll.  But these models look much more like a Large Lizardman that I prefer to use them as a custom monster for D&D.

With these two models done I can add the other two I finished this month for a total of 4 for the Month of September.  Taking my yearly total too 63!  I still have 3 month to go for the year to see if I can finish more then I did last year.  So far I cam keep pace but I'll have to double down this month.

More Lizardmen are on the way next so stay tunes!

September Continues!!! What am I painting?

Hello one and all!

So I'm back!  Here to show off even more stuff I've painted.  It's been a little slow going for me as i'm easing back into it, but hopefully my next batch will kick things into high gear!

So with all that said here's what I finished


One Slaughterpriest of Khorne!  Ready to join my Goretide horde.  I got this guy years agoe when it was free with the relaunch of White Dwarf 4 years ago.  Finally got it painted and ready to serve the Dark Gods!

So onward to my next batch from my pile

Stay Tuned!

September Blues

 Hello one and all!

So while I have been occupied with a pretty intense Warhammer Total War campaign I have ALSO put paint to model and started working on my current to do pile.  So to start off!


So remember back in...oh I believe it was January, that I wanted to repaint some of my old Empire models?  Well this bad boy was one of the first I ever painted.  As can be seen it pretty standard for a first model.  So after paint stripping and coming up with a somewhat never paint scheme...


Cleaned up much more with some highlighting and better basing!  Granted its not much but it blends in with my updated army paint scheme much better then before.  And I also have a Mounted captain I can use for a little Warhammer skirmish!

So thats 1 model down this month with another on the way

Stay tuned!

August continues to August until it Septembers!

Hello once again all!

Not much painting getting done, yet again.  But I still haven't been idle despite what my lack of updates says.  So let's see what I got done!


I've had a Nurgle Hordes of Chaos army I've had half done sitting in a box since 6th edition.  So I decided to just...put it all together.  So with that said...


The whole plan with the army is for everything in it will be metal.  All OOP minis of which I already have a bunch!  So most of the hard stuff is done.  My plan now is to get these units completed.  I still have to finish the movement trays and magnetize everything but for now they are ready to prime.

Okay so now to begin my plan on cleaning up my paint table.  I have a pile of primed minis I want to get done.  But I also have a pile of half painted minis I want to finish first

 
Here they are in their half painted glory!  Hopefully I'll get it all done soon...so stay tuned!

July Ends, August Begins, Summer almost done...

 Hello Everyone!

Another month gone and...not a whole lot of painting happening either.  Summer + Painting = Not happening.  At least for me at any rate.  But that doesn't mean I haven't been busy!

I  have a pretty full painting table with half-started minis, stuff I base coated to paint but just...never did.  As well as half built projects I have waiting around.  So for the last few weeks since my last update I have been building stuff and getting my to paint pile ready to go.

Lets take a look!

So I've been slowly building my Cities of Sigmar army since December.  Finally nailed down what I want in the list and have been slowly buying what I need.  I managed to buy a bunch of old and new models and decided to put them all together to make one whole unit.

So Its a mix of 5th Edition plastics with metal arms, 6th Edition Starter set Handgunners and 7th to AoS plastic Freeguild Hangunners.  Also one Militia/Mordheim dude in the back.  I got to say, those arms are annoying to get on.  Behind that are 5 plastic Pistoliers I got cheap and added a bunch of bits too from my bits box.  On either side a Magister and a Metal Ogre Maneater for my Mawtribe are all ready to be based!

For my Fantasy armies I took all my random Handgunners I had left over and made a 14 man unit. Their movement tray and bases are all magnetised and ready to use!  In addition 6 old Flagellants, My Elector Count and 2 old metal Chaos minis for my Nurgle army.  Yes I decided to put that one together as well just cuz...well why not?


And here we have... a bunch of stuff half done.  Not even sure I'll do these first!  I still have a bunch of other stuff to put together.  I do want the Nurgle army completed once I figure out whats going in it!

So my monthly total stays the same for now at 59 models for the year....but I have so much coming up!  Stay tuned!

July is Here! What did I paint?

Hello once again all!

So the summer is here, along with my standard slowdown of updates.  I did paint some stuff however!  So lets take a look at what I managed to finish this month.


Two Lord of the Rings statue terrain pieces!  Just some scatter terrain to add to my pile of terrain.


Azyrite scatter terrain!  These came in the Blaster Hallowheart set I showed off last time.  I finally finished these up.  I'm not super sure of the colour scheme but I wanted something different so I went for it!  I have another Azyrite ruins set I want to add so now that I committed to thise scheme....oh well!

So that's 8 pieces in total this month for a yearly total too 59!  Not too shabby I guess but well see how this month goes!

Till then!
