After two weeks of laziness.....

Well, maybe not laziness as much as feeling too busy to squeeze in time to paint, I found my inspiration. If I finish painting everything I have in queue, I will purchase this:

and this:
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/greatunclean.htm

I want these two models so bad that this will get me motivated. It will be no small feat for me though as I'm an extremely slow painter.

On my list:
15 Heavy Weapon Teams
70 Renegade Guardsmen
4 Leman Russes
1 Griffon Mortar
1 Chimera
2 Priests of Nurgle
5 Enforcers
1 Baneblade (strip, convert to nurgle, and paint)
10 Bloodletters
8 Beasts of Nurgle
Base 10 Flamers
2 Plaguebearer Standard Bearers
Finish 3 Death Guard Rhinos
Finish 1 Death Guard Dreadnought

Damn, now that I list it, I'm wondering if I can do it. :(

New Stuff!

I just got a sweet trade on Bartertown. A guy is giving me a Baneblade for that Soulgrinder I won at BoLSCon. I think I'm going to convert it to that Plaguereaper tank.

I also got the Arkham Horror Boardgame with the Black Goat of the Woods expansion for $45. What a steal!

Concept Models Part 2

Ok, after some advice from a few different sources, I tried this.
I put a light coat of Devlin Mud, removed the mold lines , and put chaos symbols and squad markings on the shoulder pads.

Now how does it look?

Test Model

Ok, here's the first test model. Keep in mind, I'm wanting to be able to paint 100+ of them in tabletop quality and be able to add more and more detail later after I get them all on the table.

I used the colors listed below, then used silver and rust all on the gun, sword, and chest armor plate. I used a florescent orange for the eyes and florescent red for the star on his chest. Is this a good scheme? How can I improve it?

Working on Vraksians

After a week of Vertigo and having to leave town, I've started working on putting together my Vraksian Renegades. I have about 20 put together (no pics yet) and have been working on making a heavy weapon team from each gun in the box. I've kind of hit a snag though, the large round bases. I can't figure out a way to make my own since it only comes with one base. Any suggestions would be great.

I'm also working on the color scheme. This is my current plan is a sand on red clay scheme:
Spraypaint Montana Gold Royal Red
Then drybrush Vallejo Dark Sand
Then Pale Sand on top of that

What do you think?
