New Necrons!

It's been a while since I've last updated, but here's some pictures of the new Necron kits I've been painting; both of these are up on ebay; I'll be posting some more updates soon.

Cheers for looking; Ark is next, and some more Ogres, and some privateer press stuff!

Finished Bulls

Ogre Bulls all done

Just a quickie today; finished off the final details on the Ogre unit for a client - really happy with how they've come out, working on 4 leadbelchers next.

RROOOAAAAARRRRR (Ogres)

First unit all but done; lots more to come of these guys in the near future :)

Garden of Morr:

This is the 2nd of these kits that I've painted, it's absolutely amazing, and great value for money, fairly tough as well, although if it were mine I'd save the unavoidable faff and just take off the prongs from the corners of the bigger mausoleum before they got broke in general game play ^_^

New Vampire Counts Models Painted

It's been a busy couple of days, overall thubs up for the new VC kits though, which I think have cemented my opinion that as an army the Vamp's have one of the best selection of models available to them, so much quality plastic!***

The terrorgeist took me much longer than expected, the different layers make it hard to do at speed, I persevered and managed to get it up finished on ebay before everyone else though, I hope it was worth it.

The cairn wraith and banshees were much more forgiving, and beautiful simple models, a good colour choice and a couple of individual details really make these models in not too much time, and I think if someone had the $$$$ unit of them used as spirit hosts would look exactly how I always imagined they could, drifting along, great stuff all in all, another 10/10 for GW on their plastics (the cairn wraith is nicer to put together than the banshee though, a couple of fiddly bits there, nothing off-putting however).

All of these fellas are up on eBay now.

***We won't mention the black coach or vargulf being horrific to assemble, as it's not helpful to my argument!

Ogre Kingdom Rumours!

Pictures have surfaced on the net of the new OK models which will be part of their (rumoured to be the first week of sept - so either 03/09) upcoming release.

Some big rules changes are apparently in the upcoming book, which they definitely need,v. excited about the prospect of painting up some of these guys, although some of the models do look like they may be a little busy, bordering on over-detailed, on the whole some pretty cool stuff though.

Dragon Rider + SoM Scenery

Dreadlord:

The buyer who won the auction for the first dragon I painted has asked me to paint up the mount options, so here's a pic of the Dreadlord, really pleased with how this guy came out, the only instructions I was given was use black and red, which is a pretty nice point to work from:

More SoM Scenery:
As part of some work I'm doing for a client he wanted some of the recent SoM scenery painted up; I was happy to oblige as I love these kits, and getting out my scenery brush :D He's got both a Tomb Kings and VC army, so I went for the slightly more necromantic looking fire, which I will carry on through to the balefire vortex piece when I do that. Apologies for the shine on the photo, the models haven't been dulcoted.

Eternity Stair:

Dreadfire Portal:

Also my top tip for anyone wanting to save themselves a lot of time and effort if they're putting together the Magewrath Throne...

You'll save yourself much faff if you can get your hands on some elastic bands :)
