For Sigmar!

Or whatever god is appropriate!

Just finished this guy as part of a commission. He is for a game of D & D and will have a wizard joining him shortly. I am trying to play catch up on some commissions while also getting started on some more Plaguebearers so I can get the painting guide for them done. This guy was fairly quick and easy as far as commissions go, now I just have one more single model and the grand daddy of commissions that has been on a slow burn for awhile now; a heavily converted Necron Tomb Stalker.





And in other exciting news there will be a step by step painting guide for my Maximus figure in the November issue of Wargames Illustrated



I am told it will be out around the last week of October, so be sure to pick up a copy. I cover every color with high resolution pictures for each step.

Until next time,

Count the Seven...

I recently got my hands on the new plastic Plaguebearers and oh man do I love them.


I started a Nurgle Demon army back in 2009 when the Chaos Demons codex was first released. Part of the reason I picked a mono-nurgle army is because I think they look sweet and provide plenty of painting and conversion opportunities and because I already had 20+ Plaguebearers from a previous army. I went through and repainted them and I think I only added about 10 new Plaguebearers to the army. I decided that I was going to hold off until plastic models were released. I figured it couldn't be to long until the came out. Well almost 4 years later they are finally here.

I wanted to paint them to fit into my existing army (not repainting an entire army again) but also make sure they showcased my current skill level. So while I kept with almost all of the tropes of my original color scheme I went about painting them in a completely different way. About the only thing thats the same is an abundant use of Rotting Flesh paint.

I will let the pictures do the talking now.





And here is a picture of one of my original demons from 4 years ago.

Christmas Comes Up a Little Short This Year

Ho ho ho everyone, I have a new commission for you to take a look at. I have actually had this guy for awhile, it was a free miniature a client got in his shipment of dwarfs and elfs that I had painted up months ago and he said, what the heck, why not paint this guy to. Paint 'em if you got 'em. Well I constantly faced a dilemma with this model, all I could picture when I looked at it was Santa Dwarf. Recently I got two new models from the same guy, a priest and a wizard (expect to see them on here at some point) and I told him about my dilemma. His answer, just go for it.

So I present to you Santa Dwarf.





Hope you like it. I decided to keep the paint job pretty straight forward to really emphasize the Santa-ness of him.

Comments and crit welcome,
