For Khorne!

I have finished 2 more models for my Warhammerd army. I agreed to paint both of these so that I could have some awesome models to hopefully drum up some more commissions.

The first that I completed was the Soulgrinder. Way back in the days of 4ed 40k, true line of sight wasn't a thing. So when my little brother let me assemble his Defiler, it looked more like a crab. When 5ed and TLoS arrived, some of his friends complained that he was modelling for advantage. With Khorne Daemonkin out, and my crazy idea to mix a Defiler and a Nemesis Dreadknight, I once again asked to model for him and repair my mistake. I also had a few bitz from the Bloodthirster kit.

Once the Soulgrinder was done, I immediately set to work on the Bloodthirster mk2. I did my best to create the fiery wings that were requested of me, and overall it was a fun and challenging project. I can't get over how amazingly well detailed this model is. I really want one for myself. One day...

And I continue to rant and rave about how amazing the airbrush is to use. Best. Anniversary. Gift. Ever.

The Deadline Approachs

As the Warhammer'd event looms ever nearer, my painting deadline continues to get closer and closer. At the timenof writing this, I have 10 more days/nights to hobby. In that time I need to complete a Soul Grinder, another Bloodthirster, and 2 High Elf cavalry characters. Also, if I'm aiming for max painting points (read:always) I need to build and paint a display board and paint the movement trays for my Daemon army.

Now, what have I finished in the meanwhile?

It has been a long time since I took the time to invest 6-8 hours into a single model that wasn't a tank or monster. I started with the BSB and only when he was done did I start in on Mannfred von Carstein. It was really rewarding to focus on these models one at a time and really put some love into them. The BSB even includes my first ever Freehand design on a banner, and even though he looks like Barney, I'm still quite happy with the result.

Anyways, I'll leave you with some pics as I get back to the grind.

So much progress!!

In the 17 days since my last post, I have pumped out an insane number of models. While not at the highest quality of my painting career, I think I have achieved a solid balance between quantity and quality.

I even managed to turn on my airbrush, finally. In truth I had been afraid to use it out of fear of damaging to airbrush or a model. Finally my friend Nick convinced me to use it on his Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage. I'm pretty sure he was tired of me whining about being afraid of it. So I turned it on and I've used it for about 6 hours so far. I have learned a tonne in that time, and I'm more excited to paint than ever before. As an added bonus, I get to use the Bloodthirster at Warhammerd.

A quick list of the models completed since the zombies:
-40 Dire Wolves
-35 Skeleton Warriors
-1 Necromancer
-6 Vargheists
-1 Varghulf
-1 Bloodthirster

So much rage!

Got an airbrush? Better do cheesy OSL

So many dogs!

Half and half

Airbrushing is fun!
