This blog post is a sister post to this one, where I discuss why I like the Abbess over the Elohi battleship. In this post I'll show how I did convert my 4th Elohi ship into a 3rd Gur Panther. Both ships are already quite similar, as both are medium sized and have the same … Continue reading Armada – converting an Elohi into a Gur
Last week, I posted about my pledge for MonsterMarch 22: a horde of knights. While a few of these knights were painted already, exactly half of them were not. Swordmaster (the gracious host of this challenge) posted that the full model count for a horde of knights would be be 32. That might be a … Continue reading MonsterMarch #2 – speedpaint those knights!
Last few years, I joined Swordmaster's MonsterMarch. You can find my contributions elsewhere on this site. I painted up a vampire on undead dragon, phoenix and goreblight respectively. Yearly disclaimer This year, like all years before, time is tight again, as I just started a new job and have to commute more again. Still, that … Continue reading MonsterMarch again
Almost a month ago, I posted my current projects - a regiment of knights. By now, these are finished: Other pictures at the end of this blog post. I really dig the yellow on steel-with blue ink, a distinctly different colour scheme which does tie in with my army by use of the yellow. As … Continue reading January hobby update – knights
Before I played the tournament in December, I had to finish the Monarch. With about 2 days to spare, I finished her. Just after the tournament, I stopped painting for a few weeks to focus on other stuff. Now the dust has settled, I restarted some old projects and started a few new bits and … Continue reading Hobby update – bits and pieces and pasticard vanguard terrain
As posted last time, I wanted (no: needed) a model for the monarch, the new Kingdoms of Men titan for Kings of War. She's been finished a week now: I love the print, the model and the paint job, so I'm pretty content with the results. Here's the queen herself in close-up. The model is … Continue reading Hobby – all hail the queen
First things first. I finished the mawpup launcher I started painting last week. Here's the result: I love the little model. It's gorgeous and the raft-on-the-water does it justice. It's a lovely addition to my goblin army. But enough goblins for now. Queen Mismeria Recently, I finished a Lost Kingdoms swamp queen. In that blog … Continue reading Hobby hype – Launcher & Queen
And something on Lost Kingdom's miniatures. I finished a Lost Kingdoms swamp queen 3d print and I'm happy with the result. Lost Kingdoms made a pseudo-Brotherhood/Bretonnian set of 3d prints which have high quality and great poses! The swamp queen pictures above is a naked woman on a water horse. I love the model, her … Continue reading Hobby – a naked woman on a wet horse.
As the weather turns fall-y (rainly, windy and generally unpleasant) it's a good time for painting. Progress is still limited, but that's okay since painting this way is really stress-less which is nice! Also, my goblins are just a hobby project with no timer, so there's no stress to get them ready. Yesterday, I finished … Continue reading Hobby update – fall painting
Hobby time has stalled a bit. There's some progress in the goblin department, but I've not been motivated enough to speedpaint the 60 or so goblins as there's not fixed goal to work to. And actually, there's something relaxing in not having to force-paint anything, so I'm not too discontent. As such, a few of … Continue reading A little bit of hobby progress:
