You have a very nice and 'realistic' style. Realistic as in, everything just looks and feels like it is supposed to look like that, kudos on being able to paint like that.
Also, I've always been intrigued by your avatar, any more pictures of that mini?

[Ego Ninja]

Alas the Orc in my Avatar isnt mine, it was just a cool pic from google images when I was hunting for an avatar!

On the subject of Greenskins here is Mr Black Reach - He is going to be my entry into a local painting comp.



Just need to finish the yellow now.

Cheers

Thanks for sharing!

A little update -



I found this guy hiding with the paint pots on my workbench so I gave him 20 minutes of my time - Im sure my Mordor force will be happy to see him!

The camera took most of the life out of the highlights but hey what can you do

Right im off to finish putting my Orcs and Goblins together for the tale!

Cheers

[Ego Ninja]

Ive nearly finished Canis (or Santa CLAWS)



Just need to add that last highlight to the armour and free hand all the scroll work.

Cheers

nice clean painting all round! Santa Claws! I'm not sure any child would want to sit on his lap!

[Ego Ninja]

A little rat shaped update!



Ive just finished putting together and undercoating two IOB sets worth of Skaven so expect some more rats soon!

Looking very nice, but... red nail varnish?

[Ego Ninja]

@mrtn - I was using the picture on the GW site as a guide - Im sure theres a good reason the master assassin is pimping the nail varnish

[Ego Ninja]

Hello!

Ive finished my first months worth of models for both of my TOFP forces, but you will all have to wait till next week for that!

Ive nearly finished my Skaven Bsb as well.



I just need to fill in the gap on the pole and he's done!

Cheers

Evening!

Time to show off this months work for the TOFP.

First up we have the Rat Ogres from IOB, I decided to paint the cloth on the shoulders as torn/ripping skin - I didnt like the idea of my giant rat beasts busting out of there clothing Hulk style!







On the Greenskin side of the tale we have a mass of spider riders and Spear chukka. Ive always liked my Orcs and Goblins bright so ive tried to keep most of the other colours fairly in your face as well.

Hello!

Update time!!!!!

My Wife got me a Screaming bell for my birthday, its only right that I get it done ASAP (its even tempting me to bump my Skaven up to the mens league in the TOFP)

Here is an early WIP -



Ill post updated pics once the main chunk is finished!

Cheers

[Ego Ninja]

First up - An update on the Bell



As you can see the main body of the Chasis is done now, as is the smoke - Im currently working on the Rat ogre and bell itself so it should come together fairly soon

Next up - the reason the Bell isnt going as quickly as it should



Im hoping to have at least 1000 points done by Christmas, but with two horde armies on the go in the TOFP I may be hard pressed - im still going to give it a shot tho!

Cheers

Some very neatly painted stuff in the plog; kudo to you.

[EmperorNorton]

So how did you go about painting the Bell?
I have one of those, too, lying around in about a dozen individual parts.
With the Bell I don't really mind as much as with the Doomwheel, because you can pretty much just snap it together.

[Ego Ninja]

I used the Guide on the GW site as a guide, changing a few bits here and there.

Wood
Basecoat Bestial brown/Fortress grey 1:1
Drybrush Bestial brown/Fortress grey 1:2
Drybrush Fortress grey
Wash alternate panels with either Catachan green, Dark Flesh or Graveyard earth.
Wash the whole lot with Devlan mud.

Bronze
Basecoat Dwarf Bronze
Highlight Dawrf Bronze/Chainmail 1:1
Wash with Devlan mud.

Stone
Basecoat Charadon granite
Drybrush codex grey
Drybrush Fortress grey

Green Smoke
Basecoat Orkhide shade
layer on snot green
layer on snot green/fortress grey 1:1
layer on snot green/fortress grey 1:3
layer on fortress grey
wash the top of the smoke with Thraka green
Highlight the bottom with Fortress grey/skull white 1:1

Hope that helps

Ive done quite a bit more on the bell and finished lelith so expect more pics tonight.....Ive also got a box infront of me containing my first Malifaux bits, so who knows whats coming next!
