Fubar's Fantasy Painting log

Because I like to keep on top of things ^^, here are my latest projects.

So its been a year since i painted the previous stuff, and id like to think I've improved a little since then. I've Redone my Warshrine and also converted another to go with it, and I've used the same sort of colour scheme for the Tzeentchy look that I did with my Dark Elves, which I will / May put up when i get them out again.


Warrior Unit 1


Warrior Unit 2


Knights with BSB and Death Mage


Warshrine 1


Warshrine 2


Tzeentch Mage on Disc


Army Shot

Also I am going to my first Tournament at warhammer world in a couple of months for the doubles tournament, were going as a Dwarf / High-elf combo, as were allowed to take a terrain piece with us to deploy in our deployment zone, I'm converting up a Dwarf Brew-house, for the Fluff purposes ofc ^^



Very much work in progress ^^

I've decided to go for a autumnal theme to this army and I wanted very muted sort of earthy tones, its not something I've tried before, well I haven't been painting for much more than 2 years so I haven't really tried much I guess.



First Tester model with new paint scheme.



Also this is the first time I've Painted on top of anything other that Black, I used a Bone Undercoat from the Army Painter range, the main reason was because I didn't have any white and i was impatient and wanted to paint one up, this undercoat enabled me to apply much thinner coats of paint to give me the effect I was going for.

Your chaos army looks cool all together and I like the brew house. I look forward to seeing it finished.

Hello again another update,

First off, I have a 2500 point tourney coming up and rather that taking something I already have finished I decided to take my Dark Elves again, Most of the army is painted but I wanted to take my Black Guard and my Dreadlord on Peg conversion. Here's the status so far, Almost complete although I,m actually missing 3 Black Guard so if anyone has any spare give me a shout .


Black Guard


More Black Guard


Dreadlord on Dark Peg


Dreadlord Different Angle


I was thinking of taking this to the tourney but decided against it, mainly because, 620 points dead on first turn to a cannon, didn't excite me too much.

A quick update on my Status with my Dwarfs, Brewhouse is coming along slowly and done some more work on the quarrellers but as ive been getting the DE Tourney ready there not a priority atm.

Here is my latest focus, at least for this week, ogres!

Approximately 2000 points worth, half started, I hope to at least get movement trays done and a base theme organised soon.

Photos will follow shortly,

The Warhammer doubles is still a couple of months away but is slowly creeping up so expect to see some progress on the brew house and quarrellers, shortly, probably gonna get the cannons built up and crew based tonight if possible.

Next tournament is SCGT if I get a place, not decided what to take yet, may take dark elves again, I did well on last Sunday, got second place, did much better than I did in my last outing with them, although ogres could be tempting.

Ogre Bulls


Iron guts with characters (ignore leadbelcher at the front)


Ironblaster


Mournfang, I have two units of two at the moment and I will be getting a third unit of two soon.

I also have a about 10 leadbelchers although I can really see a place to put them in my list may just have to convert them for more unit fillers in my upcoming dwarf army.

"Thundertusk Brewery" almost open for business!

So incoming Empire soon, it may give me incentive to finish off my army here are a few pics.




Captain on Pegasus



Steam Tank (only model that's actually finished)



outriders



Close up of basing style (war altar)

For the bases I cut up sheets of cork into little bricks and filled the gaps with Foam Putty, I think it makes an realistic effect, although its somewhat time-consuming, this is also the first army I started to make the Movement trays blend in to the model bases, see the outriders picture.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome, thanks for looking.

Here are my Lizards, I have converted a couple of salamanders up from Old Metal Cold Ones that had Skinks on Tichi Huichi's Gang I believe, I plan on using the Skinks and putting them on Newer cold ones, Possibly the Dark Elf ones as they look much nice imo.

Update, Slacking a bit recently but heres a small update of my skaven,

[Fubar]

So I have a accomplished quite a bit recently but taking photos is a bit of a pain, I tried to make a light box but then couldn't light it properly, so photos aren't coming out as nice as I wanted.

Im gonna update the first post to include my progress of all my armies in the hope to encourage finishing my armies.

[Toshiro]

Looks nice so far, keep up the good work.

Looks nice so far, keep up the good work.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

After a little bit of a hiatus, I'm working on a new army to regain some enthusiasm, I decided to start a undead bretonian army. This will be my first counts as army, and will be using all undead models,mostly from Vampire Counts where I can.

It will be entirely mounted to start with, not including the trebuchets ofc, and ill be using the black knight/hex wraith models for all my knights.

So far I'm thinking 2 units of knights of the realm, 2 units of Pegasus knights, 1 unit of grail knights, 2 units of mounted yeoman , and 1 unit of Knights errant.
Characters will include lord on Pegasus, Lady on Horse and 1-2 paladins on horse, 1 being bsb ofc.

For knights if the realm I will be using the Black knight models as standard.

Pegasus knights will be hex wraith bottoms, (so no barding) with black knight tops(armour/lances) ill be adding some Tyranid gargoyle wings to the horses.

Mounted Yeoman I'm thinking hexwraiths but swapping arms around with the skeletons etc.
Knights errant and grail knights I'm not sure what I can do to differentiate them, grave guard I don't think are different enough from the black knights for the grails, any suggestions on this I would appreciate it!

I've mounted krell on a black knight horse to be used as my Paladin Bsb, and I will mount the New plastic Wight king model on one of my Pegasus for my Brettonian lord, I am struggling to find a good female undead character to use as my prophetess so again any help on this would be appreciated.

Ill post u pics of my current progress shortly.
