    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Ok Necromunda update time:



    These are the other two painted gangers which make up my starting gang for any campaign. The taller one is converted from a FW renegade, the one from the HQ set with the banner...

    I have also assembled and converted some additions which I hope to paint up soonish to add some vareity to my games:


    The heavy stubber guy was a particularly involved conversion.



    I made a couple more Juves as well, since the game seems to churn out free ones. We've got an old school scout and a digga from digganob with a GS'd beater.



    enjoy!

    Adam

    p.s. I swear I haven't killed Salarath or Halaker, nor have I hidden their bodies...

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Hello all! apoligies for lack of updates but have been very busy with the work times and hence have found very little time for painting. However managed to sit down this afternoon with Mr Hadriel Caine and started painting my Wolf Lord on a thunderwolf





    Very much a work in progress but am pleased with how the wolf itself is turning out, still have all the details and armour plating to do before starting on the marine.

    Oh and I just realised looking back at the pictures that his weapon is missing, needs to be pinned but will do that after I've finished painting to make it easier.

    Cheers all for looking, C+C always welcome!

    Looking good Halaker! Looking very good. I'll leave my paints with you whilst I'm in London for two weeks

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Bit of a teaser for you today:



    e-cookie for guesses as to whom this base belongs/ will belong.

    Adam

    seems a lot of image links have broken. I'll have a look and see if I can fix em...

    EDIT// fixed a few. The posts by Halaker are the worst affected it seems. Here's a link to the album which has all the images that are missing from the last couple of pages:
    http://s214.photobucket.com/albums/c...pace%20Wolves/

    I meant to say as well that Halaker has been making great progress on the mounted wolf lord. I'll get him to post some WIPs today or tomorrow.

    no idea what Salarath has been painting...

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Hello all long time no post, Hadriel being in London for 2 weeks and me forgetting to pick up the paints means that progress has been slow. However since his return, along with actually having some time off, I've managed to make more progress with my Wolf Lord.



    More Progress



    probably the most detailed model I've ever painted, every time I look at it I seem to find more of them. Saying that, the wolf itself is pretty much finished and so its onto his happy marine friend (who wouldn't be happy riding a large savage wolf?!)

    C+C always welcome

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Great to see progress on this guy mate (insider information suggests that the wolf is in fact now finished...)

    I did something fun today that I haven't done in far too long. I made an Inquisitor model. If you haven't played Inquisitor before I feel sorry for you.

    It was one of those moments that I saw a completed miniature in my head and knew I only needed a couple of components to manage it. So here goes!




    and a nice scale shot given that the legs are part scratch built and part resin component


    I obviously have a long way to go with GS and cleaning up but I'm pretty happy with him so far. He's going to be some sort of hunter character for my current warband (headed by a Rogue Trader).

    thoughts?

    comments and criticism are always very welcome

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Some really nice conversions here. Only crit I can level at your latest inquisitor model is that you need to re-position the legs so it looks like he's walking. But, as you say, it is still very W.I.P right now, so nothing big.

    I really like your mordhiem band as well. Very nice work.

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    So in the time it took me to go to the loo, Mr Hadriel managed to whisk the wolf away to his photography area, take a few pics and then upload them to the internets.




    Wolf is now finished I'm pleased to announce, finally ran out of details on him and so can move onto the marine in the near future. Woop!

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    @lilloser2010- Thanks very much. The character isn't meant to be walking. He's supposed to be fairly static. Hopefully this will be clearer when I do some sculpting. I will pay attention to the issue of his pose though after your comment

    I'm glad you like the work here. Its been nice working alongside one another on various projects. It'd be nice to fit in a few more games though of course!

    If you like my Mordheimers check out the link in my sig for their plog. I have updated today with a new marksman, the first dwarf I have ever painted in 14 years in the hobby!

    @Halaker- never underestimate the speed of somebody excited. The wolf is looking sweet. I'm also rather pleased with my photography set-up. The yellow and greens really make it pop. The cabling and iconography tie the wolf together nicely.

    I think some snow effects would look good on the brown bases since you've decided to redo them (a good idea to develop contrast to your armour )

    Not that I have any ideas how to do good snow effects so any suggestions from the community would be welcome.

    cheers

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    I did some sculpting...




    Those go on here:



    Which myself or Salarath are going to paint for Halaker's birthday (which has already happened but we suck as friends I guess)

    I also did some sculpting for myself:



    I think Sal's orks are looking nice but kinda lonely...

    cheers

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    My it's been a long time! Progress has been slow recently mainly due to work but there has been some. I' pleased to say that the Wolf Lord is finished!







    So there he is. Really quite pleased with how its turned out, spent many hours on him. Decided to experiment with the snow effect on the base, looks ok to me so gunna have to rebase what I've done so far.

    Next up a 'nid hive guard!

    As per, C&C are extremely welcome!!

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Halaker - Is the torso for the canis model easy to remove from the thunderwolf body? Asking because you have made me save up for one with the painting! Keep it up!

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    I may be wrong but I think the only conversion on the mini is the arms. The torso would be removable IMO but you'd have to resculpt the cape onto whatever torso you replaced it with.

    Great paintjob btw mate. Looks fantastic. Just needs a transfer on the shoulder pad and you're golden.

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Well its been a while. Quite a lot of changes in our group: Halaker has rewritten the majority of his Nids list. There are a couple of SW conversions to post too! Expect lots of Hive Guard and Zoanthropes soon.

    I've done a lot of painting on my DE but won't clutter up this thread with it... follow the link in my sig.

    Here's what I've been working on this week:



    v rough WIP. Working on a Deathwing squad or two that may become a small army at some point, funds permitting. This guy will be receiving a different base and a command squad. He represents Johnson's champion (for use against Russ' champion if Halaker and I ever play against each other) It had been suggested I might make a Lion El'Johnson mini but I would rather do characterful terminators I think. Also I don't currently have the resources to make a primarch.

    progress soon I hope... if I find that chaplain.....

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Me again, yes it has been a while! University/ employment got somewhat in our way.

    Here's the completed conversion of Martin's Hive tyrant:




    I just have a bit of filing to do then I'll paint him up!

    The guys were very generous for my recent birthday buying me a raider and some scourges. I'll be updating my regular log later if you wanna see some WIPs, for now here's some trueborn with blasters!



    cheers

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Lots of things have happened. But really nothing to comment to. And plus, I have a full annoyance on me so I hate everything I see mostly...

    Canis Wolfborn or whatever that guy is looks sweet Halaker.

    Re: A tale of three occasional painters

    Update time!

    Life in general has stopped me from doing much painting recently (tho hopefully this will be rectified soon), however a friend of mine decided he wanted to paint a space wolf without doing an entire army. He duly offered to paint a lone wolf for me which I can now present to you all






    Am most grateful to my mate and whilst not painted by me, I thought it should be shared with the rest of my space wolves.

    Wow Halaker! James did a good job on that. Wulfric's head works perfectly IMO.
