Imperial preacher... and a Troll! :D

Its been summer, and I've been absolutely inactive when it comes to painting stuff. Anyways, I have managed to paint very little and last weekend a friend of mine came over from Copenhagen and we had a blast with out paintbrushes :D

I finally got to finish the troll I've been painting for a friend. Please mind that the base is not done. My friend wants to do the base himself so that part you have to imagine yourself. Here goes:

I am looking forward to seeing the troll rejoining his folk.

Another "commission" is an imperial preacher. Miniatures from when I was a kid and its really awesome. It has a few mistakes in the cast but hey, thats part of the charm.

Hope you all enjoy. A special thanks to Kristian and Bent, for helping me advance a few steps with these models.

Cheers

Woodworks and CARTOONS :D

The painting part has been neglected on my part the last few months. The summer came and a lot of other arrangements have been more interesting than sitting in a dark room with a brush, trying to detail miniatures. I have however not been total out of production.

I bought this case for transporting miniatures, from a webshop in poland. You have to put it together yourself but its fairly easy and its a good fit. They suggest that you paint it or at least treat it some way for it to resist potential water etc. I visited my father yesterday who helped me paint it a dark flat red. Now I just need for it to dry and then I have plans to paint some sort of motive on the box.

Also, I have been looking for someone to male plinths for my various entries. A friend of mine suggested a German site and I received the package a few days ago.

The packaging was good, but the plinths are very rough, with quite a few errors here and there. they were cheap so I got what I payed for....

Last but not least, a fellow painter from a Danish forum is making warhammer style cartoons. I think they a great, if you want to see them, go HERE. You'll get a taste here.

Trolls, jætter, ogres...

For some time now, a friend of mine has had a topic on the danish hobby forum Powerfist.dk, about his sculpting and conversion of ogres into trolls or in danish; "jætter" (aka giants) I've been talking to him about how they should be painted and he has asked me to paint one of his characters. I think they look awesome so I willingly agreed. Yesterday I picked it up, here it is:

Here it is and I am looking forward to be painting the monster in all sorts of screaming colours! ;)

Painting Crusade 2014 Belgium

This weekend I was in Namur, Belgium for my first time ever participation of the Painting Crusade event. We were 4 people from Denmark, my two friends, Mikkel and Kristian and me participating in the painting competition. Jakob being one of the judges of the competition.

It was an awesome event and we had great fun all weekend, talking about and painting, models. I think the crew for a fantastic weekend were I learned a lot from all the more experienced painters who all came with a lot of comments on my painting

Here is a link to their facebook profile.

And here are the pictures I took. Its only a small digital camera I am packing, so not the best miniature pictures, they are more ment to give a general idea of how the event felt.


Hope I'll be back next year.

Thats a bad mailman :(

Back in January I placed and order for the "Macragge's Honor" from Black Library Its a huge illustrated novel with gilded pages and it cost €95.00. The book was only being printed as they received order so the eta for delivery was 6-10 weeks. I placed the order the the 3. January and received the book in the mail last saturday. Now, Denmark has the national royal postal service and usually they are great. Much more reliant then UPS or GLS. Thus I requested that Postdanmark would handle the postage.

Last Saturday, I finally received the model. I wasn't home but my girlfriend was and she could text me and show me how the mailman had forced the package down into the mailbox:

I came home and gently pealed the wrapping of the book. Fortunately Black Library knows how to wrap their expensive books and thus it was limited how much the book had been damaged.
As mentioned, normally I always used the danish postal service but this time, I am really disappointed with the mailman.
The book itself is amazing. A huge book, true quality paper and amazing graphics. Bad thing is, its too short. The story tell the fate of the Ultramarines battleship Macragge's Honor while hunting Kor Phaeron on his battle barge into the void, after the ambush committed by the Word bearers.

Daemon, henchemen and my first ever empire miniature

This post is something specielt. It contains my very first ever Crazy Goblin Miniatures figurine.

We start out with my first ever empire miniature painted. Its a requested job I did for free mostly because I wanted to practice some freehand.

I also got to finish another of the henchemen for Hector Rex:

And now for the big reveal. I am proud to present my first ever Crazy Goblin Miniatures model, sculted by a good friend of mine.

Though it was one of the first casts and it had some faults in it, I enjoyed it immensely and hope to paint many more of Bents sculpts.


Till next time, take care.
