Painting madness 2013

Last weekend I was visited by 3 other painters in Denmark, all of them leagues better painters than me, but thats only good for me, the result is 4 minies painted and a lot of new knowledge and experiences.

Here are the results of that weekend and following the project I am going to work on next; a diorama with Gotrek and Felix with friends.

First off I painted and old Dogs of War miniature by Games Workshop: Roderigo Delmonte. A father simple model, but with loads of feel and spirit :)

Next I painted a little crazy rat with a pig sticker. Again a fairly simple job, and still it was loads of fun.

Next, I painted myself a little pirate :) The miniature is an annual miniature given with the purchase of a ticket to the gaming conference in Esbjerg Denmark; Horisont On this particular model I praticed painting glass on a bottle by his leg. Hope you like it.

Last but definitely, a friend of mine had build the most amazing Ironhands spacemarine for me. You can see some of his work here: The Damned Artificer. Including Titans and loads of Forgeworld miniatures such as the thunderhawk, I am truly greatfull that he had made this model for me. It was amazing to paint and is going  on the top shelf of my model cabinet.

Huuuuge amounts of respect and thanks to TDA for the mini, I'll owe you one! :)

As promised, I'll give you a few shots of Gotrek & Felix with friends.

Enjoy.

First of 2013

Welcome to everyone. I hope everyone has had a nice and joyful christmas and new years time. For my part its been a good time, but with no painting at all. I've managed to paint a single model during this Januar; a Chaos Tzeentch spacemarine sorcerer and have begun a few others but not really anything to show. I did however, manage to take some better pictures of my inquisitor Gideon Lorr (his anti spy apparatus must be temporarily out of order) The chaos sorcerer was also used in a challange on the danish painting forum Powerfist with the theme: Freehand. My freehand was the Tzeentch icons on the shoulderpad and the coat behind him.

And before mentioned Inquisitor Gideon Lorr:

Thats it for now. First on the board right now is the old GW miniature from their Dogs of War range: Roderigo of Alcatani. Captain fo the Alcatani pikemen.

Take care till next time.

Twice the prize!

*Warning, may contain spoilers*

2 things happened yesterday. (yes only 2, the rest was spend on the couch with hangovers)

1) I went to see The Hobbit and discovered its only part 1 of 3 and its 3 hours long ... yes call me noob and stuff, but my days of extreme nerding is over I am happy to say. The Lord of the Rings 1 was released on my birthday and I came to the premier with my friends dressed in elf clothing... those days are over. I liked the movie. There was a few points of the movie I wasn't satisfied with, especially the voice of the goblin king and how easily he was killed. Also, the dark dark caves where Bilbo meets Goloum the first time was NOT very dark in the movie. Now is only the agonizing wait for the next part >_<

 2) Best model of the year was sculpted and painted by a danish guy named Morten. He has allowed me to post a few pictures of his model here. Enjoy:

A giant applause and congratulations goes out to Morten from me on a fantastically live and dynamic sculpt and a paintjob different from anything ells. If you find this sculpt, which is a one-off, interesting, take a look at his Trolls

group photos

I have quite a few projects in the pipeline right now, I wasnted to take a few pictures of 2 of the projects I've managed to get the furthest with so far.

The first project didnt start out as a project but I discovered I had painted a group of minies that fitted well together as an inquisitorial warband =I=

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you Witchhunter inquisitor Tyrus and retinue:

The group consists of:
Tyrus himself, ready to purge the impure.
Imperial preacher Kyrinov of the holy imperial church
Redeemer and Malekev. Devotees of the imperial cult and burners of heratics.
Noname the silent. Spreading the word of the inquisition and incinerating anyone in his way.
Finaly, last AND least, Bob the helmet bearer :)

Plan is to place these in a heretic infested invironment, such as... lets say a lower hive city!? :D


Another project I am working on is The White pirate Dwarf, together with Long Drong and his slayer pirates:

Plans are to place these rough fellas on an island of their own in a near future.

Any ideas to these projects are welcome of course.

Novembers work

This months work contains a Dark Angel Company master, Witch hunter Inquisitor Gideon Lorr and 2 wonderful dwarfs.

The Dark Angel company master was quite the handful to paint. I am new to painting powerarmor, but that wasn't the hardest part. The banner and all the flat areas I am to try and make more alive was really a test to my skills. Hope you think it worked out. Originally the model comes with a head with huuuuge wings, just like GW likes them, but I found that a bit too silly and swaped the head for another spacemarine head. I chose this head for 2 reasons. 1) I like painting skin and so this was my chance. 2) I think a helmet makes for a much less striking miniature and also a much less personal miniature. Hope you enjoy.

I must apologies for the bad queslity pictures, I just have to buy a new camera. Also, I am sorry for not being able to post any pictures of Gideon Lorr... well I could but they were all out of focus >_< no idea whats going on... my be some inqiositorial gadget that prevents sneaking spies from taking pictures of the inquisitor...

Why I should live in Norway

Today its started snowing... by the way this post is going to be completely devoid of anything warhammer related... Its that kind of snow that is actually snow as long as its in the air, large puffy lumps, but as soon as it hits the ground ... they just disappear. At first you get really exited by seen snow, then you get disappointed to see it all vanish, and the brown dirt getting more and more mushy and less and less white and hard >_<

So I though, I should live in Norway and here is why:

1) They have snow and lots of it. Me and my snowboard would love that!
2) Norwegian girls and some of the most pretty ;)
3)With all them billions of dollars they fish up from their oil rigs, they have cheap gaz and I love cars... that run on gaz ;)
4) Also related to the oil is their tax free months... those I like aswell.

That it, mum and dad, why didnt you move move to Norway when I was small? I blame you!

Enough ranting from me, take care everyone, its slippery out there (at least if you are in Denmark)

Witch hunter Inquisitor Gideon Lorr

Almost at the end of the month and I am almost done with the monthly painting. Its been a bit slow this month due to personal stuff. Here is a small teaser, WIP Gideon Lorr.

Cheers til next time.
