Wolf Priest Kit Bash – WIP3

Do you know how sometimes something you’re working on just “goes right”.  You barely put a brush stroke wrong and everything comes together really well.  Well I’m happy to say that my Wolf Priest sits quite nicely in that category.  For those who aren’t big in the whole Space Wolf ethos and background, Wolf Priests […]

Snow on the horizon

Hi folks, yes I’ve been rubbish at putting anything on the blog.  A combination of real life being far too busy and lack of enthusiasm to touch a computer have kept me away from here.  Which is actually a bit of a shame as I’ve been progressing really well on the painting front.  My Rune […]

Rune Priest

What’s this?  A second post within a week!  OK, I’ll admit it’s me wanting to show off a little as I’m quite chuffed with the progress I’ve made on my Rune Priest conversion.  I say conversion loosely, it’s a 100% plastic offering but with a bit of modification.  The photo to the right shows the current […]

Not Quite Two Months

Well the last post wasn’t quite two months ago but not too far off. Life is roughly the same, I’m still working very long hours but managing to get a bit of painting done most evenings.  I’m continuing to focus on my Space Wolves and this has started to pay off (although it’s really tempting […]

Another long gap

I can’t believe it was March when I last wrote a post.  You may recall that I was starting a new job and may also have guessed that this has been in some way related to the lack of posts – you’d be correct in that guess 🙂 I’m leaving home before 7am and not getting back until […]

The Wolves Progress

Been a little bit since I’ve posted because I’ve been struggling to get anything approaching a half decent photo because it always seems to be dark. Thankfully the mornings are getting light enough that I can take a few snaps before I go to work. I’m changing jobs the end of the month which is […]

Evenings Work

Well although I didn’t get onto anything much early on this evening, I’ve just finished a quite productive session with the airbrush. Below is a (rather crap) photo. Everything has received a coat of The Fang, the minis that haven’t been shaded have then been shaded. Most of the tank has been sprayed but one […]

Furry Bits

Well the weather outside is awful today, despite yesterday being quite pleasant (though quite cold). Although I’ve been putting it off, I’ve now started the fur pelts and decorations on my Blood Claws. I’ve never enjoyed doing these as I’ve not really found a way that I like of painting them, however it’s a necessity […]

Ever Growing Pack

Although I still have my drop pod to glue together, on Wednesday my other half wanted some company whilst she did some bits on the PC so I did a bit of airbrushing.  I have now managed to base colour another block of Space Wolves, including the remaining 7 Blood Claws of the large pack […]

From the Skies

Not sure what happened but everything seems to have “come together” over the weekend.  I’ve done all of the edge highlighting (and pushed that further than I normally would) and got a coat of varnish on everything.  I spent a bit of time yesterday evening gently scraping the two pieces where the fins slot in […]

Getting Closer

Well the drop pod is almost at the point where I can begin to assemble it.  All of the blue has been airbrushed and just needs some edge highlighting with a brush.  The fins has have their red tips airbrushed and again just need a edge highlight.  Once the edge highlight has been done I […]
