RuneBrush's Painting & Miniature Blog
This idea is probably the first that I actually feel genuine enthusiasm towards. As I may have mentioned, I feel that a lot of the recent diorama’s that have won at Golden Demon have been small and don’t have much in the way of ‘battle’ in them – they are however brilliant on technical and […]
Continue ReadingI may be mad, but I’ve had a bit of a thought for a GD2010 project – a scratch build Thunderhawk Gunship. Although you can actually purchase a Forgeworld model and GW have produced a metal one in the past (yes I remember that one – it came in a velvet lined oak box), it […]
Continue ReadingI can’t believe that almost two weeks have passed since any kind of post. In my defense I’ve not actually done much in the way of modelling due to other commitments – yes mostly social 🙂 I always find at this time of year that November seems to be more busy than December as many […]
Continue ReadingIt took me less time than I originally thought and I now have eighteen nicely based marines. Five Skyclaws, a pack of five Grey Hunters and another pack of eight Grey Hunters. Overall I’m very happy with how they’ve come out, the bases add 2 to 3 mm onto the height of each marine and […]
Continue ReadingI must admit that I’ve had a fantastic weekend modelling and getting my Space Wolves army together. It’s not been constant (which is a good thing as my brain would likely have melted) and I’ve got a chunk of the army ready. All of the torso’s have been tidied up and gaps filled with green […]
Continue ReadingI’ve been having a serious think about how to go about ‘labelling’ up my Space Wolf army and have decided to (sadly) take a change. I really would like to do an army themed around Egil Iron Wolf’s Great Company, however the standard decal sheet doesn’t have his company symbol on it. I could create […]
Continue ReadingThe handful of bits I ordered over the weekend from Games Workshop arrived yesterday, but due to various reasons I didn’t actually get a chance to open them until tonight. The techmarine and his servitor retinue are actually quite nice models, though quite fiddly. To make him suitably Space Wolfy is going to be a […]
Continue ReadingI may have already ranted about this in the past, but I fundimentally dislike many of the colour schemes used for Space Wolves. The standard Games Workshop scheme is far too ‘baby blue’ for what are essentially savage space marines. Grey is a popular alternative (I even used it for my 2009 Golden Demon entry), […]
Continue ReadingFor the first time this year I actually have a whole weekend entirely to myself! My Mum and Sister are both away from Friday, with my Sister not being back until Sunday evening. So much time what do I do? In all seriousness I’ve got a few things that I need to catch up on, […]
Continue ReadingI just chanced across this link to a long list of Norse names, I thought it was pretty cool for any budding Wolf Lords out there.
Continue ReadingI finally managed to get round to taking some shots of the Dreadnought that I entered as my Golden Demon entry. The paint job let the overall effect down, but overall I’m being positive in that it was a fantastic learning curve. I’ve begun to assemble a pack of Skyclaws now (jump pack marines), and […]
Continue ReadingI happily got home from work yesterday to find a jiffy pad containing a (slightly bent) Space Wolves Codex. Though £15 is a tad steep for a book, the codex is actually very good. As with most codices it’s laid out in the familiar format of Background Fluff > Troop Fluff > Coloured Section > […]
Continue ReadingA couple more possibilities to add into the melting pot in regards to some kind of diorama. First off is a Warhammer Quest dungeon scene, but using modern models. A bit like the one Mike McVey did years back where the whole thing is split into a number of micro-dioramas with different monsters and party […]
Continue ReadingAs I’m still in the planning phase with whatever I choose to do for next years Golden Demon, I decided that I’d start to assemble some of the new Space Wolf mini’s I bought at Games Day as it’s my intention to have at least assembled a 1500 point army by the early part of […]
Continue ReadingHaving flicked through the Warhammer Online collectors edition art book, I think that I’ve come up with a potential concept for my Golden Demon entry next year. Within the book (and indeed the game), there is a Tzeentch bridge, simply put it has a path leading upto and out of what can only be described […]
Continue ReadingMy first post of various musings.
Continue ReadingUnsurprisingly I didn’t win anything at Golden Demon yesterday. Despite staying up until 11-30 on Saturday evening getting my entry done. My basic problem was that I ran out of time and rushed the final parts of the model. The red elements was litterally splashed on, the metals weren’t finished off to a high enough […]
Continue ReadingQuick post before I go out for the evening. Here is the almost fully highlighted torso. I’m going to work on the feet once the piece is fixed to the base. I’m also not happy with the powerfist – stupidly I should have left it unpainted and done it red! Mind you, there’s still time […]
Continue ReadingStill running behind and hit my first hiccup. I think that I’ve tried to highlight up too quickly. By that I mean that I’ve gone stright from the Codex Grey base coat (which is dark as it’s layered on top of Adeptus Battlegrey) to Fortress Grey. The end result is a pretty poorly blended highlight. […]
Continue ReadingI’ll add a progress shot up tonight, but yesterday I actually did get paint onto the main Dreadnought assembly of my Golden Demon entry. I’m getting the hang of the airbrush as well, which should make things much easier in the long run. I begun to shade and re-undercoat the various bit last night as […]
