RuneBrush's Painting & Miniature Blog
The last week has seen a surprising amount of progress on the Stormlord. Most of the hull has had it’s hull colour airbrushed on and I’ve spent two whole evenings sticking on tiny pieces of masking tape so that I can touch up some areas that need to be black (ready for metallics) and the […]
Continue ReadingSince last Monday/Tuesday I’ve had a bit of a cold lurking, which on the one hand isn’t a surprise because there’s been a lot of germs flying around but also is because I rarely come down with anything. However as is the case when I’m ill – it floored me Friday through to Sunday. Monday […]
Continue ReadingWell its no great surprise, but I finished off putting together the rear autocannons last night and glued them in place, which means that the Stormlord is fully assembled and with the exception of those two guns and the main gun, was undercoated on Monday evening so ready for paint. I’m currently suffering from a […]
Continue ReadingWell a few months have passed since my last post and for a change only a portion of them have been idle. After the New year I decided that my office/painting & modelling area was well overdue a tidy as the abundance of crap on my desk meant I couldn’t paint or model there even […]
Continue ReadingAfter a bit of random searching on the eBay, I picked up a Tau Devilfish cheaper than shop price (around £16). My idea is that I’ll give it a decent colour scheme and apply weathering as per the Forge World masterclass book. If I’m happy with it then I might even buy a different FW […]
Continue ReadingIN MY musings of a potential idea for GD2012 and a 40k vehicle, I’m going to go over lots of different ideas and although the new Necron codex isn’t yet out have had a bit of a mooch and found a few Jes Goodwin concept pieces for Necron Vehicles. Warmachine (big cannon); War Alters (transport); […]
Continue ReadingDespite my best efforts (and one evening staying up late on caffeine energy drinks), I didn’t manage to finish off the entry I was doing for Golden Demon 2011. About 6pm on Saturday (the day before the event) I spotted a mold line on one of the legs which only appeared with a certain light […]
Continue ReadingThis is my thoughts behind how you should look at any modelling project for the purpose of a display piece. This actually applies to both large and small displays. Focus Depending upon the size of the piece you will require one or more focal points, in the event of a single miniature or large monster […]
Continue ReadingSo I’ve been bad and rather than sticking with the Wraithlord I was converting as a Golden Demon entry, have decided to go for another project. Again it’s an “almost out of the box” miniature, but this time is actually Warhammer Fantasty rather than 40k. The project however, I’m going to keep top secret for […]
Continue ReadingYup, having to do housework is a pain as it really eats into time that it would be nice to do modelling and painting :s Project wise, I have borrowed some Milliput off my brother and am well on the way to finishing filling and sculpting my Wraithlord, which I still hope to have done […]
Continue ReadingHehe, it’s the middle of April and I’ve pretty much made no progress on modelling for the past four weeks. The past couple of weeks I’ve been busy researching, buying and setting up a new fish tank as I’ve always wanted fish, however I did make a concerted effort last night to finish basecoating the […]
Continue ReadingI have now got and opened the Wraithlord model that I intend to convert & paint for Golden Demon 2011. It’s a lot more delicate than I thought it was going to be in all honesty! However it’s going to be a good model to enter. I’ve gone over various ideas and have narrowed it […]
Continue ReadingMy Space Wolves have progressed farther than they ever have done before – in fact as a painting . Last night I finished gluing the sand on all of my assembled models and have popped them onto batton’s ready for undercoating (although I do need to do a tiny bit of green-stuffing on one Long […]
Continue ReadingWell I managed to put together the last few Space Wolves and infact managed to magnetise the Lascannons on my Razorback in time to take with me to my brothers. We managed to have three very good Warhammer 40,000 games, with me playing my Space Wolves and him playing his Daemons and have a much […]
Continue ReadingScarily a very quick browse on Games Workshop’s website earlier on and I’ve actually decided on what I’m going to do as my Golden Demon entry (and bought it too). Purely by chance a Eldar Wraithlord model popped up in the “have you looked at” box. The basic GW one is very plain and stood […]
Continue ReadingWell I had quite a successful weekend on my Space Wolves, despite rolling out the Sculpey I baked too thick, resulting in me having to bake another (thinner) piece. I have now assembled and based (still need to be sanded) a Rune Priest in Terminator armour, four Long Fangs (two missile launchers and two lascannons) […]
Continue ReadingThe weekend of gaming with my brother draws ever closer and I had my first opportunity last night to actually do some modelling (slotted between the washing). Due to various work items and visiting my girlfriend I’ve not actually had an evening solely to myself since last Tuesday or Wednesday, so took the bull by […]
Continue ReadingEver had a sudden flash of inspiration where something has dawned that is so obvious you just want to kick yourself? Well I’ve just had that.. I was just reading a forum post and suddenly wondered how much it would cost me to get together a squad of Space Wolves on bikes (Swiftclaws). Reading up, […]
Continue ReadingHo hum, despite poring over the internet for Rune Priest ideas, I realised yesterday that Rune Priests are actually armed with Runic Weapons and Wolf Priests are armed with Crozius Arcanum’s – which means the weapon I’ve converted actually doesn’t look quite right – oh joy. So I’m faced with a few different thoughts. Currently […]
Continue ReadingAs I mentioned in my post on Monday, I’ve been invited to have a game (well games technicall) of 40k with friends in Cheltenham using my Space Wolves. This coupled with the fact I’ve agreed to also play some games with my brother on the weekend 18th ~ 20th March have made me dust off […]
