New GW paint chart

I've been hearing about this for a while now, and just came across this over at http://taleofpainters.blogspot.ca/2012/03/rumours-new-citadel-paint-range-colour.html

I'm super excited.  I love the reaper triad system, and will enjoy having the matched sets for GW paints as well.  It makes painting super easy and eliminates a lot of mixing.

Ogre Thundertusk WIP

Another project that I have on the go is my Ogre Kingdoms Thundertusk.  I airbrushed a base coat on the fur last week and I'm done doing highlights on the individual strands now with Reaper Golden Blond.  I really like this model, so its jumping the queue a little.  Should get back to the Thunderwolves...

Fenrisian Wolves Assembled

Here's some pics of the new Fenrisian Wolves all assembled.  They go together nicely in 4 pieces.  The bodies are labeled and it appears the heads are interchangeable.  Nice poses and texture, so they should paint up nicely.  They will also go well with my converted dire wolves and on the table top you won't be able to tell the difference (much).

Thunderwolves Painting Part 1

In this post I'm showing how to paint the giant wolves with some live action video and commentary.  I'm using Scorched brown, Bestial brown, Snakebite leater, Vermin brown and bleached bone in progressive layers of dry-brushing/over-brushing/stippling.  The second video will be painting the space wolf marines on their backs.

More Thunderwolf pics

Here's a couple more pics of the thunderwolves before I paint them.  I put some gel medium on the bases to help give some shape once I add snow to them.  These guys are primed now and will be painted up next.

High Elves Techlis WIP

Here's a nasty character that I'd like to learn how to use, but need to paint first.  He's going to be quite fast, so here's a couple hours work and halfway already. Just using the same paint scheme as the rest of my High Elves, so nothing special, and much easier than painting 40 guys at once.

Thunderwolf Assembly

Here's some pictures of the new Thunderwolf Calvary models I just assembled.  I didn't know exactly what loadout to use, so I'm going with 1 plain, 1 with melta bombs, and 1 with thunderhammer.  That should total 185 pts and have full wound allocation.

The models are good looking in person and assemble well.  The different wolves are marked and there's a couple options for the robotic legs and one extra head.  The riders come with lots of options and I'm pretty happy with the bits.

High Elves Spearmen Complete

Here's the video tutorial for the High Elves I have been working on for a while.  I cut the process short a little because I desperately wanted them done.  Back in high school I painted some high elf spearmen for a guy named Barney and it was a painfully dull process.  This was marginally better, but doing 40 at once is tough.
