Ork Painboy

I think this guy has been primed and waiting for a while... which unfortunately has meant that I've used a 2nd edition painboy for my nobz mob. Anyway, finally got him finished, and it was fun because I just picked up the 2nd big paint set from Reaper, so I've got a ton of new colour triads to use. I got it through miniwargaming.com, but they don't normally carry it, but you can get it by special order. Their other reaper paints are here. I love all the extra colour variations that this set has, and I'm sure I'll be using lots of them to add some variety to my colour schemes.



Anyway, enough of that... here's the painboy. The metal bits were boltgun with badab black wash and chainmail highlights. The black parts were done with Reaper Stormy grey and cloudy grey with badab black wash. Ork flesh was done with one of my new triads (Peacock/Brilliant/Viper Green), and the gretchin orderly was Pine/Leaf/Pale Green with a thraka wash. The red parts were GW scab red, blood red and blaze orange, but the blood splatters were Reaper Bloodstain/Clotted/Carnage red. I used the Ivory white triad for the painboy's apron and the dark elf flesh triad for the hoses (something different but didn't draw attention). Anyway, think that covers most of it. Questions are welcome below.

Oh, also, I mostly used GW foundations for the base coats... this helped prevent the black showing through and gave a good base for the other colours.

40k rejects sequel (Zombies!)

Here's some models that I've painted up for miniwargaming.com and the upcoming sequel for the very popular 40k Rejects series (episode 1 of 15 here). Some of my models were featured in different episodes, so you may recognize some if you watch them all.

Anyway, in the new year MWG is going to be doing another stop motion series, but this time with zombies and Reaper mini's. Here are some work in progress shots of the main characters.

More Clanrats

I think I'm going posting more and more of these... this completes 70 clanrats for my skaven army, but I'm only about half way there. Nothing too special about these guys... the only difference really is the shields were camo green with thraka wash.

40k Craters

Here's my brief foray into some scenery... I like these craters but don't like how the edges have a tendency to lift because these are vacuum formed... so I glued them down to some MDF and painted everything up. I used gorilla glue, and put in staples while it was drying. After it was dry I pulled the staples out and glued some coffee grounds on to give texture for the dirt.

I started off painting by spraying everything black then airbrushed some grey on the edges of the craters and some brown over the dirt. To finish them off I dry brushed some reaper weathered stone on the edges and bestial brown on the dirt. A little static grass and we're all done.

Space Wolf Terminators

Here's a set of 5 wolf guard terminators that I just finished up. I used the same basic paint scheme as I did for Logan Grimnar (article here) and Njal Stormcaller (article here). The full list of paints used can be found in those articles.

Anyway, these guys are a combination of Wolf guard parts as well as normal terminators.
