Skaven Vermin Lord WIP 2

Here's the Warhammer Forge Vermin lord with some final touches on my painting table.  I'm trying to keep the final steps to a minimum, but its hard stopping when I know there are more details I can add.  The point is to speed up the workflow, so I've got to show some restraint.  Anyway, I'm happy with the results and will post some finished pics shortly.

After airbrushing the steps were limited to:
black wash on horns
Metallic bits on weapon
leather base and layers
green wash on warpstone followed by white edge highlights
teeth
red eye

Skaven Vermin Lord (Forgeworld version) WIP

I'm enjoying the Minitaire paints.  In fact, I took a break from Smaug to paint up the Forgeworld (Warhammer Forge) Skaven Exhaulted Vermin Lord that's been sitting on my to-do shelf for quite a while.  This is why I haven't picked up the new plastic kit, because I need to clear out some of my backlog before I buy more stuff to paint.

I didn't take any video of this, so maybe it'll be a written tutorial if there is enough interest.  It took about an hour and a half to get to this point, and now all I have to do is some of the detail painting.  Time wise I'm really happy with how this has turned out, so its a nice compromise in getting stuff done.  Next time I'll probably just run the camera and post the video.

Forgeworld Goblin Shaman WIP

Here's a couple pictures of a Goblin Shaman I'm working on.  He's from the command set by Warhammer Forge.  Really cool model that I want to add to my collection... I'll have to do the BSB soon as well.

Forge World Biker boss (summary and big pics)

In my last post I had some feedback for larger pics of the forge world biker boss... so here you go. Just click on the pics to bigify. I leave my albums as unlisted in Picasa, but if you are viewing the big one, just click on the album link on the right and you should see all the pictures I've taken of this mini. I can answer any questions you might have in the comments.

More Biker boss progress

I'm back to working on this guy as I have a deadline at the end of the month. Some more progress, and realistically its just a bunch of small details left now, so finishing him shouldn't be a problem. Here's some pics of the checker pattern I'm doing on his shoulder pads. I've also corrected the red/pink problem by giving the red stuff a GW blood red glaze.

More Forge World Biker boss pics

Here's a couple more pictures of the Forge World Ork Bike boss I'm working on for Miniwargaming.com's Painting Deathmatch. I have until the end of the month to finish him off, and I think that's a reasonable goal. The reds were done with reaper paints and some GW baal wash and glazes with GW blood red.
