Work in Progress: Noise Marines & Chaos Spawn

Hobby time has been hit by that curse known as "new job syndrome", but I've managed a small amount of progress on my Noise Marine squad and Chaos spawn.

New Projects: More 40k Slaanesh

Here I go again with more brightly painted members for my Divine Flayers, Warhammer 40k Slaanesh warband. This time I'm finally going for a troop selection and it has to be some Noise Marines.

New Projects: Malifaux, Infinity, and more...

Ok, so not all strictly new projects as I started the Malifaux project at the same time as my Orc. So I may as well start off with my current position with Seamus and the Copycat Killer for my Malifaux crew.

Completed: Orc Shaman (Nazgob)

Have to admit that this little project has been fun for a fair few reason. Finally getting round to painting one of the best Orc miniatures Brian Nelson ever sculpted. Building up a base using a socket for the first time ever. Experimenting with materials like soil, lentils, and blister foam to create look of the base. Trying to desaturate colours (which I will be sure to try again) and try to get a more natural finish.

Finally! There's not much worse to mess with your painting time than a family week away. So now that's over I managed to get some more paint added.

Work in Progress: Orc Shaman gets more paint

Welcome back. I've made enough progress to warrant an update I feel so I won't bore you with the black and white and get stuck in.

Work in Progress: Orc Shaman gets some colour and a base

Hello again (or for the first time in which it should be welcome).

I've recently realised that when I paint my miniatures that my order of painting has changed a fair bit. I've started to base coat large parts of the miniature now, which is how I first learnt may moons ago, but the bigger change I've noticed is I now build and paint the base first. I used to always leave that till last, partly so I wouldn't get paint on it, but also because I didn't really enjoy it. Now, and this is completely due to blogs like Massive Voodoo (yes, I know, mentioning them again. Which if you have ever had me respond to a "how do I" question, MV is often my 'go to' source of amazing tutorials and ideas).
