Back in the saddle!

Alrighty, I got a bit off track for a while with school, and some new PC games hitting the market, etc.

but now I've managed to finish my Ultramarine chapter master (the night before the tourney starts.... -_- ).

here he is (and now I can go back to my wolves :D)









Until next time...
Cheers

A blast from the past

My old man sent me an email with a few pics taken when I was somewhere between 11-13 years "old".

This is how I painted back then (Completely horrible)


And I DID play Fantasy back in the day... (Shame on me)


Oh and sorry about no updates on the wolves or the Ultramarine, the Ultrad00d will be complete tonight hopefully; have been a lot of stuff getting in the way. The Wolves will be resumed once he is complete.

Cheers for now

More work on my Ultramarine

The cape is now done (after the pic was taken I added a red wash to bind the colors together as well as tidied up one of the highlights).


The Sword have also received maybe 4-5 more layers on the golden NMM.


And yes, the small bumps on the cape have been taken care of (2 of them was mould-"dots" which I didn't see until I had highlighted them :P)

Cheers

Something out of the "ordinary"

So... I know this is out of the ordinary but since I'm going to take part in a duals tournament with my pal Dennis over at: minisofdeath.blogspot.com very soon at GW Stockholm and my wolves aren't anywhere even remotely close to done (as you all can attest to :P) I will be playing with my tabletop standard Ultramarine army (I painted this army about 10 years back, and I started with Ultras back in the 2nd edition when I was just a juve so don't go bashing on me for having kept with my chapter all this time ;P).

I needed a Chapter Master armed with nothing but a normal CC weapon and a bolt pistol, which none of my HQ's had (I'm not used to playing only 750p games :P) I went out and bought Sicarus, because he screams Ultramarines.

My original plan was to make him tabletop standard, but I failed quite large when I realised I spent quite some time on the head alone, so not the entire model had to be painted to a good standard, but I figured that since there's both B&C's and GW Stockholm's painting comps. coming up real soon I might as well paint him nice and add him to my line-up of competing models :P

This was my first go at NMM (Having not read any guides on it either), he will have golden NMM shoulder pads, a crimson red/decorated tan cape and white ropes when done on top of what's painted now. Might also add some freehand on the cape.

Since this is my first NMM model ever, comments and critisism are greatly appreciated on this one.

Thanks for looking, comment/subscribe/follow if you enjoy my stuff.
PS. I love doing tutorials, so if you have any questions on how I do stuff, please, ask ;)









Cheers!

5th Wolf Complete

Alrighty, managed to get my 5th wolf "complete" (he needs pupils but to be quite honest I don't have a brush small enough to make it happen... :/ )


And now it's off to paint another 5 before the 1st :P

2 more wolves done, 1 90% finished

Alrighty, got my "lightbox" correctly set up and finished 2 out of the 3 wolves today, the last guy have only the face and hair left so he'll be finished by tomorrow :D



















Input is, as always, greatly appreciated

Cheers

3 more enroute!

Alrighty, I've had the apartment for myself Saturday -Monday (that's right, the "vacation" isn't over yet ^^,) and thus I've enjoyed some great live metal DVDs (Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy, Vital Remains, etc.) while painting.

These guys are almost done (well, like 70% done at least :P)

Oh and I'd love some input on what color I should use for my plasma coils on these guys.
I've used green for my Black Legion, Blue for my Ultramarines and I'm thinkin' a bright orange for these guys, but I'm concerned about the amount of red/reddish colors on them already, will it be too much (seeing as they already have red eyes, red shoulder pads and red on the backs of the pelts as well as on the gems) ?









Comments and Criticism is always wanted and greatly appreciated!
