Plague Priest

The priest is done. I will attach him to the plague furnace as soon as I am done rusting that up! Once the entire furnace is done, I will dedicate myself to completing some friends commisioned Malifaux models.

Plague Priest is DONE!

Finished the Plague Priest tonight. Was going to post a couple of pictures of him but the picture download page isn't working AGAIN. (I wonder how many others have this problem!?!) I really like how he turned out. I debated having him on a base, but decided that he will be glued to the plague furnace, and I will use my old lord Skrolk if I want a priest on foot.
In other news I got the first coat of my homemade rust mixture on all the exposed metal areas. Its a combination of white spirits (turpenoid) and the forge-world weathering powders. Its just missing that final spot of orange, so tomorrow I will dilute some fiery orange and pool some on strategically.
The base is also done. I went with my gray/dead grass look. I think that's OK, the part I am most pleased and yet displeased about is the small mini plague rat guy on the base. He looks fine, but after I glued him in place, I realized that he wouldn't be able to be at the front of the base because of the furnace. Its too low. I guess he will have to be looking out the back of the model, and that's what I don't like.
Will try the pictures again tommorow.
p.s. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!

Plague Furnace nears completion

The end is in sight! There is another evenings worth of work left though, as I want to weather the metal bits and finish the priest. After I took these pictures I finished the rope pullers including the inside rat's arm. It looks great.
whats left to finish:
a) green ink one side of the machine.
b) finish the priest
c) touch ups and clean ups
d) finish base (base colors are done) and then attach machine
e) weather entire machine.
f) small censors at front

Do You Do ... Terrain?

 Why yes. Yes I do terrain indeed. Infact I went to my local gaming store and took some pictures of the terrain that I keep over there on display.

This first piece I painted up for one of my best friends. It's a saloon, and I was inspired by Mud flaps on the big rigs. I think it turned out pretty good. I took my time and tried to have each board look like it was weathered and battered.

Plague Furnace rope yankers!

 These three characterful little bundles of fun are almost done. Just have Bell-hood's arms and sleeve to do. The upper portion of the rope will be done before the weekend and posted soon. I will also post all my terrain pictures this weekend.

My plague priest colors are the faded cloth color I have on all my rats that I think really pops with a single highlight and a good strong devlan mud wash. The green is a camo green mixed with orkhide foundation paint. As I check the picture out, I notice that the guy on the right has an unfinished horn sticking out of his arm.


tap tap. Does this thing work??

Not sure whats going on, but I tried to post some pictures tonight of both the plague furnace "three tenors" at the back, and a bunch of my terrain, but nothing is downloading. So this post is more of a test. Is this thing working??
Yep, but I still can't download pictures...very strange! But not as strange as this one time at band camp....

Warplock pistol break

Warplock pistols are a great thing. They are even better when you hum the “Give me a break, give me a break, give me a kit-kat break!” commercial music, and fill in warplock pistol instead of kit-kat!! Stupid I know, but thankfully I am amused by small stupid things. (hey! Skaven aren’t stupid! Just small!)


Anyway, I didn’t so much burn out on the plague furnace, as I wanted to paint a little character for my force. This little guy is great looking, and I have some plans for a second one. I will change the pistol to a rocket and the halberd to something smaller and more pokey/less slashy.

Enjoy the pictures!

cheers, Bard
