Purple lady and a Gamers tale.

Another of Seamus' girl friends is done. I have one more to finish and the copy cat killer totem. The totem is 60% finished while the last lady is only at the primer stage. As soon as they are done I am going to start a personal project that I approached my local gaming store about. The tale of 4 gamers from GW sounds like it is not only a good time, but a great way to get interest in a game going as well as encouraging people to paint their armies.



I have put together a simple schedulel for the contest to allow even our slower painters to get involved. Army choices must be submitted by the 20th of this month, followed by 250 points of finished/based models on the 20th of each subsequent month. Added to this there are mini tasks to complete like a hero over and above the 250 points the first month, 2 objective markers in month 2, a war-machine in the third month and lastly something larger than a cavalry base in month four.

I would love to encourage anyone that reads this blog to participate along with me. If you want, take some pictures and send them to me. It would be great to post lots of pictures regardless of the painting levels of people to encourage and motivate.

To wrap up...last 2 Seamus Gang models done this week (fingers crossed) and then I begin assembling and basing models in preperation of the Tale of gamers. (You can have them assembled and primed but no paint on them)

Talk to you soon, Bard

BLORC comparison

Decided to see what a small highlight on the skin would look like. I have the black orc beside a normal orc and there is a difference, but not as large as it was before.

Black orc Break

I needed a break from the Seamus warband and gave in to the constant badgering of this persistent Orc. "Paint me you git!" I gave in. Still many details to finish, like adding some checks and dags as well as giving the metal edges a bright touch-up.

One thing I may also do is play with the skin. It is based off my newer recipe of Knarloc green/ wash/ highlight. I havent highlighted his skin yet though. Does it need it?

Size comparison: Does Size matter?

The new Blackorcs I am going to paint up all have red armour plates to tie in with the army. The old unit was in blue. I traded them to a friend for his collection of plastic Blorcs that were unpainted. I like where this colour scheme is headed.

Now, if only those pesky Highelves weren't calling out for some paint too!!

Another dead Doggie

Another little puppy done. The open wounds/fleshy bits turned out well, especially in person. The colours turned out very convincing. I painted spots into the eye sockets and they are done the same way as the dead prostitutes are, but this time it looks more like a reflection that milky pupil. That leaves two dead prostitutes and the copy cat killer. 2 of them have paint base coats, and I might even be able to complete another model this weekend, except I need to go back to work and do some organizing this weekend at some point. BLEGH! Let me know what you think of this addition to the Seamus band.

Cheers, Bard



Its called a Vet??

Helloo?? Anyone home? You REALLY need to bring your dog to see the vet! It doesn't look well. At All. Please go see a vet? Please?

Happy Easter

Happy Easter, and what better way to celebrate than with undead prostitutes??? Maybe. Not. Regardless, its Easter, and I wish everyone a happy holiday, AND I have finished painting another of Seamus' little undead ladies of the night. I have also gotten the base colours done on a second one and have also started the skin tones on the little copy cat killer. I will post them as updates when they are a bit closer to being completed.
Hope you enjoy!

Seamus and Sybelle Done

They are done and sit with a coat of sealer as I type.
The enemy of guild and Union, Seamus' notoriety only grows as he commits crimes in order to refine his skill with undeath. And to this end, the lovely ladies of the night, who seek not only a quick buck, but the choicest of brains upon which to feast are soon to arrive! (AKA they are next! And as per request, they will also be painted up in the same manner as the original art suggests)
Hope you enjoy,
Bard
