  1. The Mountain Man is a Kingdom Death character that is still a ways away from hitting our gaming tables. He was part of the Kingdom Death resin range and later added to the KDM 1.5 Kickstarter as the final showdown for the Inverted Mountain campaign. So far, we only know a little bit about him aside from the fact that he resides at the top/bottom of the inverted mountain. And that he makes a great chibi. This is a Chibi Kingdom Death mini that I made for a collector. I have plans to make a second one for my set, but I haven’t gotten around to it just yet.
  2. Thanks. I plan to keep it up quite a bit longer as well. It just goes off and on, since I'll also stop to paint something else in the mean time as I go.
  3. Well, here they are. Happy Valentine's Day, and gain +1 population.

  4. Wear and tear is usually a welcome addition to most vehicle models. After all, tank armor is made to take a few hits. One of the things to keep in mind when painting something like that is the story it tells. Where and how you place it tells of how the damage happened. Rusty areas are older than shining metal showing through- moreso if there are streaks of rust leading down. A combination of rust and metal shows that this is a place where the rust layer gets scrapped off. This vehicle is from Seedy Tea Publishing‘s Simulacrum Protocol line.

  5. I've got a couple more. Neither of these are super new, but I hadn't realized that I missed posting them. The Warrior of the Sun has always been one of my favorites: And while Cola's presence in Kingdom Death is usually as an accessory to the Candy miniature, I decided that he'd do fine as his own survivor. I've got more to post, I just need to get all the photos sorted out.
  6. Here are a few minis from some of the varies Chaos Space Marine armies that I’ve painted for Warhammer 40,000. I’ve always loved chaos for the variety of themes that they use, which can suggest a lot of great paintjobs and conversions. These ones are from a Death Guard force that I painted with a huge focus on rust and verdegris. I really like the idea that these Nurgle forces can't maintain their metal gear without it getting super rusted. This next one is from a very different Nurgle force. The decay look is present, but expressed differently. I also really enjoyed the fly conversion. I got to paint up a wonderful Emperor’s Children force. This force has been around from the beginning, and their official color scheme has gone through a lot of iterations. This force went with primarily purple and black, but the leopard prints in green that harken back to some of the older schemes for the force. I’ve always thought that the quartered color schemes were a bit odd, but I found that I really enjoyed painting the Sons of Malice space marines with their checker board pattern. The Iron Warrios, of course, thrive on their vehicles and armor. The Night Lords have always been interesting to paint with their lightning designs. But Tzeentch probably remains my favorite side of Chaos.
  7. I decided that I'd post up pictures of the minis I've paitned for what is probably my favorite space marine chapters- the Salamaners. I have painted a lot of them over the years. The first is a whole army that I painted over the course of several years for a client. For this force, we went with a sort of combined interpretation for Salamander skin- they have an African skin tones with the yellow hair that older Salamanders have had, but not the drow skin or eyes that some of them have. The force was started before the more recent wave of Salamanders, and the fluff on them has gone back and forth (some of the official painters have even done them with light Caucasian skin tones). Also, on the fire you'll notice that the flames that are painted on to represent artwork are largely done backwards (as hotrod flames often are). I did do the correct lighting on any of the actual flames the minis are displaying, as well as OSL effect for them. This is, in part, to make the real flames look more real and the painted flames to look more painted, since both are needed for the force. Anyway, here's pictures of the force, all in one place: And here's a land raider I painted for a very different Salamanders force. This one used a more vibrant green and a different interpretation of the flames. I later painted a few other Salamanders for different forces. Unfortunately, I have lost the pictures for the primarch (I'd love to have a crack at painting him again) but I do have some other salamanders photos. These ones are very much for a different set of Salamanders, and use a different type of green and many style changes: This group was more of a Kill Team. - And the one that got away- a client once had me paint up the Forge World Primarch Vulkan, along with his diorma base. I loved painting him up, but I will forever be sad that I lost the pictures I took.
  8. I made it. I started out with a Frog Champion from Dark Sword, cut off a lot of pieces, and did a lot of sculpting. The insect legs were taken off of a Reaper spider, and the sword is a Kingdom Death piece, but most of him is my sculpt. The dunb ball is 100% apoxie sculpt/green stuff.
  9. I could describe these next ones, but I think we just want to skip to the pictures anyway.
  10. The Screaming Antelope is one of the core monsters of Kingdom Death: Monster. And the fact that you can get so many fine resources from it makes it one of the most hunted creatures in the setting. For this paintjob, I wanted to move away from both the grey standard color scheme for the antelope and away from the red "skinned antelope" look I've often seen. All together, I feel like this came out really well. The base is constructed from apoxie sculpt and green stuff.
  11. Kingdom Death miniatures remain some of the very best in board games- even the older ones from the core box set. This is the Butcher. While he is normally painted in a very dark color pallet, I chose to use some lighter colors on him (especially for his fur). Overall, I think this worked quite well. I also created the base of faces for him.
