Progress: I didn't want to do the metallic or detail work till the bases were complete. Also I didn't want to do the typical "Rails for the Rail crew". Based on the fluff though I could see Ramos having them helping him clean up after a mine collapse or one of his experiments gone awry or something along those lines. Not sure how far or where I will go with these but, I have a ton of tiny gears for stuff like this. Marching on!

Some markers i finished. I think they came out well. Started the rail crew box plus Willie the demolitionist. Step by step, inch by inch

Thanks for the replies everyone! Yep that is a purple Gorilla. I can't take credit for the tree idea, but it is scratch built. I got the idea from Tombanjo.

I'd be a gamer if there was anyone close to actually play a game with.

Marcus' crew "the Claw and Fang" is finished. I think I liked kitty up front. I wish I had taken this at a different angle. Oh well. C and C welcome.

Thanks guys! I should have them 99% complete today (are we ever really done?)

A friend at work asked me to paint a "merlinish blue" wizard for her sons 7th birthday. Here was the result: Jackalope: Sabretooth Cerberus: I was going to post WIP pics of Cojo but it kept saying too many pics to post. /shrug C and C welcome How many pics are we allowed anyway?

Brilliant idea! If you don't mind, I am going to permanently borrow that.

Brilliant! Wish I had thought of that

Working on a couple Malifaux crews. Almost done with McMourning's and Sonniia's and trying out some new methods I've ready about. Anyways here are "The Hanged" i finished tonight: Hope to have both the crews finished this weekend. C and C welcome

So I took everyone's advice to heart on doing blood and bought some Tamiya clear red. For the record, this stuff looks, smells, and has the same consistancy of cough syrup. No i didn't taste it, but i did think about it Other than that it is pretty great stuff. I watched a Vid by Lester Bursley about mixing blue and/or purple in it and I love how it comes out. Messing with that stuff game me the opportunity to finish my Malifaux Pandora crew as well. After putting the pics on the comp I realized I didn't get the safety pin on baby kade, pandora's earrings, and candy's hair barrets. Fixed now but i didn't want to redo the pics. Of course...Pics or it didn't happen. Backside of the doppleganger was the test target: Front pics in the family photo. One of my favorite mini's of all, Baby Kade: Love that little guy! His sister Candy: And the family Photo: C and C welcome.

Been a while since I have posted here. I just finished a Raspy crew for a friend. I thought I would share. With snow: Family Photo: C and C welcome.

I don't strain my paints. You can if you want but its a hassle, a mess, and imho the results aren't much better with the paints i use. If your using older paints you might want to. When i first got mine i was told to run around 20-25psi. Unless your doing tanks or larger models thats too high. Right now i run 8-15psi constant air pressure on the smaller stuff. Different paints will mean adjusting as you go, you will get the hang of that. Also most people say about milk viscosity but i like to be between that and water and do a lot of light coats, which btw is how i did the skin on everything you've seen. You will also find that different paints clog differently too. I can paint with some non stop others 2-3 minutes before its clogged as the paints dry on the needle and nozzle tips. hmmm... keep everything clean and go ahead and order a couple spare needles, cause you WILL bend the tip sooner or later. OH and always test before you spray your model. Hope that helps Moe

I use a Master with a .2mm nozzle and a Devilbiss .35mm. I use GW new and old and even older, RMS and VGC and Andrea. The Andrea paints smell funny when you airbrush with them, i dunnno why, but they work as well as the rest. And for thinner i use windex and water. Hoped that helped Moe

Great work keep it coming ! Moe

Thanks Darklyte Next phase...personally i like where i'm going with this, although the pics really aren't that great they make the eye pop a bit on the table. This is green and black ink about 25-75 ish. It shades the purples and brightens the skin in the right spots. yes yes, pics pics: I think i might use this on my malifaux zombie mini's. What do you guys think? ---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ---------- Picked out the armor on Malgathor the wise. going to do the edges later. Moe

Hi again for those who take a peek and see the things i like to paint. Going back over the fleshy parts with ghoul grey i then preceded to highlight in spurts on the flesh. I forgot to take picks of that part exactly. However on the next step i decided to add some flavor to the models and you'll see it. So please tell me, Do these look infected? What do yall think? The eyes and pustules will be finished with a brush into a creamy white in the final stages. Moe

update Covered the flesh and "fleshy parts" in Ghoul grey then washed heavy with a 50/50 water mix of GW flesh wash. after/before in this photo: After and before in the back: Yes that really is a fly i stabbed with one of my exacto knives (it's nurgles blessing i suppose). Nedalose the Near-Sighted ! in the games i played back in third edition i had 2 of these in one of my armies, i couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with either of them. Maybe that big ass eye will help this one a tad. Moe

Update: My Nurgle army will be the Puss Pox Pague marines an off shot of the Deathguard Plague marines who Regenerate themselves in a cannibalistic (humans) reverse osmosis kind of way. When the Right DNA is absorbed it garners a state of exstacy that granted a wink from another chaos god, Slaneesh. The leader of this army is the daemon prince Malgathor the Wise. Funny what goes through your head when your painting your mini's eh? RARR!!! Ok got everything primed time to start the basecoats: That was about 3 coats. First highlight and a wash of 50/50 Druchii Violet and badab black Next stage just a straight highlight of genestealer purple Malgathor the Wise: Moe

Update time: Filed off the chain on the daemon princes sword that i'm turning into a spear with different chains...you'll see...and i found this huge hole.. This is how it's looking: Greater daemon of pappy nurgle: I wanted a slightly more angry pose with a tad bit o action. Hope i achieved this. Added some hooks to make it look more like a weapon as well: Moe

Small update: The call of nurgle was getting to me and i wanted to finish the sculpting part so i can get them primed tomorrow morning. so here ya go, Bad phone pics away! First prototype colour scheme base: Inside armor done and highlighted: The three i want to finish sculpting on so i can get them started: I wanted the puss bubuos somewhere on his body and that looked like a good place. I think i may write a short story about this guy. He is throwing a lot of ideas at me. Predator: Greater daemon of nurgle: Thanks for looking everyone, C and C, welcome Moe

Hello folks Garden of morr quick! The garden is a great set and if someone wanted to make it into a showpiece the details are there for it. I just wanted something quick for my table. Speaking of that..... Got the edges on and the foam fits nice and tight so swaps with be sturdy and easy and can set it up for 2 x 2 foot sections: Dug out some stuff i'd had for a while from one of the boxes and found this old forgeworld piece and one i did myself like 15 years ago: While looking for other stuff this guys flew out of a box and tried to bite me! And for my next trick......Promethium from Peanuts! (this isn't my idea, i stole it from a model train builder who stole it some someone else etc etc). Take a couple cans like so and glue them to some foamboard for stability: Grab some of that brass rod you got at the hobby store but never found a use for: Turn them into candy cane looking things the length of your can (i went just a tad longer, better to be too long then too short. That's what she told me anyways :-P ) : Glue them to the can and put them "about" an inch apart. I forgot to take a picture of that part sorry, but you will get the idea in a bit. Next take the extra brass rods and cut them the length need to stretch to both bars like so: I didn't measure anything i just eyeballed the ladder rungs, but anyways start gluing them to the rods like so: and BAM! You have storage tanks that your lizard things can crawl on: Course after you paint it and put some gravel or whatnot they will look a lot better. I used like $2 in materials to make those. Hope that helps someone else in the future to bling out their table I'll probably be working on that a lot since i got the time and trying to come up with some good terrain ideas (or steal someone elses off the net mohahahahaha). Moe

3 months since last post. 70 and 80 hour work weeks will do that to a person. But i got some things and got some other things done and i got to do some GK work also. Here's some pics of the GK of Phoenix painted as Dark phoenix. 90 percent complete. Did this one up for my girlfriend. She loved it. The uncensored pics, and the full frontal fairy can be found on the e2046.com gallery as im too lazy to post them here and dont want to offend anyone. Thought i did pretty good for my first GK AND first attempt at airbrushing, now i find myself doing both on everything even the normal mini's. The flowers in both her hands and on her base is army painter and the other stuff is woodland scenics, dirt, pebbles etc. The kit itself wasn't too bad, i'd give it a solid 7 out of ten. The legs were the pain in the butt part. Right now im working on a scantly clad ninja lady: and a bad fairy :-) Black tinkerbell's wings are done: More after i get back from work of my quick to the table garden of mor and the table I'm building for 40K and malifaux. I have also got more malifaux stuff done as well. Moe

I think he looks fantastic!

I love your conversions and vibrant paint styles. Very, very creative. Moe
