Turelio's Hobby Hoard

OK, I'm running a bit late on this one, so I have to be quick... TaDa! This is the Poltergeist I painted ages ago! The colour scheme was done with an eye towards matching the Sorrows I did ages ago. I also tried out at a friends suggestion the idea of doing hair like fire, which works in well with the spirit side of the model I think. Anyway! Pictures!

I finally got pictures ready to post! Isn't it amazing! This is the Zombie Chihuahua from Wyrd. I don't play a McMourning crew, and this one is a Totem that can only be attached to him, but either way, I still wanted to paint it. He's a bit strange in that he (Yes, it is a boy, there is a precise level of detail on these models...) is so small some details are hard to make out of the texture is skin or fur. So I chose in the end to do him with a lot of exposed skin, and went from there! If anyone is interested in voting on CMON though, his link is here. Currently he is sitting on And as for the paint scheme: White Undercoat Flesh - Airbrush Base: P3 Bastion Grey H: P3 Cryx Bane Highlight H: P3 Midlund Flesh H: P3 Midlund Flesh and Skull White (1:1) H: Skull White Flesh - Brush Wash: Midlund Flesh S: P3 Cryx Bane Highlight H: Skull White and Midlund Flesh (3:1) Glaze: Warlock Purple Glaze: Liche Purple Hair Base: Charadon Granite H: Calthan Brown H: Khemri Brown H: Khemri Br...

I have seen some pretty good examples of these fences done up in the past, and after deciding that I needed to get some scenery for Malifaux games and things like that, I realised that the $35 or so that GW Aus has these priced as is not as bad as some of the other models they have in their range. What I have below accounts for about half the box, and are all of the 'small' fences. There are also several fence sections about twice the size of these ones, and also two smaller signposts. However all of these will be left for another time, as these will suffice me for now. I think that they came out OK. Most of the colours were done with drybrushing which for me is a nice change in terms of how much I can churn out in the space of a few hours. They were mainly done at a local GW store the first day of opening after the Christmas break for one of their giffle days. All in all, these took me about 6 hours I think, factoring in the time spent at the store, and the hour or so spent on...

OK, I realised a few weeks ago that I have a notebook (or three) that I am constantly writing my paint recipes in, but never doing anything further with them. The only time I do use them is to reference colours I used to reuse a combination, but I also run the risk of not being able to understand my handwriting after a few years. My resolution was to start typing them all up for future use. I also realised I could recycle them into blog posts to show how I did things. I figured that I would start with the Orc Warboss that was given out at Golden Demon in 2007, and I painted up for 2008. The model is a favourite of mine for several reasons: I'm a former Orc general, so this model had instant appeal to me. It was the first model I ever painted specifically aiming for it to be a display model. It's also currently my highest rated mini on CMON. So here we go, on with the painting: Snotling: Undercoat: White Eyes: Base – Mechrite Red and Blood Red (1:1) H – Mechrite Red/Blood Red/Su...

These are the steps I used for painting the frogs. As mentioned a few times previously, I did a large surface area on these with the airbrush to speed up the large areas that I had to paint, which could be covered and highlighted a lot quicker than with a brush. Back markings (Airbrushed): Base - Calthan Brown and Red Gore (1:1) H - Khemri Brown and small amount of Red Gore Some dots of latex masking fluid were put over the area to later create the dots on the back. Belly (Airbrushed): Base - Bestial Brown and Tausept Ochre (1:1) H - Kommando Khaki The belly was covered with a layer of masking fluid to block out the area I wanted left 'white'. Skin (Airbrushed): Base - Chaos Black, Warlock Purple, and Camo Green (1:1:1) H - Camo Green H - P3 Sulphuric Yellow with a small amount of Camo Green H (Brush) - P3 Sulphuric Yellow At this point, all the masking fluid was peeled off, leaving the previous two layers to show through. Eyes (Back to the paintbrush from here on in): Base - S...
