Put it out quick! Here comes the sergeant!

The Winterguard are done! Goddammit, it took a long time. I am really happy with the sergeant and the banner bearer, my best efforts so far. Maybe the highlighting is a little subtle, but looks better than the overexaggerated efforts that went before it.
  The banner bearer is a MENACE. Obviously carrying that banner is tiring work as he seems to take every chance he gets to have a lie down. Something must be done about this as he has already damaged himself, the sergeant and a widowmaker as part of his unbalanced antics. I'll have to find something to ballast him, maybe at the hardware store?
Anyways here they are:

Next up in the painting side of things is a warjack, then Kovnik Joe and Harlan Versh . That will be a huge milestone as 25 points will be painted. WHOOOP!

Here Come The Winterguard!

They are done! That should probably read "They are FINALLY done". All in all I enjoyed painting them, I still think PP needs more sculpts for 10 man units but I am still happy with the result. They represent as a unit a solid advancement in my painting (the sergeant and banner bearer look decidedly different to this lot I'm about to show).
Not quite happy with my painting skills  yet, but they are still slowly improving, so yeah, hopefully soon I'll manage to change my gallery of shame to gallery of some-what-OK. :)

Thanks to plarzoid for providing inspiration and this handy dandy tutorial on fixing pictures.

Here they are! The lads!

and a close up picture:

The guy with a yellow beard is from the first batch of WG i painted, the rest are from the 2nd or 3rd batch. Both still have atrocious highlighting , but i can see improvements over him in the others.

In the works at the moment: As I said I've almost finished the UA for the winterguard, finished 3 bits of terrain, working on 3 more bits of terrain, and have a jack ready to go (ol' Draggy!) for the painting table.

Till next time! TOODLES!

2nd models completed!

Next up of the gallery of shame is the destroyer! Being new to warmachine I just had to do a jack. A big jack! A jack with a gun! I'm still not quite happy with the paintjob, I was in my 2 colour shading phase (I guess all artists have phases and as you can see from my painting I am certainly an artiste! :D) which didn't work out so well for the flat surfaces on the jack.

Next up was sorscha and and a rocketeer. Both still in my 2 tone phase still, I don't have good singular pictures of either and my kamera fu was weak when I tried to take some pics yesterday.

Overall I'm happy with sorscha , unfortunately I was packing the paint on a little thick at this point, but you live and learn. :)

AAAAAND now ladies and gentlemen, to the prime attraction, the money shot (no, not THAT kind of money shot, dirty people not keeping thier minds out of the gutters!).
This picture was a considerable source of pride for me featuring all my force at the time, I still loves it.

HOW cool are they? How AWESOMEe do they look? The answer is not very, never mind me I'm just gushing.
Till next time, TOODLES!

First MIniatures Painted!

I created this bog to keep track of my wargaming, and my progress on painting , gaming, and terrain making, you know, that kind of place I can go to look at all my stuff and let out a self satisfied ahhhhh.

So first up I'm going to show the miniatures I have painted, and here's to hoping in a few months I can actually see a difference.
First things I have painted for a long time are my widowmakers. I love these guys, I painted them in different colours as I wanted them not to look like a unit (they are irregulars as I see them anyways).
First off I led with an all brown look  and then a green and dark look, when I paint up my next one I will have only one duplicate in the unit as well as having a VERY cool looking unit leader!

So without further ado, lets start off with the public embarrassment of showing off poorly painted miniatures.

At this stage my hands were very shaky so faces and extra small crud got left alone, kinda funny that my snipers have no eyes :D.
