Competition Entry - Dark Age Oathpourer

Just finished my entry for the first annual 'Eavier Metal 'Eadbangerz Painting Competition on Facebook.  I was feeling a little stagnant recently, and this competition provided a great opportunity to paint a model from a new range and to try out some new paints and some new techniques.  The model I chose was an Oathpourer from Dark Age.  Just a phenomenal sculpt.  Base is from Dragon Forge Designs (of course), and for the miniature itself I used only Scale75 paints.  Some new techniques such as stippled leather and loaded brush blending were used, which was a really fun challenge.  I'm really happy with how the model turned out (though of course there are a few dozen things I wish I did better; such is our endeavor).  It was a nice change of pace and and really breathed some life into my hobby for the past couple weeks.  Still working on the Bushido commission and a TON of Space Wolves!

Skitarii Ludi are on the march!!! Skitarii Army Musings and some Bushido WIP

So I took a bit of a break from painting to assemble an 1850 point Skitarii army. I am so excited about this project and this army in particular. Musings and army list after the jump!

Adventures in packaging a Reaver Titan for cross-country shipping!!

I finished the repair job on the Reaver Titan. Parts were challenging, but it was cool to see the beast come together again. The client's #1 concern was to have the model arrive safely and securely. I pinned everything I could with 1/16" solid rods and JB Weld, so the resin around the joint will break before the bond does.
