Sneak peak at the next wave

With three (smaller) models complete it means that Im am now allowed to make three new (smaller) models. I have gone with a couple of Forsaken and another Marauder as these are the most numerous of my models. As you can tell there is still a long way to go and they may undergo significant changes from these concepts but I feel the base idea is there for each model.


Side Project - Chess set

I have started a new side project to create a chess set using Warhammer models. The set is designed with reasonable use in mind. My most likely opponent at chess would be my wife, so I asked her which theme she would like for her side of the board. She chose a 'light blue, female elf army', so to contrast I thought I would go with a Beastmen of Khorne army. Red vs Blue should look good.

The idea is to have standard warriors for pawns, large units for rooks, cavalry for knights, wizards for bishops, and appropriate characters for the king / queen.

Its still early doors as yet but I got a few models up and running, with an early paint test in mind for one of the pawns.

Blightking - model 1 - Finished

Im pretty happy with the final result of this Blightking. The severed head in his tongue isnt great as it was a test that didnt exactly work as planned, however the overall model looks great. My first real attempt at a Nurgle conversation is finished!


Warriors Champion - Finished


Here is the finished Warriors Champion. Im pretty happy with the way he turned out. After these photos were taken my wife pointed out that the tentacle foot needs a little more detail, i.e some blood and slime effects, but this shouldn't take to long to tidy up before he goes back on the shelf.

Marauder - model 1 - Finished

My first wave of finished models. Took some time but happy to see them finished. Here is the first Marauder model... only 20 more to go.
