Word of warning: Lots of pictures! As part of a secret santa event I\'m involved in, I have to give a gift to a fella who I have discovered is an Eldar player. I\'m not big on eldar things - the race has never really interested me all that much, and I can\'t admit to having much knowledge about...

So, I tried this once about a year ago with limited success, as somebody stole my first bike that I was working on, and the second one was built to a tremendously wrong scale. The biggest problem always encountered with a rider, particularly a warboss rider, is the pose. Some folks have proven...

So recently, thanks to a tutorial on the W.I.P. forums, I have been taught a way of lighting up the tiniest of miniatures. Due to my dire need to take modelling to ridiculous excesses, I thought it warranted further investigation. No! It doesn\'t involve the use of arcane fiber optics piped...

Does anyone have one of the flattened goblins from the plastic Giants kit I might be able to buy or trade for? One of these guys. I had an extra a while back but he\'s since gone missing and I need to see if I can\'t get one for an idea I have brewing in my head. I\'m located in the U.S.

So I\'m getting back into painting for a little bit to kill the time while I wait for some buzzsaws to arrive in the mail for my dreadnought. As it\'s been a very long time since I\'ve held a brush (ignoring, perhaps, a christmas gift or two I made for the girlfriend) I thought I might throw...

I was rummaging around a little bit yesterday afternoon, as I found myself with a refreshing amount of spare time, and I collected a bunch of bitz together that got my brain\'s little gears turning. I quickly produced it into a sketch: The concept is pretty simple. A looted dreadnought...

For my birthday, I ended up receiving a couple blisters of Rackham Confrontation Orcs. I am positive they were given with good intentions, as the person must have heard I played orcs but got the brand wrong. In any event, I don\'t really have a need for these minis. I have the following in...

So, my girlfriend\'s birthday is rapidly approaching, and I thought it would be a cute gift if I were to give her a painted up miniature diorama of something, as she is admirably tolerant of my wargaming hobbies. I was scratching my head as to what, exactly, to give her until I found a...

I was messing around with preliminary ideas for my squiggoth at the moment. Yes, I know I am bouncing around between projects like a kangaroo on acid, but it\'s just the way I seem to work. I don\'t mean to clutter the forum with so many posts about so many different things - they will all one...

I saw this warmachine mini a few days ago and I\'ve been thinking of picking it up and filing down the rocky/spiky bits on the shoulders and covering it with armor. I like the idea of a freaking huge warboss to lead the boyz - something monsterous and hulk-like. It seems a bit feral-boss-ish...

Hey guys. I have a bunch of pictures in the stages of W.I.P. that I am about to present that will culminate in where I am at presently. To begin with, some of you may recognize this sketch: This is art by Mark Gibbons, a fellow who works for GW and does illustrations for their books...

This was the first scratchbuilt vehicle I\'ve ever made for my new Ork Kult of Speed Army. I\'m very proud of it - it took me three weeks to build with a lot of plasticard, glue, paint, and love. Sorry for the large image below, but it\'s the easiest way to show the entirety of the vehicle...

I\'m trying to paint smooth coats of red onto my ork battlewagon, working up from the darkest red I have.. (scab?), then red gore, then blood red. I\'m having trouble getting the paint to go on evenly -even if I water my paints down, they dry in odd patterns and I don\'t get a smooth paint...

Alright, I\'m confused. I\'ve seen some really nice ork skin painted before and most of what I\'ve read says to water down the paints for proper blending so you don\'t get these abrupt color differences. I just tried watering down my paints a bit so I could blend various shades of ork skin. I...

I\'ve never really played with green stuff before, but since I\'m making a warboss with a choppa + power klaw combo and a right-armed power klaw isn\'t easy to find to convert, I figured I\'d start to make one. I had some klaw bits laying around from Mad Dok Grotsnik, so I started working on it...
