Double Wow!!

I have just had one of my miniatures featured in a newsletter for a new zealand based miniatures painting company!! Considering its the only miniature ive finished in the last year I reckon thats freaking awesome!!

I have started painting a new project last weekend. Its a Skaven Screaming bell, which is another massive model. Lots of wood grain to paint. Ill post some progress shots of it when I get a bit further through it.

Im really happy about my news and its great motivation to keep painting. :D

Finally Finished a miniature! :D

Well, in the year since I started painting again, I have started many, many projects, but have yet to finish anything. At least that was until last night. I sat down with a mission to finish at least one miniature. Its only a small one, but I really like the way that it turned out. There are a few little things that I need to fix, after looking at the pictures a bit closer. Let me know what you think...

And for you Grannymus, This is the main brush that I use. You can see the others in the background, but this is the main one. :) Its not too small, gets most of the detail I need. I need to buy a smaller one for painting the really fine details though.

Up close and personal with the Rats

With the amount of painting that ive been doing lately, I thought I would add some more pics of my works in progress. These are the Skaven Rats that ive been working on. There are about 80 models in total so its a massive project.

Grannymus, I will take some photos of the brushes and stuff that I use tonight and post some tomorrow. :)

Update on Arachnarok Mk2

I spent a bit of time the other night working on my second effort of the Arachnarok spider. Its a bit rough but its coming along. I am going to paint prior to assembly as ive alluded to in past posts, The legs obstruct access to the body. There is also a wooden cradle thing that sits on top of the spider that is laden with goblins and what not. I am working on painting both of these cradles (from the 2 arachnaroks) together. They are coming along slowly. But no photos as yet.

The last photo is a pile of about 50 Skaven Rats that ive just started. I also have another 50 to assemble so that is going to be a big project. My next army project (after the Orcs and Goblins) is going to be Skaven, they are easy to paint and the scheme is easy to manipulate for the whole army. Im looking forward to painting them, Im going to start buying them now, but not going to start painting until I finish my Orcs.
