Scenery

Hope I don't blow FC's cover showing these models made by Becky for her Skaven and Lizard Men armies.

What's Gandalf doing there?

He's simply lost.

Hobbit game news

Here's the first news from Games Workshop of their up-coming Hobbit game.

Exciting, what!

Apothecary

Now that the 24 Dwarves are behind me, I thought I'd tackle a Space Marine Command Squad.

That's not literally of course.

Actually, behind me is a bookcase stuffed with books and to try rugby tackling a Space Marine Command Squad would mean certain death.

Anyway, here's the Apothecary nearly done (basing needed and his helmet should be white).

What should be written on his left shoulder banner?

Jason's models

Now a couple of brilliant models from a talented young painter.

Jason has done a terrific job on these two knights with lots of accurate detail and shadows created by the use of a wash or two.

Sorry the pics are not up to your standard Jason.

Jason - Perhaps you can let me know more detail about these excellent models.

If you want a better view, they are both in the window for a while.

Eldar from Andrew

I promised some pics of other models now in the window and here are a couple from 'Old Andrew' .


He's been busy painting Eldar.

That's Wraith Guards on the right and a Howling Banshee on the left.

I always like what he does with blue/white.

24 Done

And here they are, finished - hurriedly.

Coal black bases, they are miners, after all, with a hint, here and there, of gold and mithril.

Yes, I can count.

I've taken a photo of just 10 of the 24 but they are all in the window, as of today.

There are some other new additions too. More of them later.

Photographing Models

There's a great article about photographing miniatures on the GW site right now.

Dwarves - nearly there

The 24 LOTR Dwarves are nearly there. Bases are all glued up with massive chunks of shale.

It will be black rocky 'soil' and there'l be traces of Gold and Mithril in among some of the boulders.

That will be done tomorrow night.

Meantime, here are two ready for their base painting.

Wraith Guard etc

'Old' Andrew popped in with some models for the window.

They should go in this weekend when my Dwarves are ready.

There's some Eldar - Wraith Guards and a Howling Banshee.

Dwarves in a Hurry

I've decided to throw a large number of dwarves (Nobody tosses a Dwarf!) at the window asap.

I'm limited for time every evening but I'm trying to get all 24 of them done in a week.


I started on Wednesday with a hurried drybrush of the armour and axe blades.

Thursday was beard (Not the beard!) and flesh day.

On Friday I only had time for axe handles and bows.

Saturday was for some leatherwork.

Today it's been a unifying green for jackets and tabards.

Um! Doesn't leave much time for arrow fletchings, the remaining leatherwork, all the bits I've missed and bases does it.

Perhaps 10 days eh?

Have to have them ready for the forthcoming announcement from Games Workshop about The Hobbit though.
