Warhammer World - part 2

Afternoon #warmongers and #warhammercommunity I've been to #WarhammerWorld and in the process took a lot of pics and somehow had a lot of Middle Earth ones. These were mainly for my mate Otty who has been churning out Rohirrim all over lockdwon. We're also playing Middle Earth Role Playing game so maybe it's subliminal - anyway a hobbit hole, is it Bilbo's?

The Battle of Pelennor Fields.

In MERP I just killed one of those Fellbeasts - 1 shot! I mean we had stumbled across a specific Fellbeast slaying arrow in a previous side mission but I got a critical damage role of 93 and slaughtered it. Next shot was the wizard's apprentice - damage 100! I scored over 4000 experience in one session!

Rohirrim.

Orcs.

Ashley's Scouring of the Shire.

Moar armies.

Smaug

Barrels of fun.

And there we have it. I made a purchase while I was there, can't decide if I was a 'fool of a Took' for doing so but nevermind.

Warhammer World - part 1

Afternoon #warmongers and #warhammercommunity I've been to #WarhammerWorld. This was Monday last week and my son returned to universtiy in Oxford [yes, I'm never going to stop reminding folk my son goes to flipping Oxford University!] Anyway, it should have been drop off and straight back but I got embroiled in a scavenger hunt competition, whereby I had to detour to Nottingham to take a picture outside Nottingham Rock City, holding a book about my favourite band Pitchshifter and I'd win ruddy great big red skull for trouble! 

As I was in the area and Warhammer World was on the way back it was rude not to pop in. Obviously I also took a few pictures so folk can see what's on display at the moment.

  

This battle scene was pretty epic with the railway sidings and the impressive octagonal tower.

Nice use of a Munitorum Container cut in half to make a rail transporter.

Age of Sigmar display.

Some neon Necrons.

Crazy new Lumineth fellas.

Pretty impressive Imperial Fists Redemptore Dreadnought. Liam is going Imperial Fists and has just done one of these. He hasn;t blogged in a while but I will guilt trip him into sharing on http://bluewarpstudios.blogspot.com

A crazy collection of Knights, with some very cool conversions.

  

 

An interesting Primaris force.

Sisters, doing it for themselves!

Mechanicum army.

Ogryn conversions of Kataphron Battle Servitors.

Robits!

Tau

A tweaked House Taranis scheme - blue instead of red.

Aeldari Exodites army

Aeldari on dinosaurs, with guns!

Moar Knights

Chaos United.

Knight Renegade... with wings, obviously!

Another crazy Knight conversion.

Ogres and a BIG dragon.

Crazy Zone Mortalis/Necromunda board

An Adeptus Titanicus Legion

LOTS of Adeptus Titanicus Imperial Knights.

I;ve a second load of pics that are all specifically Middle Earth related coming next.

'nids part 317 - Genestealer cult - Aberrants

Afternoon #warmongers and #warhammercommunity I've been #paintingwarhammer on my Genestealer Cult Aberrants. This has been a very slow process, hence the lack of posts. I had obviously applied some highlights and it was time to make all that raw interface between alien growth and human skin. The amazing effect of VGC Heavy Red [or Citadel Khorne Red] has helped me get to a stage that I'm happier with.

As you can see it's taken that rather flat and pedestrian highlighted skin and added far more dimension to it. I've used much more red than the original fair skinned Aberrants but I don't think it'll be too noticeable as a group.

Still a lot to do on the bases as well. There is a significant amount of details on these but I'm getting there slowly.

I have some claws to highlight and maybe some vermillion on all the fleshy bits for a subtle extra highlight. Teeth, eyes and tongues too.

Weapons and that bloody rock [as well as a couple of skulls!].

The dark skinned group were also brought up to the same point. I keep trying to convince myself the bulk of it is done, it's just detail work now, a lot of which should be fun.

But I also know all those tiny details fail to give the feeling of progress. It's hours to get a pipe or some debris done and it only takes up 2% of the model!

All the weapons need griming up and some additional drybrushed highlights and then I need to resolve the 'power' bit as I did not like my psuedo-lightning effect on the original 5.

The banner has to be done as well.

All the red clothes are highlighted, I've been surprisingly busy while I've not been motivated, but that's the point - little bits of work go a long way to help move a project past those sticking points.

Just spotted that sneaky bit of grill/mesh on the base of the right one that hasn't been painted! Lots still to do but getting close now.

Importantly, my son went back to university on Monday, which means I will have a bit more hobby time to get these over the line. This is a massive project, although it may not immediately appear so. I'll explain next time, but believe me, this will be a major achievement when it is complete. Looking forward to getting them complete!
