Another quick WIP shot.

GV3

I still need to do some final highlights here and there but I usually save those for last. Helps pull the rest of the mini together!

Work in progress shots of my first Gal Vorbak.

I’m still pretty nervous around this miniature, really trying to take my time with it!

Here is a quick snap of my painting table! The Gal  Vorbak have been undercoated since this picture was taken, but the light has gone so no snaps!

I have to admit to being a little intimidated by these minis. The level of detail on anything forgeworld is always pretty substantial, and it tends to bring out the deficiencies of my abilities!

Still, the only way to improve is to keep challenging yourself!

I have one more Word Bearers biker to do, and some Gal Vorbak are sat here staring at me!

I have Space Hulk arriving next week too…

Another update on the Wight King.

wk2

Generally speaking I am pretty happy with this guy. I should really have bought some grave guard to practice things on first, like the colour of the bone, the cloak and the armour. But for a one off miniature I can’t say I’m too disappointed.

Hoping to finish him today!

Just a quick WIP picture of the Wight King!

wk1

Enjoying my break away from the colour red. However I am keen to work on my Word Bearers again! I have also ordered a copy of Space Hulk. So some Ultramarine Terminators will soon be heading their way to my desk!

For a little break away from my Word Bearers, I picked up something totally different!

I love undead minis, specifically the vampire count range, and with the End Times upon us I thought it would be cool to pick some up and paint some!

Starting with this fella!

Finished bikers!

wbbikesfinal

Well kinda. Two of them need to have some dirt added to their wheels, but other than they are done.

Taken me much longer than usual to finish these due to real life commitments. However my next project is something slightly different to my Word Bearers!

Well, my goal to finish all three bikers may not have been reached, I have however completed the champion.

There’s a few pictures in there without the rider so people could see the bike on it’s own. I love the stretched skin over the bike seat!

I haven’t glued him to the bike yet and I need to finish the base off. Well, one down eight more to go!

More work!

Backpacks can take a hell of a long time, and are the worst thing about painting Space Marines.

Still, three bikes to go and there is something quite nice about painting bikes (at least for me!).
