Minis 1-5: Pre-Heresy World Eaters Devastators



A whole Devastator squad for my Pre-Heresy World Eaters. I love the conversions (they're all conversions) but I am not thrilled by the paint jobs.

That being said, I am so glad they are done. I look forward to painting something besides white!!!

Crowtales 2010: 4-9 of 52 - Legion of Everblight




Privateer Press: Legion of Everblight Battlebox

Decided to try a different approach on these. I'm doing them in a quick style so as to be able to just knock them out fast. I'd seen some pics of a few drybrushed models that were just fantastic, and it had notes on how he'd done them. I decided to try it out as the principle painting technique on these. Thus, they are primered with Duplicolor white, given a single basecoat, the teal portions are then washed with a teal ink. Then I drybrushed up from teal to white.

Turned out to be slightly more work than I thought, and I originally didn't think I'd use any washes, but that quickly got changed. Overall though, I like them and they are different from all my other stuff.

Crowtales 2010: 2, 3 of 52 - Cryx


Privateer Press - Cryx Dragoon.

This is a two model character for Cryx. Pretty fun to work up, except that it was a real pain to construct the unmounted guy. Both of his arms come seperate from the body and from the Scythe, so you end up haveing to balance all the parts carefully while gluing them together. Pain in the ass.

Crowtales 2010: 1 of 52


Lots planned for this year. I have several army groups I'm working on currently in some new techniques. This first one is actually half terrain. I needed some wreck markers for Warmachine, so I took a stroll through my parts bin and pieced together these four markers. I'm only counting them as 1 model, cause they aren't really a model in the real sense, but then they did take some time to work up.

#4: Daughter of the Flame redux



This is a new version of the figure I did here. We use some of these for D&D and the fact that I'd put the original one on a circular 30mm base was an issue. The pose was also not great because it would get tangled up in other minis. So I took another figure from the same set and went at it again. Similar color scheme as you can see, but I went for much brigher versions of the colors.

#3: Lorielle


I wanted to do a quick mini after the last one and whipped this one out in a week. She'd had a bit of paint on her before this week, mostly a base coat and I only spent another few hours on her this week. Don't really know what I'll use her for, probably a character mini. The base is a cork stopper that's been cut down.

Tutorials: Milliput?

So, I know how to use green stuff but how does milliput work? And what do you use it for? The same stuff? Different problems?
