Warzone Ressurection Brotherhood (WIPs) part 3

I finally finished all of the starter box models as well as an extra unit of troopers for Rob and I have almost finished the older casts of more troopers, mortificators, Valkyries, cardinal Dominic and another and the older cast of the judicator. Work has been even more hectic but they have been coming along slowly!

Deadzome terrain

My partner has finally decided to put together his dead zone kickstarter terrain and I've been asked to help design images for the signs. For now here is the assembled terrain with no help from myself! 





And finally have a picture of our cat playing a game with Adam.

Warzone Ressurection Brotherhood (WIPs) Part 2

Finally started the brother hood troopers this week and after doing a test model, I have finally started the rest of them. I'm going for a relatively light grey armour with white highlighting but the inner armour/squidgey almost fleshy bits are black. The colour of the shields hasn't  been decided yet but I'm starting to get a few ideas with some goo suggestions. 

For now enjoy a WIP photo.

Warzone Resurrection Brotherhood (WIPs)

So I've finally started to paint Rob's Brotherhood Army and after deciding to get the bigger models out of the way first, I have now finished two inquisitors and a judicator who I have now named Frank. Rob wanted his army painted with the standard colour scheme, so I hope I've done it justice! 

More WIPs to follow later!

UK Games Expo 2014

We attended the UK Games Expo this year which was held at the Hilton Hotel at the NEC Birmingham. I was only there for the Saturday and I was helping aka observing as the lads were having a demo game of Saga; a viking invasion.

The event had a brilliant turn out, although I found it much too hot and busy to actually browse anything but at least the board had a good amount of interest.






Also next to our demo game, was the Very British Civil War Game with some fantastic looking scenery.







Artwork - Mermaid WIP

I recently purchased a Bamboo graphics tablet as well as the program Manga Studio in the hopes to improve my art and get me more active when it comes to painting in general. So far I've been playing around with the tablet and I've got to say I love it!

I've decided that along with my miniature painting, I will start including some of my artwork as well. 

Here is one of the first sketches I completed using my tablet.


I am currently working on  larger piece and have already completed the sketch and inking of the piece. I've found a lot of great tutorials for lighting and colouring, as currently they are my weakest points when I come to drawing. 

Here are the WIPs for my current art project. 

The initial sketch


The sketch after it has been cleaned and inked.

Painting update

Although I haven't posted any thing on my blog is a while, i have helped with a few projects over the past few months. Since it's already half way through the year (how time flies!), I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to update what I've worked on. 

In April, my war gaming group; Leicester Phat Cats, managed to place at Salute with a demo board based on 2008 Russian invasion of South Occetia. Due to our lateness, we only had 8 weeks to completely build from scratch a 6" x 10" board and all the models. I was tasked with painting some of the buildings for the residential area.

Also this month I have helped paint a viking long ship for our demo at the UK Games Expo at Birmingham this Weekend (30th May - 1st June)






I am also starting commission work for a friend. I will be painting his warzone brotherhood army from Prodos Games. A bit of a challenge for me as it will be the most models I have ever painted at one go or even completed (I have only ever fully painted 7 individual models, not including scenery). I'm really looking forward to painting these as they are such gorgeous models! Here is some photos of the assembled models and I'll hopefully update the blog with more images once they have been completed. 







Thanks for reading!
