Miyamoto Musashi

This is one of the models I am most proud of to date. Set in the futuristic universe of the game 'Infinity' he is a clone of the world's most famous swordsman. Created with the sole purpose to fight in arenas for the public's amusement, he got wise to his captor's plans and went rogue. He is a playable character in the tabletop game and has the menacing hand to hand combat skill to match.

This model was an absolute joy to paint and really pushed my technique up a notch.

Glazes were key in making the shoulder pad and face stand out

A mixture of highlighting and drybrushing added wear and tear to the leather straps

Brewers Starter Set

Here are some photos of my first venture into Guild Ball, a medieval football game that is as much about scoring goals as it is about smashing your opponent's team in the face.

I chose the Brewers guild as a gang of inebreated madmen kicking a ball around a field and smashing shins in is the closest to representing a scouser on a tabletop game. 

These models were a joy to paint and ended up being finished before several other projects as I enjoyed them so much. I must point out that I had a problem when varnishing the minis with GWs 'purity seal' spray. I stupidly tested it on Friday (the girl on far right) and experienced a frost that covered/ruined the paint! After some googling I swabbed the model with cooking oil and the frost went away but she still looks a bit different now. It wasn't my greastest experience rubbing oil on a lady but it definately wasn't my worst.

Enjoy.

Chaos Cultists

Here are some cultists I painted for my friend's brother. I hated painting them at first but once I found my groove, there was no stopping the Heresy train!! Nice and apocalypse-y.

Lord Executioner WIP

This is what I got so far of the lord executioner model. Ill be trying some new paints on him soooon :p

More updates will be up in the coming days so keep your eyes peeled. For now, I sleep. Nightshift tonight.

Chaos Terminator Lord

This master of disaster is a traitorous space marine so hellbent on serving the Chaos gods that he leads his own warband. Not content with the usual space marine threads, this homie has kitted himself out in one of the most badass suit of armour in a marines arsenal, Terminator armour! This armour is nigh impenetrable and makes him a royal pain in the rectum on the tabletop.

Although I would of liked to have spent more time on this model, I got him to practice painting within a certain time frame and I'm happy with the result. This guy is currently on sale on ebay for an extortionate amount (guys gotta eat :p)

Tiger Soldier

Tiger soldiers are almost always first into any battle, they act as spearheads for covert ops, using their jump packs to set up ambushes and assault from the skies or lead capture and control and reconnaissance missions. They are, as their name implies, one of the most ferocious and highly trained units within the Japanese-Chinese conglomerate that is Yu Jing.

I finished the bulk of this model early this year. There's a few chips in the paint due to droppages (sodding cats!) and he needs basing and a few details adding. This was also my first attempt at OSL and NMM but Im happy with him so far.

Marneus 'Papa Smurf' Calgar

The ultimate hero and all around do gooder Marneus Augustus Calgar. Master of the ubiquitous Ultramarines, The blue coloured space marine chapter that can be seen on the box art of almost any space marine product. He is a force to be reckoned with both on the tabletop and in his illustrious backstory.

This is a model I finished a few years back. One of the things that is great about this hobby is looking back at all of your previous models and seeing the improvements you've made. I can definitely spot a number of things I would do differently now, and who knows, maybe Ill give him an update one day. :p
