Two Scoops Please!

I got into this over the summer while I was on vacation.  It's too delicious for words.  I can't get enough of it.  I'm a self confessed addict and make no apologies for it.  Trust me on this one.  Go get some for yourself.  TOO GOOD!!!!

Now You See Me...

 ...And now you don't.  Check out my new Chaos Malice Shadow Lord.  The body is a Reaper Bones Hell Knight.  (I have no idea why I had two of them, but since I did, I decided to modify this one. The other one is in a picture in an earlier post.)

 I removed the head, right hand, and shield and replaced them with some bits left over from my Warhammer Chaos Warriors.  The black and white color scheme is based on the Sons of Malice chapter of Chaos Space Marines in WH40K.  I added a few skulls to the base for mood.

I'm going to use this bad boy as the leader of my Warhammer Chaos Army when it is finished.  I'm super happy with the way this guy turned out.  I put a couple of pics below.  As always thank you for checking out my blog.  I greatly appreciate it.  Stay safe out there.

Winged Victory

 I started painting these two miniatures back in May and then got a little sidetracked.  I finished them yesterday and am happy with how they turned out.  The miniatures are from the D&D Nolzurs line.  On the left is a Harpy and the one on the right is an Arakocra.  I used this picture of a Harpy I found online for the color scheme I used on the figure.  

Still working on my Warhammer Chaos army. I'm getting there.  I've decided to add a Chaos Lord to the mix which has set me back a few days.

Some New All Stars

 

Starlink Battle for Atlas by Ubisoft has put out some pretty cool miniatures for their game. The miniatures break down into two categories: Ships and Pilots. I saw some of the miniatures at Dollar Tree while in Florida.  For a buck, I said why not and bought the Razor Lemay pilot figure.  She is cool looking.  She has that post-apocalyptical feel and sort of a Storm from the X-Men punk look.  I like the guitar she has strapped to her back as well.

I liked the Razor figure so much that I turned around and bought the Eli Arborwood pilot.  Eli is a cross between a plant-man and a gunslinger.  He doesn't sound very cool, but in his case, seeing is believing.

I've attached pictures of each.

As far as progress on my Warhammer Chaos Army.  The Khorne figures are finished.  I'm more than halfway done with the Chaos Warriors. I hope to start the Nurgle Cavalry next week.  All in all, things are going fairly smoothly.  Can't wait to see the entire set completed.  

While working on the army, I've been enjoying Voo Doo Potato Chips from Zapp's.  I've been washing them down with some Kona Big Wave Golden Ale.  Great stuff!!!  Go get some!

Nothing But Chaos

I have decided for my summer project to build a Warhammer Chaos Army.  It will be made up of four units; each unit committed to one of the four Chaos Gods.  For Nurgle, a unit of Hexwraith Cavalry.  A unit of  Blood Warriors and Reavers for Khorne.  I'm splitting a box of Chaos Warriors between Slaanesh and Tzeentch.  Each unit will have 8 figures that comprise it.  Totaling 32 figures in all, this will be a bit of a challenge.

As usual, pictures will follow when completed.  Wish me luck.

Yo Ho Ho

and some Rum and Bones miniatures.  These three are from the Wellsport Brotherhood expansion set.  Left to right:  Theo, the Terror of Nova, Grace O'Malley, and Captain 'Bloody' Anne Bonny.  The miniatures are well sculpted and very easy to paint.  I love the look of these miniatures.  It's different, yet not too comical.  Got a great deal on them over at Miniature Market.  Take a peak....lift your eyepatch first.

Now You're Messin' With....

You know the lyrics.  You know the band.  You know the album and it's amazing cover art.  In case you don't, I've included  a pic for ya.  

When I first saw this Cuth Wolfson, Barbarian figure from Reaper Miniatures, the title song from the album (yes, I wrote album) was pounding through my head.

This figure screams Bad A$$.  It is the final piece for my Barbarian Army.  Over the past few years I've been painting and assembling it (see earlier posts).  I'm mega pleased with this one.  Check out the pic.

On to other things.  Not sure what.  I haven't done any sci fi figs for a spell.  Some pirates sound good.  I got a ton of Egyptian themed minis waiting around.  What about some cowboys????

Dr. Jones, I Presume

Not exactly,  This is the Frank Buck figure from Reaper Miniatures.  He is from their Bones Chronoscope line.  I painted him up to look like our favorite film archeologist.  No doom here.  This was a smooth, quick and easy, paint job.  It went well from beginning to end.  I have to say, this little guy turned out super.  To quote the esteemed doctor, "That belongs in a museum!"
 

Troll Slaying Demonic Succubus...

 ...in other words...the typical girl next door.  This figure is from the Reaper Bones Miniatures Line.  It is one of the many versions of their mascot Sophie.  I picked it up a couple of years back, started to paint it, and then abandoned the model.  I couldn't come up with a paint scheme that I liked.

While I was hunting for some barbarians for a another project (see earlier blog entry), I came across Sophie in a container with other unpainted/unfinished Reaper minis.  Better late than never, Sophie.  Sorry it took so long. Overall, I think she turned out pretty decently.

Well, here she is, ladies and gentlemen, making her debut on this very blog: Sophie, the Troll Slayer!!!

Ogres are like Onions

Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. This Ogre Chieftain from Reaper Miniatures Bones Line surely does.  The skin on this bad boy alone is six layers of color and probably just as many on the club.  All the leathers and wraps were painted pure black.  The furs were painted gray and the metals all painted pewter.  A wash of black all around, some dry brushing, and then the details and highlights.  When everything dried, I gave the figure a coat of satin finish and then went back in later to gave the metals a coat of high gloss.

I feel this guy may be one of the best miniatures that I have painted to date.  I am quite pleased with myself.  Take a gander and see what you think.  Enjoy the holiday and stay safe out there!

The Lucky 13

I've been at this for awhile.  I got the itch to do paint up some barbarians.  I had several from Reaper Bones.  While looking for them, I came across a set of Pathfinder Human Male Fighters.  I also had some figures from Banner Saga that I hadn't gotten round to. Many days and hours later..viola...my finished lot of lovely ladies and malicious men.  Check out the pics.
