Escher Gang Leader

 

I've always really liked this model, although I did swap the original LH chainsword for a laspistol for that gunslinger vibe. She's turned out exactly how I wanted, I even put an eye liner wing on... 

 

 

Flamethrower Dwarf

 

What's better than a Dwarf in power armour??

A Dwarf in power armour with a flamethrower, of course. Next question!

Really happy with most of the painting on this one especially the armour. Quite unhappy with the photos which for some reason decided to pick out all the -micro-roughness from the varnish and other imperfections as if they were the main focus 🙄 Although at least it got the colours spot on

 

 

Chaos Characters.

 

Two models that aren't Warhammer but closely resemble Warhammer Chaos factions - Khorne warrior first with traditional red / gold armour, and Nurgle sorceror second with the usual rot and decay (albeit a bit less gruesome  than normal, and maybe a hint of Tzeentch in there??).

I was trying a few focused painting styles - really rich and sharp red on the warrior, and pastels, colour fades, and stippling on the sorceror.

 

 

Doctor Ork Sez...

 

Doctor Ork Sez Get Yer Fucking Booster Ya Cunts, Cos If Your Vaccine Refusal Makes You A Statistic The Government Uses To Justify Another Lockdown, He's Gonna Rip Off Your Balls, Hack Off Your Limbs, And Play Fucking Golf With Them After Da Surgery's Closed. And Get His Pet Squig "Omi" To Piss On Yer Face.

 

(Yes it's a bit verbose, but Doctor Ork might be even grumpier than usual).

 

 

Female Dwarf!

 

Female Dwarf from the notorious / renowned Scibor Minis. I can confirm the casting quality is pretty shit, purchase with care.

 

This was inspired / encouraged by an ex-partner who I'm still in friendly contact with online. She is Scottish and ginger, hence the hair colour and, well, Dwarfs are almost was grumpy as Scots...

I struggled a bit with the face on this and of course the camera picks out the roughness and varnish issues perfectly 🙄 But I'm really happy with the metals and colour scheme.

Green Wizard!

 Back after a summer hiatus.

This model is actually Sharkey (aka a covert Sauraman) from GW's Lord Of The Rings range, but I just liked the model itself and painted it as a normal wizard. The painting isn't quite as smooth as I'd like (I get bored on large uni-colour areas!), and the varnish a bit gritty, but I'm pleased with the colour scheme.

Vaccines Ready Motherfuckers!

 Topical eh! 

A great and characterful sculpt from Forge World that was one of the most fun figures I've painted - having a lot of variety on one model meant I never got bored painting too much of the same thing. I particularly enjoyed choosing some appropriate colours that I don't normally paint, and also painting the soft pale curvy tummy with gentle highlighting.
