Janissa Stonetide

Wow! Another slow start for posting this month, I have got to stop that! I have worked on quite a few things and we did have our first IK encounters.......unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of it. We had a great "LEROY JENKINS!" moment in the first encounter which actually worked out for the better in the end.
That should teach us to pair up an Ogrun and a crazy dwarf with no sane player anywhere near them.

Anyway, our IK night was paired with a paint night so some of us peeled off the group and sat down to paint after the first encounter.
I finally got Janissa finished, since she just needed a few details and some touch-ups. . She ended up a lot darker and more biker chick/Dominatrix looking than I had originally intended, but I like it so hopefully the client will  as well.
 The base was left bare at the clients request.
i also went ahead and threw in a later WIP because it actually shows her quite a bit clearer than the two final pics.

EndZone paint night and IKRPG start

Well, after a bit of a break for the end of summer activities that always seem to zap everyone's time, we were able to get together and have another very enjoyable paint night.
Lots of painting going on of course, but a lot of people were there to get help on setting up a character for an Iron Kingdoms RPG session that will start early next month.
As of right now, I will be playing a Dwarven Ranger/Arcane mechanic.
That could change as I get more familiar with the rules though. Really just going for what sounds cool at the moment. My good buddy grim will be playing a Dwarven Military officer(retired)/bounty hunter.
Our Dwarves will be brothers that were booted out of the Rhulic military for some unknown reason, and moved to Northern Khador to open up a mechanics shop.
My dwarf does the work in the shop and Grims dwarf hunts down those that don't pay up.
That's how our back-story sits as of right now anyway.  More as things progress over the next few weeks!
I really only ended up painting for a small portion of the night, but I did get some good progress done on the Extreme Black Ivan I'm working on. as soon as I get some decent pics snapped, you'll be able to see him in all of his beat up, rusted glory. :)

 The table where most of the paint was happening.

 And, the character building table.

Loyal to the Crown

Finished up these two Iron Kingdoms figs night before last. They were part of a larger commission for a local, and were thrown in as somewhat of an after thought.
I had been putting them off to work on the larger things in the commission but it turns out that these were needed for a Historical Warmahordes tournament this weekend! So, I had to hurry and bust them out. Hopefully the client will find them satisfactory. I enjoyed painting them both quite a bit, as I love working on figures that have lots of armor plating!
Where do your loyalties lie, Vinter or Leto? With the true King or the Usurper? (can ya tell I'm a Magnus player?)

Eiryss Alternate Sculpt.

Painted this little chicka up as a commission, and I don't think I will ever be painting one again.
Its a freakin cool model, but just way too detail ridden to keep clean at all. Just the amount of belts on her is enough to make you want to yank your hair out (good thing I have none)

I had originally tried to do the cloak in a very pale, baby blue, but just couldn't get it looking right at all. So, brown it became. The darker hue at the bottom of her cloak is supposed to make it look wet and saturated from the melting snow.
Let me know if I pulled it off ok.

Thanks for looking.

Port Tavern Completed

Well, just threw that last few finishing touches on this thing. All in all, it ended up a little bigger than I had intended but it works. I'm pleased enough with how it looks to feel like starting on another building right away, so look for WIP pics of that soon.
Thanks for takin a look!

Iron Kingdoms: Alexia

Painted this up as a quick commission for the local Pressganger. I wasn't too terribly impressed with this fig upon first inspection but I have come to like it quite a bit now.  I had planned to do some sort of Epic base for her, but while I was trying to snap the tab off, her feet started to break at the ankles. So, here is what we get after that debacle.

I may have to pick one of these up for myself. I think it has a lot more character than the boxed one that comes with the Risen.
