Extreme Beast 09

Got this bad boy finished up as a last leg of one commission. Once I actually started, I had a lot of fun working on him.
I went against the standard white and red scheme just to make him seem a little different.
The battle damage on this guy was an experiment and I like how it turned out personally.
Next time I will be less reserved and really lay down some dings and dents.
 Hopefully this will be my last extreme sculpt for a while, not sure how many more of those I can handle.

Dark Age: Skaard, Tribal Father and Grafter

I finished up a couple Dark Age guys for my Skaard over the last couple of weeks. I was just going to post up the Tribal father by himself since he was done first, but he is such a terrible fig, I thought I had better have another one to show as well.
So, I hurried and busted out the Grafter too.
Where as the Tribal father is a pretty awful fig, I love the look of the Grafter. Very suitably creepy.
These two give me a near fully painted demo force. Just need to find some time to get a handful of Buzzblades done.

Let me know what ya think!

Port town Slums

Here's a small terrain piece Ive been working on for the slowly growing Port town.
My buddy, John has been tutoring me in some pretty cool techniques on how to do some different stuff for terrain pieces and so I have been putting them into use here.

Here's is a link to the stuff he's been working on for himself that I have been following to help inspire my own stuff. Geek Garage

The plan has morphed slowly in my head over the last little while, but as of now I plan to have the bottoms and undersides kind slummy with mine entrances and mis-matched, shoddy architecture, and the top being more of a useable city/boardwalk(still shoddy though). Somewhat hard to imagine I know, but I think it will all come together once I get some more done on this piece and start work on a few more similar pieces.

More to come!

A proud, proud day!

Well, I thought I would go ahead and show off the work of my hobbyist in the making......Recently my 6 year old boy has taken a big interest in "Dads cool figs" so, I decided that it was time to see if he could handle some figures of his own.

I let him peruse through all of my Warmachinr and Hordes books and look at all the studio models online.
He was pretty torn between Cygnar and Circle but eventually came down in favor of huge robots over huge monsters, so Cygnar it was.

He was gung ho right away about painting his figures up, so we went and grabbed a cheapy Reaper fig that he could practice on to get the idea of a few techniques I would teach him.

Well, he took to it right away and came away with some awesome results.
He found it a little difficult to wait for things to dry but he persevered to the end. 

Here's his first two paint jobs. He is very interested to hear what everyone thinks of his Doods. :)

Memory lane: Khong-To, slayer of the warmbloods!

In this Memory lane, I'm showing one of my, as of yet rarely seen, Warlord figures from Reaper Miniatures.
Khong-To is the ruler and war leader of the Reptus faction in Warlord.
This guy has seen a spot in at least 90% of my Warlord lists because he is amazing in the game and he is a great and somewhat unusual figure.
 I loved painting this guy. he is another one of those figures that just flowed well from start to finish.

This is the figure that basically drew me to the game, which has really turned out be a lot of fun.
It was a pretty odd move for me, as there is a faction of Dwarves in Warlord, and I always seem to gravitate to the Dwarves in almost every game.
 Perhaps once we start playing Warlord again, you will see this guy in the battle reports.

Thanks for looking!
