Dwarf Slayer – Then & Now: A Comparison

2016-08-26
On: 2016-08-26
In: Dwarfs, Models, Models & Painting
Tagged: Dwarfs, Painting, Slayer, Warhammer

Now that I have two of an identical model, painted over a year apart – I thought it would be neat to do a side-by-side comparison of the two and evaluate how my painting skills are progressing (or not). In both April of 2015, and August of 2016 I painted this version of the Dwarf Slayer. Old one on the left, new one on the right: For some reason, the left eye on both of them are a bit wonky… Other observations — The skin looks a bit better now. The contrast on the metal is better & clearer. The hair is significantly brighter andRead More →

Coming Soon – New Pictures!

I’m still not dead! I’ve actually been doing a lot of other type work. The holiday season is typically busy one for everyone and I’m no exception. Between starting a new position at work, buying gifts, figuring out plans with the various families, and wanting to catch a couple hours of sleep here & there, I haven’t been doing much worthy of posting about in detail. However, I have just finished up two more Dwarf models and a Rat Ogre! Watch for them over the next week or so (have to finish up the final touches like sealing & such — and take their pictures).Read More →

Missing In Action: I’m Not Dead Yet!

Just popping in to leave a quick site update note — I’m not dead! I haven’t given up on my Age of Sigmar review, I’m still painting on a regular basis (just not completing anything), and I have lots of updates I’d like to make to the site swirling around in my little mind… Life, changes in work, the turkey holiday, coding an application in a new (for me) programming language, wrestling, and lots of other things have trumped any work getting done on my site. Life has been just generally busy, and we’re still working on getting truly “settled” in our house. I started onRead More →

A Short Detour

Tagged: Ignore Me

I haven’t posted for a few days. That’s because I’ve almost completely run out of models I already have painted! So what you see posted is currently the entirety of my GW & Reaper miniatures that are painted and “done”. I actually have several model / painting projects (a couple of which are “batch painting”) currently in progress, and I’m quite close to having some of them done, so it shouldn’t be a very long break before I start posting model pictures again on a regular basis. In the meantime, I have several character models from the board game Descent: Journeys in the Dark (theRead More →

Bringing Dungeons Back

I’m on vacation this week, visiting with the parents of @MrsKillerRoo and it’s been great! Besides enjoying the beautiful weather and great company (I love my in-laws, none of the old in-law tropes apply — they’re some awesome people with whom I enjoy hanging), I’ve enjoyed some time catching back up on the old 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game. I’ve always been a player, enjoying the game from the vantage of having NO FREAKIN’ CLUE what was going on. Knowing only what the DM was willing to share, and making lots of terrible PC choices (often causing character death) along the way. Thankfully, I haveRead More →

Double Posting to Twitter

So I’m not entirely sure why it’s still double-posting to Twitter. The next one may not post at all – We’ll see!Read More →

A Word on Brushes

Tagged: Discussion, Hobby, Painting, Warhammer

This is mainly to test my Twitter integration again. Hoping this will post to twitter as well, but we’ll see. Still trying to tweak these settings. Anyway, I have a wide variety of brushes. All of them useful for specific purposes, but there’s one brush that I use far more than any other — The Citadel Starter Brush. It came with the starter paint set with like 8 colors in horrible pots. Colors unlabeled (but they are on the box), 10 Night Goblins, and the Citadel Starter Brush. I almost immediately replaced the paints with actual paint pots (though I did plow through the blackRead More →
