Doomwheel Progress

Holy crap an update! Yes, painting has sadly fallen to the wayside a bit in the onslaught of Fallout New Vegas, Dragon Age II, and Portal 2. But here is some progress! My Doomwheel is coming along nicely I feel with much of the work at what I feel is "ok to good" stage of painting. So, here's my update! I hope to have it done soon so I can either buy a Hellpit Abomination or a Screaming Bell (or both). Also I've got about 50 sad looking Space Marines in the bottom of my display case crying out to be painted. Woof.

Grey Seer Thanquol and Boneripper

These are probably my current favorite models that I've painted. Both Thanquol and Boneripper turned out almost exactly like I wanted. The muscles and bone on Boneripper, I feel, look great and I love how the parchment and robes on Thanquol turned out. Also, looking at my Thunderlord next to my Dwarf Thane, I need to make his hair smoother. Something for the future, I guess.










Also, I'm assembling Space Marines this week. It is going surprisingly well except for the damn Thunderfire cannon which was a beast to get together.

Skaven Heroes

When I graduated from high school, I was gifted with a whopping two hundred dollars that I decided to buy a Warhammer army with. And buy one I did. I went to Borderlands in Salem, Oregon (which is still my favorite gamestore) and picked up the recently released boxset of Skaven. It then took me almost 4 years to paint everything in that box. I really like having a fully painted army even though I've rarely played with them and it is fun being able to see the pieces and have a nice way to see how my painting has improved over that time.

My two heroes, a Skaven Warlord and Warplock Engineer, are two of my favorite models of all time. I painted the Warlords shoulder pad green to match my Stormvermin. Unfortunately, the Engineer looks too glossy due to the old school inks I used on him, but I still think he looks great.
