64. Ya-ho! I did it! 40k Urban Terrain - Crashed Lanspeeder part 5. Project Completed

Welcome back to The Underhive Hero.

I know it has been to long my friends (and enemies and passers by), but at last, we have some progress.

A short one, but for me, personally, a very satisfying one.









A finished piece of terrain! *Cheers*

I'm hopefully planning to keep this painting ball rolling.
On my desk currently is the crashed Aquilla lander, Coteaz and my Ork Bloodbowl team.

If these go down well, I'll move on to my Escher Gang again and try and finish my Human Bloodbowl team.


There has been a lot of changes in the world of 40k since I started this Piece of terrain;
New Rules, New Grey Knights...

I'm in the process of cobbling together a wargamming group, so hopefully that will drive my urge to hobby.
Indeed this is the fruit of those labours so far.

Anyway,
Stay tuned for more updates, and/or/please head over to The science of selling yourself short for my 'IRL' blog and also to catch up on 'The Cardboard Cartographer,' my board gaming blog, which is back to updating fairly regularly (fingers crossed).

In the mean time please feel free to leave my some feedback on this, and/or other stuff on The Underhive Hero.
Comment on this post, on my Armies of the Imperium Wip thread on the Bolter and Chainsword, or hit me up @DarKHaZZl3 on Twitter.

Thanks for reading.

42. A Road to Glory. Sisters of Battle Part 13.

Hahahahahhahahah....

Yes They are back! The nuns with guns have returned!!

I finally got round to painting a test model.
YES THAT IS RIGHT. A FINISHED TEST MODEL!







The light washes most of the highlights out.
That being said, I want to bring the bone up 1 shade, and the purple on the tabbard could do with more layers and a brighter final highlight.

But for a proof of concept I'm relativity happy.

Ignore the base though... painting marble is another thing entirely.
Something that will require some practise and experimentation.

But yeah.
The Sisters! They Live!!!

41.Random Update part 9. Killing Them With Kindness (and a Little Spite).

So yeah, I can't be arsed to paint lamppost right now.
Go figure!

   In the meantime I'm painting all sorts of odds and ends... as you saw by my recent completed dwarf.
I guess this is just to keep my mind on painting, without drowning my enthusiasm with painting just one same process over and over.
That and ya'know, little pieces for my gaming board are not all that exciting.


Anyway, here is another little side project.

I posted this on the Bolter and Chainsword a few days back.
Unlike there, I feel I can go into more detail here.
Story time!

  A considerable amount of time ago I had a group of friends.
We'd meet up regularly and game, drink and generally be merry.
One day it all just stopped. Me and another of my friends were frozen out.

Snap back to not too long ago. I start a new relationship with someone which opens my eyes to why all this happened.
And it is petty.
Vindictive.
And just a dick move all round.

Justifiably I was angry, but as time goes this anger has faded.
I got the vast majority of those good folk back in my life now.
But I am still a little bitter.

One day, my girlfriend mentions that the instigator of this cluster fuck asked her to paint some models.
To which I replied 'fuck that shit.'

But then I thought, you know what?
I'll paint them. And well too!

I'm kind of being the bigger man.... but not really.
At the end of the day these models will have been painted by me, and everyone will know that.
I think that will be more irritating than anything; receiving praise knowing it is all down to someone you tired to freeze out.

The models in question are Space Marines of the Ultramarines, second company.

So here is the progress so far;





I managed to get the 'prototype' miniature basically finished.



So yeah. A few touch ups, and nine more to go.

HA

40. Random Update part 8. Progress Dwarfed by Procrastination. PUN! Maybe!

  Yup, I guess the sentence makes sense....just?

Well this is the cause of my lull in progress;

 

I PAINTED A COMPLETE MODEL!!!!!

This post shall be therefore be a Hall of Honour post (and maybe the first of my Fantasy posts)!!!

FUCKING A!

30. Random Update; that from this point out will have a name, 4: Blood Bowl! Part 2 (technically).

YES! Technically! Blood Bowl was my first post in the 'Random Update' Series! So in your FACE!

Ehem.

Sorry about that. But you know? FOOOTBBAWWWWLLLL. ROWDDDYNNESSSS. RAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHH.
Or something along those lines.

So yeah, I've done some Blood Bowl stuff.

I got back into the idea after Blood Bowl the PC game came up on the Humble Bundle a month or so back.

Here is my prototype;







Not a fantastic job, I know.
But;
A) Prototype,
B) Table Top standard
C) FOOTBBBAWWWWLLLLLLL

Since then I've started painting the rest.
I also managed to get my hands on a Griff Oberwald and Varg Ghoulchewer, so both the Orks and the Humans have a star player to liven things up a bit.

Do any of you guys play Blood Bowl?
Let me know/tell me what you think of it/the PC game/my work

FOOTBBAWWWLLL!
