136. Leman Russ - A Comission Project part 2. Project complete

So, Hi, Hello,

It has been forever, and I can only apologies for that.

In short, 8th edition has killed my hobby drive for 40k.
And for the most part, that used to make up a large portion of my hobby in geneal

I haven't been inactive hobby wise though, just primarily doing non-40k things like Age of Sigmar, Bloodbowl and so on (Check out my Instagram)
However, I did tease the Leman Russ Commission I'd been working on.


The good news is that I finished that a while back and the client was very happy.

The better news is that it won my local gaming clubs 'best single miniature' & ;'best in show' award.
The BEST news is that it also managed to snag me a finalist pin at this years Golden Daemon/ Warhammer Fest in the 40k single miniature category!

Well pleased with that.
Here are the photo's of the final thing for you!


















And for a sneaky bonus, a picture of it in the Golden Daemon cabinet




The green dot indicates it made it to the finalists
Sneaky picture of the pin





Considering this is my first entry into Golden Demon I will take that!



I'll try and update this thread as/ when I have to show off... but do expect it to be very slow going forward (unless there are some Demons I can shoe horn in here XD)

135. Teaser: Leman Russ - A comission project.

So a substantial time ago I was commissioned to paint the Primarch of the Space Wolves, Leman Russ.

I finally finished him a few weeks ago, so I'm going to photograph him, however, I thought I'd show you a little teaser to whet your appetite.








That's all you're getting for now.

I'll see if I can dig out any more WIP shots of him to throw at you before posting the completed model

Until then!

So yeah, a super quick update

Enjoy!

113. Coil, coil, melta and trouble. Salamabnders part 10.

Half a month eh?
Well, a lot has happened. I am officially 'unemployed' now after being made redundant (something I will post on my main blog about at some point).
I have some agency work to fall back on, but times may be tough in the coming months... we'll have to wait and see.


Good job I have enough hobby to last me until the end of time right?

So, speaking of hobby, let's move on with some.

A while back I managed to get myself to Warhammer World in Nottingham.
If you are unaware of this magical location, it is GW's head office and as such has a Forge World shop.

I got some bits and bobs; namely, 5 multi metlas (the resin under slung heresy ones) for my Salamanders.




The cleaning up wasn't too bad... a good deal of flash between the melta barrels, but nothing a good, sharp knife couldn't fix.



This was the main problem.
The power coils are straight and to not be.
Bending resin is not one of my all time favorite activities.
I always feel like I'm going to bend it too far, or it wont be warm enough and then break or I'll melt it with a hair dryer.

With a little effort and some patience I managed to make a start.



Have done the rest, will post with pictures of each individual devastator, and again once I've added details and green stuffed some stuff.

The Power armoured contingent of the Salamanders is almost complete!!

Until next time.
