Thor’s Workbench: Daemon Prince WIP #3

Daemon Prince: Work in ProgressA quick update on my Daemon Prince. At this stage I’m working on the skin and I have most of the skin close to completion. I haven’t touched the white/blue skin yet for the wings, that’s next, but I’ve hit the rest of the skin. The final touch on the skin will be some extreme highlights where appropriate.

Battle Report: Overview & Musings

Battle Report: MusingsLast night I managed to get in two games with my Chaos Marines. We have a tournament this month that’s 1,850 with Imperial Armor allowed. I don’t own any IA stuff so it’s bog standard stuff for me.

Thor’s Workbench: Daemon Prince WIP #2

Daemon Prince: Work in ProgressI’ve made a lot of progress since the very early shot last week. At this stage most everything is base coated, still a few details to pick out. I’ve shaded the blue parts of the armor and the metallics. The wings are mostly complete, the webbing part anyway. There’s a few small things to wrap up and then it’s on to the skin, which will take the longest amount of time but subsequently show the greatest results once done.

Battle Report: Team Tournament Practice

Battle Report: ChaosNext month a bunch of us from my FLGS will be traveling to Massachusetts for a team tournament hosted by the Dorkamorka club. It’s a 2K team tournament, so 1K per-player. Each player has the normal compulsory choices and then, basically, share the rest of the force org.

Chaos Rumors: Do You Hear the Voices Too?

Chaos RumorsThe latest Chaos rumors are flying. Do a quick search and you’ll see them everywhere. My take is simple, I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m not going to take time explaining why I think they’re bogus because that just feeds the beast.

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP #3

Disciples of Twilight EmblemI’m still plugging away on the Chaos Rhino. I have the free hand done, unless I decide to add more, and everything is base coated and shaded now. I’ve begun some of the highlights, which you’ll see, but I’ll need to go back in and clean some of those up later.

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP (Update)

Disciples of Twilight EmblemI was hoping to get more accomplished on the Rhino yesterday but progress was slower than expected. I’ve only painted three Rhinos before this and they were far easier being that they were all black as a base color, so base coat and highlight. The extra work in doing a half scheme on this one and the added time for shading was pretty significant.

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP

Chaos Rhino WIP 1I have the day to paint so I’m getting started on a Chaos Rhino after finishing up a Plague Champion earlier (shots in a few days). I’m aiming to get this Rhino mostly complete today since it’s not often I have an entire day for painting.

Obliterators Complete

ChaosI began working on these Obliterators last month. In no time I had 90% of it complete but that last 10% would be 90% of the work. I had put up WIP shots of them where I was working, for the first time really, with OSL (object source lighting). Ron over at From the Warp, gave me a lot of great feedback. The problem was it meant I had to redo some things, and I agreed, yet I had to set them aside for another project, one that was time sensitive. When that was completed, the time sensitive project, I came back to these Obliterators renewed and completed them.

Hobby: Oblits WIP #2

Oblits WIP 2I was really aiming to get these Oblits done this past weekend but with a tournament on Saturday my time was short. I took a quick shot of them on Monday morning and the lighting is bad. I turned on one of my painting lights but it washed out the colors. Ah well, not going to go to great lengths for WIP shots!

Thor’s Workbench: Oblits WIP

Oblits WIPNot a lot to show in the picture but here’s what’s on my workbench. Yesterday I worked on assembling, more like finishing, two Rhinos and 5 Chosen. I got them so they are about 90% complete, good enough to field at least, and then felt like painting and set them aside.

Quick Report: Campaign Week #2

Campaign: Ass KickingAs Luke mentioned recently, we began a campaign at our FLGS. In short it’s very much Battle for Macragge in nature where we square off all Xenos against all Imperial players. Campaigns have always been a high point for the shop and everyone was looking forward to this.

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Marines

Chaos Marines - WorkbenchAfter having wrapped up my Greater Daemon of Slaanesh it’s time to get back to building. Right now I’m working on getting 5 Chaos Marines together and 5 Chosen. I’ve been proxying them but there’s no need to since I have the models; I just need to get them together. So, here you see the progress as of this morning. I’m hoping to have them ready for Wednesday, which is 40K night at my FLGS. I may not need them for that night but at least it gives me a deadline.

Painting: Greater Daemon of Slaanesh Complete

Slaanesh IconWell, I haven’t a lot to say about this model, my Greater Daemon of Slaanesh, other than I’m happy with how it came out. It’s my first time painting a model of this size and it was far harder than I expected. All the arms made it hard to get good angles for painting and just awkward in general. I also opted for a simple base with small decoration. I’m not a fan of overly elaborate bases.
