Experimental Thousand Sons

Posted on May 16, 2013 06:00 am by jdbrink

tson1aI managed to find time to paint today, most of which i spent on this Thousand Son model.  As much as I like the traditional yellow and blue stripes, I decided I wanted to try something different.  I went with a turquoise blue kinda look…  and when I was finished I really liked it.  Now, hours later, looking at the photos and the model, I’m not quite as sure…  Read more...

Rebel Grots: Infantry squad Yellow 2 PIP

Posted on March 25, 2013 09:09 am by Kamui

Hello all,

The home improvement efforts continue but I did manage to get some painting time in this week.  I’m batch painting the grunts and weapon crew.  So far I’ve made it through the skin tones and laid the base for the blacks and blues.  It’s enough that they’re starting to take shape.  Read more...

Thor’s Workbench: Heldrake WIP (Update #2)

Posted on March 23, 2013 11:24 am by Thor

HeldrakeI know Rob @ Warhammer39,999 loves it when I do updates to models that have made seemingly little progress and all but here’s an update on my Heldrake :P Seriously though, I do these little updates to keep my motivation going. I often reach these points where I sit back and think, I’ve actually made some progress. This is one of those points.  Read more... (244 words, 2 images, estimated 59 secs reading time)

Thor’s Workbench: Heldrake in Progress (WIP #1)

Posted on March 19, 2013 06:30 am by Thor

HeldrakeI absolutely love the Heldrake. It’s been one of my most consistently performing units game to game and I like the model as well. It has also been a model I have not been looking forward to painting because there’s a lot too it. I enjoy painting detailed and intricate models but this thing just has so much surface area that I know damn well it’s going to take me forever with what little time I’ve had lately for painting.  Read more...

Thoughts: Painting with Style

Posted on March 3, 2013 06:30 am by Thor

Mona Lisa - StyleThere’s no shortage of articles related to painting your miniatures that focus on technique, color theory and the like. The thing that often seems lacking in most of these articles is style. Over time we all develop a style of painting and some times we don’t even realize it. I know I had a style of painting long before I became aware of it.  Read more... (1022 words, 11 images, estimated 4:05 mins reading time)

Orky Lifecycle

Posted on February 24, 2013 05:13 pm by jdbrink

The Ork Codex talks about the green tide reproducing by spores released when they die, if I remember correctly.  Well, I’m not really talking about that.  On Thor’s latest Disciples of Twilight paint posting we were commenting about the painting process and it made me want to make this post, which I had actually thought ahead about.  Read more...

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Marines WIP #2

Posted on February 20, 2013 09:06 am by Thor

Disciples of Twilight Paint SchemeIt doesn’t look like it but I have made a lot of progress on these guys since last week. The armor is now all base coated and the half scheme cleaned up. Now I need to do some more clean up on the sombre grey, pick out details, do some washing and highlighting. It’s the base coating on these guys that takes all the time, getting all that trim, so I’m into the home stretch.  Read more... (206 words, 2 images, estimated 49 secs reading time)

A Very Big Fist

Posted on February 17, 2013 06:00 am by jdbrink

I’d like to contribute to Creative Twilight more than I do but you know how it is: real life’s always getting in our way.  But I can at least share another Crimson Fist model with you (I don’t get much painting done so I have to show what I have).

Thor’s Workbench: WIP Chaos Marines

Posted on February 13, 2013 08:28 am by Thor

Disciples of Twilight Paint SchemeAfter wrapping up my Cultists last week I figured I’d stick with troops for now on the painting front. I’ve had the other half of this squad painted for a while now and figured it was about time to get the full squad finished.  Read more... (192 words, 2 images, estimated 46 secs reading time)

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Cultists WIP #3

Posted on February 5, 2013 06:30 am by Thor

Disciples of Twilight EmblemWell, the latest batch of Cultists is almost done. Not much to say other than I’m working on the basing now and the rest is complete. Usual disclaimer, quick shot and some day (in a time far, far away), I’ll get some proper shots taken.  Read more... (81 words, 2 images, estimated 19 secs reading time)

Rebel Grots WIP: First Infantry Squad Paint in Progress

Posted on February 4, 2013 08:09 am by Kamui
This entry is part 6 of 14 in the series Rebel Grot Infantry Yellow Platoon

Hello all,

After a little more green stuff and basing I decided I was ready to start painting the first infantry squad for my Rebel Grots (Imperial Guard allied detachment.)  I hadn’t chosen the color scheme yet but I had narrowed it down to a few options.  I decided to paint up a quick color test to help me make a decision:

Thor’s Workbench: Cultists WIP #2

Posted on January 30, 2013 09:19 am by Thor

Disciples of Twilight EmblemI’m continuing work on my Cultists, trying to get the unit done. The first five are done and will get sealed today. This batch has four as I save the Champion to do last and give him some more attention than his squad. Here’s a quick shot of them.  Read more...

Scouting Ahead

Posted on January 24, 2013 06:30 am by jdbrink

sniper - groupWhile I have two blogs (and other projects) of my own to maintain, I am also an occasional guest here at Creative Twilight (thanks, Thor).  And i wanted to get my foot in the door over here as far as blogging some of my models rather than just controversial rule-bending.  So I decided to send my scouts over to check out the scene and establish a beachhead, as it were.  Read more...

Thor’s Workbench: Cultists WIP #1

Posted on January 23, 2013 09:29 am by Thor

Disciples of Twilight EmblemI haven’t done one of these for a while because I lost motivation. My break from painting after The Standish Standoff kept getting longer and longer. Coupled with all the major ass kickings I’ve been receiving lately, well, interest has not been there. However, it was time to break the dry spell and finish off some Cultists I started months ago.  Read more... (141 words, 2 images, estimated 34 secs reading time)
