Got some games and my Cards.

Ello,

Last week i was in Gothenborg to visit my brother and his son that turned 3 years old. It was fun to get a game in there on the floor he did not have a good table to play on hope that he will fix that for the next time i go over there.

I also got a chans to go by GW GbG and speak a bit there it was a lot of fun, and the store mangers was so nice. I also got my cards for the tyranids i have a hard time to keep all the stuff in my head atm and im thinking in Warmachine ruls haha. When i got home i did what all cards need to do, i laminerad (dont know what it is called in Eng) now my cards will never break or get dirty. 

Now i need to take a small break from 40k and paint up the last models for my hordes army im of soon for a tournament.

that all for now,

Better images of the Nidz

Hi,

A fast post whit some better images of the Tyranids that i have been working on now, drop me a comment if you have some feedback.

Haruspex what a dude !!!!

Hi there,

To day i have been working on my Haruspex and i must say this was a awsome kit. lot´s of fun to build and work on and it feels good in the hand to when you are working on it. And now for a small work log on the Haruspex  that i have done.

This is the Haruspex sort of done, just have the gore and eye´s left to do on him.

Here are all the parts that I will be working on.

I prime the model in brown this will help the yellow colour to stick better to the model.

I now prime all of the parts of the model of a mix of yellow and brown. this is my base cote and I will be working up the colour from here.

I now put on the first high light of yellow to the model after that I paint in the shadows. this time it was whit a dark brown some times i have a bit of dark blue. I think that give the shadows some more life but not to day.

here was a big problem for me so I had to wing it like a boss, the claws and plates would be the same colour. I feel that be boring and the claw would just disappear so i gave it some jade green just the same as the face. now i have some more colour in there and the claw will pop out some more. 

I hand paint all the parts of purple this way i will not over spray the model. it is easy to pain in the high lights whit the air brush but not so easy to base cote on a small area like this. that is way i like to paint it for hand. It will take some more time but the result is a lot better, but i spent most of the day trying to get my air brush to work. My megenta colour is old and cloges up all the time, that is also way this dude looks a bit diffrent from the others.


The rest I forgot to take some images!!! what i do is that i high light it whit purple and pink i normaly have pink and magenta i like that look a lot more. but as i was saying my magenta is over 10 years old now so it is not that wired that it is all mest up. 

well that is sort of it, if you have any questions just drop it in the comments and i will get back to you.

enjoy muffin ^_^

WIP atm

Hi here are some things that im working on now, a lot of tyranids. Im trying to get a small force done as fast as i can so that i can start to play them. I was going to try and get the hormas done to day but i just could not hold my hands of the big monster i will post more about it soon.

But here is the paint line.

that is all for now enjoy muffin.

more nidz.

Morning ppl,

So i keep on working on the nidz and i am having a good time, it is fun to se the army grow so fast. the other day i got 3 warriors done and have been working on the rest of my hormas when they are done i will have a unit of 20. I just have the purple left on them now and the oil wash then they are done nice and easy it is also fun to se that my skills have gotten this good. I now feel more like A army painter and that is a big motivation for me. when this army is done i plan on doing the rest of my PP skorne army and also a lizard men army that i have that army i will sell on Ebay or give it a try.

and another fun thing was that i got some fun new toys from the mail man :D So to day i will spend the day painting up the new big monster i just love the look of it, to bad it is not so good in game :( but i will try and get him to work. I have also built two tyrent gurds and they have magnets in the arms so that i can give them other weapons if i need that.

I will post better images when i have all of them done, and I still don´t know how I will paint the base.

but now im of to paint,

enjoy muffin.

Tyranids on the work.

Aloha,

So i have been on a long break now, but now im back and ready to go!!! Now that the new codex´s is coming out i feel that i need to re start my army. and this time i will paint up the hole army not like last time i have also done a new colour scheme for them. I think this will look better on the bored.

here you can se some WIPs and also the done models.

Brodlord V2 and some skorne colours.

Aloha,

after getting some feedback on the brodlord all over the net i feelt that i had to give it some colours around the eyes. i knew that a lot of peppol would say somthing about  the eyes that it needs some colour around the face area and so on. But i some how feel that it would be to much colour in one place. but i took in the feedback went back in to the shop and gave it some love ones more.

the base was green than i just added some yellow on to it to bring it up and last i brusht on yellow to the eye to give that area some more life, the images will not show it that well but i you ever get the chans to look at it live you will se it.

and here is the monster, ejnoy ppl.

And last night i spent some hours painting on a bronzback in Photoshop to try and find the colours for my army, this are the things that i had in mind when i was working and knew.

1. No metallic colours what so ever in the army.
2. No reds what so ever that makes it to easy to get the contrast, and every on has red.
3. Make the army stand out from the others but make it my own
4. Give it a dessert feeling but not in the stander way
5. How to i get in the colour green in the models, i feelt that green was a colour that id like to paint.
6. How do i keep it down to 4 colours? no more no less the only thing that i can do is bend the colours later on to get the shadows and high tones. 

And that was the things that i had in mind as i was working on the army and after two glasses of wine this is what i got. I feelt that i did not want to do the skin in a blue ton as a lot of ppl do it but in stead try and get it to look more dessert like. So lion was the animal that popt in to my mind they have sort of this golden brown ton to the fur and i love it. now to bend it some more to the darker browns and we are home. the only thing im not 100% sure on is the hair on the back. 

do i make it orange or some other colour what do you thing?

Well there you have it some uppdates and what im working on atm. 

and it makes me happy to se that more ppl are following me, that gives me a lot of motivation to post and press more on the models that i work on. So a big thx to all of you for coming by. 

love muffin

Brood Lord Done.

Aloha,


sorry for the lack of post working and been of on a tournament last weekend came 11 out of 28 players so i was super happy. it´s been a long time ago that i got a place that good in a warmachine tournament but now is not the time to talk about that sort of thing.

Last week i got this angry dude done and he turned out just awsome and it will be fun to send him home to to it´s master so that he can be happy and put it out there on the bored and just be a boss when he kills all the marines :D

i was going to give him big glowing eyes but then i change my mind just becuz i did not want to draw the focus from his hand. i did put down some time to get the blood on it good and it be a shame if ppl did not the that. Iv also been working some more on my rust and i feel that it is now on a level that i like a lot.

But there you have it, enjoy and ppl drop me a comment on that you think.

peace muffin.

Swarmlord done

Aloha,

I have now gotten my swarmlord done, well he has been done some days now iv just not had the time to take any images of him do of my work. But here he is at last the arms are not glued on yet as i will send this guy on the mail and it will be easy to pack him whit no arms and he will not break. 

It was a big monster to paint and it was some hard things here and there good thing is that i have done two of them before to my self so i know what i was going to get. and i had done all the basic aribrush misses before to so the masking this time was a lot faster. 

all that is left now is the brood lord that im working on now, well im working on the base on it atm and it will look killer when it is done. the ide is that he will be on a road and have built up his hill of skulls on it. 

but here is the swarmlord, plz leave me a comment on some feedback so that i know what to do better next time. 

peace muffin

Swarmlord WIP

Aloha, 

Here are the wip images on the swarmlord that im working on now, the first image is to show what sort of pose that im going for. And under you can se that he is a long way in now things that are left are all the bone parts hand some lines here and there. But to day after work when i came home i was dead. So im not in the mode to take a chans if i can paint, will try and get the last things done tomoz as i start late. 

So far this big plastic guy have been a lot of fun and i do like the new kit, it´s a blast to work whit it. 

well that is all for now, just a short post on the progress so far. 

enjoy muffin ^^

Tyranid Shrikers done

Aloha there,

So to day i got the shrikers done, and they look bad ass i must say. ones more i went all banans on them. I was trying out some new blendings on the wings whit a low PSI on the air brush and they came out good. but the images on them are not as good as they look not that good light out side now will try and get some better tomorrow when the sun is out.

They where a lot of fun to paint and i have gotten my paint spark back, now i will paint up some of my cryx and the brod lord at the same time will be fun to se that. but back to the tyranids now they have aribrush work on them and also the good old brush to, all the carapes are done by brush. i spent a lot of time to try and blend the colours in to them. in the end they look ok, im still not that good when it comes to blend colours. so i will try and get a lot better on that front. Im also new to mediums in the paint i only have water when i paint.

but this time i was trying out some mediums to make the paint thin and flow better when i was working whit it. and another problem that i found is that i need new brushes then ones i have are one year old now and there is nothing left of them. boy will i go nuts when i get my pay check new army and W&N brushs are on the list ^^

but now for some images, enjoy and i will post better tomorrow.

tyranid wip and Warmachine wip

Hi there,

Last week i have been working on some warmachine things for my self that need to be done by the end of this month, going of to finland to play in a tournament and the army must be fully painted and basets so i have some work to do.

And i have also been working on the tyranids a lot, i dont have any images atm to show you but will try and post up some later today. so that you can se the blends that i have been working on. they are not uber awsome but try to give them some life. Im not doing them the normal tyranid way where you paint lines on there carapes. i try to blend in colours to make them look more organic, like a bug.

I can say that this guys have given me back a lot of motivation to paint so feel that this week will be awsome for me. My next time to "work" is on friday so there is some time to paint now. the plan is to get this warriors done the brood lord more then 50% done and also some of my warmachine things done.

There is a lot of work that i need to put in now and i know that i will be dead by the end of it.

That is a small update on what will happen this week.

peace muffin

Tyranid shrikers WIP

Howdy,

So i have been working a bit on the shrikers now, they have the base cote on and the first layer of wash. now all the blending work will start then just a bit of air brush to melt some of the colours. all in all this is some early wip work on the tyranids. i will be doing some more work on them tomoro i just came back from work so im a bit tired in the head now. I work at a old folks home where they can forget things and repeat them over and over and i have my limit hehe

here are some images on the work i have done so far.

Jack and tyranid done.

Aloha,

last week i got one of the tyranids done and the jack was done under the weekend. tho i had some ppl over here from the US i found the time to get all the things done. Im not super happy whit how the jack came out but what can i do. In no way dos it look bad and the cool part is, that i did it whit a broken airbrush how´s that for some mad skills haha.

I have been working a bit on the broodlord now, but i think that it is better that i do the tyranid warriors that have some paint all ready. this week and next will be tyranid attack from planet hell week wiii!!!!!

I will also poke in some of my cryx in there need to have my own warmachine army done by the end of aug so there will be no time to sleep, but i don´t think there will be a problem whit that. I am also working on a review on the new commpressor that i just got it´s big and bulky but i love the big thing. now i can work for a longer time and i get more things done and the best part is that i can play whit the PSI to get some cool FX. need to work some more on that as that is all new for me but fun things are coming now.

and now it is time for some images, enjoy.

been a bit sick.

Aloha,

last week was not awsome for me at all, i was sick as hell but now im doing a lot better just some stress problems whit my stomach that makes it hurt like it is now ones business, crazy body.

But things that i have done on my down time is, gotten the last tau done images on them are to come soon. I have also done the last troop test tyranid, it was a lot of fun to paint that flappy and i gave the wings on it a new twist. Think that it will stand out a lot when you have 10+ of t hem side by side images are coming tomoz.

I was going to post some WIP images on the two jacks im working on but i forgot all about it to day as i got in the flow and work on pretty good on them, now i just need to lay down the red and then all the colours are on them. after that the fun part starts and that is to make it look like crap but in a good way.

I have also found a proxy model for my cryx army, but i will not say what model it is yet. my plan now is this. ones i have all my commission work done i will sit down 2-3 month and just paint up my cryx army. i have a lot of models and they all need my love i also have some models that i need to convert to brute thralls. for that i will be working whit one of my fav models ever and that is the Island of blood skaven rat oger. it is the size that i need and i finde them to be so cool the only down side is that they have fur. but i will find some way to work on that.

well that is some of the things that i have going for me over here. more fun stuff to come soon so stay tuned for some more fun stuff.

now i will hit the bed and get better, cuz feeling bad or to be sick sux.

tyranids - some troops

Aloha,

after doing some work on the wing i got the swing back to paint some tyranids. Its fun t o paint them after all the IG i have been working on, but the thing im looking the most forword to paint is the brood lord and swarmlord. next up is the flappy that i will paint up later on to day and after that i will start to work on some warriors that have been looking at me now.

as you can se the colours to t hem are sort of a normal tyranid look. black and red crapes i thnik they look a bit like fire flys now, they give a nice glow when you look at them from a far so they do stand out a bit when you put them on the tabel.

all i need now is my pay check so that i can go out and buy me some new gear that i need bad, the kompresor that i have here at home is broken now and there is not point to put it on all it dos is f@@@s up all the models.

enjoy the images.
