Next I'll be working on the details. The metal, the horns, the brassier and the base.

Chaos Sorcerer of Nurgle part 1

So, I've started work on a new miniature. Its a Nurgle Sorcerer, or Herald of Nurgle. I'm using an airbrush and washes mostly. This will be my first time using oil based washes and I'm trying to do the whole process properly and take my time. Here are a few progress pictures.
Primed with Vallejo airbrush grey primer.

 Airbrushed the skin with Reaper Master series Dune Shadow.

 Added Model Color white and airbrushed the highlights.

Next I will be doing both a purple oil wash followed by a blue wash.

This is the skin color I am trying to achieve.

A new beginning

I haven't posted here in a long time, longer than I realized and I thought now would be a good time. With all of the new Adeptus Mechanicus models out, and several new blogs I started following, I have been inspired to create a Dark Mechanicus army. Here is the first in many twisted creations. Excommunicate Traitoris Ordo Machinum Inquisitor Matthias Balthasar Harnak.

Inquisitor Matthias Balthasar Harnak was once a member of the Ordo Machinum on Mars. During his investigations he discovered the name Frenel. While investigating rumors of Dark Mechanicus activities he came across ancient data mentioning a house fallen during the Horus Heresy and largely expunged from Imperial and Martian records. Following up on the information he found led him to the Automnic Fraternal, a cell of House Frenel secretly operating on Martian soil. Inquisitor Harnak was discovered but rather than kill him he was turned over to the Memnopliad, a group within House Frenel dealing with mind manipulation and brain augmentation. Through torturous operations and organic reprogramming Inquisitor Harnak was turned into an agent of House Frenel. Harnak was used as a tool for eliminating those Mechanicus factions that opposed the Automnic Fraternal under the guise of the Ordo Machinum until his discovery and excommunication from the order. After the Ordo Machinum discovered and purged the Automnic Fraternal from Mars Harnak fled through a network of House Frenel safehouses till he was able to reach one of their Forge Worlds near the Eye of Terror. There he made contact with House Frenel directly and was taken to Karchemesh. Matthias Harnak, as befits one of Inquisitor stock, has over the years worked his way into the inner circles of House Frenel. Through his years of service to House Frenel Harnak has been surgically alter by the Magos Biologis he served to a more resiliant and deadly form. There is little left of Inquisitor Matthias Balthasar Harnak's original body or mind. Only his brain and iron will have survived the rigorous alterations of House Frenel.

Nurgle Iron Warriors

I have recently traded for a lot of chaos and I am working on an Iron Warriors chaos army. Here are some pictures of models I've recently finished.

Gallows Demon

So, I started and finished a new project. I finally got my hands on the beautiful treewoman by Ultraforge. She is amazing and there are lots of pictures of her on the internet. So I felt compelled to put a new spin on her and make her into a demon for Warhammer 40k. I'll be using her as either a Bloodthirster or a Lord of Change. I painted her in about two and a half hours. The only part I airbrushed was the nooses, because they more around when you touch them and it was impossible to paint them by hand, I did some washes on them though.

Gorkamorka Buildings update

Progress continues on the Gorkamorka buildings. I've added glyphs and writing to the walls, as well as a little graffiti. Next I'll be adding extra scrap to the outside to cobble it up a little and make it look more orky.

I've also been working on a second building. Progress on these is going very quickly.

Gorkamorka Building 1

So, I'm helping my brother with a project. He is rewriting the rules for Gorkamorka. He is using a combination of Games Workshop rules and Malifaux rules. I am painting the buildings for him. Its good practice for using my airbrush. I'm using a combination of airbrush and weathering pigments. Here are the early results. I will also be trying to create graffiti using my airbrush, but my early attempts have caused me to have to redo some of the walls. I'll give it another try once I practice on some paper. I also plan on adding orky "improvements" to it.
