Realm of Battle Finished

Here's a walk through tutorial showing how I painted up the Realm of Battle modular board from Games Workshop. It is on the pricey side of things, but nice details and durable. I've also done a modular table for much cheaper if you want to check out that video.

I had my first games on this on the 27th with my brother and it was a blast. I also made up a wood frame to keep everything together and stable on top of a table that isn't quite 4 feet wide. I'll have to make up a tutorial for that one when I get a chance.

Hobbit Goblins Finished (+tutorial)

Here's the finished Goblins from the Escape from Goblin Town box. I mostly used the simple painting guide from the latest White Dwarf but took some artistic license with a couple steps. The most noticeable of those is the use of a red glaze to make the sores look infected.

Check out the video and all the still images after the break. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. I have been following taleofpainters.blogspot.ca and like their tutorials, so I may use those for the dwarves (and break out my painting rig to show the actual painting in fast forward). Hopefully I find time to do that over the Christmas Holidays.

Hobbit Goblins WIP

I've been working on these guys and am getting near the final stages. I used the basic scheme from the latest white dwarf (Pallid wych flesh), and added some red glaze to the growths to make them look gross. I'm doing the goblin king at the same time, but giving him a bit more attention with blending.

Hellbrute WIP

Yeah, I know, I'm working on the Hobbit stuff now, but in between steps I've been painting this guy up. Its a fun model and I find dreadnoughts to paint up fairly quickly (better than the bikes I still have to do). Anyway, here's what he looks like so far. Basically I sprayed him dark brown, did a quick gold base coat, added red base on the red areas and gave it an agrax earthshade wash.

Deathwing Terminators Finished

Here's the Deathwing Terminators from Dark Vengeance all finished. I've done up a better version of the painting guide and included the images below. Hopefully this makes it better for people trying to follow my tutorials. Check out the images below. The full painting guide is below the finished images, and are the same as what's in the video.

In other news, I set up a new photo booth in my painting room, so I should be able to improve the quality of my images going forward (of finished models anyway).

Temple of Skulls WIP

Along with all the other projects, I'm also working on the Temple of Skulls scenery piece from GW. I wanted this piece after playing a game at Black Knight Games for 'ard boyz and having it on the table we were using. Its pretty versatile and looks great on the board.

Hobbit Forces of Good Assembly

Here's all the forces of good from the new Hobbit boxed set, and assembling them. They are all press fit and some of them are single piece. I'm not a huge fan of the style of the dwarves and hobbits, but they are true to the movie and really well made.

Realm of Battle WIP

Here are some pics of the board I'm working on. I'm using the GW scenery pack and am painting it basically the standard way. I've just finished painting the base coat for the rocks and will be shading and highlighting them next. It should be ready for flock after that and then it'll just be a matter of painting all the skulls and I'll be done.

Unboxing The Hobbit Escape from Goblin Town

Here's a look at the new Hobbit boxed set and its contents. I'm not as much of a fan of the true scale mini's, but the set is quite nice. It'll be interesting to paint these guys up and have a go at the game. Any suggestions about which ones to start with? comments please.

Deathwing Termintaors WIP 2

I've had a hard time getting to my painting table on a regular basis, so these guys are taking longer than expected. The layer of redoing the white armour was quite slow, almost an hour each guy. Now that its done things should pick up an one more sitting should finish these guys off. I really like the warm colour of the armour, so I think its worth it.
