Warmachine Hordes Weekend Photo Dump 051815

I was not too productive last weekend as me and my son played a lot of games. We just got the Warmachine PRIME MKII Rule Book ( at long last ) and enjoyed playing the games with an almost complete rule ( my son hates the terrain rules as he plays Khador ). We had to swap armies a couple of times ( Cryx vs Khador ) as he loves my stealth models.



Me and my son also got a few additional units and models for our Cryx and Khador army. I got a Necrotech and a unit of Scrap Thralls and my son got a unit of sexy Kayazy Elminators and a unit of Doomreavers. Obviously we only play assassination games, thus my son requests for assassination models. My son is also requesting for a full unit of Assault Kommandos to counter my Bile Tralls.



I did manage to squeeze time to work with the new models and some commissioned works.

As I am painting a ton of models ( commissioned works and personal army ), I thought I just mix some seldom used old Vallejo paints for the base color of the ground work. Vallejo says that all their paints can be mixed together so I gave it a try.



I used a Panzer Aces color mixed with a Game color Extra Opaque paint, thinned with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner. As expected if you know your medium well enough and is well accustomed to thinning Vallejo acrylics for airbrush use, it will work mighty fine! And it did! Great stuff as I saved my precious Vallejo Game Airs for painting the base color of the ground work of all the bases of the models in the photos below.



I was also able to do a bit of work on my Extreme Warp Wolf commissioned work and pretty happy with the dry-brushing results so far. A ton more updates and surprise Gunpla posts coming soon! Thanks as always for dropping by! Just enjoy the hobby! :)

Helga the Conqueror Minion Warlock - Commissioned Work

I finished this cool little Helga the Conqueror model at the same time as the Alexia Ciannor and the risen models. Both are primed, hand painted, and varnished with Vallejo acrylics. Nothing to write home about, but I do love the model so much. This is what is so fun about commissioned works, you get to paint and work on models you are not aware of or models that you never plan ( or need to ) buy for yourself.



I feel I painted this a bit darker than usual. The excess washes was the result of painting it at the same time as the risen models which I intended to look dirty. The washes diffused the effect of the highlights in the photos but the model looks a tad better in person. Besides, my painting are friggin zoomed in in these photos ( lol ).



I hope you like my pig ( my client's pig ). Will have more models painted next weekend! Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next post guys! Just enjoy the hobby! :)

Gatorman Bokor and Bog Trog Swamp Shamblers verDC23 - Commissioned Work

These little buggers won me SILVER in a Unit Painting Contest at Facebook. These models are my first commissioned miniature painted models as of now. I have a ton more units ( commissioned work ) to paint and post here at my blog soon. I love doing minis these days as it requires so much less clean up and sanding work than Gunpla. My busy schedule just does not allow me to work on Gunpla unlike before.



These models from Privateer Press has very beautiful sculpts and a delight to hand paint. I did airbrush the main green color using Vallejo Game Airs and hand painted the details with various Vallejo colors as well. I loved adding blood all over the Bogs and the Gatorman, looking forward to painting more blood on my other models.



Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next post guys! Just enjoy the hobby! :)

Warmachine Hordes Weekend Photo Dump 040615

We had a 3 day break including Saturday last week and thus I think I was able to be very productive. This is not my norm as I report to a day job work ( 9 to 12 hours ) a day during weekdays. I did enjoy working on these Privateer Press miniatures for 3 days straight with a couple of Warmachine / Hordes games in between painting sessions with my 8 year old son and my 9 year old daughter.



Playing with my son and daughter makes this hobby extra fulfilling as you not only get to paint great looking miniature sculpts, you also get to spend quality playtime with your kids.



The purple Cryx army is mine as it is a trade-in payment for the commissioned works you see in this post. The Gatorman Bokor ( and Shamblers ), Alexia and the Risen, Khador Outriders, Mercenary Steelheads, Trollkin Long Riders and the Trollkin Champions are all commissioned works from the same client.



I also managed to squeeze a bit of time in painting my Mammoth and fully assembling the arms for the first time. Learned a lot painting these lot last weekend and hope to continue to work on them this coming weekend. Super fun stuff!



Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next post guys! Just enjoy the hobby! :)
