Librarian Complete...

Ha! Well he is 99% complete. I just have to let the greenstuff under his foot dry so I can paint that up and then seal him with dullcote. I am happy with the way he turned out overall. Sadly my photo setup isn't the best so small details don't show as well like the sword which I tried something different on and it doesn't show up on camera. Oh well. Either way I am sure he will make his new owner very happy. I will take a night off to paint something different and then I will try to finish up the chaplain which isn't too hard. My goal is to have him complete by Thursday at the latest. I hope you guys like him!

Almost there...

Just like the title says. This guy is almost done. Basecoats are down, shading is done on most of him. Now on too the highlighting and details. I figured I would show everyone where he is, since I haven't posted an update in the past few days. Work and being sick have limited my time. My personal goal is to have him done by Monday night at the latest...

Librarian Update...

So my allotted time for working on the conversion part of the Librarian has come to an end. Sadly I can only really spend the rest of this week working on painting this guy and finishing up the Chaplain. I couldn't find my heat gun (I recently moved) and thus I was unable to make a proper loin cloth for him. However I have to admit I am happy with the end result and a new one of a king Librarian for the Storm Warden army. Here he is prior to priming. I will be sure to have plenty of WIP shots of how I paint him. Now I have to decide (time plays a factor), do I want to paint lighting effects on him? ie Glowing eyes that brighten the area around them. Maybe his left hand? We will have to see as I jump in to painting tomorrow. I hope you guys like him, I know I would like to keep him ;) Oh and I may still switch out his left shoulder pad. I have tonight to think on it before I prime him in the morning. Maybe I will try and sculpt one overnight.

The Librarian... WIP

So here he is in his current concept phase. Parts are still removable. I have some iconography to complete to put on various things like the cross guard on his nemesis force weapon, hoses, coils, things like that. The main 2 things I am contemplating on doing to the model is to make him more upright (he seems like he is leaning too far forward), and the other is to possibly do a green stuff tabard or robe. Like I said before, I may be making this way too complex and may dial it back more. We'll see, nut at least he will make a nice centerpiece for the army... any suggestions are always welcome!

Tonights Stormwarden Progress...

So tonight I haven't achieved a whole lot. Well visually anyhow. I did manage to get both bases painted (I must say they are beautiful bases that were donated by Secret Weapon Miniatures) and some green stuff/conversion work on the 2nd model I am working on. I have a grand vision for this guy, but since time is an issue... I may have to drop it down a level or two in design. So some pictures are better than no pictures at all, and progress is after all progress! Please donate to this worthy cause everyone. We are putting a lot of time and effort in to this project. And there is a ton of awesome prize support being given out! And who knows, you could win this super sexy army that will be 1 of a kind!

Storm Warden Chaplain WIP

So here is a quick little update to let you all know where I am on my half of the project.

Imperial Fists

Here is also all that remains of my Imperial Fists. I will post an article soon that tells you the basics on how I painted them. I did win a bronze Golden Demon in Baltimore 05 for the Lysander. Enjoy!

Drink deep in victory...

Some of my original Blood Angels 2nd Co. Sadly these are the only pictures and the army was stolen. Both my infantry to this army and a 2000 pt Ogre Kingdoms army were in the same case :( If you ever see these exact models let me know. I'd gladly pay for the information after I slap the hell out of someone and get them back. I have some hidden artists marks on them that nobody knows about.
