Grandfather Nurgle part II

First things first.
This is a jump start on the goal for May, i know. But as it is soon a lot of work hitting me in the face, i need to get a head start!

Salt and hairspray... Crapad00dle!

Tried out a air brush for the first time and it is as the say on some 'learn how to page' If you think of all your hours with a brush, why should you master the air brush from the get go?

Because i WANT to, that's why!

Anyway, learned this by doing it wrong:

Spray on a distance
Use small grained salt or grind your big flakes.
HOT water and a gentle brush
Don't overdo it.
Use rust pigments instead, much easier, less time, less mess...

And when you use pigments, its also a new skill, DAMN IT !

Pic for you to snicker at. I hope i can make them look somewhat nurglish in a few more days.

The goal for Tale of X Gamers this May is:
A squad of old renegade miniatures representing Death Guard and a Rhino to transport them. I will try to use the Salt and Hairspray technique for the rust and decay of body, soul and metal.

A pic of the extremely nice old models (made 1989):

Who said that they couldn't model miniatures before plastic....

Tale of X Gamers, Goal for April

Finished, Yay !

This is a tribute to all my long hours in the 90's trying to make the the darkness show in my Chaos models. I want this army to be dark and gruesome, true to the myth and easy to paint... (oh well) 

The first unit that stands ready are: 
Khornate Berzerkers:
8 of them, red, black and brass. 

Made in an attempt to speed paint and some eye candy. I don't use transfers, i don't like em! And i want the drawing to be sketchy and look painted. A tribute of old and a nice chaos feature in my pow and most of them variants of the Eye of Horus. 

Thoughts are to use the black rims as a base color as Horus first legion walked by the name Lunar Wolves (White armor/Black rims) You will hopefully see a few more things inspired by the Lunar wolves and hopefully it will blend in nicely. Though as Berzerkers, they don't really blend in, they are red...

Used red as base, black wash.
Trying to make the black more bluish-black rather than grey
White is plain and dirty, as meant to.
Brass is aged, what, do you really think the warp will make brass shine like gold... ohh nope, not in my book! oh, pics you say?

Tale of X Gamers

Ny inriktning...
Nu måste det bara bli gjort. Latmasken får ge vika och en arme som hängt med sen tidigt 90-tal ska få nytt ljus. Nya figgar, gamla figgar... gott och blandat helt enkelt!

Blood for the blood God, Skulls for the skull throne !

Första dansen står 8 (naturligtvis) Khorne Bezerkers för:

Prima liv, prima rött!
