Selling Infinity

Nobody is playing Infinity in my area, and I'm too lazy to have the trouble to arrange something.

Weird pack

Life isn't perfect.

Tharn Wolf Rider WIP

I've been posting some WIPs recently. Here's another one. I started to paint some Hordes again as we have a "slow grow" Journeyman league going on. I already painted Warpwolf Stalker, Argus, Argus Moonhound, pKaya, eKrueger and Shadowhorn Satyr. They are gaming pieces which are my usual standard (= nothing special), so I think I won't post anything else about them - also given my current situation of bad photography equipment.

These raiders are rather okay casts, but the sculpts are fantastic methinks. First one for color scheme, and I think I'll keep it. Still tons of work to be done, but I'm not in a hurry with these. I only have two at the moment, so I still should buy the "min unit" box to complete a unit of five.

Necromancer 2.0

Better image. After taking these I fixed the paintjob a bit. It's a gaming piece, so maybe not necessary but getting a clearer image, I saw what was wrong with the miniature.

Meatpuzzle

My first fantasy football team. Usable at least in Blood Bowl. The team is supposed to represent team Necromantic and is called 'Meatpuzzle'.

I'm not entirely happy with the paintjob, but it was a quickie and an excuse to update my blog. Once again, I've been painting a lot, but as you can see my photography environment/equipment hasn't improved. Thus, more regular updates have to wait. Maybe during spring I'll start posting weekly again.

PS. People saying Mantic minatures being "better" than Games Workshop products should seriously re-examine their Mantic products and think again. Yes, some Mantic sculpts are good or even superior, but the casting quality is WAY behind current Games Workshop standard. As playing figures Mantic products serve "okay", but if one would want to use them for showcase painting, I'd suggest to look somewhere else.

Necromancer

I haven't done any real updates for a long time. I have been painting a lot, but the thing is, light situation in Finland during winter is terrible which doesn't help my already bad photos at all. I really want to get some kind of lightbox done and purchase some daylight lamps before I start to update the blog regularly.

My painting has been improving (a little) and the sad photos don't do it justice. For example, I tried my hand on wet blending here which was rather succesfull, but is not translated through this bad photo. No extenders, retarders and such - just plain water. It works very well, but one has to be fast. The results were very promising. The dark and light areas in the red are not caused by bad lightning - they are painted in.
