hallowedknights "FOR SIGMAR"
Tim the Enchanter posted a blog entry in The Creeping Tendrils of Chaos
So after a month I have finished the get started stormcast eternal boxed set. I have had so much fun and satisfaction painting them up and can thoroughly recommend the range. My inspiration comes from listening to the hallowed Knights audio dramas and the tales of Tarsus and his mission to seek audience with Nagash! Its an awesome set and really gets me immersed into the background. This is very much just the beginning of these and I'll be adding plenty more narrative themed units to them as the army grows. So here we are, the beginnings of my Hallowed Knights Alongside the warriors of Sigmar I also made a start on their unlikely ally who will 'help' them on their journey through the realm of shyish... more on this aristocrat coming soon... -

Back....and one of the faithful!

After a lengthy hobby break I'm back! The audio dramas have been a huge inspiration for me and I got the stormcast bug! Chatting with local Rotherham GW manager Liam (awesome dude!) he mentioned they had started an AoS event based around building a new force and expanding it over several months. Picking up the stormcast getting started box I've been really loving the models. And they are a joy to paint!after the getting started box is done i'll be adding judicators and some more retributors. i'm going to theme the force on the hallowed Knights 'Bull Hearts' from the audio books. I've got loads of ideas for adding units and writing scenarios for awesome games. more updates coming soon -
It's been a while sadly, so busy in non hobby life! My latest efforts have been to get a couple more blood reavers finished, my mighty lord of Khorne completed and purchased Gorechosen for yet more awesome models! Not a great deal I know but some progress! Ive also assembled 10 blood warriors to join the ranks of the bloodbound. So my current plan for the rest of the year is me trying to be realistic. Finish 20 blood reavers, Bloodstoker and 10 blood warriors. Should be possible but we'll see as I got a little distracted by the listening to the hallowed Knights quest to find Nagash audio books. And this happened...Only the faithful then... Be back soon I hope

SLAUGHTERPRIEST!!!
Tim the Enchanter commented on Tim the Enchanter's blog entry in The Creeping Tendrils of Chaos
Hi, Cheers for the comment The axe was pretty straight forwards. Using thinned paints I started with khorne red, followed by evil sunz scarlet. I added kislev flesh to evil sunz for the first highlight and then pure kislev as the edge highlight. thinned evil sunz was used for the slight glow on the blade. That's it really. I tried to keep it simple -
SLAUGHTERPRIEST!!!
Tim the Enchanter commented on Tim the Enchanter's blog entry in The Creeping Tendrils of Chaos
Cheers matey, totally flattered! To be honest I followed the painting tutorial from Warhammer TV for the flesh initially. Using thin coats over a black undercoat. Rakarth flesh in 2 coats followed by flayed one flesh in 2 coats. the aim to get a nice smooth skin. After this I washed it all with reikland flesh shade, but thinned with lahmian medium to keep the colour less vibrant. after this it was a case of layering flayed one flesh where I wanted it and working up to pure white in the highest spots. I then added another layer of shading in the really deep recesses using firstly carroburg crimson and then druchii violet, thinned again, to alter the skin tone. And that's it to be honest. Just took my time and thinned my paints. I've learnt to be very...more patient with my painting... -
Time is flying by this month! So with the new White Dwarf enjoying awesome, and deserved, success, I have cracked on and finished my free slaughterpriest for my bloodbound. I have admittedly already painted one up for my warband so this time I thought I would add another character. The aspiring Deathbringer is currently being sold with the old Champion of Khorne model so I thought I would update is presence on the battlefield with something new. May I present my Aspiring Deathbringer of khorne. I am extremely pleased with the finished model and I have received some extremely generous comments an Facebook and twitter. I can't stress enough how important it is to keep painting if you want to improve. I've been trying to do at least 1/2 hour a day to keep a brush in my hand and I hope its paying off! Hes going to get a flash picture for the competition running on TGA and then we'll see how I fare. My next project is the Mighty Lord of Khorne and a blood Stoker and assembling blood warriors, but that's for another blog entry...

After a few crazy weeks at work I return!! Finally got some hobby in this week and finished all the base coats and shading on my first batch of blood reavers. I am really enjoying building my bloodbound. AoS is infectious! My small warband is growing and creating its own character as I paint up units and characters. Ive managed to catch up on all my pod casts and particularly annoying recent topics regarding painting time and optimising painting opportunities. picked up my new white dwarf, dropped it in water, bought another and now have 2 awesome slaughterpriest to play with. With Mr Curry announcing a fun painting comp this month with the free model I thought I'd have a go. I'm going to try something completely different with this guy and try a different colour pallette. I really want to improve my painting so any opportunity to do it, like competitions, is an excellent way to help me. Talking of new white dwarf, WOW!!, it's so awesome! This last year has brought my hobby back to when I was just starting out and everything was exciting, looking forward to every release and nugget of newness. I'm even sniffing every new book again ;D GW for life!!

Cheers dude To start is a black undercoat, followed by dry brushing! Doombull brown at first, followed by Khorne red. Leaving pure black in the deepest areas. A wash of abbadon black over it. Then using a wet pallet I used Khorne red, evil sunz scarlet and troll slayer orange in varied and escalating mix to build layers of colour where I wanted it. The deepest shaded parts are pure black and the dry brushing and wash give it a gradual blend right up to orange. the final highlights are Kislev flesh mixed with a small amount of white. the scales are individually highlighted in this way as well. i wanted to create the impression the skin hues were shifting colour and the brightest areas are where the most violence was building up! hope that helps? And thanks for the great comments -
A quick update... So, frustratingly, I have not gotten much done last couple of weeks. Real life stuff etc... Anyway, I have managed to get some more done on the blood reavers and really love the new bloodbound range. However, just recently I picked up a couple of audio books starring the hallowed knights and one mannfred von Carstein! I am completely enthralled with the character and built this guy... Still early days but I think I'll model him in such a way he is fighting in one of the great battle scenes from the audio books. More of that later...
