Nick in York Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I especially love the gory banner and the dude playing the drum on the boar. Hopefully will be able to get up to GW to see them in person in next few days. Life/work has been so busy lately so painting to a deadline has be hard for me too - especially as I'd run out of minis I'd painted previously!

Cheeky, everything was meant to be unpainted at the start of each heat Also as a general update, it's onto the display board! I have never done this before so it will be interesting, planning on getting some foam and building up a cliff section with a plateau, then glueing it to a base board of wood, which I will time permitting make a dry riverbed on. And will use some foam to make a ruined building with a wooden watchtower built ontop of, using some bits and bobs of wood from local craft shops. Will be a bit of a learning experience im sure, will need to pick up some supplies like sand and paint more appropriate for larger surfaces! Hoping to not spend too much though. Any tips or help would be much appreciated! Also turns out my boar boyz won me it, which makes a solid 3/4 wins. Pretty astounding really, feels great to feel the work appreciated and really does mean a lot. I think with the way the store is scoring it it means I am now the winner as I am unreachable on the points. Not that I am risking not taking in a display board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, the only thing I entered which were completely finished before the competition was the branchwych. Although Treelord Ancient and Durthu were almost done.

Ah fair enough, I guess the sheets to have the painting section so makes sense. Hey I'm happy you did I've enjoyed seeing your entries I had the banner bearer's body done last year, just not either arms or banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick in York Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not sure I can help much on display board. I've got 2 wyldwoods done but drying after a second sealing layer of PVA. I've been watching terrain tutor youtube vids. Still need to get my board and am thinking of saving time by covering it with ready flocked sheets/mats that they sell in the model railway shops. They I can put the wyldwoods and other trees on top. Won't be winning standard but my aim is for it all to be useful for using in games etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Yeah I think I need to go to Monkbar model shop and check mats maybe to see if I can speed things up. And I am a bit skint There isn't I don't think anything extra for winning the boards I believe from what they have said. Also has Scott chatted to you about the small narrative escalation league planned for end of May/June? It sounds fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to not spend too much though. Any tips or help would be much appreciated! I'd suggest a healthy dose of Terrain Tutor and other YouTubers. For ruined wooden buildings, lollipop sticks or balsa wood dowels and a craft knife are your friend (there are also pre-made ones available). In terms of mats, Javis make pre-flocked/textured ones - they're less than £10 for a 48"x24" one (example) - add some static grass tufts or flowers to taste (have a look at the Gamer's Grass and Tajima1 ones) and you're good to go. Oh, and painting large surfaces? Airbrush, if you can get your hands on one (I'm guessing you could probably get away with Vallejo Model Colour paints then, as they are pretty thick and dilute very well..?). 14 hours ago, Soulsmith said: Also turns out my boar boyz won me it, which makes a solid 3/4 wins.

mrstimpson38 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Oh man. It was awesome to catch up on this blog. That banner is top notch. Digging the detail on all the baubles. The savages turned out great as well. Really love that you showed how messy/free-form their warpaint application would really be. And the handprint on the behind... had me giggling for a bit. Grats on the Warchanter win as well. Well deserved.Sent from my Z958 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrstimpson38 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Very nice man. I must have skipped a page or two at the end of the blog. Well deserved, well deserved. More Destruction in the pipeline, or is that Chaos Hero a sign that you're going full-bore on a Chaos army? Mono-God/Faction, or Grand Alliance?Sent from my Z958 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking a break to paint up the magister for my next force which will be pure disciples of tzeentch. Just need a break from my greenskins colour scheme. Also working on a display board for said destruction. Though I will be painting more tzeentch during may for a campaign at the end so not sure how much ironjawz I'll get done!

Soulsmith Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hey there all! Next update: Legions of Legend has ended, and I am victorious! Already posted my display board before in the April thread, but here is a pic of it in store for the final day of the competition! It came second, very fairly to a great Sylvaneth one. Also included: Me with the store's Slayer Sword, now mine for the year. Also won a framed artwork, of which I chose Mannfred from the End Times, as it's more artsy and mostly monochrome and that fits my other artworks. So, whilst the ironjawz are still in the works, my next main thing is Disciples of Tzeentch! Starting a month from now is an escalation league, and I get paid at the end of April so I will be buying them then and furiously painting. Until then, I'll see if I can get a brute or two done Enjoy guys, gals, and greenskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulsmith Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Guess who! So, I have a deadline of the 11th of September, as I am heading to Nottingham with some mates and I know they prefer painted on their tables. So, I have to get the ironjawz done! Due to points changes, I am shelving the ardboyz, replacing them and the ironfist with gore gruntas and a grot shaman. So now I have to finish: 1 megaboss, 10 brutes, 3 gore gruntas, 1 shaman. All close to start/middle of painting. The brutes nearly have their armour done. No pictures as yet, but I can start batch painting everything together as I got modelling and priming done today. I wanted the megaboss to be a bit unique as there are so many (fantastic) megabosses out there. Totally not an original idea, I think I saw it first on here close to the forums beginning, but here we have my megaboss. Why have one skull when you can have two! So as you can see, it is the dragon skull from the gargant's club, cut and shaved down, with greenstuff straps. Honestly my first go at sculpting and I am happy with it, the indents in the middle look far deeper on here than in person, promise! When it is cured I will neaten the edges with my knife. Also, since I was in store and felt like hanging around since the regulars were in, I decided to test scheme some Nurgle stuff, as I may be getting the poxy half of blightwar, which with my end times 500 points army will make a decent enough force for aos. I originally did my mortals classic nurgle colours, using duncans tutorial on blightkings. But I am thinking of doing rust armour (using stippling), so the brighter colours I want offset with darker skin. So I wanted to test how grey worked, and I am rather pleased with it. Though I should in future finish the skin before washes, as the drybrush highlight ruined them and they need redoing. I will be trying pre-shading as well when I get round to doing my own, but here are some photos: Headed home before finishing, so bone and cloth have only a basecoat, and leather belt is unpainted. But I was really just doing skin and metal anyway. I am pleased with it, very fast to do, so a horde of plaguebearers wouldn't be a problem! Would want to try mixing some red in the grey for things like under bellies, give the skin some depth. Enjoy folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Great work man! Shame to miss you at WHW! will have to try and get to the same event some time in the future. Megaboss looks great - that extra skull gives him a bulkier profile which I'm a big fan of ? Awesome nurgle guy too! Hoping to get the hunters from the set myself.
