So... it's time for an update. I have moved house, my wife is pregnant, lots of work...

But I'm still painting :) Here's some of the things I have done lately:

Orcs. For roleplaying - hence the round bases. I'm quite fond of the skincolour. Nothing fancy, but it works. The models are older gw orcs I had in my basement, still in blisters. The house moving has made me look through my leadpile.. ohh there are some shiny things there.

Another grab in the pile - some bretonian men at arms from gw and an orc captain I think, from reaper. Also meant for roleplaying And finaly I have this old gem for you - I have painted this genestealer for a friend of mine. I hope he likes it.

It found it extremely hard to get a good photo of this guy, too many arms I guess :)

And there are some trolls too... and some old 40k squats...  And maybe I'll even start painting some of the amazing McVey stuff I have bought lately...

BB-Mermaid

Ok then... I'm still here and still painting... But real life has been up over my head :(

I have something special for you though. It's the give away miniature for the upcoming Eurobowl 2012 tournament of blood bowl. It's taking place in october this year. The miniature is sculpted by Bob Olley, and being a tournament on danish ground it had to be a mermaid (the little mermaid you know...)

Anyway, here it is...and I like it!



What do you think? - Could she be your favourite receiver?

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everybody!

I have no new pictures for you - all my time has been spent on finding a new house. And I actually think we have found it - all that remains is all the boring banking buisness. I'm still pretty scared about moving out of town, but I guess they do have internet out there :)... and it's only 10 minuttes in train, so maybe it's not that dangerous. And there will be much more room for my mountain of lead in the new house :)

But now it's christmas and I hope you will all get bigger mountains of lead. And maybe even spend some of the holidays painting a mini or two!

See you soon - I hope to get back to painting early in the new year! There are so many minis I would love to paint - and even more I would love to buy.

Monsters starter set - Complete

The monsters starter set is done.



Here goes:



The ogre was the last piece to complete the gang. I think he came out fine. The broken weapon isn't noticed, I hope... Cut off a few milimeters and pinned it to the hand.

It has been very fun to paint these golden oldies to match the original artwork - the hobgoblin and the orc are still my favourites, but the ogre has its charm :)

The wolf...not my cup of tea... And even though I felt I did an ok paintjob on the dark elf.. he's not great either... The chaos warrior as a very retro feel about him...I quite like the very golden scheme...

I hope you like them - there might come more old school minis in the future...

Kobolds

A quick paintjob for the next roleplay session. Nothing fancy, just to let you know that I am painting :)

5 kobolds from Otherworld miniatures. They are very small - around 17 mm to the eyes. They're on 20mm bases. Fun little minis.



It feels good actually painting some of the Otherworld minis from the lead pile... I'm tempted to place a new order at Otherworld... the woucher system they have over there is very sneaky...makes me wanna buy tons of minis...

As for the monsters starter set, the last one, the ogre, is on his way. The weapon has been fixed and the plan is to have him done next friday. I'm looking forward to finish the set :)

More monsters

I have been working on the Monsters starter set from 1985. The orc and the hobgoblin were definitely the best of the bunch. Here they are together with the goblin, the lesser goblin, the wolf and the chaoswarrior. They are relatively quick paintjobs - nothing fancy there - but still they are lots of fun.





There's the darkelf and the ogre with the broken weapon left... Can't say when they'll be done - But I'm still in the mood for roleplaying miniatures... might paint some of the Otherworld minis I bought some 2 years ago...

Monsters

Tadaa... I have actually used my painted pathfinder goblins in play...real d&d roleplay! And now I want to paint more miniatures for roleplaying :)

And it so happend that I had this one in the pile of lead:



The ogre had a broken weapon, so he wont be painted this time. But the others got new bases to match my adventurers and the orc and the hobgoblin has already seen some paint:



They are great models - the best two in the set, I think.
I can't wait to meet them in a dark alley...Then they will taste the sword of my young and rightous paladin... hehe.

Hopefully the other bad guys will join those two soon...
