Cerebral thrombosis

I'm not sure how to put this, but two weeks ago I had a stroke. I believe the tecnical term for it is a 'cerebral thrombosis'. It came, as you might think, as a total chok that I, in my relatively young age should experience that kind of things. I was in hospital for some days, but things are looking much better now already. The main consequence was severe problems coordinating the eyes and moving around. I still have some problems focusing. My eyes do get better every day though, and hopes are, that they will be as good as new within a month og two... That would be really nice, thank you!
For a couple of days I had no idea whether I would be able to paint a miniature ever again, but things are looking much brighter now, and I have already been testing a little on the 2.ed blood bowl elves I have on my work desk at the moment :)

So, no pictures for you this time - but soon I hope to bring you some news

More elves for blood bowl...

I am really pleased with these Jes Goodwin elves... Although they have some less defined areas here and there, I think they come out pretty good looking :)

Here you have two more catchers (agile and slippery as hell) and another blitzer. The colourscheme is the same - the entire team is meant to be like this - no black-, red- or bluehaired elves on this team. Coherent is the codeword here.

Blood bowl elves

Blood bowl elves. When I got the team from the customer, they were all undercoated with white spray making the minis all granulated :( a pestilence to paint... Almost painted a handful before I realized that it would never work. I have stripped most of them (16 players in total) and started all over again... sigh.

Anyway... My new tactic is to paint one at a time, take the time it takes and enjoy these classic miniatures :)

The sculpts aren't as sharp as minis today, but they have lots of character - I have a good feeling about this team!

Castle Ravenloft

I have been speedpainting (thank you Devlan Mud) and here's the miniatures for the boardgame Castle Ravenloft. I'm looking forward to actually play the game :) The gaming is set for next weekend...

You will hear more about this, when the five bold adventurers have seen action...

Nostalgia trip

Inspired by the nostalgia of guys like Dave King I recently bought these two golden oldies at ebay :)

I cannot say, when I will have the time to paint them - but I think it's a great project painting these minis of yesterday with todays standard. I remember these minis from my youth - I didn't actually own any of them back then, but still, to me they reek nostalgia.

Blood bowl at Giant Fanatic 13

Still alive - new job has taken a lot of my time - and so has painting lots of plastic pieces for various boardgames - nothing fancy... might put up some pictures later on though... if you insist :)

Yesterday i got back from this years Giant Fanatic (GF13). I took part in the blood bowl tournament with my old skaven team - Fc Tusindmus - and I had a great time.


Even though I got beat up in my first match (against norse... see picture) It went pretty well, and in the end I ended uo fourth (out of 16 players or so), and my team even got voted best painted... (most blood bowlers doesn't really care about painting, so the competition wasn't that hard I guess - still, it's always nice to be appreciated)



I really got an urge to paint some more blood bowl teams... and there is an elf team coming up in the future (commissionwork) and maybe a norse team of my own... (bought the models at least)... or maybe a chaospact team... hmm can't really make up my mind :)

Summers is over...

Summer is over and I have only painted a few minis during my holliday :(

The boarboyz above are the first 5 minis for my 8.ed warhammer fantasy army... Yer right - none of us will probably ever see the day... but anyway, it felt good to paint a unit, dreaming about it roaring along the flank of the helpless enemy

I have also painted a couple of skavens - one for the blue blood bowl team, and one Lord Skrolk - both of them are commisionjobs




I really hope to paint some more bb-players for that mixed races team - until now there are two skavens and a black orc... Think a whole team would look great :)

Oh... and a warm welcome to my 9-th guest jedscott1 - hope you will enjoy your stay
