An surprise in store, for those who have been before...

Hello,

Now this post has an unexpected visitor, one that I am grateful for but it was totally unexpected. I managed to finish off another Battlesuit, this time I painted him up like a Shas'vre, the other just a normal Shas'ui. I really like the green that I used for the Sept colours, I also liked doing the free-hand flame on the flamer, I might do the same on the plasma but have it with plasma colours like blue
and green or purple and pink. Anyway here they are:

I wrote "Shas'vre" in Tau on the rim of the base to separate him out from the other Battlesuits. Thought it looked cool. Next on the agenda will most definitely be pathfinders as I have still to undercoat the other Battlesuits. There will be no posts on Tuesday or Thursday this week as I will be golfing pretty much all day. Will try and post something on Wednesday, bye for now.

Nick Lund - Barbarian with Axe and Shield

Hello,

I thought now would be a good time to have a wee break from Tau and focus on some of my miniatures. I painted this guy yesterday and practised a lot of blending right down to the tooth on his necklace. I also had another chance to try NMM. Some areas came out better than others but that is what learning is all about, making mistakes then capitalising on them by knowing what to do the next time. He was in terrible condition when I was given him but with a wee bit of love goes a long way. I didn't do his base but will maybe do it later. Really nice sculpt and here he is:

Surprisingly it didn't take me that long to paint him. It would be great if you could give me any tips on how to do NMM or give me a link to a good guide on how to do it. Keep your eyes peeled for the first Battlesuit, I'll post him tomorrow, bye for now.

Firewarriors - Group 1 (Post 3 of 3)

Hello again,

I have now finished off the first Firewarrior Squad. I really enjoyed painting these guys, but I now have Pathfinders and Crisis Battlesuits to look forward to. Here are the photos of the last guys and then a group shot:

I had a busy day today, I went to a Wargame Convention in Edinburgh bought a lot of paint and some cool models that will appear sometime in the near (far) future. It was sunny there but here is what I came home to:

And here is a video so you can see it for yourself:

Bye for now.

Firewarriors - Group 1 (Post 2 of 3)

Hello again,

Here is another 4 Firewarriors from the blue Squadron. I felt that the stages were a lot easier and faster this time round. Who knows what will happen when I get onto the battlesuits, we'll see. Anyway onto the pics:

Just a small post today as I am leaving very soon to go to an evening of wargamming. Playing 'I ain't been shot mum' rule system. Soviets (me) Vs Germans. Bye for now and wish me luck.
