Shadespire: The chosen axes

Did the dwarves quite fast. I just wanted to get them to the table, and I have too many projects atm so wanted to get them over with. I like the models though and quite pleased with the overall look even with the simple paintjob.

Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire

Been painting my warbands for Shadespire lately. Right now I have 3/4 done, so here they are in the order that I painted them.


Garrek's reavers:

Sigmarines: 
 

Sepulchral quards:

Had fun painting these. Normally I hate painting units but since each model is different it wasn't that bad. Check out the game Shadespire, it has been a lot of fun! Fast and tactical, great game to play against your friends and it has awesome miniatures. :)

Dreadfleet

Phewh.. finally some progress on the Dreadfleet.

Got this game at launch. I have yet to play a single game, but I just had to have it because of the miniatures. I'm not going to play this with unpainted miniatures, so might take a while to eventually get that first game up. :)

Anyway first ship ready, the Heldenhammer:

I also allready started painting the Bloody Reaver. My objective is to paint the ships in the same order they appear in the campaign.
I try not to get too carried away with the details but still get some nice results.


What do you think of the game/miniatures in general? From what I've read it's a fun game if you don't take it too seriously. And the miniatures are awesome. :)

Working area

Hi everyone and happy easter! I decided to show you my working area where I do my modelling.

I have actually crammed a lot of stuff into the old painting table from GW. For it's size it holds a lot of stuff, so It's usually looking horribly messy.
I hold the table in my "computer-room" next to my pc as you can see. That's why I have crammed everything on to the table, so I can lift the whole thing and hide it into my closet when I don't need it.

Also includes a sneak peek of my work in progress BE:

I have some more paints, brushes, foliage etc in different containers. On the table I hold mostly only the stuff that I use regularly. As you can see I still have a lot of the old paints from GW, but I am slowly shifting into Vallejoes and PP:s stuff.

Believe it or not I also do my airbrushing here in the same place and it works like a charm. :)

My assistant that likes to watch me paint:

Cat's name is Nikolai, as it's of a breed called: Russian blue. (Just between you and me, It's not a very good assistant.. it pokes every small bit on the table, and it keeps trying to drink my brushwater from the cup).

So what do you think of the workplace? Do you have a dedicated working area, or do you resort to a similar setup of mine that you can hide away as necessary?

Thanks for looking and again: Happy easter everyone! :)

How to magnetize Baal Predator

Fairly long time ago I bought a small force of blood angels and I also picked up a Predator. I just couldn't make up my mind on which weapons to mount it with, so I magnetized the whole thing.

Long story short: a picture is worth a thousand words, so heres two:

Baal Predator Assembled:

And here's the same tank in parts:

As you can see I assembled the hull entirely and added rare earth magnets into each of the parts. For both sides of the tank I needed to put a small amount of greenstuff to raise the magnet, so it would attach securely to the side sponsons.
Other than that it was fairly straightforward, just drill some holes and slot the magnets in as usual. Just make sure you get the positive/negatives right.
Took me a while to do, but in the end I think it was worth it as this allowed me to change the armament on the fly.

Now I am aware that this is not the most informative "how to" tutorials, but I didn't take any step by step pictures as I made this.  Maybe it's still usefull for someone who wants to magnetize their tanks.
And ofcourse feel free to ask if you have some questions.

ps: I actually didn't ever paint this thing. As I got into Warmachine/Hordes I ended up trading it away to someone who has more use for it than I do. :)

Space Hulk 3rd edition

Huzzah!

Recently I went through some old pictures of mine and I stumbled on to some pics that I took from the Games Workshops glorious reincarnation: Space Hulk the 3rd edition. I have some models painted, although theres still a lot more work to be done.
In case you don't know this was a limited edition boardgame that Games Workshop published quite some time ago. Production value and the figures are amazinginly detailed, and it's a very fun game too.
I whole heartedly recommend you grab a copy if you have a chance.

Anyway, few pictures just for fun:

Sergeant Lorenzo and his blood angels terminators:

Backup!

Check your six!
