Finished: Nurgle Chaos Lord

Painted this model for a friends Warriors of Chaos force. I tried a some new techniques on this one, namely glazes. The skin was painted with a mix of Dheneb Stone, Bleached Bone, Cayman Green, and black. The skin was then glazed over with a light olive green tone, followed by blotches of purple glaze to make the skin look bruised and corrupted.
The boils/poxes were disgusting fun to paint: they were base in Vallejo Game Color Desert Yellow, highlight with 1/2-1/2 Desert Yellow and Bleached bone, hit with a wash of Baal Red, and given a final highlight of Bleached Bone.

Enjoy!

Backdrops for you miniature photographs

Just thought I would share these excellent cloudy backdrops from Corvus' Miniatures, one of my favorite hobby blogs out there! I plan on using these when I get around to taking photographs of the Lore of Fire Battle Wizard when he is finished (hopefully this weekend). I'm also working on a beautiful old Rackham Kelt druid, so I should have another excuse to break out the backgrounds.






Cheers!

Monthly Special for July! Now with the Revised Dust Pricing List

I'm now offering 20% off all Dust Tactics/Warfare commissions placed this July!

Effectively, this means that an Axis Ludwig walker, painted like the one below, will run you $20.



A unit of infantry, no matter the armor rating, will cost you $15. Each model in the unit will be painted up to the quality of the Allied BBQ Boy below.


And here is a shot of a unit of Axis Zombies, just to give you an idea of what a unit of Infantry paint by me would look like!



If you are interested in taking advantage of this discount, send an email to heroscaper12@yahoo.com, and I will see what I can do for you!

Thanks,

On the Table for July

Here is a quick rundown of what is currently on my painting table.

Warhammer Fantasy Battle Wizard- Lore of Fire. He's still work in progress (WiP): the skin, the eyes, the metallic bits+the flame on the staff, and the little details on the corner of the cloak all need finished.
Skaven Warlord: I bought this model ages ago, and I am just now starting it. I'm pretty happy with it so far, and the checkered back-banner seems to be working out.

Savage orcs: I have about 20 of these guys lurking in my army box. They are all nearly completed, I just need to get the courage up to finish them off. I plan on getting 15 more to round off a planned unit of 35, which I will run as Big 'uns. They will make a wicked unit: 3 attacks at str. 4, ws. 4 each=killy.
Here's a shot of one of them!
And here are 5 Boyz from my unit of 40 I typically run. I have about 20 of them fully painted, and the rest have been primed.
And here are some shots of a Malifaux Showgirls crew commission I'm working on. I have to say, this commission has been quite the learning experience. The models are all so petite that they are real challenge to paint tidily.

In addition to all of the pictures on here, I also have a bunch of other things I am trying to finish before the month is out, including some Trollbloods for Hordes, and a lot of Dust Warfare models.

However, these are all my own projects, so I still have a big 'ole slot open for any commissions you would care to throw at me! If you do, send me an email to heroscaper12@yahoo.com and I will see what I can do for you.

Thanks for looking!
