September Painting Update

There have been no 'big' projects for me since rush painting my award winning Slaanesh army back in April, but I have been cranking away at lots of smaller projects. I've been getting back into competitive AoS and started to use my Soulblight army again. The composition is much unchanged, but I wanted to use Cado in the list as the model is a bit cool, plus he has some unique rules! Looking at the army as a whole, I feel I can do better painting now. They may be moved onto eBay soon! This is Farto, an orcling scout! Picked up on my road trip to Nottingham he's a tiny (10p coin, less spear) greeenskin with a cute smile and angry ride. These are a small part of a basic Horus Heresy Thousand Sons army for a customer. Unfortunately I couldn't get the red to show up well in the photography. The Tamiya clear red gives a stunning pearlescence to the minis so I'm disappointed to say the least. Finally we have an ex-Citadel wizard from Wargames Foundry. I remember se

Rank and Flank, First Impressions

I've been wanting to do something more 'traditional' with my fantasy wargaming, as in Tolkien-esque not square basing (although it seems the two go hand in hand for the most part). I've now completed 15 Age of Sigmar armies, and there's nothing I've started to hate, but I need to refresh my palette. So I've gathered a few interesting rulesets over the last year of social distancing, and I'm going to publish a series of articles about my thoughts on each. This article is about first impressions, but more accurately for you, my biases! Age of Sigmar As my 'go to' game for the last four years, its important to establish this as my base line. It is well supported, with constant releases of the best miniatures in the market and rules updates. Most importantly to me, I can get a game of it almost anywhere due to a huge player base. Those market leading minis are now a unique scale, most human sized creatures would be small monsters compared to othe

Trogg Glow Up

Commission painting has taken up most of my time since Christmas, but I've been able to get some of my own work done in the last week! After selling my squigalanche with the release of the new Gloomspite battletome, I dug through my pile of shame and found most of a new Trogg army! I wanted to paint something a bit more atmospheric that my previous work. I wanted this army to feel like a band of adventurers just stumbled into a gloomy, phosphorescent mushroom lit cavern, and interrupted a troggboss and his mates. I made the decision to not go full OSL. Although OSL looks incredible with display minis, gaming pieces do not have the static composition that makes this work. Instead I painted these minis normally, with emphasis on saturated (lighted) areas from a zenith. The green glow was added afterward with a variety of greens, angled to come from the light source. I think the effect works well, as the minis look well painted from the eye looking down, and enough glow effect to cou
