Deathbloom - Shael Han - Wrath of Kings

Here is one of the last minis I have painted to finish for 2013.
I got this mini after participating for a demo at the CMON booth at Gen Con.
The resin mini challenged me to do something a little out of my comfort zone and as you can see this is the first time for me to try the NMM technique.

I hope you like. Please leave any critiques or questions in the comments below.

Journeymen update

Welcome back to my adventures in Journeymen. The holidays this time of year have thrown off the traditional 6 week league. With that my play has been rather sparse. I played a 25pt against CoC and learned that I can Trample with my heavy 'Jacks through infantry and totally failed to kill his caster with it. So since I heard painted minis roll better I decided to get to grindstone and push out some nice paint jobs.

Here is the 35pt list I took against a Trolls player.    

 And this I finished this weekend and completed my Butcher battle group.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there. This holiday weekend will see more paint to miniatures.

Black and chrome

I've been steadily working on painting my Khador collection. Here is the first 'Jack off the line. I want all my 'Jacks to have a hotrod look to them so this Berserker is clean with a little touch of pinstripe. 

Man-o-War

Here is the first of 5 MoW that I'm painting for this Journeymen League. All of them are painted in the red and I did the metalics on the leader first so I can have a map for the rest. I've found before that when I chain paint I tend to miss a spot so I'm going to take each one at a time.

Not bad for a afternoon of painting.
For the red I used Les' paint recipe which can be found here.

Gencon photos and Facebook page

I noticed on my computer that all the photos I had taken while at Gencon never got shared with you all. Sorry for this, these past few months have been busy for me. You can find all the photos on the new Facebook page here. Also be sure to like the page as I'll post more of my work in progress photos on there while using this site as the main site for finished projects.

Journeymen weekend painting

Just wanted to show off the painting I did over the weekend. As you can see I'm going for a little higher tabletop quality. Basing for everything will be muddy trenches that i want to tie in with a display board but that's a project for the future. 

 Butcher is still a work in progress but he is looking pretty mean.
