Mlkr's plog and misc.

[mlkr]

Hi everyone!

Finally having something to contribute with I have decided to start this topic
Here I will post things related to the SG's and maybe some other hobbyrelated stuff too.

First off I want to show off my little hobby"room" wich is actually a storage I am renting extra for the apartment that I am living in. It's situated in the basement so its close enough if my GF or kid needs me but still perfect for undisturbed hobbysessions. This is the place I go to when I need to unwind a bit ^_^

Nice- being in the basement means you have a true man cave 

[mlkr]

Indeed! ^_^

I have been filling it up with second hand stuff I find for cheap Table, Lamps, Chair, Stereo and so on. Getting it all ready has been a fun little project in itself ^_^

Nice Den! Ready to paint!

Next - an actual finished paintingproject. (Some might have seen it already on FB)

I finally found time to start painting my Warmaster OnG's and first up was 9 units of orcs.
Having used Army Painter before on 28mm I was inspired to use it again after reading this topic:
http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=4426.0

I did some extra steps like drybrushing after basecoating and used a lot more different colours for a ragtag feel. Other than that it's basically the same procedure. The results you can get this way is freakin awesome!

Anyways - basing is done using fine wallplaster + pebbles painted gray and then inked. Add flock and tuft and the waaaaaagh is good to go!

See pictures for results

Currently on the table - Trolls for Warmaster.

White basecoat and black ink + drybrush a very light blue. Then wash with watered down darker blue.
White basecoat and brown ink + wash with watered down green.

Next step will be to pick out details and see how it all feels

Ahh! These are beautiful, thanks for sharing. =)

These are great- I'm very jealous with the speed and quality. I plan to try painting more like this for future armies.

Those orks rock!

Trolls are very fun to paint. You are getting a great orc n goblin feeling with this scheme of colours.

It is a pretty fast way of painting  Especially when you put them on a production line doing each colour one at a time. It will also be very boring, but worth it in the long run. I started painting the orcs in middle of November and could not paint that often because of studies, work and christmas and such.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Nice orcs and nice trolls too. I'd like to try your "painting troll method" on some coppelstone's trolls.

If you do I think you can skip the drybrushing step without problems. And I think my homemade wash did not settle as good in the recesses as a bought one would. Still unsure if I am going to use the Army Painter dip for this as last step or use different washes on the details instead...

Decided to show off a project thats been put on hold since a good while.
Might get it up and running in the future - just need to find the inspiration again.

I am building myself a foldable BB-pitch. Since I have a Necromantic team I decided that some kind of graveyardish feel was appropriate. But as stated - not done much with it in a good while and having too much fun with painting Warmaster atm

[Stormwind]

I love projects like that!

[Geep]

Excellent stuff! A foldable BB pitch has been on my project dream list for many years, I hope you see yours through to completion.
