Warpmiss' Hobby Blog - Chaos stuff

[Warpmiss]

I realized that I invest more time building/painting stuff when I share what I am working on so I decided to start this topic as a blog of sorts. It can also be very helpful for me to read people's comments on my stuff since I only started painting on September 2017.

 

It occurred to me to just create this topic in the CSM forum but since I'm thinking about getting some non-Chaos models I think it will fit better here. I also have several count-as non-GW models which I hope is ok to post in B&C but, just in case, I'll try to post pictures of them along with official GW ones.

 

So, let's get started!

 

On Sunday, February 4th, I got to try how it feels to paint models primed using Corax White (until now I had only tried Abbadon Black and Leadbelcher):

 

 

I love the poxwalker models and they are my favorite ones to test new stuff in. I went on a shopping spree on Friday and this was my first time using washes that weren't Agrax Earthshade:

 

 

But for most of the day, the drone was the one that had my attention. I had left it half painted for a couple of months and now it went from this:

 

 

To this:

 

 

 

I started to work on that winged Daemon Prince of Nurgle in the background but no pics yet as I'm still testing things on him (mainly sick flesh).

That Plague Drone looks awesome now. The fleshy bits are particularly nice. I'm also a fan of painting with washes over a white base coat, it's quick but gets good results.

[hushrong]

Drone looks great! The detail on the fleshy bits looks very in line for warp-tainted machines.

 

Also, did you sculpt the thing with the seashell on its back?

[Warpmiss]

I have no idea how many layers of things I tried on that drone's flesh and I'm still not sure if I'm happy with the result. I will probably leave it like that or else I may end up ruining it!

 

Also, did you sculpt the thing with the seashell on its back?

I wish! It's a Snail Monster from Scibor.

 

Also, when I'm feeling more confident painting sick-looking flesh, I will get to work on my count-as GUO, also from Scibor: http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=682 It could also work as a DP of Slaanesh, I think. Got this bad boy before the new GUO was announced because I loved the model. What's more, the GUO, as cool as it is, is way more expensive than what I'm willing to pay for a single model at the moment.

Drone looks cool and looking forward to seeing some work on the GUO

For someone who's only been painting for a few months these are pretty damn good! :) Gross nurgle skin is pretty easy once you get the hang of it and figure out a good recipe. Keep it up!

[Warpmiss]

Thanks, brettfp!

 

And now, for something completely different...

 

I'm not having time for anything this week but here is a little something I managed to start working on yesterday:

40k ear rings?? Thats cool! :lol:

 

Am I right in thinking this is Daemon Prince related?? Or are you actually doing chainsword jewellery?

[Warpmiss]

A pair of earrings for myself, actually!

 

I love being able to wear shirts/necklaces from my different 'fandoms' but I haven't had much luck getting 40k jewellery so I decided to make my own with a couple of spare chainswords I had. :P

The other earring needs to be a bolter

Thats actually a really cool idea, cheap to replace if you loose one as well.

The Nurgling in your picture would make a good bit of jewellery as well.

 

What kit does the chainsword come from? Mk3 Armour? Just what I need to finish off my  Blood Claws.

I showed this to my wife cos shes been making earrings recently and now she wants to raid my bitz box :) Edited February 8, 2018 by brettfp

Firstly, you are doing an absolutely great job of painting for someone who hasn't been painting for long, the drone is looking great.

 

Secondly, why have I never through to doing bits-box earrings before? Simply genius, time to raid my spares!

[Warpmiss]

Thanks everyone! I would have liked to finish the earrings for this weekend but at this rate is going to be impossible!

 

Do show me if you start producing your own 40k jewellery!

 

The other earring needs to be a bolter

OMG, I had forgotten about the spare bolters! I can probably salvage 2 of them for another couple of earrings!

Nurglings as jewellery?? :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

Yep, it's from the MK3 guys!

Mr Sassypants would have to be cast from the finest platinum or gold though. No other metals are worthy...

 

Unless you wanted to cast him from a toxic substance... Might be more befitting Nurgle that way.
