Skaven Warlock Engineer and Reaper Bones Kickstarter

It's been a while since my last post, but I haven't had a whole lot of time to paint.  But in the last week or so I was able to get out the brushes and finish off a Skaven Warlock Engineer that had been sitting around half finished for about 8 months.  I really like how it turned out, and I am stoked to get back in the painting groove in the rare free time that I have had lately.  Up next to paint is an Orc General from GW plastic kit.  He's about half done and should hopefully be finished the next time I paint.  After that I might seriously dig into the Skaven units and see what I can finish.

I also got in on the Reaper Bones Kickstarter.  I am really excited about it, nearly 250 models to use for Mordheim and other gaming needs at less than 50 cents a piece.  That is just a ridiculous deal, and with their durability and paint holding qualities I don't feel terrified about letting my daughter play with them.  I am looking at the optional buys right now to see what I want to choose, as I have around $50 to spend.  I'm thinking I will get the Kaladrax Reborn and C'thulu models to paint and display, and then spend the remaining $30 on either paints, fishmen, hydras, or various monsters and duplicates from the base 250 models.  No matter how it gets spent there are many happy days ahead of painting those models!

Whips, snails, and Warlocks

Finished a few more models the last few days, including another warlock, an elven ranger with a crossbow and a whip, and a Somberwald fighting snail!

All three new models, the picture is blurry but the camera battery died before I could take a better shot.

The levitating warlock.

Stunties

I've been able to finish the majority of my Dwarf Treasure Hunter warband.  I still need to paint a few clansman and a hero, but by and large I have a playable force now to add to my collection of warbands.  Here are a couple of pictures.

The whole warband, including Gulbrindar the Drunken, who had the misfortune of being pranked and hogtied.

The heroes - the captain and engineer are the two on the right.

Finished Powder Monkey and Lich

I've continued to make good progress with my painting, finishing a couple of models for Mordheim use. First is a Powder Monkey for use in a future pirate warband or as a trained fighting monkey from the equipment profile. Second is a Lich for use as a Warlock or Necromancer, or as a Lich for a Bordertown Burning warband.

Marienburgers and Warhound

I've been lax on my painting lately, so I am trying to kick start my brush motivation by forcing myself to finish some models that have been languishing in my to do box for quite some time. So first up are a couple of Marienburgers and a mastiff hound. Nothing amazing, but it's a start.  Up next is a powder monkey and a necromancer, hopefully those will be done this weekend.
