My comic blog - Mongolian Kung Fu action!

feeds@yuku.com (mattbird) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:06:34 GMT

I've gotten the itch to start drawing again, after a 20 year hiatus. So inspired by both the Ancients rules we are playing, and the movie Mongol, I've deciced to have a go at doing a comic book from start to finish. I have an idea for how the story plays out over 10 issues, maybe could go forever if I wanted to, but I want to at least do 1 full issue of pages.

This project is not for anything in particular, I'm just in the mood to draw, and I like comics.

Cityfight Terrain

Hey City Terrain Crew:

Especially Owen; when we painted all those ruins, it was just built up layers of drybrush, wasn't it?

Sponge Painting

feeds@yuku.com (deFL0) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:29:47 GMT

Wet brushing or the like. Has anybody tried?

I'm currently doing water bases for my Eldar jetbikes and I used a VAllejo water feature to create water. texture looks great but it's fairly dark and I think a little highlight could go along way. Short of doing 70 bases with a brush, can you dguys think of an creative ideas to tip all the waves with a blue and then white?

I was thinking maybe a really fine sponge or some thing like putting paint thinly on a saran wrap...

Need help with NMM

feeds@yuku.com (Punk20) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:31:38 GMT

Ive read articles...read step by step stuff...they all just haven't helped me with my NMM silver.

I had much success with gold, but silver is a bitch to do...I understand the lighting and everything well, but when I paint it continues to look like stone rather than metal...

Please help

Liked painting these guys: used charadon granite as a base and then lined with adeptus battlegrey.

Found them quite fun to paint. The level of detail is very impressive, and all the bits on the full scale craft are there in the mini. The ships are bigger than I had imagined, and did a scale shot here. Lots of modelling opportunities for making up some ground terrain to bomb/protect, and when I feel inspired I'm going to put some of these together.

IG Blog: Ogryns

feeds@yuku.com (the black prince) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:50:08 GMT

What else does a blitzkrieg genadier mech army need than a tank full of ogryns: since I saw these figures last year, I knew I needed some of them and have managed to squeeze a unit of 4 into my prospective GT list this year.

First base: bases..... wanted to use something that gave a nice impressive look, and the army is going to be based on a green slime/concrete slab world. A couple of smashed aquillas make up a couple of these bases.

A selection of IG units (using GW washes)

feeds@yuku.com (the black prince) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:38:59 GMT

Bell of Lost Souls had a create your own IG unit competition recently, and I missed that completely, but thought I'd play around with some figures, and came out with these: used the new washes on the barrels of the guns and also on the metal of the cadians. Really impressed with these: they dry quickly, come out at a fairly 'normal' strength, meaning they dont need watering down to use fresh, and also they dry matt and very evenly, which I was very impressed with.

Anybody tried the GW washes yet? Is there any difference between theme and the inks?

Imperial Navy: Lightning

Ever since I read a bat rep in White Dwarf, featuring George Dellapina's orc fighter-bomber, I've been hooked on air power in the 40K universe. With one thunderbolt under my belt, it was time for a lightning.

Lightning's come in two varients, strike and and fighter, and these bits are all supplies by Forge world (the strike variant replaces the...

Daemons of Chaos: Slave to the Lost and the Damned collecting blog

feeds@yuku.com (mattbird) — Fri, 30 May 2008 09:12:04 GMT

As many of you know by now, I have a bit of an addiction to collecting old stuff. So the upcoming Warmonger 10th anniversary club project** has provided me with an opportunity to collect yet another old OOP warhammer miniature line: Daemons of Chaos! I have a while before the army needs finishing, but hope to get it in shape to play with at least in the short term. The list I want to collect to comes to something like this:

Khorne herald on juggernaught (general)
Nurgle herald...

Army of The Old Ones - Slann collecting type-blog

feeds@yuku.com (mattbird) — Wed, 28 May 2008 12:56:18 GMT

If you have ever taken an interest in the older editions of WFB, you have likely come across images of the original Slann armies from 2nd-3rd edition. While they do bear some resemblance to the current Lizardmen models, they are weirdly sculpted, utterly unique, and very hard to come by. So of course I have to try to collect an army of them! I plan to post up new acquisitions as they come in, which should be fairly quickly and regularly, as I intend to be very agressive in obtaining them. I...
