A Trip Down Memory Lane

So as I mentioned in my last post, this next one is to feature some of the work that I have done in the past that I am particularly proud of... This also adds a little colour to the blog otherwise its just inevitably going to be a sea of grey.

so without further ado, I present to you a Bad Moons Ork Lifta Wagon:

I remember this taking an age to paint as the model is so large. I looked around on google for a while for inspiration and saw numerous examples of this painted up in Deathskull colours, and felt like doing something a little more out the box.

While a lovely kit and being very happy with the finished result I remember that two things, one it was a massive pain to put together as the lifta-kannon was so heavy, and two it took ages to paint. I was particularly happy at how the yellow came out, with a quick wash of Nuln Oil/Badab Black Wash it gave it a nice grimey look.

 I had intended at the time for this to be a start to a Battlewagon Brigade from the small bit of fluff in the codex about the Mighty Mangler of Bork, but alas like so many other ideas, I got side tracked...

...By these guys, of course First Claw were going to feature in this post! One of the things that I most enjoy about the whole warhammer universe is the background, especially the books from Black Library. If you are reading this and haven't read Aaron Dembski-Bowden's Night Lords Trilogy, then shame on you!

This squad cost me a pretty penny as I tried to make my representations of them as accurate as possible. I ordered numerous parts from the internet, to make sure that they looked worthy of the characters I was attempting to bring to life.

Many an hour was spent painting these guys and part of me is itching to re-do them, but the more sensible side shudders at the thought of the time and the cost it would take to improve on this basis.

That's it for now, when I get the time I'll make a second part to this, but I may have to take some photos first :D

Caio

Here we go again!

So here we are again, this is actually my third incarnation of a blog, the first was overrun by wannabe Chinese poets the second I managed to lock myself out 😂

But hey third times the charm right? 

Anyone who has read my previous blog entries will know I'm shit at updating this thing, but I promise I'll try harder... I'll post a proper snapshot of previous work that I'm especially proud of in a few days or something but if you are interested in the meantime, here is a link to the last blog: http://waaaaaaagh.blogspot.co.uk/

 So out with the old and in with the new right? Well actually this is actually a return to the old, in both timeline sense and an army that I have much admiration for and have already collected a few times...

You can blame Forge World for this... The Night Lords Return...

A small something to wet your appetite, until next time...
