Zero's workshop

here are some skavens I'm working on:

a simple conversion I'll use as leader:



test subject to try quickshade army painter:

Hey Zero! The pieces look GREAT...VERY NICE W.I.P.

I'm moving the thread to the Painting & Modeling Section. The Gallery is reserved for completed pieces. Once your treasures are all painted up, we can move the thread back to the Gallery.

oh, sorry for bad posting, thanks for moving. renamed thread accordingly

Here are some simple conversions for my Possessed warband.

Brethrens with bow:



Mutant with bow and cloven hoofs:



Beastman with sword:

No problem at all about the move...it's my thing, Man.
The new stuff is COOL! I really like the Brethren on the right with the dagger & the Beasty Guy with the bow...the Lads/Thingies have a lot of potential.

thanks for the kind words

here's the result of my first test with dipping (well, not really. I applied the quickshade with a brush).
it's stil a bit too shiny (I've already applied a quick pass of matte spray) but I'm overall satisfied with it.




and now, a brief history of Citadel's rat-ogre models (and my painting skills and styles)

a couple of miniatures for Possessed warband, almost finished.



the bases are obviously to be done, and I think I'll touch up the beastman here and there, prior to consider it finished, but the overall look will be the one you can already see.

Your paint job makes that old crappy halberd look pretty good! Good work!

Who makes the hound?

thanks
the hound is a "frothweiler" from horrorclix. if you want one, I'd suggest to go for the "veteran" one that, being in clear plastic, comes unpainted.

due to lack of time I'm not proceeding very much with my warbands, but today I've taken some time for miself to assemble a couple of hired swords:



on the left, is a wip of Cursed Hillman, for my Possessed warband. still lacks a fur coat.
I've assembled it, so manipulated it for some time, but I notice now in the pic for the first time the studs on the axe handle...
I think I'll remove them, i.m.o they look too much "chaos army" for the character...

on the right the Clan Skryre Ratogre, obvuoisly for the Skaven warband.
I've recently found the rules, and despite the randomness it looks quite fun... (or maybe just for it )

I love the rat ogre mini and would love to have one of those metal beasties.
I used him in two games and it went badly both times... 1st game and he went berserk on my first turn and in the next game he went berserk in my second turn, the rest of my rats scattered he only killed one thing in both games...and that was a giant rat I used to bring him closer to the enemy.
Is he usefull...no.
He sure was fun tho!! Good luck with him.

due to various matters, lately I didn't had very much time to dedicate to modeling/painting or gaming.
but I would like to show the finished Beastman I was workin on:



just some touches here and there, but the most keen eyed will notice that I 've rotated the halberd in a more proper position
