Data Sphere Painting Competition: Part 4

Welcome back to my work in progress posts for Data Sphere's current painting competition. This is part 4 of the series, where I paint the Infinity Authorized Bounty Hunter. There's only 2 and a half weeks left before the deadline end of May. But I'm close to being done.

Data Sphere Painting Competition: Part 3

Data Sphere's Infinity painting competition is drawing to a close by the end of May. Time to finish the Authorized Bounty Hunter for my PanOceania army.

Infinity Father Knight - The How To

I've talked about it before, on the official Infinity forums and on here, that I planned to do a How-To on the Father-Knight (FK), Corvus Belli's Limited edition release, that is only available in their Operation: Icestorm boxset.

Datasphere Painting Competition: WIP

There's a painting competition going on right now over at Data Sphere. All participants are supposed to paint a heavy infantry model in the next 3 months. Since competitions keep me motivated to paint, I decided to join.

How to paint Necron Deathmarks III - the Glow Effect

This is it, the final part of the Necron How To, with a special on the glow effect, or as it is also called - the Object Source Lighting (OSL) effect. It can be used in various ways and forms to add some fancy visuals to a miniature. Be it Space Marine eye lenses, glowing Tau rifles, flashing headlights on a tank - there's really no limit. The best part about it, though - it's not that hard to pull off, at all.

How to paint Necron Deathmarks - Part II

Hello all,

sorry that it's taken a while, work and health issues have kept me from finishing the Deathmarks as fast as I'd hoped. So let's get to the good stuff...there's no need for more "the story so far" moments. 

How to paint Necron Deathmarks - Part One

Finally, here it is, the promised How to paint Necron Deathmarks. I've teased this article for some time now, especially with this article here. Games Workshop developed some beautiful new models when they relaunched their Necrons, the deathmarks are among them. The cyclopean look, the long rifles and the menacing poses you can create with the kit are great. To top it off, I think Necrons are really easy and a joy to paint. So let's get to part one of this How to.

Your first miniature

I know, I know, you are waiting for the How to on the Necron Deathmarks. Don't worry, it's coming. Work is still keeping me from finishing the Necrons, though. In the meantime I thought I might show you all a little something... my first miniature:

It's been quiet...

Time for a break...

I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've been insanely busy with work. You know, the real life stuff that gets in the way of all the hobbying. 

Anyways, the coming weekend will be all about doing hobby stuff and getting those Necron deathmarks painted. I'm itching to get my hands on them again.

So, check back here next week to find some fresh and new content. See you around, guys. Have a nice weekend. Cheers,

Kenza

The dangers while priming miniatures

Hey all,

today's topic is more of a warning and at the same time a teaser for what's to come. It's about priming miniatures and the mishaps you might encounter. Too thick, too dusty, and how the hell do you prime properly anyways?

How To: The Raven Guard Chaplain - Part 2

For the Emperor!

Welcome back to the second part of the How-to article. I finished Part 1 with shading the miniature. This time I will try to tackle all the highlighting steps. Recently I've stuck with a 3-step highlight on my miniatures, unless it's a HQ choice or a miniature for a competition. The latter is the rare case nowadays, though. It's hard to find the time to attend Golden Demon and prepare a miniature appropriate for the required level of painting. Thus I stick to a high level of tabletop quality.

How To: The Raven Guard Chaplain - Part 1

A glorious Raven Guard Chaplain ready for battle!

Here it is, Part 1 of the promised How to-Article. I teased the Raven Guard Chaplain last week, in one of it's early stages. But before I start out with all the details about how he was painted, I'd like to give a little background. 

The mini was supposed to be a birthday present for a friend - he had recently gotten back into the hobby and decided to play Raven Guard. I've always loved the Jump Pack Chappy, so off I went to do some research on the mini.
