Menoth - now with added lightning

Ok so i finally had a chance to paint some of my Warmachine mountain ( and my god is it turning into a mountain...) Really glad i found the time to get this guy done, as soon as i saw him i wanted to paint him and he was a blast to work on!

For those who dont follow /play Warmachine the mini above is the Mercenary solo Orin Midwinter. He used to be a Cygnar inquisitor but has since turned rogue and is lending his services to other factions. Rules wise im still getting used to him. Hes got some great abilities that can really null the enemies magic. Oh and did i mention he brings lightning to menoth?

Ive got some pics of minis from my Menoth collection which il try and post up. Warmachine is an ongoing project that i dip into when i can.

Whats up next? Still working on some minis for Foundry, Warmachine where i can fit it in, and possibly another commision that im very excited about.

Cheers
Rob

keep on Bloggin'

Its been a while since the last update, sorry about that. So whats been going on with RJ and his painting? Well ive had alot going on, just finished a big comission and im in the middle of another. One of the minis in the comission is the Swashbuckler featured above. Ive got a few other commisions lined up but if you are interested in me doing a bit of painting for you just drop me an email and we can talk.

In terms of my own projects ive been touching on alot of things rather than focusing on anything specific. Im kinda doing this so i dont lose interest with anything too fast! So im currently working on 6mm Dark Realm Sci-Fi, GHQ WWII micro armour, West Wind Secrets of the third Reich and Renegade WWI,. Ive loooooooots more projects aswell but these are the ones that currently have my attention.

So the mini above is (i think) a Black Cat Pirate / Swashbuckler. First time ive painted a miniature from Black Cat and Im fairly impressed. Nicely cast and sculpted with lots of detail in the face.

More to come soon

Pirates of the...err..Internet?

Hi all,

Another mini from the "random" box. This is Mad Jim Jones from Black Scorpions Pirate range. This guy was great fun to paint, sooooo much character on him. Really enjoyed working on his face in particular. Dont have any more pirates planned for the near future but who knows what else i might find lying around!

Cheers

Pinkertons

Ok so here are some Artizan Pinkerton Detectives ive recently finished. These guys arent for my Personal collection, they are destined for eBay sometime soon. Had real fun painting them, good practice on long coats!

So ive started playing 15mm Napoleonics (thanks G.O.G's - you know who you are...) so expect some pics of those sometime soon. Im painting quite randomly at the moment so im working on anything that takes my fancy. Means i will touch on all those projects but will i ever get one finished?! hmm....

cheers

Even more Explorers

Hey Everyone,

Here are the last couple of African Explorers ive been working on. Foundy sculpts of course. Really enjoying painting some minis from this period, they have some great character and its given me alot of practice with my muted tones.

Im trying to work through some commisions over the next couple of weeks. But i should have some more stuff to post up here. I have some pics of my Warmachine Menoth Army so far, really enoying painting them and playing the game - its awesome!

More soon

Rob

More Exploring

Heres another couple of Darkest Africa Explorers from Foundry. Ive got another couple to get done and then i can move on to My German Colonial force for my Darkest Africa project. These Explorers are being sold off on eBay to fund the project. Im going with the "In the heart of Africa" rules set by Chris Peers.

So whats up next? too much to list but il give it a try.... Ive started my Imperial Navy for Aeronautica Imperialis. Ive nearly finished my first 25mm ACW base (new Perry plastics) Ive got a few WW1 Early British Infantry from Renegade undercoated. Plus alot more random stuff...

cheers

"Leeloo Dallas - Muti pass"

After watching Fifth Element last night i remembered i had this cute little sculpt lying around somewhere. She's from Heresy Miniatures and is sculpted in the likeness of the lead female character in Fifth Element "Leeloo".

She was great fun to do and im happy how she came out. Was nice to paint some orange as i dont usually get to do much. The base is from Antenociti, very good quality stuff.

Not sure what il have for you next, ive got lots on the table plus a new commision that may take up a month or so of my painting time in the near future. Il let you know...

cheers
