Menoth Jack

So my newest finished piece is finally done! Yay! I know it's not 40k but this girl needs a break from painting little metal nuns every so often. Although this piece really isn't much of a stretch.

At this point i'm painting for enjoyment and not for building an army so i've gone through a box of minis and set aside all the ones I think will be fun to paint. Seriously I have more than an army's worth to paint at this point.

I'm not super happy with these pic as the ivory shows up a bit to yellow due for my liking due to the conversion to web jpg. Also who ever sculpted the squigglies on the shoulder pads and other do-dads SUCKS, worst job ever.. seriously I could do better than that..ok maybe not but i don't get paid to sculpt and they did. They could have at least taken the time to smooth out the groove bumps, you know those raised edges you get when you drag a needle through some clay.. yeah those.

But besides that this guy was fun to paint, a lot of nice surface area to shade and highlight, nothing at all like that evil penitent engine. At the end I didn't do a lot of touch ups that I would normally do (out-lining every piece to make sure colors are crisp) Since I could have spent about 3-5 extra hours on that alone.

The next piece i've already start on : Calico Kate from Soda Pop Miniatures.

Riding Wolves

Recently my boyfriend Jason sculpted some awesome (IMHO) wolves for a small company: Paulson Games. <-- click to order some for yourself!

These wolves can be used for some of your favorite fantasy and space games.

The heads are inter-changeable and they also come with 'space legs' I believe 'fantasy legs' will be available soon. They also come with custom bases. You can see actual 'greens' pictures Here.

WarpWolf Extreme - WIP

So I'm working on something a little fun and a little crazy! I've always been a fan of werewolves and my boyfriend sculpted one crazy one for privateer press a while back.

I let this figure intimidate me for long enough. I finished putting him together and i've added the first few layers of paint to him as of last night. It's actually kind of fun being able to work with larger brushes on something that isn't a tank.

Tank Finished.... I think..

So I'm pretty much finished with my tank, I spent a few hours detailing it and I have to say after painting this I have no love for painting tanks at all. I'm not entirely happy with it but it's table ready. In a week or so I might go back and fix all the little stray bits of paint I missed this time around. Although I did have a little fun with wet blending on the little blue windows.

I've decided I really enjoy wet blending and could spend way to much time noodling with the paint and getting nothing done.

So yeah exorcist 1 done now to finish the other two I have still in the boxes. Although the other ones are the more traditional exorcist tanks with the pipe organ so those might actually be fun to paint.

BOLS smack down / Nerd Rage

Is it bad that I really really really enjoyed reading the bickering and smack down on the last BOLS Poll about the inquisition?
Seriously just because you are female in a primarily male hobby doesn't give you the right to be a total jerk to everyone who doesn't agree with your opinion. It's off putting and makes people avoid you and the forums that you post on.
I'm sure there is the same problem with certain people that are not female and it's just a 'human issue also known as Nerd Rage' but when there are such a small amount of female players in this game one bad apple makes the rest of us just look bad.
