Ripper for a day! Love the Neomics Troll. |
This blog should keep track of all the gonks that I'm painting - I'll try and upload pictures as well as keep this up to date. I want to paint full time but am doing commissions for quite a few people - I'm loving it. Visit: http://www.thegonkmachine.co.uk/

The 'Shrooms
Here's some pictures of Steve from The Games Vault's BloodBowl team.
These were used to almost good effect in Vault Bowl 2010. Will they be dusted off for VAULTCON 2011?

Captain Cape was a crowd fave! |
Yes, he was really that bright. |
VaultCon 2011
The Gonk Machine will be at next year's Vaultcon.
We'll be running an open painting competition - judged by fellow gamers and a speed painting competition, (10 minutes allowed to slap some paint on!) - judged by The Gonk Machine!

The 'Weenies continue.
I think that I've got it right now.
I've gone for a fairly bright "Arcane Blue" from P3 for the uniform colour. This will of course be low lighted and highlighted.
The trim will be white but I'll have to do some black or/and brown boots and belts as is fit.
The size of these models does make it slightly tricky to see where the clothing is, especially on the zombies as I think some of the "shirt" is actually rotting flesh.
Anyway, they're coming along nicely.

Just gathering and ordering a few bits for the upcoming Persians.

Weenies
Yes, it's true: I'm going boss-eyed.
All of the Halloweenie team have been started and I'm playing with colours.
They're actually not too bad to paint.(If you squint a bit and have massive goggles and a really bright light).

What's next?
Well there's been an arranged change of plan, so lucky me, I've got to squint and strain to paint these 15mm Bloodbowl players!
They'll be played in the very popular Blood Bowl League, (now in it's fourth season), which is based at The Games Vault in Daventry.
The new season starts in November 2010 so get onto the forum and sign yourself up!
Here's a group photo of this silly but effective Necromantic team.
And now in proportion against a proper sized figure. (This is another reason why I hate Flames of War).

One man's fun is another's trip to the optician. ;)

Mantic again.
I painted this Mantic Elf as scenery.
I will be playing a High Elf army at some point in the future if I ever get a moment. I know that I've done a bronze statue before but I think the pose on the gonk is great.

Mantic bits and pieces...
Mantic Games are about to release their alternative rule set to Warhammer. The game plays well but we'll see how popular it becomes.
The Mantic figures, I think, are superb.
Yes, the Elves are skinny, (just how I imagine them); the Dwarves are stout with beards, (err - again, kinda what I thought); the skellys are a bit weird, (some seem a bit bow legged) BUT the zombies are superb!
I've been waiting patiently for these and couldn't help sneak a quick paint job in between projects.
Also, here's a few more Mantic gonks:

Pro Elves - Done
They've taken a loooong time. (I did have Vault Bowl in betwen I guess).
Still, I think they look OK.
(The diamonds are more noticeable on the backside!).

Hopefully, they play well - pesky elvsis.

Pro Elves - BloodBowl Team
Just getting the Pro Elves finished - had to wait since last night for the matt varnish to dry.
A bit of static grass and white paint is all that's needed - well apart from the little bits...
