On The Bench: Gangland Gonks II

Gangland Gonks II.  It sounds like a top film to me.
Well, I've squeezed the bolts into the machine before the snow arrives.  These two gonks will need a small amount of tickling and a couple of coats of varnish before they are handed over for assessment.
I'm planning the next two in this series which will probably a "hoody" and another BIG gun toting dude.

I must get a better camera.

On The Bench: Gangland Gonks

The post apocalypse gang in now well on the way.  The theme behind these is black and dark! (So normal for me then).
I'm going to paint a lighter contrasting rubble with a bit of rust for good measure.

These figures are all from HassleFree, a great company and part of "The Forum of Doom"

(When I've done the entire gang then I'll let you into a little secret).

Look what's on the bench Bob!



I've spent too long on the Monolith. I don't think I will ever be happy with it and its time to sign it off, (almost...).

Next up: back to some long overdue 28mm characters.  Loving these. Sorry for the delay Bob!

Posted on the move. TGM

This Necron thing is doing my noggin in.



I keep adding and changing the green black and bright green ratio but  not pleased.

Deep breaths. Almost done.

Neomics are coming to town.

Just seen the news that Neomics will not only be attending VaulCon 2011 but they'll be sponsoring the BloodBowl competition!
This is going to be great!

When I said bigger...

...I meant BIGGER!

This has been a WIP for a very looong time now, (Sorry guys) and has been in the backgound with a little dab on it here and there.  It's really difficult to paint a HUGE model like this, (IMO), but am pleased with the progress.

Teeny Weeny Halloweenies - DONE

Yep, managed to finish the Necromantic Halloweenie team without completely losing my sight.  (It came close to going when the sun went in and the lamp wasn't bright enough).

Still, I hope Pete is happy - they did look pretty cool, (for 15mm).

My favourite? Well apart from the grave marker stones which were just scenery it's got to be the ghosts erupting from gravestones.  (However, the werewolves were also good and the golems were loveable and the upright skelly was OK).

The zeds though...
(The ones with arms needed pinning - that was a pain and the short "igor" ones, well you can't like them all)


I wouldn't mind trying the vampires from this range but for now I've got my eye on bigger things...

It's official - I am now boss-eyed.

These Halloweenies are well small.
Weenie is the word.
They are making progress though and I reckon they may even see a game this season! (There's only one more match to go and it's a bit of a crunch match against the Norse women).
If you fancy joining the fun next season then check out: The Games Vault.  (There will also be a BloodBowl boot camp on 4th December 2010).

It's a funny old game.

I've just played the most surreal, funnest game of Bloodbowl.
Orcs V Orcs in a relegation zone battle. No score upto turn 7 in the second half then four touchdowns; three of which were throw team mate and a long bomb and run in - almost the length of the pitch!
Roll on VaultCon
