Captain Jeremiah Kraye and the Gang II

To make this brilliant gonk stand out I thought long and hard.  In the end I thought the base, (which is great already), should be extended higher.  I removed the superglued base and raised it on three pins.  (It looked like a tripod from War of the Worlds).

As this was very unsteady I rapidly squeezed green stuff under and around the existing base then sculpted the green stuff to hopefully "blend" in with the rock formation.  Sand and rubble was glued on and all left to dry overnight.

(I'm sure it'll look better when painted).

Captain Jeremiah Kraye and the Gang

Okay, here we go.

Jack has waited a fairly long time for these...

White! Yes, white undercoated gonks given to the Gonk Machine.  What's all that about?

Still, I'm sure TGM can cope. 
I was asked to make Captain Jeremiah Kraye, (the horse riding bloke), stand out a bit as it will be used by Daventry's finest Privateer Press Pressganger! 

So, what to do with what is already a fantastic gonk?  (The other two figures will be more "standard issue").

Coming Shortly: Captain Jeremiah Kraye

Watch this space Jack!

The League's '"Random" Events

In our Bloodbowl League there is a "random" event each round. I say "random" as it has been said that these events favour the bash teams.  I personally think they are done quite fairly and are great fun.  (Also I play Orcs so I don't care!)

This round we have to take on a child for work experience as part of our team.  My Orcs will be having this little Goblin kid from MANTIC Games:

(Hopefully I won't be using the KO'd gonk as there "will be repercussions".)

I can't wait to put him on the frontline to help replace my two dead and two MNG skilled Black Orcs - ouch!

The Commish's Vampires - XI

There.  I knew The Gonk Machine would use those New Year lightning bolts.  With no further input from me the two vampires for the Commish have been finished.  (They look like they've been based and given a protective coat of varnish or two).

The Commish's Vampires - X

Getting closer now.
I have chosen a stone colour for the base skin tone of the "human vamp" then given it a wash of Seapia.

It's time these gonks were finished.  I'm just going to leave "The Gonk Machine" on overnight to see what happens.

The Commish's Vampires - IX

Here we go.
I've carefully rinsed the nail varnish remover off with plain old water.
After another drying session under the painting lamp, I've reglued the hand and painted thinned black on the bare metal.
 On the feral vamp I have washed the bronzed armour in Badab Black and given some darker colour to the recessed muscle and highlighted a lot lighter on the raised areas.
