Effective Miss-Direction

So couple of weeks back I made mention of a new commission and whilst I'm eager to show it off, the client has asked me to keep it under wraps for now, so all I can show you is this....

It's nothing sinister, but for the time being, that's all I can show you until we get closer to the finishing line. I'm still working on the sculpt and it is coming along nicely if I do say so.... I just can't show any of you internet folks yet.

In the mean time, I've been painting away my lunch breaks in work, trying to get a few more Witch Hunters done and at home playing with a bunch of spare parts from my bitz box.

Going off some feed back from the AoS28 FB group, I've tried to come up with something a bit more original regarding a backstory and a setting for this lot. Once again, there are some talented hobbiests out there and I've been inspired by their take on an old fantasy trope of knights hunting monsters. I'll flesh everything out another day. For now I'm having too much fun playing with glue and plastic :)

Seeking Evil

This week I've actually been quite productive. Both at the hobby desk and at the (real) job. First the boring stuff, I got a promotion at work so whilst I get more responsibility I at least get the pay rise and minions that go with it. Plus after England getting themselves knocked out of the sportsball tournament, I had some free time on shift to play with...

Don't what it is or what it's for, but I'll most likely build something cool as a result of these doodles.

It's possible, that I've been bitten by the AoS28 bug of late. following on from last week WIP of my Witch Hunters, I've stumbled onto the Dark Age of Sigmar forums and been quite smitten with some of the ideas that exist there. I think it's time I got my old band of Gaming buddies back in shape for Mordheim later this year. For now, here are the first lot of finished Witch Hunters. (from left to right; Tom the Farmer, Ruthigg the Torturer, Witch Hunter Captain Stein, Father Lupeski and Johann the Fanatic)

 I put a few extra details into Captain Stein. As the boss he'd be taking a bigger cut of the confiscated possessions of his quarry. Stands to reason he'd be a dangerous zealot as well.

That's all for now. Until next week, I'll hopefully get a chance to finish off another batch of the Witch Hunter crew.

Too Damn Hot

Ok, the weather has officially got the better of me. After the weekend working, the British summer time can go now, I've had enough of the heat. Thankfully I've managed to not suffer a case of Dave's Syndrome (well done to those that get the reference) but I did try to do a spot of painting in the garden. I've nearly finished my band of Witch Hunters.

These have been a joy to paint, though not finished yet. Some may remember these guys from last year. They were built as part of a competition that I was happy to get 3rd place. A big thanks to the guys at Osprey for that. I'm looking to get a few games of Frostgrave in with these boys to help take my mind off the heat.

I've also picked up a new commission. This one is a bit special, I'll explain more when things get underway properly.

Mechanical Marvels

Short post this week. Kinda had a lot going in the real world, but I was able to get my Ork Dreds finished at long last. I was able to get a rematch of Glazer's Farm in this week against Keron, but the Dreds didn't feature. Short version this time, the Ad-Mech never survived the second assault o_0

I also got the Big Mek with Force Field Generator finished too. Here's a bunch more pictures of the new toys. I'll hopefully have more new stuff for you next week... If the heat doesn't kill me first.
