Blood Bowl: Imperial Nobility Team

I said this month was going to be a good one! We're just in time for one more post and it's a big one. Please give a very warm welcome to the Imperial Nobility Blood Bowl Team!

 

These are not really part of my backlog of painted miniatures I have yet to show off. These are fresh off the painting table and, like most of my projects, started out as "something quick" and became a labour of love. All the numbers are freehand, as are the names!

I'd like to point out that the two blitzers were an absolute pain to paint the names on, because not only was there a deep bend in the parchment but it points down! You can't even see the writing unless you tilt the model!

I'm really proud of these as tabletop-ready minis so I've decided to make them the inaugural models of my Instagram page. That's right, I've finally decided to learn how to use social media to show off models and get feedback. Let's not make a big deal about it, do feel free to search samspaintingsaga on Instagram!

 

Necron Overlord

I decided to try out some fluorescent paints and OSL. I've never used fluorescent paints and I'm not great at OSL. Nevertheless, here's the result!

Not perfect by any means, but not bad for the tabletop! I think I'll try to do a small Necron force in this scheme.

Until next time, happy painting!

Poxbringer AKA Herald of Nurgle

This is going to be a good month for catching up on sharing models!

 

Here is my Herald of Nurgle. Not much to say about this one. I love Nurgle models because you don't have to worry too much about being tidy, so they're very relaxing to paint. Hope you like it!

Until next time, happy painting!  

Return of the Chaplain

Waaaay back in the beginning you may recall I painted a Blood Angels Chaplain for a friend. A lot has happened since then and said friend left the continent for greener pastures, downsizing his collection to make the trip easier.

 

I remember painting that chaplain with fondness and never imagined I'd see him again. The wargaming community around these parts is small, though. Unbeknownst to me, my first chaplain model traded hands to a friend of a friend not far from where I originally left him, and made his way back to me as a gift when I joined that gaming group!

 

He was a little banged up and dusty, but a clean up and a touch up where the paint had chipped had him better than new again, and here he is!

 

 

This blast from the past now stands proudly in the display with more recent minis and I couldn't be happier. I have quite a few newer pieces yet to be posted, but until then enjoy sharing this memory with me.

 

Happy painting!
