Tzneench Terminators

Here are some Tzneench Terminators.  There were painted with an airbrush to get some really cool color transitions.

High Elf Wizard, Alternate Color Scheme

Here is a High Elf Wizard painted in an alternate color scheme.  I enjoyed painting a little bit of freehand on the cloak.  The customer seemed really happy with the contrast between the purple and green.

Tzneench Demonic Herald... I think

Here we have a Tzneench Demonic herald.  I believe that this is an older GW model.  It was painted for fun.

What do you think?

These Colors Don't Run Relaunch

Over the last few years my circumstances have changed considerably in terms of my personal, professional, and hobby life.  It only follows that the blog should change as well.  In an effort to reinvent this blog to better reflect current ideas and directions I chose "These Colors Don't Run."

Here is a sample of the new direction I want to pursue.

Who's Da Boss!?

Here is an older model from the Assault on Black Reach set that I pained a few weeks ago.

I finally got out the photo box so that I could take some good pictures.

This means WAAAAAGGGGGGHHHH

It is an older model but I think that the paint looks pretty good.

Do you ever find a use for old starter box models?

Let me know what you think,

All the Updates

I have been painting a little bit of everything lately.

First is a Tzeentch Daemon Prince.

With this model I played with my airbrush.  It is the most on and off tool I have ever used......

I have also used my new light box to try and take some decent pictures. Overall I am happy with the product.  I need a bit more light, but hey, for 35.00 USD from Amazon I am happy with the result.

I also painted a 100 Years War model from Perry miniatures. This guy is a WIP but was a reward for finishing 18 ACW guys.

I believe he was primed and painted in under 1.5 hours.  A quick job but fun.

I have another 5 or so of these men at arms, some archers, and 3 knights.  Enough to make a small warband that I will never play with. :P

I have also discovered that you have to enjoy your hobby for what it is.  I almost never play anymore but I am really enjoying painting for it's own sake.  In a society that is mostly focused on itself, sometimes that mentality is rightfully earned in the hobby world.  I mean, it is your hobby right?  It should be all about you..... Right? Right?

Thanks for stopping by,

15mm ACW Union

Here is a small collection of 114 15mm ACW Union.  I have no idea where the figures are from.

Interestingly enough, the majority of the paint work done on these was with craft paint. It just goes to show how a nice paint job can be achieved without breaking the bank.

Cheers!
