A place for me to dump my Warhammer
I do very much prefer it when I live edit these posts so I don’t have to crawl through months and months of messages 😀 But here it goes!! The beautiful wonderful Vlad Fox and his Eldrad Statue for me!! The Startings – Humble Beginnings Update 2 – So… with no feedback from me whatsoever […]
Whilst painting my Avatar I was going through the different blood reds I had as I wanted to make sure that the model I was painting looked the same as it did when it was made, so 1998 really. Which meant I was using the paints from then. The black screw lids. However… At the […]
Apparently it turns out my documenting of this model is very very limited 😀 But I guess, this was one of the models that I gave almost no feedback too, which is pretty rare and a testament to Vlads skills when its not “100% perfect Eldar”!! Here were all the references photos I could supply […]
I thought I should just display the contents of the box for nothing other than if I need to check myself at a later date 🙂
Way back in December 2016 I emailed a chap who had posted what was a very very rare thing. 2nd Ed sealed boxes… But a lot of them. The order was completed on the 20th of April 2017. My eyes watered just looking at it. After around 45 emails back and forth with Daniel we […]
This was done over a year ago now, which is a shame. But the model was at the castors for some 9 months without it being cast. Finally they are being sent back to me 🙂 This was the first model done our lord and saviour Robby Crawforth lol So here he is!! Foundations Body […]
Something a little bit different this time round. I would say different in aesthetics more than anything. The sculptor I would say wasn’t the “normal” gw style. Which led me to the perfect Exodite model for his dynamics. Update #1 – Foundations I didn’t really have much to say even when he asked lol. I […]
I would like to have taken proper photos of these boxes, with lighting and close ups. However I moved them into the Loft until I get bored of the current display that I have. Humm I should have planned this better without a doubt. I order these boxes in January 2018, they were delivered promptly […]
This was actually the first painting that I had ever seen and thought… Yes, this is the model I would like to have sculpted. I have no idea why it “spoke” to me in such a way, but it opened up the way for me and my sculpting journey. Mapping the pose I never actually […]
So I wasn’t actually part of this “commission” and by that i mean, I had no hand in the idea or input. It was all Mr Robby. But after he showed me the model I thought… ye fair play i do certainly want that!
Other than Biel Tan Eldar, this group of models have been the ones more than any other than in the Warhammer Universe, which means all models, that I wanted to paint the most. Original released in 1999 Command Squad. As much of my childhood models, I want to recreate the shit out of it lol […]
I had the luck of stumbling upon a website that was selling Geoff’s original arts for reasonable prices. At least relative for how much I loved this artwork. Here are the images when I was in the framing shop, as in, without the glass barrier that strips out all of the colour 😀 So of […]
Odd thing to blog about lol but I enjoyed seeing all the FW items laid out on a shelf truth be told!
I had the pleasure of annoying Des with constant messages and flirting. This below are photos of the amazing artwork. I’m a man of many many words, in person. But in writing rather less… But getting these artworks from Des has certainly taken the shine off the pure pencil on white, from himself and other […]
I had actually never seen this artwork before. Which does take the “need” to buy it away a touch. But I saw it and thought… hum hummm yep! I love it I do!! Getting it in person was much much better than seeing the images Des had shared. The sly dog!!! I need to update […]
In 2016 I reached out to Les to enquire if he had any Original artwork for sale from the Games Workshop guys.He didn’t. Which led me to then asking if he would consider doing a commission piece with Eldar as the focus, he quoted me a price… i said oh boy!He said he understoodI said, […]
For the past 18 months I have been ordering things from the US eBay and sending them to either Jason or Joe Oretza lol those poor chaps. Here is more or less the entire order from Jason’s house. Funnily when you order so much over such a long period you completely forget what you ordered.
Here are some more photos from my trip to Warhammer world back in 2015 with my Sister and Tina. Fond memories. So here is another stand out piece from the day.
13th of Jan – a head 13th of Jan Evening – Initial Body positions 14th of Jan – Initial Body with head and cloak At this point I had some feedback that the body was actually rather human like. Vlad has been fantastic at taking on feedback. Not only at listening to the feedback but […]
Things went much with Gautier 🙂 So much so that we’re going to work on another project soon. Here is my painted version next to the normal eldar Farseer.
I do love a good Eldar commission and here is my second, based on the beautiful artwork by beckjann.deviantart.com. This was completed April 2018. Below is the finished product. I was a little disappointed with the chest size and the head size. The sculptor did not want to change the sculpt. But here we are.
Finally got my hands on one of these buggers… This was the one… (one of the ones) that I looked at with utter dread. Having such open spaces on the model I really had no idea how I would tackle the model and not make it look boring, in the end I was happy with […]
Honestly I cannot believe this is 5 years old already. I feel shame and embarrassment lol I also think its much better than I realised! So this is obviously the sculpt that an Ex-Staff member did for me, much love for that! Based on Mark Gibbons Artwork Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 […]
So somebody in the community kept pestering me for some rather small parts of an Eldar vehicle I have, which meant I finally had time to go back up there and hunt for the dam thing… 1h and a lot of rearranging and I find the bugger!
In November 2015 my Sister and the Lady took me to WW, I took many photos.
Day 1 – I’ve had the model a while… After getting a little scared with mr fek wit Asurmen I thought, ye lets do a quick win… 2 weeks later lol Day 2 – So now we get the little bugger ready for some paint! A snack Day 3 – I can’t help it, start […]
For all the time I have been collecting… I have been after custom sculpts of my favourite artwork… Below are the labours of the sculptors love :p These little shits are honestly so fucking good that I get “excited” 😉 just looking at them. Be far the best I’ve had and long man the sculptor […]
I think I will need to revisit this one tbh, I painted this in around 6h or something very fast by my standards, just to get it out. I was deep in lessons with Alfonso at the time and everything was about speed and not thinking about it too much! Lessons I’ve learnt to apply […]
