SUPER DUNGEON EXPLORE


Wow another month has blown by so fast, were does the time go?
Anyways I'm back from a much needed break to Portugal and had a week of at home too, so I'm nice and recharged and rested.
Enough chat time to show you what I've been doing in recent weeks, the first up is the chests from Super Dungeon Explore These were a blast to paint up and I stuck them on some bases to match them to the figures from the game.


This is the Barbarian chick, Paladin and Thief from the set, Adam from Warhammer Tau painted the Paladin I did the other two on the first afternoon we met up to do some painting.
On the second afternoon he painted the Dwarf and myself the Wizard, I was distracted by Adam putting Predator on the TV awesome film!

I still have the Archer and Sorceress to do, once they are done I will post pics of them for you.
There is a secret project in the works too, I am just awaiting the models to arrive in the next week or two, once I am able I will spill the beans, suffice to say I am well chuffed to be painting these!!!

All the best and thanks for looking

TuShan complete

Hi Munky fans,
Many apologies for taking so long to post this I have been extremely busy.
As you can see I finished the TuShan model and the Cyclone Terminator for the client, these are the final two figures for the moment in the Salamanders commission.

I learnt how hard it is to get a nice smooth blend with white (damn that was hard!) and how tough it is to get a clean finish with your sculpting, so to all you dudes and dudettes who do it a massive chunk of respect goes out to you.

So what have I been up to recently.....not much to be honest sorry, I'm still grinding through my Space Wolves I post up the pics once I have finished the current 3 models.
Why three you may ask, it's a good number for me to work on at one time, any more and I get bored and less and I feel like I'm not making progress.

I have started to play about with the new Games Workshop paints and they don't seem too bad, I've stocked up on the colours I need for my Space Wolves as I was silly enough to make a custom grey......DOH!

I have been painting up some Super Dungeon explore figures with my buddy Adam and once they are done I'l post them up too, they are very nasty sculpts but they are way cool when painted.

That's all for now folks

Il catch up soon

Warhammer Forge Masterclass

- Above image is used without GW consent.

Hello once again, it's been a few weeks but I have tales to tell.

Once again real life has been getting in the way of my hobby time but the move draws ever closer and my new workspace looms on the horizon so it's a case of "good things come to those who wait!"

Enough of that and onto what I've been upto this past weekend.......

As the title suggests I attended the Warhammer Forge Masterclass this past Saturday hosted by Adam Snook and with Phil Stutcinskas and Mark Bedford as our teachers for the day.

I drove up the night before and stayed in the Park Plaza hotel in the city center mainly so I was rested and ready for a hard days painting, the day began with registration in Bugmans Bar at 9:30 we were led across to a conference room setup with a video camera and projection screen so we could watch up close.

Each painter had a workstation setup with brushes and paints and an Ogre Kingdoms Stonehorn/Thundertusk model built into subsections and basecoated appropriately, the schedule for the day and which areas we were going to cover along with what paints were used was laid out on a laminated sheet (which we got to keep along with the brushes and model!)





Phil and Mark had previously built and painted each of the variants in their own style for us to drool over, and the painting for the day was to cover their techniques for painting good looking armies very fast.


The actual day was great their methods are very easy to follow and whilst they may seem very strange they work amazingly well, I honestly believe that everyone in the room could produce a model as good as the two shown above with what we were shown on the day.

Adam Snook was photographing us and uploading them to the GW facebook page throughout the day so if you want to see more check out their facebook page .

I will be returning to the model in a series of articles very soon to divulge what I learnt and to finish it, it is an awesome plastic kit packed with detail so will be a joy to paint.

See you soon
