Just got a spiffy new iPod touch and I’m loving the apps! Just a little test here to see how I’m liking the wordpress one. New pictures comin soon!

The Goon in Oil

Kustim-Ork — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 02:40:24 +0000

I’ve been doing a lot in oil lately! Here are a few of my latest completed works.

The Goon and Franky. Oil on Canvas, 16 x 20″

If you don’t read Eric Powel’s Goon, go to your local comic store and buy it now! Its comedic blend of mobsters, zombies, mad scientists and the bizarre is fantastic!

Captain H – Oil on wood 18 x 24″

A mysterious chap, highly decorated in the airship division of the Queens army.

Mad Dok

Started work on my Mad Dok Grotsnik to accompany my Mega Nobs. I’m still deciding on the pose but one thing I do know, he will have a massive syringe!

Lord Rockbottom and Dirty Meg

Back to what I’ve gotten done lately! Warmachine! I’ve been having a blast playing since the new edition and its helped me get a lot of models done. Presenting, Lord Rockbottom.

I have to say, Mark II is way smoother, easier to play and a heck of a lot more fun. I admit I whined and complained about all the stuff they took away from certain figures, (still a few things bug me) but now I see it was for the best. The new ability icons make game play a breeze too. To fix my Warjacks, Dirty Meg!

Honoured Imperium Orkified!

The moment I saw the Space marine statue finally solicited I knew that it had a future in my scenery collection. It was a bit difficult to decide where to stop with the conversion to an Ork. I wanted it completely recognizable as a Marine but obviously modified by some fantaic Grots. I dug into the bitz box and came out with this. Let me know what you think. Wuaagh!

New Brush!

Kustim-Ork — Fri, 07 May 2010 03:56:49 +0000

I’ve gotten back into the painting swing, completing 2 solo warmachine models which I think are the 2 best models I’ve ever painted. I can honestly say that its the brush picking up the slack. I splurged on a Winsor and Newton Series 7 #0 kolinsky sable brush and its like night and day. Like one day someone took away my bent butter knife and gave me a sonic screwdriver! A word of advice though when buying one. Always buy in person and not over the internet. Each brush is hand made and so some will be slightly more perfect than others. A cool feature with the series is that every size all the way up to #10 will point to the same tiny tip meaning you could paint your miniature just the same with the largest brush! But with a list price of $430 dollars I think I’ll stick to a #1. Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable brushes are a definite recommend!

Possessed

Kustim-Ork — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:31:53 +0000

Finally painted up some possessed I built ages ago. They use some Tyranid, Chaos spawn, and Mage Knight bits. See those Mage Knight figures do come in handy!

Ninja Turtle

Kustim-Ork — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:08:15 +0000

Here’s what I’ve been working on the last week. Sculpted over an armature, brown stuff and brass and 2 sewing needles for the base of the weapons which will be a pair of sai like Raphael’s.

I did it for a D&D character that was just started. Yes he is a ninja, and a teenager…

The Protectorate of Menoth Invade

Kustim-Ork — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 14:11:55 +0000

Well here it is, another game I play. Warmachine. It’s actually a nice game to play if you have a 40k addiction. It’s just different enough that when your a little 40k’ed out you can play a few games of Warmachine. I play the Protectorate of Menoth, the crazy church fanatics who prefer to just burn all who oppose them. It’s a nice opposite to my Chaos and Orks.

Halt, is that furnace energy efficient?

The champions of Disease

Kustim-Ork — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 05:39:19 +0000

Finally I can post lots of new pictures for your viewing pleasure! First up, something I picked up at last summers Games Day Canada in Toronto, The Nurgle Blight Drone.

As expensive as they are, Forgeworld models practically build and paint themselves! They are in the end worth every penny in my opinion.

You may notice a lot of my bases have victims, and just to snub the new army and because of the insignia on the power fist I had to have my victim a space wolf! Sorry guys!…. No I’m not. Take that you baby blue and gray wearing pretty boys in your fur.

I also have finally finished a Demon Prince. I tried to go with something more like fly wings. They came out pretty well and are removable with magnets if I don’t wish to pay the points. I always do however. I’ll get some more close ups of this one in the Nurgle gallery whenever I get that all up and finished. The blood spatter effect came out particularly well on this one!

That’s all for tonight. Next post I’ll put up my other dirty secret… that other non GW game I play! I bring so much shame….
