The beginning

Hey guys, I have decided to do a weekly blog update documenting my model painting. I'm hoping to eventually try my hand at some tutorials and maybe even some youtube videos, I suppose it all boils down to if there is enough demand or questions about it.
I thought I'd start off with showing some of my older models and then progress to some of me newer ones.

First off is the wight king, I bought this model the day it came out with the idea of entering it into a painting competition at my local gw. I didn't win the competition with this guy, but I did enjoy painting him.

Next up I thought I's show some of the off the 40k stuff I have painted. I'll start with the blood angel marine, I painted this guy to see if I could paint a blood angel if im honest, I always used to struggle with painting red when I was alot younger and thought I would try and exercise the daemons!

I think he turned out pretty well, Although I really need to learn how to take photo's as the colour seems quite washed out.

 Next up is astorath the grim! I loved this model when it was released and thought that seems I have no intentions of doing a blood angel force, I'd try my hand at NMM with him.

Im pretty happy with how the gold turned out, Although I can see the areas that need improvement for the next time I attempt the technique.

And lastly I thought i'd show you the most recent models off my painting table. These guys are an exercise in speed painting as im trying to build a warriors of chaos army quickly and to use in a tournament. I always saw myself as more of a modeller than a player, but having discovered a new gaming group ive been really bitten by the competitive gaming bug!

Here is my army's general a Tzeentch lvl4 on a disc. Im quite happy with the osl on this model and also the purple blends on his chain mail, It was my first time attempting that with and airbrush and I think the result is quite nice.

And lastly my lv2 This guy must have took me about 2 hours in total. Im pretty happy again with the airbrush work on his robes as they took next to no time and the overall effect is quite nice. Again though these guys are mostly for gaming so im not really trying to pull out any of the stops on them.

Well I guess thats my first post, Hopefully the first of many. 

Cheers!
