Miniature Mondays: Boar (Finished)

Boar is Finished

I finally finished Boar! He came out better than expected. I haven’t painted in awhile and visiting Europe made me appreciate art and the skill that goes into it. I also visited a few game stores and a lot of their models looked great and I saw a few that won awards. This inspired me to paint a lot more in the coming months. We’re going to start playing some Guild Ball at a LGS and I would like to finish my team soon. Painted miniatures look better on the table.
I tried to do some new techniques which turned out better than expected. I still need to work on painting skin but this is great step in the right direction. Need to work on blending as well. I’m not sure what I’ll paint next but it will be something from Butchers.

Attacking Midfielder: Boar

I haven’t done much painting lately but I just got back from Europe and picked up some brushes. A Da Vinci, a few Raphaels and some Rembrandts. Seeing all the museums in Europe has inspired me to continue painting and has renewed my interest. I can’t wait to try out my new brushes on a few models. Since I painted Ox instead of Boar, I decided he would be next. I’ll be following the same scheme but I’ll be slightly changing some colors. I want to finish this guy over the next week or two. He’s one of my favorite characters from the game. Here are some pictures before I paint him.

Miniature Mondays: “Meat the Butchers” My Guild Ball Team

Meat the Butchers

After painting Reznik2 and Durst I wanted to paint something new. I love my Protectorate models but I needed a pallet cleanser so, I  picked up a Guild Ball team, The Butchers. I was tempted to pick up the Alchemists or Engineers but the Butchers spoke to me. I wanted to play a team that was more melee focused and straight forward. Here are some pictures of my models before they get a coat of primer. Hopefully I can finish a few of them and start on more Warmachine models.

First model on deck is going to be Boar. He’s an awesome model, rules wise and his sculpt looks sweet. That huge cleaver is going to do some damage! I’m not sure what the paint scheme is going to be but I really like the Protectorate of Menoth colors. I didn’t want to stray from colors I like so I might go with that.

Miniature Mondays: Reznik 2 Update

Sorry This Took So Long

After taking months off of painting this miniature I finally got some inspiration to finish it. With the release of Warmachine “MK3” I want to finish as many miniatures as possible. I’ve finished the horses, the wheels and a wrack. Need to do some touch ups on the horses but that shouldn’t be difficult. Need to start painting the chariot, and finish the base, the other wrack and flags. I should have this done in a month or so.

Miniature Mondays: Reznik 2 WIP

I finished most of the work on Reznik. I still have to do a few highlights but that will come later. I’m still having trouble with blacks. Getting highlights just right is becoming more difficult. I need to work on mixing my highlight colors and blending but I’m happy with my results. Shading is getting easier and I’m seeing an improvement in my technique. I still have a lot to learn. I will be starting on the horses next and then the wracks hopefully.

With the TFG finished it’s time to put Reznik 2 on deck. I finished clipping some flash and mold lines, and I finished washing him with some soap. Next up, I need to prime pieces and start painting. Going to start with Reznik and then start on the horses and chariot.

Miniature Mondays: Finishing the TFG and Starting Reznik 2

Nick PalomoLeave a comment

I just finished painting my last Temple Flameguard model but I still need to finish some of their shields. I also need to finish painting their bases but that should take an hour or two. I have been putting this unit off for two years and they are almost finished.

After I finish the TFG most of my focus will be on Harbinger and Reznik 2. Since Harbinger is already prepped and primed, I decided to work on Reznik 2. The model has some mold lines and flash but it’s easy to clean up. I like working with resin more than metal. He looks challenging to assemble but I’m sure I can get it done.

Miniature Mondays: TFG Update

Finished some prep on my officer and standard bearer and started painting the last two models for the main unit. I’m almost done with my last grunt and unit leader, need to do a wash and finish up the bases. The grunt came off his base, so that will need to be attached before I finish some dry brushing.
These models should be done by this week, hopefully.

Miniature Mondays: Temple Flameguard

Nick PalomoLeave a comment

After finishing Tristan Durant I needed a new project to work on. I wanted to start on Reznik 2 but it seemed like a huge task. Since Anson Durst will be out soon, I decided to finish my Temple Flameguard unit and unit attachment. I’ve finished two models so far and I’m working on them three at a time. Should be finished with them in two weeks if not earlier. The WIP picture shows my current color scheme which is close to the studio.
