A tale of one


Yup, it's a tale of one lamer. I have completely failed to get a single ratman painted this month.

To be fair to myself I have-
Sculpted 3 ratmen
Almost finished 6 commission pieces
Painted and created a kickstarter for the new gnomes and goblins
Built a goblin siege tower
Painted some new rock formations for my gaming table
Written all the creature entries for the new The Woods book
Drawn and painted 3 new art pieces for the book
Done a show and contacted several publishers and magazines
Bought a house

But none of that excuses me, sorry I have failed you.

I am taking a lot of December off, I will do better. By January I should then have enough skavenslaves to do the final part.

Gnomevember offerings

Hi there, me again.

Some of you may have seen I have a little kKickstarter on the go for gnomevember which contains some sculpts by various prestigious names- Martin Long, David Powell, Diego Serrate, Philip Hynes and Alessio Cisbani (plus a few from myself). These chaps have long been simmering and were due to be released to complement The Woods sourcebook Thunder Under Mount Silence, however I was finally prompted to get them sorted by some beautiful artwork from Mike Wolmarans (Tenerbae Studio) and Christian Schwager. Here 'tis:



Stunning, no? This is for a new The Woods book, of which more later. But for now here are the models as they popped out:

The Fourth Annual Oldhammer Forum Golden Gobbos Painting Competition 2018

We've had a great load of entries in the Golden Gobbos this year, so here they are in all their glory (and no particular order).

Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer
 
 
My name is Zragg, the undefeated,
The evil gods chose me to bring despair and destruction to the world!
Fear the holy handgrenade of Hashut, the Father of Darkness!





Terminator Captain
 



 
 
 

Dwarf Warrior
 


 

Skeleton Warrior
 
Godfreig wrestled with the burning fire inside his head trying to recall where he was. The last he recalled was marching resolutely with his fellow farm hands under the stewardship of his Baron, towards what seemed to be an endless tide of savage green maws and glinting axes. His mind continued to slide back to the darkness pulling at his soul, the constant nagging to walk ever onwards as if drawn by some unnatural well. He stumbled on. Rounding the small copse, the burning inside his skull became stronger as he began to vaguely register other shambling figures resembling folk he dimly recalled. Turning back to where he was heading he caught sight of a wizened man hunched in discoloured robes, clutching a glowing staff of ebony coloured wood. As he fell into line with the growing throng his mind slipped away, replaced with the lobotomised command of a darker power.
Lutheran Darkshade gripped the glowing talisman in his right hand and smiled as the legion of undead assembled before him. 

 

Centaur
 


 

Dark Elf Swordsman Captain
 



Dark Elf Crossbow Captain


 
Ogre
 
 


 

Reaver Titan (yes, it counts... single, 28mm scale figure!)
 




 

Mercenary Captain
 
 
'...Across the Border Princes men tell a tale: of a child raised in the slave pits of the corrupted Chaos Dwarfs. Forced to fight for survival for the cruel pleasures of his masters; the child was raised in blood and slaughter. In time the boy became a man, the man became a champion. His masters paraded him like a prize pony, adorned in the armour and helm of an ancient hero…
…The tale tells how he broke his chains, cast off his collar; turned on his masters and cut them down in an orgy of vengeance and fury, escaping the dark heat of the pits ahead a blood-crazed mob of freed slaves hell-bent on the destruction of their former masters…’



 

Goblin King
(bit of a cheat, it is meant to be one model, but it's so glorious I don't care. ;) )
