Yeah, I second graven's sentiments. You really knocked it out of the park on those faces.

Those orcs are fantastic, definitely nailed the faces!

Great job on the Orcs - they're very scary!

The leather on the two Defenders of Helm's Deep looks really great.

Thanks, Graven!

Thanks, mate, FW resin models may be spendy, but their casting has really improved imo, the LOTR models I have got recently have all been flawless.

Thanks, chaps, always nice to have people pop in and have a look at my daubs

Today, we have a bit more LOTR.

Burárum - It's Treebeard! The old metal model rather than the new plastic one...

Crackin work on treebeard he looks awesome, as do Merry & Pippin on his shoulders. Love how his feet/roots merge in to the ground too,

Thanks! The wee hobbits themselves were actually painted ages ago, I did them at the same time as all the other versions of M & P

Here's a 30k Alpha Legion Praetor:



Not that happy with the green bits, and should maybe have used a different colour than red for the cloak as it's a bit similar to the base colour. Ah well

A bit more progress on the Warhound titan.

Got the legs finished and glued to the pelvis, so it's much more stable now. Will add some transfers to the empty leg panel at the end.

Wow. Heck of a project. The gold is looking great. Love Treebeard, too!

Nice praetor and the Titan is looking amazing! The gap filling seems to have been a success

Excellent work on Treebeard and the Praetor paint jobs, the effect on the power sword is very cool.

The Titan is looking epic!

Cheers! Still a bit more fine tuning to do on the filling, but it's getting there

Thanks Not got any more titan work done yet, it's a bit daunting, so I might just tackle another little bit like the head next.

Today we have a set of Theodens King of Rohan:

On foot:


Mounted:


Mounted with armour:


The metal infantry model is my favourite, it really actually looks a bit like Bernard Hill

2023's total is now 96, so I should break the 100 mark again, which is good

All great but the basic mounted is my favourite, the face is perfect

Agreed! The white on the horse is very nicely done, as is the scale armour.

I managed to get the Warhound head done over the weekend. Who needs a body or arms when you've got BIG STOMPY FEET?

to be fair I'd be terrified if that charged at me on a battlefield.

Nice triumvirate of Theodan King, gotta agree with the others that the horse is really well done. The big door pattern warhound looks cool too!

Cheers It's very nearly complete now, so will be appearing soon.

Got some 30k AL jetbikes done:



These are mostly 3d printed, except the heads, torsos and shoulder pads.

Ooh. Beautiful fuselages.

Those jet bikes printed out and painted up very nicely! The spray of dirt at the front and on their feet adds a good bit of dynamism!

Those jetbikes are awesome Slinky! Really like that colour shift between the front and back.

They came out well, I was pleased with the prints, though I had to split them in half, the resulting join line wasn't too bad...

Today, I can finally show off the finished Warhound titan!




Somewhat inspired by the Titans that originally fired my imagination in White Dwarf 108, with the Fire Wasps emblem proudly displayed, and "camouflage" of a sort on the carapace

Definitely in a bit of a hobby slump again, got 18 Warg Riders underway but feeling no motivation, may shift to something else...

TTFN

Now that is stunning, really nice finish, the deep red is ace and the gold trim is really well done

Superb. A fantastic monument to the hobby.

Fantastic work on the warhound! A real centre piece for sure! The camo on its back is great and hilarious all at the same time

Thanks, all! There's a small chance that, like a maniac, I have started printing Reaver parts

I managed to get going by splitting up my 18 Warg Riders into smaller chunks - 6 of them are now done!



Not great models, these ones are a mix of various eBay lots with bad gluing, thick paint, mould lines galore etc, but they are done.


2023's score is now a fairly healthy 124

Fantastic work with the titan. The dazzle camouflage looks great.

The warg riders are nice as well, the fur is really well done.

Your warhound looks amazing, nicely done. Something to be proud of for sure. If you happen to be printing a Reaver now, I'm looking forward to seeing that too.

Nice work on the Wargs, but definitely looking forward to some Reaver mania!

Thanks! Got 12 more of the Wargs to go, but struggling to want to somehow...

Ask and you shall receive Sneak peek of part of the Reaver:



I have also 3d-printed and painted a Blood Angels Predator - My younger son has joined the school Warhammer club, and they were in need of a tank, and I was in need of a quick project to get my hobby mojo going!
