Making Waves

After another fun paint-a-thon I've expanded the Trident Realms army.  These obnoxiously bright color schemes are a real joy to paint!

I'm really loving the Mantic models in this army.  The wyrm riders are a bit of an assembly chore but they really turn out great.

Mantic hit it out of the park with their water elementals and pictures do not do the model justice at all.  The only issue is how heavy they are being entirely metal.   Thought I would sneak a purple dolphin in just for some more crazy colors though.

Thanks to multibasing I had enough to make an extra regiment of water elementals so why not go for it!

And I finally have some heroes on foot to add some back line support.

More Bones!

The Empire of Dust army is really coming together now.  Well past the 2k points mark now and moving fast!

Boney Giants

Thanks to spray paint pre shading these guys painted up in about two hours.  They look a lot better now that they aren't bare metal!

Fire Raptor

Finished up another commission, this time a fire raptor.  This big old gem of a model was a level 3 and ended up having a lot of freehand and just fun stuff all over.  The turrets move (as well as one would expect considering forgeworld resin!) and even the space marines manning them are painted.

The wings have been given wings so as to ensure the imperial brick like thing stays aloft.

Client wanted a clear canopy so as to glimpse the cramped pilot inside.  Seriously that can't be comfortable to fly!

Added some more fun freehand on the underside as well.

The OSL was added near the end as I wanted to give the model a splash of color to accent it.  It's still very unnerving that this whole thing balances on a relatively small base though.

From Oceans to Dusty Desert

I swear it's not Hobby ADD!  But I did  convert and paint up the Restless Souls of Raia from the Edge of the Abyss campaign book.

Just some tomb kings skeletons with a few bits and pieces added.  There a a few cartoon like bombs added in as well!

Torches, gunpowder and brainless skeletons....

I've got Crabs and Kraken...

The kraken is released and now I have crabs...

The gigas horde are the mantic models.  They are a fun cross between crab and lobster I like em!

And reaper has supplied my kraken with this gorgeous model!

The army is starting to come together already at 1300 points so I thought I should take a little group photo for fun

These Tanks Are Fight

Finished up another commission.  This time some dark angel tanks:

First up a Deimos pattern predator.  The turrets for the side sponsons are well designed but the forgeworld resin certainly doesn't do them any favors in the durability department.

Added in some free hand to fill the blank spaces and make it a little more interesting.

The spartan landraider is a real beast of a kit! The side hull and tracks are single pieces on each side!  Weighs a lot as well.  Again worked in some fun freehand to fill spaces.

Gave it some wings on the sides to help with mobility obviously.

Sea Monkeys!

Slowly but surely the trident realms army is coming together!  Got a nice horde of naiads done now:

Going for maximum color on these guys so the army will really stand out on the table!

Ravenwing Bikers are Go!

Recently finished up a Ravenwing Bike Commission.  These were a fun exercise in painting black for sure!

Banners are always fun.  Not really a fan of the fully sculpted banners from GW.  Really restricts your freedom but they work fine.

Yet more bikers!  These were all done to a Lvl 2 standard with Lvl 1 bases.

And finally the group photo!  May you never get speeding tickets...
