Elves, Creeps and Cities

A few new things are done or at least done-ish.  I've been agonizing over how I wanted my elf army to look and finally came up with something suitably elfy:

I still need some more elves finished before there are enough to meet at least minimum model count but it's nice to have the formula down. Yes my madness does force me to paint something pink at least once a year...

Next up I needed some genestealers to steal some genes during the Sodak Con space hulk game.  Of course I just had to do an aliens rip off not only because I can but because its super fast:
 

Finally (and with much more effort) our infinity group needed a map to campaign on.  apparently they've gotten jealous of the Kings of War one so two butchered monopoly sets, 1 butchered catan, expansion and seafarers set, tiles from the original mighty empires by GW (yes all the city blocks are those tiles which are VERY out of print) and I now have only my second most expensive campaign map...   Yes I need help!

Still despite my descent into madness I like the finished result.

Spoils of War

Since I have a decent amount of projects on the table right now that are half finished I thought I might as well show off a few older projects.  Since these are older pics please excuse the even worse camera work than normal.

For a while I was providing prize support for local tournaments in the form of free painting services.  These random assortment of models are a result of just such a crazy idea.

First off the always fun looking mangler squig with a few mushrooms to top him off!

This was oddly enough my first tyranid model ever which was a fun new experience.

A few of the skaven from the fantasy starter set.

Yes the same player got another model as a prize but I just knew it needed some glowing pink lights!

speaking of pink here's a guardsman named bob, no relation.

And finally a night lord chaos marine.

It was certainly fun each month to have some kind of random model to paint out of the blue.  Never hurts to keep things random and interesting that's for sure.

I help with prize support by providing painting of a single model for 40k/fantasy tournament winners in my town.  This month was a doubles 40k tourney which resulted in a tie for the prize so here are the first two models.

Believe it or not this is a requested paint scheme.  I can't help but feel responsible though as it was enjoyable...  This unfortunate guardsman is named Bob by his owner, no relation.

Sometimes no matter how hard I try I just can't help but add a little glow to a model.  I'm seeing a therapist for it but I don't think its helping any.
