Warhammer fantasy enthusiast, mainly conversions. There's a place in my heart for middlehammer, non-grim 2nd-ed style 40k.

Secondary enthusiasms: films, jokes, fiction, bowie-tainted rock, Cymru, the end of the world
Compared with my Mollog conversion I'm much happier with Trugg (also too long in the green stuff stage).

I was dubious, and then a couple of drybrushes later I think he's promising.

Still v WIP too, planning some foliage on the body in keeping w the fluff (and to hide my mistakes!)

I don't hate how this WIP paint job of my Mollog conversion is going, but there's a long way to go.

The upper body's too shiny (didn't shake my Xpress paints enough!) highlights are sloppy, lots of details to touch up and a base to finish!

But I spent too long on the greenstuff stage to stop now

Spellweaver on Unicorn for my Wood El army 🧚 🦄 💀

This model has been in the works for ages now and I’m really happy with how it turned out. The base sculpt is amazing and paints up so easily. It’s also pretty huge, which is awesome.

Any advice?
I started with a purple speed paint, changed my mind and went for this dark turquoise/cream combo, but I worry he looks like the joker in a suit.
Lighter green highlights on the skin? Glazes on the belly/face/arms? Some mottling/freckles to break up the stark break in colour?

I think the problem with the Naked Gun remake is Liam Neeson keeps pulling faces in the trailer, mainly angry ones.

Leslie Nielsen, at least in my memory of the films and series Police Squad, looked gloriously unshaken regardless of what was happening, which made everything funnier.

At a glacial pace my Mollog the Mighty conversion (into a full sized Dankhold) is approaching completion.

It's been fun learning to follow the shapes of muscles with putty, lengthening bits, fattening bits, starting to prime out of boredom then wising up... Mollog the Malicious will be ready soon.

I have played this song about 50 times in the last couple of days. Didn't think much of the film 30 years ago. Now I'm wandering round saying to people "DO YE KNOW THE ELF MAN? DANIEL ELF MAN?? *He worketh miracles!*"

I really want to get a decent amount of these ogors painted to a basic standard. Instead I have spent AGES tonight shaving plastic so I can squash Ork heads into Ogor helmets.

Three cheeky young (irongut themed) gnoblar scamps I painted recently. The bases are cut from milk carton lids as I didn't have any 20mm rounds.

I couldn't call it progress, but I spent some time looking at this WIP conversion, wondering how exactly to add texture to his trollish skin, lumps and bumps... maybe some static grass, twigs, stones, human hair, the contents of my vacuum cleaner...

Saw a skull today, appropriately, strolling through a field.

Another side project. I was repelled by the Orks in the 2nd 40k starter box as a teenager, but nostalgia and love of conversions pulls me back. The metal Orks of that era were often gorgeous too.

To open, a conversion of the handsome Slugdrool, with a Reaper Bones werewolf hand.

He's not quite finished. Maybe he never will be.

I can see myself in old age trying to highlight his earrings, sighing disappointedly.
