Turelio's Hobby Log, Now no longer just for greenskins...

Oops! Keep meaning to update when i finish army stuff, and then forgetting. So to bring the blog up to date:

The front rank of the goblins has been added as they grow a bit more.



And for the Ogres, a few Gnoblars are on the table at the moment (since January actually ) and are almost done:



And, a close up of one of the terrible lads:



Not to interested in close up quality, so there are a few small mistakes, but i do like the group effect. They'll have snow bases when finished, but i want the snow shapes to match up across the bases, so i have to figure out how many i own to go in a unit, and then how they rank up first

Anyway, C&C welcome.

Cool looking models Turelio, I really like the red cloaks on the night goblins.

Finished the Gnoblars!

Nice looking Gnoblars, what is next on your painting table?

Congrats on finishing the gnoblars. Did I read you started them in January? Well worth the wait. 'em.

Yep, i had them cleaned and assembled in January, but i kept messing them up, so had to strip them, repait bits etc. Next on the paint table are some Tyranid spore mines, and a goblin boss i am converting. I'll have pics in the next few days.

Hi Turelio,

Some nice work on the night goblins and gnoblars mate. I really like the goblin weapons awesome job mate.

Cheers

Well, i have a couple of projects in mind at the moment, but there is a conversion contest coming up at my local GW for christmas, and i have had a conversion in mind for a while now, and thought this was a good time to do it. The sculpting and conversion is finished, now i just have to paint him. However, here are a few shots of the non-undercoated model so you can see what has been done. The whole plan is to get my old metal wolf rider model, and put him on a big wolf. A bigger wolf. Alright, i used a metal Chaos Warhound...





And a few shots of the dragonhide saddle:





Fluffwise, he's probably going to have the brimstone bauble, represented in this case by a piece of dragonhide that he's stolen from somewhere and using as a saddle because it's still warm, and therefore keeps his backside warm in battle . Althought the hides still a bit volatile, so who knows what happens if he goes into his death throes sitting on it.

Nice looking conversion, I really like those old skool wolfriders. Keep up the awesome work.

Cheers,
G

Still plodding along with this wolf. I took some advice and filled the holes around the feet so i can't paint the wolf and base separately like i would have hoped for, but it has a far better effect now the wolf isn't floating about the rock:



And some shots of the wolf being painted so far:





I tried a few cuts on him, and also a glowing eye effect, although i think that worked better on the right side than the left side.

I'm also testing out some poses for a Lictor that will be painted next:

I'm ing the wolf. What colors did you use for the skin, and how did you do the eyes? I'll be painting some ungors soon and your wolf skin/fur color scheme is what I had in mind for them.

The wolf looks nice turelio:)

Cheers,
G

Fur:
Scorched Brown -> Bestial Brown -> Bestial Brown + Dwarf Flesh (1:1) -> Dwarf Flesh -> Dwarf Flesh + Bleached Bone (1:1)
The last two stages are very light and are usually picking out individual hairs

Flesh:
Tallarn Flesh + Calthan Brown (1:1) -> Wash with Scorched Brown + Chaos Black (1:1) -> Tallarn Flesh + Calthan Brown (1:1) -> Tallarn Flesh -> Tallarn Flesh + Bleached Bone (1:1) -> Bleached Bone -> Bleached Bone + Skull White (1:1)
Last stage is only on the underlines for scratches.
Recesses are then glazes with Scab Red and Liche Purple.

Eyes (Not too sure on these, but i'll try):
Mechrite Red -> Blood Red -> Blood Red + Light Flesh (Vallejo Model Colour 1:1) -> Light Flesh dot
Glazed around the eyes with Scab Red then a mix of Scab Red and Blood Red (1:1)

Wow, I really like how the wolf is coming. Also... that Lictor pose is pretty cool. Lictors are notoriously hard to work with being such a static model and all, but you really have a nice sense of action and a neat flow to the model.

-Myst

That wolfrider hero is really cute! Great idea and use of models...
