Hey, sorry for the long absence! Partly it was due to work, partly to a new computer and partly because I've been really busy in my personal life lately - in good ways mind you...including planning a wedding, taking a vacation, learning some new art techniques and playing warhammer!
Anyway, as concerns the last bit, I brought my camera along just to take some shots of my army and some of the many WIP projects that are going on in lizard-land. Pardon if this post is a little long on pictures and a little short on fluff, but hopefully it will generate some interest and then you good folks can ask some questions and that in turn will spur me to be my usual verbose self!
These are not re-sized, as my re-sizing software apparently does not work with my new Windows OS...(see "new computer" above). I'm hoping that Lustria auto-resizes photos as many lists seem to do these days. If nothing else, maybe you'll be able to see more detail this way.
Without further adeu - this is a "group shot" of my army, about to go into battle against the High Elves:
Here is a view of just the infantry blocks:
If you look closely you can see the Kroxigor in the Skrox unit, still in green putty and uncast because I am in the process of adding scales to the shoulders. I'll post some close-ups of them later, once I am back on top of things. Two other obvious "green-stuff" sculpting projects in the works - my Old Blood on his Horned one, riding behind the Scar Vet, and a third Salamander, which is going to be a completely original piece (possibly cast later for you folks!)
A better look at the Horned One, who still doesn't have his horn...this was started a while ago but I only just got to the point where I am fighting battles large enough to use him, so now I am finally working on the conversion. Still to come, a massive head-dress on the Old Blood. As you can see I haven't finished the baby Steg either, but as he was instrumental in wiping out a big unit of Swordmasters, he's now earned his paint, so expect to see that project moving forward in the next couple months (I'll be away on my honeymoon in July, so don't look for many posts!)
Cold One Cavalry:
I don't think I've ever posted a photo of these guys all painted up and finished before, so I though you might enjoy seeing this. Took forever to get them looking good, each one a conversion with a custom base.
Currently in the process of painting the tiger stripes on each figure in the larger spear Saurus block...and developing carpel tunnel syndrome...but I really liked the result on the smaller Saurus block, so I am committed to sticking with this pattern/color scheme:
Last but not least, a shot of that Salamander a bit more "up close and personal", rearing up to spit a giant gout of flame
So that's what I've been up to! I'd love to hear your comments and feedback. Oh, and btw, I was victorious over the Elves
P.S., I just found out that you can right-click on the images and open them in a new tab (in Chrome anyway) and see them full size! Enjoy!
) I probably won't finish these now until the end of April. Getting my sculpting tools past Homeland Security is not something I want to deal with...I'm likely to have my favorite wax carver confiscated!
