Warhammer Quest Blackstone Fortress RPG Painted Miniatures

Presenting my recent project: the miniatures of Warhammer Quest Blackstone Fortress! 
With all the support behind this game I was very excited to paint up this demo copy for a local game store.  There are 44 models in the set and the game looks fantastic.  While being in the 40k universe it is a cooperative role playing style board game.  Check out the video from the midst of assembling the models:


The models were fun and easy to build with some requiring a hard squeeze to get fully flush.  After priming and a bit of airbrushing this is what they looked like:

Painting an Imperial Knight for Warhammer 40k

Image
I recently took on the task of completely redoing this Imperial Knight. It came to me well painted in a very traditional blue and gold color scheme but when he broke, I figured it was time for an overhaul.  So I popped it apart and in the Simple Green it went.  The knight was previously a Knight Paladin with double battle cannon and reaper chain sword.  A Knight Gallant seems to be more of what I will use on the table top so I built up the power gauntlet.  Also to keep him cheap but swappable, I magnetized the heavy stubber on.    After a few rounds of stripping off the old paint, the knight was ready to be primed.  I started with airbrushing the entire thing in black primer.  The under detail/ mechanical bits were airbrushed with grey, silver and nuln oil.  I later did edge highlighting and brushed on more nuln oil.  For the armor, I airbrushed target raised areas with elysian green and then the same but mixed with yello...

Star Wars Legion Painted Imperial Miniatures featuring Darth Vader, Storm Troopers and Speeder Bikes

Image
The force is strong with this one!   This week I fell even more in love with Star Wars Legion from fantasy flight games as my commissioned project was the Imperial models from the core set.  The set included 14 storm troopers, 2 bikes and Vader.  As expected from fantasy flight, the models for Legion are stellar hard plastic and a blast to assemble and paint. My technique for the troopers: airbrush white, nun oil wash, airbrush white and add details.  Simple, effective and fun. For the basing I applied the following: a sand layer, watered down brown, dry brush of baneblade brown, dry brush of ivory, agrax earth shade wash, and patches of scorched earth.   Since this is to be featured in a miniatures event in a few weeks at a friendly local gaming store, I went ahead and did some simple airbrushing on the barricades, templates and range ruler. Of course Vader and the speeder bikes needed some attention too.  T...

Warhammer 40k Basing: Imperial Knight

Image
After airbrushing, repainting and reassembling the knight, I decided the base should kind of match the rest of my recent Imperial forces: the Catachans. The feet were glued to a custom resin base with a lava flow texture.  Testors putty was used under some of the "toes" to make it more stable and flat to the surface.   The next step was to add texture to the dirt areas.  A layer of sand was glued down and it was left to dry completely. Then it was ready to be base coated.  All of the surface was painted black.  Watered down Mournfang brown was added to the dirt and some grey layering added to the water area. More detail was added by dry-brushing tan and bone on the dirt and also layering blues and grey onto the water. I shaded the dirt with agrax earth shade.  The water was shaded with Drakenhof Nightshade.  While the washes were drying, I cleaned up the rim of the base with black. The next step was gluing grass flock a...
