LXI - Tutorial: Skeletons and bones

Hi readers!
It's been a while since I posted something, however here we go, with a new post, a tutorial about Skeletons and bones.

As you know, my gory attitude is quite strong, so generally I paint skulls and bones ( the most common gadgets in WH40K and AoS) simply with some white and covered them with blood, like fresh fruits peeled off (uhm, quite grim also for my standard).

LIX - The Cult of The Hidden Knives: the Hidden Knife

No one in The Cult of the Hidden Knife could be named the Hidden Knife: only the top of the hierarchy -or supposed top, if there is one- can have the honour to be named in a such way.

It is not clear if the Hidden Knife is powerful as said, but he seems to be the hidden blade that all the other assassins know that is going to stab them, if they are not loyal to each of his orders. To threat such strong throats cutters, you ought be poweful, or there should be laws written or not that bound the assassins to its willing.

LV - Showcase: Stormcast eternals army 3/3

The thunders roared, the night were enlighted by holy bolts whom touched the ground with a precise pattern. Garaz'nath stopped for few seconds its arrogant walking: also for a ruthless and experienced warrior like him, the sight of those dark masks in the lights of the storm could leave him a bit more careful about his life.


Hi !
Here we go, the Stormcast Eternals army in its full matt shiny finish!
Here you can find the showcase of the single units and the turorial.

LIV - Showcase: Stormcast eternals army 2/3

Hi readers!!
I'm alive, do not worry about! Life out hobby issues (that are going to continue), and a small lack of willing in painting make me to spent a lot of time to paint this army, that is not so bad to paint, but the results arrive only now.
However, here the last guys, the big bros, the flying bros and the chief bro.

LIII - Showcase: Stormcast eternals army 1/3

Hi readers!
Sorry for the lack of post but in these last weeks I was in a downward spiral of the hobby wave, so I painted very few things and I had nothing to show you. I started fast the Stormcast Eternals army project painting the two units of Liberators in a week or two and doing the tutorial, then I begun the guy with the standard -well you already know I cannot learn the names, please be patient- and I finished it some days ago. My idea was to show all the army but with this rithm maybe next year I'll be ready lol.

LII - Tutorial: (not the usual) Golden Stormcast

Hi readers!
I am painting a quite big group of Stormcast Eternals, the starter pack army to be precise.
They are not the first stormcast to suffer my attention -the old one were painted in grey and black-, but this time I decided not to invent a painting scheme, but to try do twist the golden classical one to my ideas.

LI - The Cult of Hidden Knives: The Slender Threadbare

Everything was prepared for the dark ritual. Long black candles filled the air with their disgustingly sweet scent, unholy flutes and drums spreaded their hypnotic and unnatural melodies and, all around, cultists danced drooling, completely sick in the lights of the flames.

L- The Cult of Hidden Knives: Black Blades

And then I saw him: I could really not say if he is a living being or some kind of energy with the shape of a light agile emotionless warrior. One of his obsidian blades enterend between the two plates of the armour that protect the shoulder and the neck only for a pair of seconds: the hit was so light that the bulky warrior, was not sure that he was wounded, but he realized soon that the blade was covered of poison.



The arm near of the the small cut bended backward and, due the contractions of the muscles, the neck snapped.
Meanwhile, the dark assassin was disappeared in the woods, leaving the sort of the battle doomed, having killed one of the generals.
I barely survived to that battle, and I am not convinced to have seen his emotionless metal face in the moonlight.

XLIX - Showcase: Nurgle Blightkings

"Rotting alive beings, suffering foes, unstoppable disease, noisy flies and crawling maggots: we need only few things to feel complete".

Hi readers!
This week I've finished the Blightkings, my last (but one?) unit of Nurgle, result achieved!
Now there is only an army of Stormcast, an army of Khorne, and some spare project to do, easy and fast (joking of course).

XLVIII - Tutorial: Nurgle Humans

Hi!
I am painting the blightkings so I've thought that it could be interesting to discuss with you, dear readers, how I paint them and Nurgle humans in general.
This is going to be the same painting scheme of the Glottkin two small bros, and the riders of the Maggoth Lords.

As always it is not the best way to paint them, but simply my way, hoping to be helpful. I think you can bend this to all the Nurgle humans, also for 40k. I wanted a really dirty and rusty result, so this painting scheme is going to make your miniatures a clot of dirty and rust.

XLV - Showcase The Glottkin, Monster March: IV week

"All around, only silence. Also the big flies, generally noisy and enterprising, were silent. Somewhere hoarse laments cut the silence like rusty knives on a bone.
In that moment, he smiles, when he knows that they are sharing the magnificent gifts of their generous Father. Which God gives you his favourite things without you have to ask them?"


Hi all!
Well the Glottkin are finished, and I am very happy: the model is big, very big, with tons of details, and a lot of character, and try to make it disgusting, sick but menacing has been a nice challenge.
Before to continue, I have to thanks SwordMaster of Path of an Outcast, the manager of this amazing event: thanks a lot, seing so much monsters together is very cool, the only thing is missing is a pic with all of them together (but clearly it is impossible lol).

I was playing with phone filters, and I have thought that this one where quite nice! Look the pink fire!  Quite fun that the opposite of the painting scheme I used is near to the opposite chaos god to Nurgle.Well,  after that, the real pics.

XLIV - wip The Glottkin, Monster March, III week

Hi you all!
Third week of Monster March! The goal is near and I have only to stretch my hand to catch it!
As always, a recap of all the steps:
 -first week: assembling, priming, brainless painting (preparations for the real painting); 
- second week: largest parts and all the part with their base colours at least; 
- third week: details and finish;
 - fourth week: everything it is missing.

XLIII - Wip: The Glottkin, Monster March, II week

Hi!

Second week of Monster March! I should be at half of the total work, but I think that I have done less than it. Well let's see the job. This monster is the last of the Nurgle Wave that touches my table in december. You can easily see all the Nurgle things searching on this blog.

I have a pair of new project to do, but I am going out the path. The Glottkin now.

XLII - WIP: The Glottkin, Monster March, I week

Hi!
Today a post about my first week of the Monster March, the week about assembling and so on.

Unluckily my the Glottkin were already assembled and primed before the knowing of MM, being them the last wave of the small sea of Nurgle that hit my desk, furthermore I ought to start before the official beginning due work issues: I really wanted to partecipate to this event, and the kind Swordmaster allows me to partecipate despite my not phased painting. The pics are going to be updated in sync with the official calendar, but the work is slightly ahead when you are reading a certain wip. Sorry!

XXXVIII - Showcase: Plague Lords Magnetized

Whoaa the Plague Lords are finished!!!
I really had fun in painting this model, more than daemons, because it has all the good features that daemons have, like great quantity of flesh, horns, spikes, bubbles, teeths, fangs, trophy heads and guts, but also it has a "human" part, with different skin, armours, weapons and so on.

XXXVI- wip: Nurgle Mortals, Maggoth Lords and (a bit of) the Glottkin

Hi readers!
This is the wip post, a kind of small journal written in more than one day, about the last two big units I have of Nurgle, the Maggoth Lords and the Glottkin. Let's end with some big boys!
Furthermore a lot of nice colours and things are arrived, and I am more excided when new colours arrive than when I have mount of miniatures.

XXXIV - Showcase: Nurgle Daemons Army Shoot!

Come to daddy my small maggots, lurking in the cold blood, drinking pus, rotting every breath, come to daddy following the toll of rusty bells, if your eyes are melted, or veiled by cataracts.

XXXIII - Showcase: Nurgle Drones

Hi!
In these days I've painted the three Nurgle Drones, the last chapter of the daemons part of the Nurgle wave that hits my hobby desk in December. I've not done a wip simply because I did not find a meaning for it, the drones were "almost painted" for a while, so I've thought "why do a wip, they are almost finished" and so on. Well now they are really finished, and, I am happy to say that the daemonic part of the nurgle miniature I got is ended.

XXXII - Showcase: Plaguebearers and Chaos Spawns

[O]utside the ordered universe [is] that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes. H. P. Lovecraft, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath (from Wikipedia)
 

XXXI - Tutorial: Nurgle daemons

Hi!
As you are seeing, I am working on a big (for my standard) group of Nurgle miniatures, daemons and "humans". Probably this is going to be Nurgluary, or something similar (probably Plaguary... well I am not so good in these things!).


However, once I made a tutorial about Nurgle daemons but it is floating somewhere in the Warp, so I decided to do another time it, with some variations: that post was one of the most read on the old blog, and painting Nurgle is damn fun, so here we go.

N.B.
I have removed the downloadable tutorial, they did not convinced me at all and, frankly, quite useless imho. I left the grid with image, and the step by step are going to be in a classical way. Hope you enjoy it.
