Ogre kingdom Tyrant

  It was one of the most difficult work for me. I do not know why. Maybe just because it's big. And all my painted NMM looked strange and unnatural.So I had to paint it in metallics. I haven't a lot of experience in TMM. So I'm so grateful for my mentor's advices - Landreth. We are working now in a "gym" - where I study and learn a lot from me teacher. Thank you, Artem. 
And now I think that the second ogre would be easier to paint :).

Dwarf King Alrik and Shieldbearers

   I've done this guys for the game, so I did not use any difficult techniques. And two coats of vanish - to grab them by hands :).
   The were a lot of problem with assembling this pyramid - it  should stand on two separate small bases! Actually, I was in agony to set them straight, because I didn't think about it before painting! And one more - it was hard to set on the king on the shield because of these patterns. In result his foots don't stand tight and you can see a gap below. But for detail - it's a great miniatures. Especially I was pleased with the hair.
    So, the king:

 

 

 

 And with corrected bases:

 

Griffin Thallions. Confrontation

 It was a real pleasure to work on this unit. I used a  Thor's guide about the cracked leather again an now I like the result. To my mind it looks very well on large surfaces.
 The first:

 

 

The second:

 

 

 

A big pic of the coat:

And the guys together (but before plantind a moss on the bases):

Tomb Kings Liche Priest

I've finished it today and I can say that I satisfied with the result.

    Last weekend there was an exhibition/contest of military and historical modelism in Moscow - Live eDISHion 2012. All information about our participation in this event you can find on our blog pages.

At the end of the road. WIP

This is my next big progect for painting gym on Warforge forum. I and Dmitry decided to paint Ork-biker. And in first of all I've decided to make a base. This pic inpired me for my variant:

And what is turned out:

 

 

 

Of course I added some funny characters:

 

 

 So If anyone has some ideas or comments for this work - I'll glad to listen all.

Spam from my "workshop"

I remeber a time when I couldn't start new work without finishing current one. Now it's a chaos. I have about dozen minis(including projects) in work in the same time. So I have not any free time (when one work is drying, for example).

That is what going on my workspace and I know that I will start a pair of new minis this week:

And this is my permanent and old fans: beauty Alexiz and  Worm-Barbariska:

 

Borgut Facebeater

  This is my first WH FB Orc. To my mind there is no difference with WH 40K Orks except guns. 

  I've decided to use "Dmitry's style" here :). He didn't publish his last minis on coolmini but he has a loot of really good works. I tried to repeat his Оrk in my interpretation. He called this technique "speed painting" but I spend a lot of time for it. Before I wanted to use such kind of metal for my Tau Crisises and Broadsides (five of them are waiting my hands) and now I think about how much time I will do it! :)  But eyes are fearing and hans are doing. Now I have an expirience, may be Dmitry will give me some comments, advises and ... secrets (of course, I'll ask hin about it :)). And I can do it!

 So here is my funny yellow orc:

 

 

 

 

A basing is SIMPLE! (by Ookami)

Alahan Standard-Bearer. Confrontation.

   For a long time I was looking for a color scheme for this flag bearer. Frankly speaking, if I "don't see" a miniature in my head, selecting a color scheme takes me a lot of time. This is one of the most difficult step for me because it affects on the future presentable of all work. 

   After some trials-errors I get satisfied with light blue-gray scheme with purple and orange accents.  Hope you'll like it too.
