(Some More) Bloodbowl at Exhibition Quality

This was an unusual set of Blood Bowl teams.

They’re by Punga Miniatures; as far as I’ve seen Punga make the nicest Blood Bowl teams these days. They all have a bit of humor them. My favorites in this lot were the dancing Slavic-looking dudes.

These were painted to Exhibition quality.

When Custodes Painting Inspires More Custodes Painting

We’ve shown off Oathkeepers scheme Custodes on our blog a few times. The client for this order quite liked what he’d seen of one of them, and asked us to match it.

There were painted to Showcase Quality.

Berserking for Khorne!

A fun World Eater's commission. It was nice to do a big bunch of Khorne Berserkers, Kharn, Angron, and some Eightbound, in one go.

These were painting to Showcase and Exhibition Quality.

Some Blue and Red Tau with Cork Basing

We do Tau Kill Teams every so often, but this was the first fair-sized Tau force we’ve done in a while, at above Standard Quality. I feel the red and the blue came together well.

Basing happened at the end, the client opted for a cork base look with some tufts. Basing on a mini is getting a model to wear a formal suit. Makes all the difference.

Sisters of Battle: A Novitiate Kill Team

It was quite a bit of good fortune landing this Kill Team commission. The client wanted a conversion done with some Stormcast heads. Further, he had an excellent scheme he wanted us to do. Last, he sent us some lovely and unusual temple bases to work with. Painted up, they are nice contrast with the paint jobs.

Some Blue and Camo Astra Militarum

What stood out for me on this Astra Militarum job was that we were not only working with all-new release figures, but also some Victoria Minis substitutes. The client also gave us some nice bases to work with. We played up the red in them to offset the blue in the uniforms.

The new Guard ordnance battery was fun to work with as well. They’ve come a long way!

Ork Goff Rockers on their RokkenRolla!

Lucas Como sent us some Goff Rockers - two of the original metal minis, the 2022 Christmas release, and a 3D print. We painted them up for him at Exhibition Quality. That would have been a wrap, but we learned his birthday was coming up.

We then printed up and painted a stage to go with them as a gift. However, Vasanth then made the mistake of showing me a Mad Max-inspired concert-on-wheels. I then spent the weekend crafting a vehicle chassis for the stage, out of drink bottles, lids, and EVA foam.

We matched the “RokkenRolla” to some terrain we did for Lucas.

Now, I just need my own.

Painting an All-Exhibition, Genestealer Cults Army

This project was particularly fun for two reasons. One was the budget; we could go all out, and no mutant was left behind. The other was the color scheme we were asked to match. It was a very colorful, very inventive look. The orange gives it a vibrance on the table we didn’t expect till we saw it taking form.

Painting Chaos Bosses at Exhibition Quality

Usually, when someone asks us to do a single-figure / set-piece character order, we must decline them. Given our low-cost mission, this sort of painting often needs different skills from ours.

This order was a happy exception. The client was looking for the sort of work we do, and he asked us to do 3 lovely, big, Chaos characters. I couldn’t say no, and here are the results.

Classic Goliaths as Jungle Catachans

It is hard (except for Eschers) to be more ‘80s punk and Heavy Metal than the classic Goliath minis Necromunda launched with. It is just as hard to be more Rambo (except for Rambo) than a Catachan.

Presenting some ‘80s punk, Heavy Metal, Rambos - classic Goliath’s painted as Catachan proxies.

I can’t remember the last time we did classic Goliaths (if ever). As such, it was nice to see them in the studio, and to have the budget to do justice to them.

These were painted to Showcase quality.

Strike Force Agastus - Look at Those GUNS

I have seen much shade being thrown at the Desolation Marines for their large guns. These were the first though that we’ve seen them ‘in the plastic.’

On seeing them, I think they’re fine. My only concern il that the open flap / lid might break, over time.

This is Strike Force Agastus painted, and some Infiltrators.

Painting some Straight Up Space Wolves

Space Wolves feel to me like the comfort food 40k painting. Here we did some no surprises, old school Space Wolves painting. It was mixed force of Firstborn and Primaris, but I wanted to showcase the traditional scheme on the newer minis.

Painting Green Votann, Red Earth

Some nice, green, Votann. We thought reddish basing would be a nice touch to offset the green, so we pitched it to the client. He liked it, and here we are!

This order helped inspire one of our team members to start a Votann force.

Bloodbowl at Exhibition Quality

We got to work on these badass-looking, 3rd party Blood Bowl minis. I love me some goblins, especially Night Goblins. They have charming ridiculousness that plays well to Blood Bowl — the concept of which is ridiculous in and of itself.

A Bit of Necromunda Miniature Painting

Necromunda has come a long way from a few gangs fighting in an undercity. The undercity has become more interesting, an insight, in miniature, to imperial cities. The outside has become a thing. This might seem a departure, but, following inspiration from Mad Max, there had been plans to do an outdoor variant for Necromunda (instead, we got Gorka Morka).

Either way, there is quite a rich and flavorful range to Necromuda now.

Matching a Different Style: Some Unusual (for us) Custodes

We’re happy to match another painter’s color scheme — but very rarely their painting style. This is because painting methods are like languages. I can read a French menu out loud, but if a Frenchman heard me, he’d probably ask me to never do it again….

Everyone’s painting is different. They develop skill in their chosen method. Switching methods won’t give the same results.

So, for this order, I figured “hey! Let’s switch methods. How bad could it be?”

We were sent some minis painted in a fairly different style from how we normally paint. However, the differences seemed incremental, and built on top of the same foundation steps we would have taken. So, in the end, we pulled it off. It was TWICE as much work as we’d bargained on, but we learned another way to paint. That, in itself, is always useful.

There were painted to a level higher than Exhibition, but which costs twice as much.

Painted Some Raven Guard Space Marines for 40k

Some Raven Guard Space Marines we painted up. They also came with a few assassins which was nice!

These were painted to look up Showcase and Exhibition level.

Why Black Templars Should Be Blue

Here are a few Black Templars. These were matched to the official artwork - where it was nice to see the armor had been highlighted into a turquoise.

Right from when we started 17 years ago, I have been annoyed at the use of grey to highlight black. It works; but I find it so boring. I have always pushed for blue tones to highlight black, instead.

I'm not alone in thinking this; in fact, I suspect the idea is ancient. Consider this Hindu temple art:

The reason these characters are painted blue is because that's how ancient artists in the Sub Continent learned to portray characters with dark skin.

The immediate question here is why dark dark-skinned people blue and not just dark brown? Any photographer shooting someone with dark skin can tell you. Dark skin is hard to accurately photograph - though apps and iPhones have pretty much fixed this, these days.

What I suspect is that ancient artists also preferred to work with blues to highlight dark skin - and from there, artistic license just took over.

Increasingly over the years, Games Workshop's artists are making the same decision.

Some Bone-Shelled Tyranids for 40k

This was a small but challenging project. We were asked to match a color scheme created by Den of Imagination. Everything was easy except the detailing on the carapace. That took a few tries to get right. I’m happy with the final effect - and so was the client!

These were painted to Showcase Quality.

Painted Some Eldar

It was nice to paint some Eldar for a change. They feel a bit like a retro army to me, but these have some of the new sculpts. Either way, these were nice to see taking form.
