Grey Wizard plus more..

Alright, so I uploaded the Grey Wizard up to deviantart before putting up pics here......was in a hurry and just forgot. So here he is:

Overall, the smoke/mist/fog effect turned out better then I had expected. Not sure if I'll convert wizards from the other four lores, but I will do a Celestial Wizard lord on a Pegasus, mostly because I just want too.

Speaking of conversions, I've been doing some extensive research on female Tau, mostly on what their bodies and faces look like. The reason is that I'm converting one for my Inquisitor Warband. This is a serious piece, so nothing like the so-called fan service based blue chicks. Given the lack of description and only two picks, I will  assume the 'Y' feature on the face of Commander Shadowsun is reflective of all Female Tau. Some may say the dissection picture of a female Ethereal has a different face, but it was pointed out that the Ethereal caste have a different facial structure, so I'm sticking with Shadowsun's look. As for the chest, there is much debate so instead I'll just use Tau armour with some conversions to look more for the Inquisitor group.

Shadowsun costs $61, a bit pricy for just a head. However I did find a guide on converting a female Tau head from the plastic Daemonette heads, so this does look like a much cheaper option.

Also, looking forward to Supanova this weekend, so hoping that this years Gold Coast one will be better then last years (very cramped it was).

Late Because...

Things have been hecktic and didn't get time to upload the Grey Wizard before I had to go off. That said, I should have it uploaded some time today.

Did see Ross Noble live at the Gold Coast Arts Centre. He was brilliant, laugh so hard that I had an Asthma attack. Had to hide that fact as it would have been embarrassing ending such a good night in the back of an ambulance. Ross is a comedy genius and if he ever tours your area, go and see him.

Quick up-date thingy

Try to keep it short as I try to rush through another game I'm trying to finish from the Hall of Shame (games you own but never finished).

Grey Wizard - Just needs an edge highlight on front robe and he's done. Will probably upload photos of him today.

Warband - Unhappy with how the current painted models look, but since they're givin me the shits, just going to finish up the two that are just about done and then start on the others.

Inquisitor - Don't think the green stuff has blended in to well, but am going to go ahead and paint him anyway.

Also started on another model to add to that Empire Challenge, a Helstorm Rocket Battery (Pistoliers will have to wait until I get the focus to use green stuff again).

Jade Wizard

Almost done, but I forgot to do the base and fix the face before I took the photos...oops. Worse, I haven't got a name for him yet (or if I do, then I can't find where I wrote it down). Still, this is what I have.

Overall, I am happy with the way this model has turned out. The owl is based on a picture of a long-eared owl I found on the net.

I admit the colour dots aren't the best, but I just couldn't get the thickness right. Then there's the base.

The base is dirt and rock, with grass patches. The difference with this base compared to the other Empire ones is the small stream. I did plan to use salt for the rushing/bubbling part, but unfortunately I had none but did have some Bi-Carb Soda..........Ah Bi-Carb, is there nothing you can't do.

As for the Grey Wizard? Well, with the smoke/mist/fog/whatever given a base coat of grey, it needs to be given a few lighter layers where as the main focus of the wizard will be his staff and sword.

Wizardly Push

Arrrgghh......so close.

So the Jade Wizard is just about completed and I'm getting close with the Grey Wizard too. I've been holding off on uploading pics until the Jade is completed, which (hopefully) will be tomorrow. Not happy with the Crusaders paint job, but given I've lost interest in it, that too should be finished soon. Perhaps with the Wizards finished I will return my focus on the Warband.

Sudden Thought

A thought has occurred......

Is it possible to save the world through cute cat pictures?

Dust to Steam

Dust: An Elysium Tail is coming to Steam. Can't wait (Did I mention I love this game?).
