Not sold on the base, but the scheme seems solid.

Hmmm Interesting Start…
What are your opinions on this look?
The highlights have washed out a little in the pics.

Forgeworld Blight Drones
I placed a group FW order a while back and they arrived. I can’t wait to build/paint these bad boys!
Thing is, what the hell do I do with them after? I don’t have an army to use them in. lol

Big Hoss Complete! – Forge World Nurgle Daemon Prince
I can’t get around how good this model looks. Nurgle styled painting has been a Everest of mine for years. Finally I know the method to making something look disorderly and orderly at the same time!
All credit goes out to Les Bursley of AwesomePaintJob. I found a video of him painting a Ultraforge Great Plague Demon (now OOP) and it filled in all the gaps in my painting style that was preventing me from painting Nurgle units.
Thank you Les!
I will be sending him a personal thank you via Dakka shortly.
I’m still working on Bubba, but Hoss is done. Painting Achievement Unlocked!

Moar Daemons!
Well my Daemon mojo continues. Here are some new additions.
First up is the sorcerer I painted using one of the new Storm of Chaos sorcerers. I like the results, but I feel more could have been done with their armor. I may pick up 2 more for further attempts.
Next up, Big Hoss and Bubba. I placed a Forgeworld order with some friends a little over a week ago and they arrived yesterday. Nurgle has always been difficult to paint for me because it requires a messy style to look good and that is the polar opposite of how I learned to paint. I try to paint neatly and stay within the lines; those rules don’t apply to Nurgle units so I’ve always avoided them. But no more! I will get this fat bastard done and he will look horribly awesome!
I’m also working on a template model for my Seekers. I’ve finished the mount but not the rider. I’ll post her when it’s up to snuff.

40K Daemons
~I had to recover my blog last night after an update killed my theme. So this is a repost.~
Well, it’s been a while and I’m back into painting. I kind of burned through that plethora of hobby mojo with my Tomb Kings army and knocked out a good 2200pts. I still have a great deal to do with that army but WHF isn’t doing anything for me at them moment.
To alleviate my boredom I’ve gone back to my old faithful army: Daemons (40K this time). I have been a fantasy buff for so long and found 40k boring but I have to say that Fantasy has gotten somewhat crazy at the moment and the game is not challenging anymore.
So I’ve been painting/playing Daemons lately for 40k and it’s been great. Here are few models that I’ve completed recently.
Here are two heralds I did using my my disk design. I was really happy on how they came out. I mounted them on my resin bases as well. Sadly the heralds I got for these two heralds came from the Blue Scribes conversion I made last year. I found the conversion broken in the case it had been resting in for months. The original herald I built for this project has been completed as well but I need to replenish my resin supplies so I can make more bases.
Here’s one of those new sorcerers from the Storm of Chaos WHF event. It makes for a damn good looking herald! I’m about to start on the second SoM Chaos Sorcerer to add him in as a herald. Can’t wait to get started on him.
Finally, here’s a Pink Horror I did as a mockup. Painting it was really easy so after I fine tune my process a little I think I’ll crank out a tutorial for painting them.
That’s all I have for right now. More to come as I progress.
