4th prophecy

Hellow everybody.

It's that time of the week again. I have been painting lots of minis this week, my apartment really won't get done at this rate. But next week we have some vacation time.
The first mini I painted was the limited druid wilder for my starting orboros army.

I also finished my warp wolf stalker. The old metal model. 

 I finally got around painting my limited addition Ashlynn D'Elyse. A much nicer model than the original sculpt but I'm a bit afraid to transport her.  

My Eiryss, angel of Retribution, found some paint as well.

And the last model I painted this week is also the best I have done in some time. I really tried to paint a good   non metallic metal and I must say I am really happy with the results. The brown/yellow armor really looks great on the model. Next time do I think I need to use a little more different colors on a model, now it looks a little bit plain. 

 


Also started building on my tree village for the WTC. first tree done, a lot more to go.

3th prophecy

Greetings,


Let me talk to you about what I've been building over the previous week.

I'm still working on ideas for the Thornwood table I talked earlier about. A friend of mine lend me his hot wire cutter and I played around with it a little. Here is the first result, a big shifting stone. I am pretty happy with the result, with some paint it should look pretty good.


Also I had some commissioned Malifaux stuff to paint. The Union Miners are some awesome models and really fun to paint.
I also painted Gudrun the Wanderer, a model I'e had lying around for a long time and finally got around to paint it.  Took way to long, but I'm pretty happy with the result. Especially with the non metallics on the weapon.

For the last couple of weeks I've been working on my new mercenary chapter. Painted my commandant Irusk. I am really a fan of the swordknight models and with some easy conversions you can come up with some really nice models.
I also worked on my gun carriage conversion and my uhlan knight models.

2nd prophecy

Hello again, it's time for your weekly prophecy.

First I would like to tell you about my painting being featured  on Teku's blog 



This week I have once again worked on some table ideas for the WTC tables.

I've worked on the thornwood table. This probably will be the table I'll be building first.

I have made some sketches of how  I would like the table to look like and made a test tree. While there is still a lot of work that needs to be done, I'm pretty happy with my first tryouts.

The second idea I was working on this week, was that of a table of the 'temple of Menoth' under construction. You would play along the unfinished pillars and building cranes. Giant blocks of stone hindering movement and line of sight.

I also finished painting a commissioned Malifaux crew. I painted a Death Justice crew with some extra guild autopsies. Pretty glad on how they turned out.

Our club  is starting an Iron kingdoms role-play  We will play members of an mercenaries chapter called The Raging Wolves. In a series of mad ideas I started building the chapter. I will base the list around Khadors Irusk with some jacks, pikemen and widow makers. But I will be using converted Cygnar models to represent them.

Here you have my first couple of mini's for the chapter.


Irusk (or High General Lord of the Raging Wolves Vincent Piquer)












Spriggan








First painted Pikemen.

W.I.P.


I thought I might share a little work in progress on my Errant Exemplar Seneschal & my Knight Exemplar Seneschal.

As they're an attachement to units, but are more important, I wanted to make them stand out.
Hope you like what I'm doing with them.

Feel free to comment what you think.

Introduction by Teku



Aloha folks!
My nickname is Teku, Tony for the guys  from Replay (my game club)  or Getiktei for the people from World of Warcraft.
If been blogging for a big year on Death from Above and now I’m starting a blog with 2 old friends.
The prophet got me into the hobby and Pääsiäismuna has joined us lately with Warmachine.


I’m more a Warhammer 40.000 player.
My first army Black Templars are gathering dust and are awaiting a new codex!
My very first tournament was with these guys. Then I switched to Blood Angels and now I’m playing with Chaos Space Marines!

I've been playing a year and a half with 5th edition. Been going to tournaments for a year. So I'm still a greeny. Now we are in 6th Edition of 40k. The meta game (the playstyle for tournaments) hasn't settled yet so the army-list is going to change a lot sometimes. I’m also getting into Infinity and Malifaux.

I’m in the board of a new Gaming club in Kortrijk. You can find us on our Facebook page: Replay

Some examples from my paintings and my army:

Dante - Blood Angels
Death Company - Blood Angels
Assault Sqaud - Blood Angels
Black Templar Red squad - Black Templars
Blood Angels Rhino Park
Honour Guard- Blood Angels
Sword Brethren - Black Templars
Wodan Grimnar - Space Wolves

Blood Angels on Display Board

First prophecy

Hello World,

Welcome to my first attempt to make a blog!
You may remember me from:

But I'm not here to talk about my old work.

Recently, I have been asked to help with the building of the final tables for the WTC (World Team Championship)  Warmachine here in Belgium. So we started sketching for ideas.


First idea is a dwarven arena.
Dwarves like to fight out there feuds in big arenas

The idea is that you have a central arena with walls full of battle damage, and then have a nice space where the audience can enjoy the fight. Terrain on the table would be some pillars and huge jack scrap piles.






The next idea would be a Cryx landing. One side of the table would be a beach with Cryx ships on it. The other side would be a fishing village that has been raided.









My last idea, at the moment, would be a brewery. On one side there would be a mountain range with a big water wheel. Across the battle field there would run a water canal elevated in the air, which would lead to the brewery itself.


I'm also thinking about a Thornwood forest table, Big trees with some thrall houses in them.

Do let me know which idea you like the best. If you have any other ideas they're always welcome.

Me and some other friends will have a scenery build-off. A friendly rivalry between scenery builders. My friend Tomas will be building a Cryx manifectorium and Jelle will build a cathedral!

Hope to share my progress with you soon.
