Wraithlord

It's been awhile. Being an adult sucks. Anywho. Here's a commission I just finished. He wanted a Wraithlord to look like a Dark Eldar archon I painted for him a couple years ago. He also wanted LOTS of guns. I give you the Rambo of Wraithlords.

Hellakin Gorecutter

It's been awhile since I updated. Let me remedy that with an older figure, the halfling thief Hellakin Gorecutter (kinda silly name, really). This was one of my early experiments at NMM, as shown by the blade.

Khorne Juggernaut

This is a few years old, painted a little ways after the Shaggoth.

Shaggoth

This is Games Workshop's giant dragon ogre, called Shaggoth. The original figure holds a big two-handed battle ax, which I was't a fan of. So I cut the shaft in two, cut the ax blade in two and used green stuff to rebuild the lost pieces. Two axes looked more savage for a Khorne shaggoth. "A Khorne shaggoth? But it's Slaanesh pink!" I hear you say. And now I know why highlighting red is such a tricky business.

Wayback Machine

This is a Grenadier undead dragon, which that company made in the mid-1980s. This thing sat on the shelf for some time, partly because it's true lead and I was kind of afraid to start sanding and otherwise handling it. But it eventually came together very easily with only a little gap-filling necessary along the spine.

Imperator Titan

This is an Imperator Titan from the old GW Epic 40K game. I always thought the big gun on the tallest tower looked goofy and impractical, so I replaced it with a Space Marine backpack decoration. The base, by the way, is a compact disc covered in a layer of cork.

Black and white and red all over

This is Wyrd Miniature's Pandora. I've always seen other painters' attempts at monochromatic paint schemes and wanted to give it a try. She is painted entirely in mixes of Reaper's True Black and Leather White (with a little pure white mixed in for the final skin highlight).  I was inspired by the Spanish artist Nekro, who specializes in mixing black and white images of his subjects with splashes of color. As if I didn't have enough references, the ankh on her coat is a nod toward Neil Gaiman's Death.

Watashi wa yorudesu

That's Japanese for "I am the night," what our friend here says as he strikes fear in the hearts of criminals across feudal Japan. This is Anima Tactics' Shinobi reimagined as Batman, complete with ears I made from tiny bits of paper and a batarang I carved from a piece of sprue.

Now I guess I have to find and paint one of those kabuki-masked Japanese demons as the Joker.

Rackham Gwernydd

My third lady in a row. Gwernydd is a Drune priestess from the Rackham game universe who tells the future through animal entrails. That makes her a haruspex (this has been your SAT pro tip for the day). She's tiny, which makes it hard sometimes to tell what you're even painting. And yes, the unlucky yellow cat hanging on her belt is modeled after my cat Seamus, who was giving me a headache that day.

Dark Age Warwind

Tried a different color scheme from the official Warwind, partly inspired by the Agents of SHIELD in House of M. The base was from a group of flyer bases I've had for awhile.
