I'm Not Dead Yet

First off I would like to say that I am sorry for my recent absence. There has just been too much things happening in my life and my miniatures hobby has been left behind for a while.

I have been painting a few miniatures, played a few games, but nothing has been documented and I haven't really had the energy to write about it all. 

And today I guess the final nail was hammered into the coffin. My camera died on me. So I won't be able to do anything with my blog before I get a new camera.

I did have a few photos, on the computer, of a dinosaur I bought in a pound shop and painted for fun. So here you go:

T-Rex!

He is a huge fellow.

The cavemen are Copplestone sculpts which I used for games of Tusk! Mammoth hunting in the stone age.

So I guess this will be my last post for a while, I hope I still have some followers left when I get back. Take care for now and thanks for the support.

Astronauts and Insect Men

Pheeeew, I barely made it this month. I have so much going on in my life, right now, so I forget how fast time is running.

Last month was my birthday and I was lucky enough to get some lead as a present. This time my wife had made an order with East Riding Miniatures and bought me, among other things, some Space Cochroaches and some Astronauts.

"Zrak zrak zzrraa!!!"

"Zrzz zrak zrak!"

"Zrak for the camera!"

The Insect Men will easily fit with my Rogue Trader setting, I gave them a fast tan/brownish paintjob and I think it worked out really well. Maybe the red tips on their guns make them look a bit cartoonish, but I think it works out to give them a bit more detail.

The astronouts will probably be more hard to use for any game I can think of right now, especially since they are only four guys and only two of them have guns. But I really like the models and they were fun to paint. Again I used a pretty quick paintjob on them and since Astronauts are mainly white clad, I think they ended up looking flashy.

"Roar!"

Deredo Class Dreadnought

One more Dreadnought done. This time I laid some paint on the classic Deredo Class Attack Support Dreadnought. Armed with a powerfist and a missile launcher it is ready to take on both armour and infantry.

Once again I gave this Dreadnought a pretty basic paintjob, adding a few details here and there. I got inspired by a picture of a Dreadnought in the Compendium book and gave this one a Cat face with eyes, whiskers and fangs. It is hard to see in the pictures, since he is leaning forward, so the face is in the shadows a lot.

Next to go: Furibundus Class Dreadnought.

Contemptor, Deredo and Furibundus Class Dreadnoughts.

Contemptor Class Dreadnought

A bit back to the roots of my blog. Old school Rogue Trader madness. This time I once more expanded on my Blood Angels army. I decided to paint a Dreadnought with a lot of inspiration from the Blood Angels Dreadnought in the Rogue Trader book.

I did some, but not all, of the markings and of course the shark teeth. I think he looks really killer and fit in well with the rest of my army. Not the best paint job in the world, but well enough for gaming.
