Please don't squeeze the Shaman


Yeah, I have used that line a million times!  Sorry.  Heck, there are probably way more people who don't get that reference than those who do.  Ouch.


Here's another figure using the dark flesh tone techniques that I used for the video.


This time around, I did some white designs for more fun!

You cannot avoid the plague


One more big Ultraforge demon for you!  From the ranks of Nurgle this time.


All of the usual color transitions that I have been using for Nurgle, shifting greens from warm to cool, moving from high saturation back to low.  The lower saturation tones were designed to be located around the brighter pinks of the pustules and such to increase the contrast.


I say it in the painting videos quite often that contrast is not just light vs dark colors.  High chroma colors vs low chroma is just as effective.


Anyway, this guy is up on ebay right now:


No need to claw your eyes out


OK, last terminator from the latest squad!  A second lightning claw set.


Definitely liked this style of armor better than the last one!  A refreshing change from the usual plastics as well.


Next up... the group shots!

Flight of the Valkia


Here's a mini that's been waiting for paint for years.  Back when I was trying to start a Chaos army, I thought that Valkia the Bloody would be a fun character.  I converted this Reaper figure, adding a Chaos Knight halberd.


I don't think I will even get around to that Chaos army, so I just painted her anyway...


This is actually a pretty massive hunk of metal!


You can get a better idea of just how big this is next to a more 'human' sized Reaper figure.


The cutting edge


Here's another Raging Heroes piece.  Yup, still dancing on the edge!


She better not do a Gollum and fall in!

The pimp and the preacher


Holly rollers Batman!  He's here to save the souls of the living, since most everybody seems to be dead.

It's the Preacher Man!  He's a man of the cloth, but still mighty handy with that shootin' iron!
The Preacher will offer a few good words from the good book, and some hot lead to the face of those zombies...


He's especially good at the laying on of hands.  More than one character has felt the healing hands of the Preacher...

Just be careful when he opens up that Bible of his.  When he wants to read from Revelations... look out!


He is also determined to change Disco Stu and his decadent ways.  Normally, Stu would avoid the Preacher like the Fuzz.  Cuts down on his 'groove'.


But the Preacher Man is determined to save Stu's soul from the evils of polyester.


Nothing like hordes of brain eating zombies to create this congregation.


Stu thinks the Preacher Man is after his Benjamins.  How will this all turn out?  Heaven only knows.


Flame War


Hmm.  Internet trolls.  Heavy flamer.  Solution! :-)  Hot stuff!!


You light up my life?  Light a fire under...  Sorry.  Long day.


The view from above.
