Two Million and Counting!!! A portal into another world...

Time to celebrate another milestone!!!  The blog has now surpassed 2,000,000 page views!!!  Huzzah!!!

It seems like all these big anniversaries come back to the Lizards, where is many ways it all started.

This is the second of two scratch sculpted Engines of the Gods which I made for my army.

Here are some images of the sculpting:

They were sculpted mostly from Apoxy Sculpt.  I made a tin foil armature, and then wrapped the Apoxy Sculpt around it.  I also added some green stuff and brown stuff details.

Of course, painting the portals was the most fun!

I had a blast painting these.

A closer view of the portal...

Four of a kind

Number four!

It was nice to have a few different weapons for a change.

Number five on the way...

He joins his buddies.

Just keep adding Dakka.

One more to go!

The Big Bang Theory

OK!  Let's see what we have now.  While a fourth Castellax is on it's way today, with a 5th right behind it, I wanted to check them out next to the Krios!

The last two walking beasts have different weaponry then these three...

Don't mess with these guys!

And with the Krios.  I've been wanting to see these kind of views, to check out how all the colors are working together.

I was glad to see all the reds in harmony!

It's scary to think that I am working on two more walkers for this army that dwarf all this stuff!

This is a load of Dakka!

And on the other backdrop.

The glow...

Marching to battle.

More later tonight!

Marble Everywhere!

Some finished shots for you of the latest round of marble bases.

It's fun to see them on a backdrop not covered in paint!

I know there's lots of fun minis that would neat on this one...

And this one...

And they will be Dark Sword minis :-)

A family portrait!

Zoe

The second member of the Wayward Eight... looking a lot like Zoe.

The nature of the Wild West figures does call for a palette that is centered on shades of brown!  I have been adding greens and even purple in some areas to get a little bit of variety.

It's the nature of the beast, however, when the side you fought for is known as the Brown Coats :-)

Zoe and River!

River and Zoe...

She's so tiny

The first miniature from the Wild West Exodus Wayward Eight set is complete!  This is 'River".

After doing all these giant projects such as the Siege Train, the Holy Roller, and all these Forgeworld beasts... she seemed like a gnome!

You might remember the set of bases I made with the Happy Seppuku moulds.  The idea was to create the deck of Serenity.

Seven more to go!!

A few more Tomb Kings

Here's a few more Tomb Kings units for you.  First, some scratch sculpted Carrion.  Two headed and multi colored to match the story that I wrote for the army.

Also, the columns were sculpted by carving baked sculpey.  They tell the story of the Second Fall of Pseusenes.

It was not easy to carve in those textures around the cylindrical surface, that's for sure!

My hands hurt a little bit afterwards, but the results were worth it!

This unit of Ushabti never was included in a game.  They were extra decoration on the army board to fill in a few alcoves.

They were fun to paint, just like the bow wielding variety.

Glowing weapons, just like the rest!

One more look...

And some individual shots.
