Skaven Chief Warlord Engineer Ikit Claw

It has been such a long long time since I posted anything on this blog. I hope there are still people seeing my updates :P

Anyways, here I am once again, finally managing to finish something off. Something I was building for quite a while now. You have probably by now seen my Skaven army building up through the pages of this blog. If not, do so now ;)

In any case, I have always been fascinated with one of the most infamous Warhammer characters, the great Skaven Chief Warlord Engineer of Clan Skyre, Ikit Claw. Being a long time Skaven collector, I happen to have the old model of him, not that I dislike the newer version but as I always like to say, no school like old school! I always loved the character and the extreme details that this model have.

But let the pictures just do the talking, I guess





The model stands on a resin Armorcast base. I don't think they made these anymore, if they do please let me know as they are really great! I think it really makes the model stand even more out of the ordinary and it really suits well with the general archaic industrial feeling. I decided to go with a slightlty different color sceme than the original model, mostly because I wanted it to have a more fresh look, using metallics and washes to create this gritty and mechanical feeling. The banner is completely scratchbuilt from greenstuff and hand painted, using the original banner as a model.The base is finished with a pool of green shiny slime because... well nothing shouts out loud that an experiment went wrong more than green shiny slime ;)

As always I would love to hear your comments, remarks and anything else you would like to share with me, plus if you have the time, leave a vote for this fella on CoolMiniOrNot! 

Till next time, take care!

Skaven Exalted Vermin Lord finished

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!!


I am more than happy to post this update at last. I managed to get out of my modelling stalemate and finally managed to finish something which I have been stirring in my workbench for the past months, the wonderful model of the Skaven Exalted Vermin Lord from Forgeworld.

It is a brilliant model, full of details and character and great pose. I enjoyed every second working with it and I am more than happy with the end result.


I would love to hear what you guys think! As always comments and remarks are more than welcome! Don't forget to leave me a vote on CoolMiniOrNot as always!

Be'lakor The Dark Master

Hello everyone


I have been working on this model for quite a long now and only recently I have decided to finish it at last. Ever since the release of Be'lakor's dataslate I wanted to play with him, but unfortunately I didn't have the model, so I have decided to make one converting a wonderful model I had from Andrea Miniatures, Astaroth the Annihilator. 






The model is heavily coverted especially in the head so that to resemble the horned figure of Be'lakor. Lots of other minor conversions have been done to the whole model with sculls and chains and of course a huge chaos symbol on his chest

Here are some WIP shots before painting!



One thing that bugs me is the sword, which is insanely thin, it can bend so easily that I am really afraid that it will eventually snap, especially if I decide to use it for gaming purposes. Oh well, you may eventually see a different version of him featuring a different sword

I have also submitted this model to Golden Vinci 2014 Online Competition, follow the link to check it out


Thank you for your views and as always your votes and comments are more than welcome! Check him also on CoolMiniOrNot!

Blog down, call out the air support!

Hello everyone!

During the past 5 days or so my blog was inaccessible... there was a splash screen instead with an oops message (covering the usual google twisted sense of humor) informing the user that if the problem persists try refreshing the page (duh)


The problem obviously persisted ... and to a whole bunch of bloggers out there as well. Google support forums filled with bloggers complaining about the same issue. And it seemed to be a really persistent one, taking google support 5 days to apply a fix that solved the problem as a whole and not partly...
Anyways, enough with my rumblings... I would like your feedback on how good you can read my blog now.

On a more hobby-like side of events, I managed to finish a piece of terrain I had laying in my closet for quite a long time now, the Skyshield Landing Pad, and hopefully this will be the start of a long range of terrain pieces I am planning to create.


A really nice kit, lots of detail as in all of GW's terrain kits and a real pleasure to paint, although nothing out of the ordinary again. Lots of airbrushing work and a small stencil to make the V1 marking in the middle. I would love to hear what you think and leave me a vote on CoolMiniOrNot :) !
