Long time no Blog...

Hiya Hobby Zoners!

Its been a very long time... In UK Brexit is still ongoing and the World has been dealing with the Pandemic... 

For me i stopped updating the Blog as i was side tracked with other things... But now i wanted to resurrect my Blog...

I had so much fun updating it for a very long time and if am honest i really miss doing it... I want to aim for at least one update a week... Possibly on a Sunday evening....

Anyways some of my Gaming Club Crew (who are also my D&D Crew) are doing a Hobby Challenge where each of us builds/converts a model abd paints it to gift as an Xmas present... 

So without further delay here is my model to be gifted to Parkey... (Bryan P.) he runs the awesome Varchild's Vault Hobby Blog... 

I also decided to make a model for David G. And Neil F.

Anyways Xmas is fast approaching...  What are your Hobby related aims and goals? Let me know in the comments...

Thanks for looking and till next time Hobby Zoners!

Hello Hobby Zoners! so yesterday on a fine sunny Saturday in London my good buddy David G. popped over for some painting time. He brought with him the new GW Contrast paints which I am going to talk about a little now. 

Well I applied them over a normal primer with Army Painter white, then after shaking the bottle for 30 seconds to thoroughly mix the paint I carefully applied the paint, it goes on really nicely without the need to thin it at all. Make sure you apply a slightly thick even coat all over the areas on the model you want to paint.

It does not pool in the same way wash usually does, it is more sticky but once dry gives a very nice effect almost like i had primed + based + and applied shade/wash. The operative word is that it is super effective at what it does and it removes a step from your painting, which saves alot of time. And it just works, you cant really screw it up too much. 

So here I have painted only with a few colours from the GW Contrast range. My initial reaction was pleasant surprise as i was a bit sceptical how good they actually would be. And the truth is they are excellent!

I definitely recommend them to any painters wanting more tools in their hobby toolbox. They are worth the money in my opinion but situational. You wont use them on everything, but say priming silver then applying GW Contrast colours gives a very nice metallic effect, and i can see this being used in such a fashion alot. 

I would rate the paints a 5/5 for effectiveness and convenience and for the results you get they are decent value as they are 18ml bottles compared to the 12ml for regular GW paints and 24ml for GW shades/washes. I really think you all should try them for yourselves. 

Till next time Hobby Zoners!

Welcome back Hobby Zoners!

A smallish update tonight from me, just have some photos of the progress I made on those Blood Angel Successors Primarus (Inceptors) and some Dark Angels Primarus Hellblasters.
Also did a little work on on the DA Intercessor Sgt. as his face needed doing.

Hope you all enjoy the photos!

And many thanks for taking the time to look. :]

Till next time Hobby Zoners!

Hello Hobby Zoners!

Got some progress on my Relic Deredeo for Warhammer 40K. I managed to almost finish him and also do the basing too. He looks rather cool. I went with a desert base to contrast with the green armour. I also used some dead grass tufts just to enhance the overall look.

I think Tassitus One is almost ready, only thing left was the eye lenses but I am waiting on some paints to do the glow effect.

Also I have made more progress on those Blood Angel Successor Primarus.

Here are some pics of the Relic Deredeo Sniper Tassitus One.

I will post more photos on Sunday, but for now I bid you all goodnight. :]

Till the morrow Hobby Zoners!
