Ok guys - I need help from you. I've got a whole bunch of boxes to build. But I also have a whole ton not painted.
I've always been a fan of paint as you go, but I have dug myself kinda deep from buying used models for the cheap. I probably have somewhere in the vicinity of 140 models that are built but not painted. or only partially painted.
So my question is this guys, do I paint what i've got built, or build everything, then just nut up and start painting? Or do i build a box of something, then paint 2x the models that are in that box. I just don't know guys....
Welcome to my trip through self educated painting. I will be painting Warhammer 40k Miniatures, and perhaps one day Warhammer Fantasy. Thats the majority of what you'll see here. Along with other such customizations and modifications. I hope to one day build scratch built models. Wish me luck, and subscribe to encourage my posting.

So here we are with an update of my first commission paint job. I'm painting my buddies bugs for him - So without furthur ado here are some pictuers!!
So here is what I've done, and all the stuff he's asked me to do. I'm saving the Trygon for last, as its the most appealing model to me.
The gargoyles are obviously far from finished, I dont know how to paint the webbing of their wings just yet.

More Wazzy, and BIKES!
Hey guys - Figured I needed to post some stuff of my bikes. And seeing as I've finished my wazdakka build, and he's ready for paint, You guys need a picture of that.
Here he is balancing on his new base! This is a rough idea of what he's going to look like based up and everything.
Couple shots of his base all painted up and ready for him when he's done.
AAAND his buddies on bikes! Got alot of nobz in there so i can run em as nob bikers if i want. Theres even a bike that has a Kombi-Flamer in there. :)
Gotta put my Boyz on the back burner, finishing up the bugs i'm painting for my buddy, He bought me an airbrush to pay for them. So i'll get those busted out this week, I'll take some pics tonight, of all i got to paint and where I'm at on all of them :)

Wazzdakka Gutsmek
So while I have been neglecting my blogging responsibilities I've been working hard on modeling and painting. I've recently been working on a Wazzdakka Gutsmek model, and I must say I've been enjoying every minute of it. I have somewhere around 20 hours tied up in construction so far, and most of that was planning. or sawing as I'm using a puter warboss body. I still need to find some wheels, I dont think i'm quite ready to attempt making some, But i'm thinking the wheels off of a battle wagon, or a Trukk should do nicely. and I have a few coming my way.
Without Further Adieu here are some pictures I snapped with my phone real quick.
In this one you can see where i'm going to put some more Dakka, and I might try throwing a couple guns on both sides of the big kannon in the front.
Its going to be fun to paint, I'll be sure to post some more pictures of it painted.

Its been a while!
Hey guys - I know its been a while, please forgive me.
I've been working hard on my Orks, I've finished a couple more trukks, I also got some Kans for Christmas and they are just about done. I'll try and get some pictures of everything painted thus far.
Todays post is more about another project I've kinda started. My friend is playing now, and he's finally got his army selected. He's going with bugs, he has jokingly asked me a couple times to paint his stuff for him, and as I was helping him trim and assemble models so that we can play in this escalation league at our LGS I decided to paint one.
Here are some pics! sorry for the crappy pictures, these were some i grabbed when i finished to send him via text msg.

Water, fire, air and dirt Fucking magnets, how do they work?
I got my magnets last night - wasted no time diggin in and getting some on my trukk. Before I posted pictures yesterday I decided that I was going to magnetize the boarding planks, in case I ever went to a wysiwyg (what you see is what you get ) tournament and wanted to run boarding planks.
Grabbed my drill and started punchin holes. and glueing magnets in place.
In the end everything turned out as I had hoped. I think the planks turned out great.

There is alot more to placing magnets than I had initially thought, You want to keep the polarity on all spots the same, so i can swap planks and i dont have to think about which plank goes where, and what not.
I also got a little over zealous when drilling, ended up having to clip tiny slices of plastic from my sprue's to fill the holes so the magnets were flush. That was actually a nightmare.
