Brother_Zach's Wargaming

Hello everyone, my name is Zach and I'll be using this blog as a means of promoting my interests in wargamming. I've been playing 40K for close to 8 years now, and want to get my hands into other game systems as well.

I'll pretty much use this blog as a "painting and modeling" showcase for my models. I'd also like to see if I can't knock out some comission pieces for fellow wargamers.

WIP Dreadknight

Damn People, it’s been a while.

Let me just say that this year has been fucking crazy. I’ve moved like 3 times and have since joined the military. Hooah!

But, I have finished quite a few things. I have about 1/3 of the Space Hulk set complete. I have finished some Forge World drop troops, a few random pieces for friends, and have started a handful of other projects. Currently, I’m working on a Dreadknight my brother bought me for Christmas. I report back to training on the 4th of January, so it’s not going to get finished, but I WILL post pics when I can.

Been a looooong time since I had an update.

But I am working on stuff, the college semester is comming to anend and it’s really kicking my ass.

I’ve got a Blood Angels Assult squad in the works, along with a miniature from Kabuki. Keep an eye out of these.

Blood Raven Captain I got from my brother. Finished this back in February.

Long time no update.

Without further adue, here is an Ultramarines Diorama WIP. I’m going to use OSL on the plasma pistol, and have that reflect mostly on the Ultramarines Captain and some on the tau who is going to be exicuted with the wrath of the Emperor :D. 

Incomming- My first tutorial.

So, to challenge myself and to attempt to educate my fellow miniature fanatics, I’ll be making my first ever tutorial. I’m going to do it on making a Display base, like those commonly found on Golden Demon entries. I’m doing this the cheap way, because paying 10 dollars for a premade, plain product doesen’t suit my needs.

The entire thing is still in it’s trial phase, but pictures have been taken. I’m simply waiting for a finished product.

The List of projects never ends!

Look foward to seeing me post these in the future:

  • Possessed Chaos Space Marines- sort of like world bearers, might even do a diorama!
  • Chapter Masters Boxed Set: Finished one as a Crimson Fist (My first attempt at OSL), still have to knock out a decent ammount of work on an Ultramarine, a Blood Raven, and an Imperial Fist
  • Furioso Dread- Great model, really. Just need to get off my rear and paint more.
  • Blood Angels Librarian with Jump pack- More OSL goodness
  • Blood Angels Assult Squad- You know, the ones that razor spam.

Also, I need to just take Photos of these:

  • Crimson Fist Chapter Master model
  • Blood Angels Libby Dread- Ironic, I finish the converting and painting, and GW releases a model for it.
  • Brother Captain Tycho conversion
  • Stupid “Ultra True Scale Space Marine Failure” sculpture I made for my art apreciation class.
  • Plus, my blood Angels army.
  • And finally, my Ardellan Ranger from Reaper.  

Here’s the Chaos Lord I painted for my youngest brother as a Christmas Gift. This model also took me 12 hours to paint, and I’m not as impressed with the end result as I am with Logan. The cape, on the other hand, knocks Logan’s out of the park, in my opinion.

Here’s an Ultramarines Sternguard Marine with Heavy Flamer conversion I’m supposed to be putting in the DakkaDakka Great Marine Swap. The Heavy Flamer was made from Devistator Multi Melta with the frunt nozzles cut off, the replaced with the old school Heavy Flamer spout that comes from the 2nd generation Leman Russ tank
