I See Nerdy People!

You'd think playing Tabletop games that it would be a world of Man Stench and dorkiness. To a degree it is. Though unlike the days of Revenge of the Nerds, with the pen liners and pocket calculator, it is far different. Nerdy is popular, and even fashionable. Nerds have long hair, tattoos, piercing's and are even built like the jocks that are supposed to throw sand in their faces! I'm a bum nerd, I dress like a bum and look like a nerd. Hence a bum nerd.

Anyways, I have finally gotten back into some painting. I still suck at it, but hey I enjoy it, and the more I paint the better I get! So, when I can finally work out how to take photos that don't look like they've been shot on a $5 throw away camera, I'll post up some pictures of my fine work! Untill then, you'll just have to believe me. :)

Where Have You Been? (Pt 2)

well, what can I say? Laziness, boredom and and laziness (yes I'm an extremely lazy person) has gotten in the way of both my painting and blogging as of late.

Anyways, time is ticking and I thought shit, I have to get these Mouslings done! Which is precisely what I am doing. I got the little Rogue (posted last month) done and have to say that these models seem to be a cinch versus the Games Workshop stuff.

Whilst it's no 'Eavy Metal, I'm happy with the results and hope my wife will be too. I won't be able to post the results anytime soon, but it may pique my interest in getting some of my other model done.

Primer Time

I have just started on my Khorne Berzerkers. They were primed with Chaos Black primer by Games Workshop, now I want these to be red. The choice I currently have is to paint them all manually, which is quite a daunting task or I could buy a colour primer.

Games Workshop only offer white or black primers (base coat). This is great if you happen to want your models to be black or white, or you just happen to be doing a couple. If, like me, you wish to do ten or more models, then what about using a competitors offering?

Army Painter have a slew of colour primers on offer. These come in around 16 flavours, and will be great for the mass painter or lazy bastard.

Sven Would Be Berserk About These

Erik the Viking was a pretty crap movie. Though the real highlight of the film was Sven the Berserk, and his old dad dishing out goodly advice about berzerking. Anyways, the point here is my Khorne Berzerkers.

I bought them as a bulk lot off my Son's friend. though most are in need of some TLC. Over time I will paint the whole lot. What way, I really don't know? I've found some rather useful guides, I just need to pick the one that I feel is right.

The choices I have are:

Tinweasel Khorne Berzerker
Bolt and Chainsword Khorne Berzerker
Theforce27 Khorne Berzerker
GirlPainting's Khorne Berzerker (my fave)
PenguinPainterz very quick Berzerker guide

While I would love to use GirlPainitng's guide, it may be a bit beyond me at the moment. I'm thinking of using PenguinPainterz red with Devlan Mud and maybe Badab Black? I have so many of these models I may just fart around with them and see what I come up with.
