Here is a sculpt i did based on the old rogue trader imperial guard models, hopefully will sculpt a full 10 man squad of these guys and hopefully cast enough to use for a 30k cults and militia footslogger list I've been drooling over for the past week. I think i'll have to re-sculpt the right leg as the gaiters look a bit to high compared to the few rogue trader guard i have, but for now I'm pretty pleased with it.

'ello, after a long hibernation I've finally got an update for anyone who by some odd chance decides to read this blog. I'll be honest i have a short attention span and got bored of the ogre, and moved on to sculpting a warhammer unification wars era imperial techno-barbarian. I don't want him to look too space marine-like as he's meant to be a sort of low-tech forefather to them, so I've tried to go for a sort of genetically modified man-at-arms look. The helmet is vaguely based on a kettle helm/sallet ,and will eventually have a plume for those who are interested in that sort of thing.  

I've decided in my great wisdom to do a monthly sculpting tip my first one is:

mix a bit of milliput in with your green stuff. this is for 3 reasons

1. It thickens out your expensive green stuff with cheaper milliput

2. It hardens a lot more like milliput allowing you to shave it with a sharp knife allowing you to smooth your miniatures out.    

2. it makes the putty mixture a bit softer and clay-like which i have found to be better for sculpting fabrics etc...

hey lads and ladies (pretending i have an audience makes me feel better about myself) this shall be my first... BLOG POST!!!! 

here is a recent sculpt of mine Iv'e been working on, marvellous isn't it?... Is't it!?!?!

 
 

this miniature is based off 15th-16th century (ish) german mercenaries which i quite like look of. i thought for my first real attempt at sculpting i should go for something a bit larger to make it a bit easier on myself.

so... what do you think imaginary audience? "it's great" you say? no! you're wrong it is merely acceptable! but i will admit I'm quite proud of it.
