I had a great 750 point game against Phil’s Protectorate of Menoth force recently which I’ll post photos from in the next few days. I wanted a chance to field Epic Irusk as I’ve only had a couple of opportunities to use him before. He is still an excellent troop ‘caster and his abilities are [...]

The Great Bears are in many ways a very typical Khadoran unit that have several of the traditional colours you might use in painting the Khador army. I painted these guys using pretty straight forward techniques, so hopefully this guide will be easy to follow. Step 0: Clean, Assemble and Undercoat I’m not going to [...]

Larger image on flickr.com Many people have difficulties knowing who is who in this character unit. If you have problems identifying the Great Bears – Volkov is the leader and is the miniature in the middle (with a beard); Kolsk is on the right (he is the eldest and is bald); and Yarovich is on [...]

The War Dog was an ‘in between’ project for me. I always try to have at least two different things on my painting table at once. That way if I get bored/uninspired by one I can fall back on the other. The War Dog was the fall back and it took quite a while to [...]

This is the last of the three Great Bears finished (apart from basing which I’ll get to). He is the leader and is named Volkov. I finished Kolsk and Yarovich over the last few evenings. Here are all three from the unit – Once they are based I’ll write a quick painting guide. Owen

I finished the next of the Great Bears (named Yarovich) this evening. I finished Kolsk a few days ago. Just the leader Volkov to finish now. In case you are wondering, he is blu-taked to the top of an old GW ink bottle with some water in it. I find it’s a nice weight and [...]

I’m currently basing my Cryx, but while the glue dries I’ve returned to the Great Bears of Gallowswood. I started these guys, along with a Koldun Lord, before I got stuck into the Cryx. I’m treating each as character, so this one (named Kolsk) is the first to be (almost) finished. The others have their [...]

The last two weeks has been a marathon of painting. Over that time I’ve spent about 26 hours preparing and painting 30 miniatures and I’m pretty happy with the results. Asphyxious was added during the last week in order to help preserve my sanity by painting another character model rather than just rank and file. [...]

Okay, time to stop procrastinating and get something substantial painted. I have a good bit of Cryx painted, but I want to get everything I own painted (with the exception of the unpainted Slayer). I’ve been collecting the Cryx for quite a while, but they are definitely my third faction behind Khador and Legion of [...]

I’ve been painting these for a long time and the photographs represent what I’d painted up to the end of 2007. There are a few more bits painted. I’ll hopefully photograph them soon. Owen
