C'tan almost done
Okey, got an update on the C'tan project.
The wings are a pain I must say. I need to wait for each section to harden before starting with the next one and it takes ages. They still are not finished. There's some more work on the whip coils to be done. Now with the Necron bits they look quite neat.

There's a video I would like to share with you. It's unrelated to the hobby.

Another Coven Throne
Heya!
I'm super happy. My Hexwraiths made an appearance on the Games Workshop main site. One of my dreams came true. Considering that the C'tan is on one -two day hold, I haven't been wasting time and got to work on some other stuff. The Coven Throne Ultra! On the last one I made some conversions but it wasn't enough. So I mounted Manfred on it, made a throne of bones instead of the pillows. Come on, imagine Manfred riding on unholy contraption like this sitting on pillows, hell nooo. So I thought a throne of bone was more suitable. I made it with a lot of spikes so that Lord Manfred could stick up heads of worthy enemies. Most of them had rotted away leaving nothing but skulls that slid down from the top of the spikes. For the cauldron I attached one Vargheist head for decoration. There is a stream of blood coming out of the head's back side. I thought that the cauldron magically gathers the blood from the battlefield straight to the Vargheists mouth and fills the cauldron to give more power for the Vampire Coven. As for The Coven Throne I'm planning to make it more of a war machine, not a means of travel as it originally looks like. The whole spirit hosts will have more ghosts attached to them. It will be made as a really big Swarm of Spirits and ethereal creatures form the underworld. I already glued two banshees on the side and attached some more skeleton spears. I'm considering attaching some fleeing imperial state troops as victims of the spirit swarm charge. What do you think? Generally, it's going to be a lot of fun to paint and convert to make it a very unique Coven Throne. After I'm finished it will go on eBay ofc.
Also there is a Vampire Countess mounted on a nightmare made from CT bits in plans.
Stay Happy!

Female C'tan Project
Hey!
Well, the DC was a total disaster. I lost most of the games but still it was a lot of fun and everyone had a great time. Now some commission work for a very good client from miniwargaming forum. I'm going to do a conversion from one of the banshees from the Coven Throne to make Shard of C'tan for Necron army. I'll extend her dress, give her a nice staff and metal wings. I have gathered all the tools and components and I've already done some work on her.

Glowing skull eyes Tutorial
Morning Ladies and Gents.
After my release of the Hexwraiths some of you asked me about those glowing eyes on the champion. So I decided to make a tutorial about how I did that. I'm not saying that my way is the best or even correct for that matter. If you want to try painting it the way I did then you need to follow these steps.
1. First you need to paint your skull. I mean everything from the jaw to the tip, get all the highlights done etc. Painting the glow effect of eye sockets will be the final touch. It's preferred that the skull is not pure "skull white" so the light will be more noticeable to the viewer.
2. Paint the holes pure white. Don't overextend too much from the sockets' edges. Just fill it white. For this I used Skull White.
3. Prepare a mix of Skull White and Sunburst Yellow 1:1. Paint it around the edges of the holes .
4. At this point you need to give your skull some green glasses :) Mix Sunburst Yellow with Dark Angels Green 3:1 and paint the high areas around the sockets. Fuse them together to create a type of swimming goggles. The important part is to leave the yellow showing and don't get any paint in the holes!
5.We are almost done. Now take some Sunburst Yellow and drybrush the line between the green areas and the brighter yellow at the inner edges. The dry brush must be smooth and not to thick. You can cover most of the green area but it must be visible through the yellow paint.
6. Now repeat the same thing from step 5. but at the outer edges of the green highlight. You can extend the final highlight to the forehead but you need to figure out what works best with your particular model.
 |
| This is my end result |
Summary:
I'm pleased with the effect but remember there is always room for improvement. I think you can use this technique with a different paint combinations:
Green Glow Skull White Sunburst Yellow Dark Angels Green
Blue Glow Skull White Ice Blue Enchanted Blue
Red Glow Skull White Blazing Orange Blood Red
Purple Glow Skull White Tentacle Pink Liche Purple
When it comes to those other sets of paints, I haven't tested them but you need to watch out at step 4 and mix it differently. Change the ratio from 3:1 to 1:1.
I hope that this tutorial will help. Oh and sorry for the low quality skull, it's a fast gimp mouse sketch ;p. Would love to see what you guys will come up with. If you do, it would be awesome if you leave a link down in the comments. Cheers!

Blind man reading a book
Hello.
Finally I've got the engraved tablet done for the necromancer. All I need now is a wooden block and I'll be all set to finish the model. He will turn up on eBay as soon as he's ready so if he caught your eye you know what to do. I'm going to make him a display/play mini so he will be perfect for a glass cabinet and also for your ranks at a Warhammer Game.
Tomorrow The Dice Crusher. Every year in February we have a 40k tournament in my city here in Poland. It's my first time I'm going to actually play in it. The rules are quite unique. Two days, ten games and five opponents. You play the first game using your opponent's army and he uses yours. After that you switch. The score is calculated from the average of those two games. It's a real test of skill and knowledge. Wish me luck!

One more ghost girl
Still a lot of work to be done, many mistakes that the picture showed. Also my second take on NMM. I need more practice. I'm happy with the colors, she does appear quite ghostly with all her bright tones. Thinking of making her hair white but I don't know... she could lose some contrast. Anyway, I might be working on a Shard of C'tan next week, little something for all Necron fans. I'm going to make a conversion from one of the banshees that's in the Coven Throne box set. Give her all the extra gear, a kick ass pose, extended robe and living metal wings. It's going to be lots of fun and sculpting goodness.
Till next time!
