For me, this looks promising, changing to the shade/base/layer format seems like a good idea. I only hope that they won't reduce amount of paint i the pot and/or rise price per pot. Getting rid of the crappy flip-top pots would be nice. Since I used Vallejo paints I love bottles instead of pots, also I hope that GW will finally make better bronze/brass/gold metallics(well I have't found any good metallics in this colours, anyone?).

First Look: New GW models Part 2

Now its time for the better part of the photos of new GW minis. Tyranid models are imo much better than the SW ones. So without further jibber-jabber.(pictures taken from Beasts of War)

Tervigon

I love the new Tervigon, it is exactly as I imagined, large Tyranid beast with bloated underbelly full of spawning Termagaunts, ready to kill and eat everything. Long story short, Gamer Approves. What we have next?

Tyrannofex and Swarmlord

Tyrannofex is OK, although pretty standard. Swarmlord is a bit disappointing. I expected that it will be little more "slashy". Still it is a solid miniature. Next.

Winged Hive Tyrant

Hive Tyrant with wings is another OK model, looks somewhat small but i think its the picture, GW-taken pictures are not the best lately.

That is all for today. This weekend I'll be attending a 2400p ETC Warhammer Fantasy Tournament in Warsaw. Tomorrow I'll post my list and so on. After the event you may expect some pictures and my after-action report.

Cheers.

First Look: New GW models Part 1

          Hello again! This time i'll be talking about new GW minis which photos surfaced on DakkaDakka and in other places in the Internet. Those are Thunderwolf Cavalry, Grey Hunter with Wolf Banner, Fenrisian Wolves, Cyberwolf, and Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf for Space Wolves. Also there are few pictures of new Tyranid models: Tervigon, Tyranofex, Swarmlord and some flying monster which name i can't remeber(please ignore my incompetence). So here we go:

  Thunderwolf Cavalry

As you can see, they're basicly just Space Marines on giant wolfs. I don't really know what to thing about them. On one hand they're not overstuffed with various 40k things(like skulls and emblems), on the other those wolves look a bit thin and fragile(actually too fragile to carry a SM). Well at least they don't look like Canis Wolfborn over-sized squirrel. I would like some more muscles and maybe some armour/bionics. What we have next, lets see, 

Grey Hunter with Banner and Cyberwolf

Little better, GH is a OK sculpt, but again cyberwolf looks like a sculpture made by the creepy man that stuffs animals, not like a wolf with bionics/cyberbody, not enough metal! Flesh is weak!

Fenrisian Wolves

Not much to say here, they're pretty much OK for me. And finally for the Space Wolves:

Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf

The wolf is much better(at least on this picture) than the regular ones, armour is OK, and the axe is pretty nice too. What i don't like is the face, and the shield(too small). Overall this is a nice mini. Please notice the unfortunate Thousand Son carcass on the base(not the best but nice touch). For the better part of the miniatures(Tyranids) You'll have to wait till i wake up.

Cheers

Hobby Project: Vulkan, Vindicare and Sorcha

Over last few weeks, i was bored. I've got a break at my university so i sat at my desk and painted few things. So without further ado:

Vulkan He'stan

Wow, this model is so cool! I love it! Painting it was a real challenge due to the number of details and intricate armour. I painted it for my friends Salamanders army, and as a practice. I'm very fond of it. Sorry for the blurry picture, when i'm back from my in-laws i'll try to get a better picture and switch it. I love the idea of lava base always wanted to try one. Lava was made of green sutff and the rock is a wine bottle cork. 

Vindicare Assassin

This Vindicare I found in my bits box. I love this model. In my opinnion its one of the best modes GW has ever made. I know, that, this is another blurry picutre :( I wasn't aware of this until i added it to the picassa gallery. I must also work on the background.

Forward Commander Sorscha Kratikoff(or eSorscha)

Although my 2400p WFB Dwarf army isn't finished, i grew bored of painting little, bearded madmen.(lets face it, plastic 7th ed dwarfs are not the best of GW miniatures). So i starded reading about WarmaHordes(or HoMachine as Frontline Gamers says :D) and decided to make little force of Warmachine for me. I chose Khador because of their cool Imperial, Tzar's Russia theme, but i thought tha it will be cool if i paint them like the Red Army. Here is my first attempt to do so. Sorscha is a lovely model, and i tried my best. I'm pretty much happy with how it turned out.

Coming up next are: Kovnik Joseph Grigorovich(WM/H), Imperial Inquisitor(40k) and some dwarfs(or dwarves, who knows?) And later this month some Infinity models(well maybe i'll make a review).

Cheers
