I'm feelin' hungry... The GlanceOnASix Project Log

I've been a Warhammer (and 40k) player for years now on and off.  And have always been inspired by the stunning logs people put together.  I love surfing through them for inspiration, and I love creating them for the motivation they provide.

I've had a real "love hate" relationship with warhammer fantasy to be honest... the 7th ed was my "golden age" of wargaming, with my first fully painted armies, my close friends and I playing game after game on our pingpong table, tournies galore, and fun to be had.  8th started well, but went downhill as our "scene" fell into chosen deathstars and other things (that frankly I just wasn’t enjoying).  Now after a break, I want to start again.  I am a player who likes his optimization, but I plan on... "Relaxing" is a good term... as I take this foray back into the game I fondly remember getting me into the Tabletop Scene to begin with.

Figured I'd try to add some pics of my current WIP.  A Slaughtermaster!  I've done a bit of research and like the idea of an ironfist on this rather important gentlemen, and wanted to give him a bit more... 'Presence' than the normal finecast model provides, while not going TOO too OTT.  Let me know what you think!
(Keep in mind, I cleaned up the horns a bit since the picture.. I noticed the flash left on them when I took it, and fixed that right away! haha)

One more thing for the day, I'm making it a point to paint my army this time as I build it.  Piles and Piles of plastic dudes have taught me If I don’t stay on top of it, I'll never get it done when there’s an intimidating pile of 50 dudes in front of me.  So I wanted to show my first WIP ogre, he’s not done by any means.  But I'm pretty happy with the fleshtones.  I'll need to highlight the metals, and right now I’m 50/50 on cleaning up the pants a bit... I like the dirty/dull aspect so it doesn’t draw the eye (as I want the focus to be skin/weapons) but I’m not sure if it seems... Shabby.. Something to dwell on I suppose.

Loving the SM!

I really like that cape on the SM.

One thing I've heard other hobbyists say is to have a small group of models (something like 3 wips and 3 pips) on your table at any one time. When our opponents see a Gutstar they wet themselves...that unfortunately works with us on the painting table too.
