Confessions of a John Pickford-o-holic (New painted Dvergar 17-07-13)

[Little Odo]

All exceptionally good, but the Dwarf lancer really stands out for me.

[clam]

Really working slow here, but there has been a bit of progress.

Started the next unit of WK Dwarfs - the Pikemen Pikedwarfs. Each unit in my army will be painted in a different colour scheme (cause I know too well, what will happen if I'm to do 100+ miniatures in on single colour scheme). So this time I tried out a blue and yellow one.

Here is the first 3 - which was my round 3 entry at the Brush Slave League.



This unit will be a mix of WKs and MMs as I have an almost complete MB1 Regiment  (only need the musician (with the flute) and a single trooper C - nudge, nudge ) sitting here awaiting paints.

A trained eye will spot the use of square bases ....! Originally this project was just to build a small skirmish army for smaller games, but the WK range is growing bigger and bigger - and I have re-found an interest for playing large scale table top games with rankable units, so I will try to do an army and group the core troopers in units of 20-25 models.

And like always a few more pictures on the blog - http://clamshellsandseadogs.blogspot.com/2012/05/brush-slave-league-round-3.html

Great looking stuff! Nice use of green as a third colour.

Lovely looking stunties, Clam!
 
They will look fantastic when you complete a ranked-up regiment.

Thanks guys.

 - and now something completely different ...

A few days ago Manic_Miner (FourAMiniatures) gave us a preview of his first (of many, I hope ) Pickford sculpt(s)  - and by the courtesy of Mr. Coleman himself I have been given the chance of getting myself a copy prior to its official release.

Just finished the base (glues probably still wet) but thought I'll share him with you, too (as I've already shared him on my blog and on facebook).



Now, all we need is to convince Mr. Coleman, that he needs to get a few more made

[manic _miner]

 Nice to see another one painted Carsten.Good work on him.

 Just need to sell more miniatures to fund the next one's .

[Lowtardog]

He looks the rats danglies

[white knight]

Very nice. Hope you don't mind I shared it here: http://frothersunite.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=793811#793811

[manic _miner]

 Dont mind at all WK.Carsten loves the John Pickford pieces that is why he got one early.

[DeafNala]

That has got to be one of THE COOLEST Rat Guys I've ever seen...the EXCELLENT brushwork & basing go a long way to making it so. VERY WELL DONE!

[Mason]

Nice work on Samurat!
A very dynamic sculpt given an excellent paintjob!
 

[clam]

Thanks for all the nice words

@Manic_Miner: I know that's how it works, but trust me - you will sell this and a lot of your other awesome stuff - "we" just to have to make people aware what an excellent little company you are running

[Dr. The Viking]

Carsten I must say that you are really quite the painter! 

Amazing stuff!

I still hope to someday meet up and paint or just odrool at your painted miniatures! 

[aggro84]

Nice stuff clam.

Thanks, Doc. And it could be nice with a little painting session - and with the new medical cure I'm on it might be sooner than you know Really having some progress killing the neurological pain. Just need to get used to it - as right now it make me so god darn tired.


Enough about my health - here is something new:


First we have something not so Pickford-ish - but with a Pickford touch and still interesting for LAFs, I think:

Goblin King on hobby horse:



Yes, Whiffs Orcs (CP Models) - with a bit of rework to suit my projects.


And then, I found time to paint some of my dear Pickford gems:

the Goblin Jester's (Kommandos) and Goblin Fanatic:



An entry for "my baby" the Brush Slave League '12 @ www.chaos-dwarfs.com
 
And as always more pictures on the blog


In there you also find info and a link to my newest Pickford Adventure - the Ewal Dvergar-project. More of that later on, when I get some of them painted
