The ogre is a great work, but the zombies are a piece of beauty  !
I'll follow this tread even for an upgrade every ten years.

Hi Mason! A real pleasure to see you again here after two years!  I have to find the time to lurk in the 12389756 pages of Krappefortt you did in the last period 

Excellent painting  . I must have missed this thread first time round. Thanks for the update to bring it to my attention.

Thanks a lot and welcome onboard Gutbukkit!

oooh! =)

Thanks Jack. I'm fine, just a bit overwhelmed by real life business...
What about you?

Excellent brush and conversion work

Good to see this continuing

Many thanks James

Thanks Adam! How are you? Are you playing Mordheim with those beautiful skaven you made me paint a couple of years ago? I'd really like to see a pic of them in action eventually! 

The ogre is a great work, but the zombies are a piece of beauty  !

Wow, Randycarter, I'm really touched by what you said  Happy too see you like the zombies. I'll provide a groupshot as soon as I can 


BTW, I'd like to share a couple of pic of what I'm painting with some early WIP. But first, I want to share a couple of pics of my workbench, because I've learned that a well organized workbench is very important for me. I have little time for the hobby and I don't want to waste it in a chaotic search for tools and stuff...

This is the desk during normal activities...



But thanks to this ikea simple storage system...




...it's easy to make the desk into a workbench in about two minutes:



I'm very happy with this. Nothing special but really important not to lose the mojo

Finally, some WIPS:



Here is the last hero, the Engineer. I love this mini...I swapped the enormous warhammer in the right arm with a duel pistol and removed the banner. I know, maybe a bit over-the-top with his steampunk power fist but hey, I can't really say no to a dwarf with a steampunk power fist 



Here is the crossbowmen. I have just one painted and I need at least three



Some time ago I couldn't resist to evilbay and bought this Dwarf Mapper too... why not?



As you can see the oldhammer dwarf warband is almost finished.
The craziest thing is that I have bought enough stunties to make a little army... 

Finally, a little upgrade for undead too. Here is the first of my ghouls. I think this one is particularly horrorific, and it made me buy the set from Heresy. In the idea of the sculptor, she is a femal ghoul with his little newborn ghoul, I guess. To me it is a nightmarish creature who is actually eating a kidnapped child. Let's see what I can do with a proper gorish paintjob...



That's all guys. Hope you like what's going on here.
Cheers!

Looking forward to see what you do with the ghoul!

Love seeing the dwarfs  as well!

Good to see you back - the wait has been worth it.

Loevely idea with the workbench organisation! I have to find something similar as I have to use the same desk to study and to paint and often it becomes either a total mess because I don't want to put all the paints back in boxes (which costs so much precious time) or it's tidy and all and I don't feel like looking for my materials in 10 different boxes...So thanks for this, it's giving me the necessary energy to start reorganizing my desk aswell

Late again...the Ogre & his Living Impaired Associates are UBERCOOL, & BEAUTIFULLY painted creations...I love the color choices. The Zombies have started the wheels turning; i.e., I do have all those unassembled Empire & Zombie plastics...inspiration is always appreciated; thanks. VERY WELL DONE!

Your work station (neat or cluttered, whatever works best for you is the way to go) & W.I.P. pieces are impressive. You have some fantastic minis underway...somethings for moi to look forward to seeing soon...or later.

Absolutely beautiful work here Faber - the undead and ogres in particular are just inspirational!

Thanks! as you will see at the bottom of this post, this is the ghoul day

You are welcome! I personally find that ikea is very helpful with it. Nice wood kits for cheap cash.

Hi DeafNala! Thanks for the kind words. How are you? Happy to see you again here

Thanks Major! Hope to share many other mini soon

Well guys, your support was precious and so I managed to finish another undead mini..
  :-XHere is a very disturbing ghoul.





I kinda like it, but have to say that it was not easy to paint the skin..a fascinating miniature but not an anatomical masterpiece  
here with its fellows zombies:



Let me know what you think guys!
Cheers

[Sangennaru]

gooooore!

Me like it!

Is it using the child as a weapon too?

I think the skin came out very well indeed (although the blue around the baby's neck is disturbing all on its own!).

I'm a little surprised by your comments on the model's anatomy though, as Paul Muller (the sculptor) is generally quite good even if he does tend to over-emphasise the musculature and ligaments a bit.

Still, with both yours and Mika's works to guide me, I hope I have an easier time of painting her!
