Hiring a Commission Artist and Protecting Yourself

While I'm excited and enjoying my first official commission a couple of thoughts came to me.  Particularly how clients choose artists and can protect themselves.  After all clients want painted models and artists want business.

Raven Guard

Shadow Captain Shrike

Jakeenos Traffic Box Complete

Was able to paint over the grafitti in about five and half hours.

142 Hours Challenge

My first official commission.  Terribly excited!

Use Your Power for Good not Evil

Buddy on crapbook brought this to my attention.  "Some unmentionables vandalazied this restaurant's exterior in south Minneapolis. I can swing a brush, but there's folks better at this kind of stuff than I am who may be up for it. JJ - you know the place? Anyone else wanna lend a brush for some good noms?"

How to Lose Against Daemons: a Grey Knights Battle Report

13.9.7 Grey Knights vs Chaos Daemons.  This was a fun game.  Game plan I meant to use last game against Connor however his deployment didn't allow me to do it.

Again just like the Black Library books.  Chaos are amongst the Grey Knights.  Stewards of the Imperium fighting against their destined foes.

Here are several more rules from last game.

First Impressions 6th ed Space Marines Codex

Here's my first impressions of this codex.  Probably more aptly named "And the Rant Continues."  Onto the new cheese that is Space Marines Codex 6th ed.

Games Workshop Hates Xenos (and prediction)

It is the morning of the 6th ed Space Marines Codex launch.  Some already have the codex.  Others are picking it up at their gaming store at midnight (/waves hand).  Others still are waking up at some God awful hour before 10 am Sat morning to get to their store to buy the latest crack, cheese, useless book, whatever you want to call it.

Message from me to me.

Here is possibly the most dangerous squad in the new Eldar army.  Thinking about their special rules and ammo really has me worried for anyone who faces them, especially my Purifiers.

Dante Blood Angels Completed (5hr challenge)

Was given this bad boy to paint for someone special.  Decided to challenge myself.  Wanted to complete it in 5 hours.  I failed.  Completed it in 5h49m.  My armour.  I'm carrying too much weight.  I need to be-- I need to be faster.

Bit was missing.  First thing to do was procure another Infernus Pistol.  Thanks to LT for finding one.

13.8.7 1850 Grey Knights vs Eldar OK, that hurt more than a little.

Another game with the new Eldar and another painful lesson.

Spray Painting Made Easy

Tired of walking somewhere to spray paint with a box of models wobbling all over the place potentially falling off and breaking.  Perhaps you'll find this helpful.

Sisters of Battle Squad Completed

Wanted to put a different squad on the Link: commission site that better represents three-colour minium.  Felt the uniform grey on the Wraithguard made it look unpainted.  Asked to paint a squad of Suijin's Sisters.  Here's the result and new face for that level of painting.

Based Jon Kovalic's Black Armour Primer.   Drybrushed Vallejo Model Air Metallic Black over armour.

Remember you need at least 8 pieces of flair.  Want to add some flair to your gigantic Eldar wraithbone constructs?  Perhaps this will be a source of inspiration.

Tips for Painting Magnetized Weapons [Updated]

Say you're tired of using poster tac to secure weapons that fall out of their moorings while being painted.  Plus you might want to flip the weapons upside down to paint those pesky places paint doesn't like to go.  Here's a suggestion.

Eldar Wraithknight S.I. Completed

Finally this bad boy is done!  Feels great clearing these two projects from the murder table.

Shawn had it spot on.  Mordian7th and Spellduckwrong, you guys were also right.  Damn!  Those vanes turned out better than I thought.  Good call, guys.

Finally these guys are done.  Took too many parts to finish them.  Of course if I'm only painting for an hour or two it takes longer than it should.

Added number on shoulder.  Expect my first video tutorial in the next couple of weeks.
