I usually don't post many figure news here, but this video has to be shared because of two simple reasons:

a) I really like Edgar. He is such a nice guy and I already had the pleasure to meet him once. Would have loved to spent more time together, but Games Days are always so busy. He is also a great sculptor and I am very happy that he is working at Forgeworld.

b) Second reason is I do like the Horus Heresy figures and the Horus Heresy itself. I have read some books, but not all so far and it really is a grim place in this future. I always enjoyed the character of Erebus and so I am very happy to see Edgar's vision in the sculpt. Love it!

Hey YO! 

Some of you might wonder what happened to the lottery of the four figures. The results already have been announced via facebook but not here on the blog so far. As some still don't use facebook here are the News:

The winners are drawn and recieved an email to make a confirmation of their adress.
We will ship the figures today!

Thanks to everybody - now it is up to us to write a newsletter!
Don't worry, we will not spam you as we plan to use the newsletter maybe once per month, but let's see!

Well, 

BIG thanks to Dragonlord Games from Dillingen-Saar, Germany,
who support the jungle via their banner in the article section.




It is a real pleasure to work with the guys from Dragonlord Games. Why we know you might ask? We have been there twice for painting classes organised by Andy - here you can find the first one from 2011 and the second one from 2013.

We already have cool plans for the next studio quest together with Dragonlord Games.
Stay tuned for that!

Thanks for your support!

Aloa voodoo people, 

I don't believe it. I am holding a brush again after being away from the Studio for a longer while.
In fact it was not easy getting back on track. During my big project with those Tyranids the brush felt like being accrued to my hand and brain. I had not to think how to move it, had not to think what I painted, I just did and it worked.

Right now it feels different, more like "how the hell do I have to hold a brush, more to the tip or more to its back? And why isn't the colour doing what I want it to do?" - great not, but normal after a little absence :D


So beside cleaning up my long time dirt in the studio I started another figure.
It is from Pegaso and shows a Celtic Warrior in 90mm Scale. I don't want to do something special here, just want to get back in painting and so I started with just working my basic colours to the different materials on top of a black and white priming situation with acrylics.


I did not use the airbrush here even the figure would be a good practice ground for it. Not much has happened here but if you look close enough you can see how repeating the basic tone to an area already creates different strong areas of the colour itself (good example is the face here). One layer on top of the other always makes the over intensity of the tone stronger.


So far so good. Not much happened here further. Still have to get back to find out how to handle a brush :) - I am thinking about using some Oil colours again after it feels like ages have passed since I used them.

We are already packing our stuff as Raffa and I are heading out for two of our BÄM² painting class weekends in Hamburg. We will stay there until the end of September.

Keep on happy painting!
Best Wishes

Hey everyone!

It is time for another finished miniature, in this case a (for me) special one because it is an exchange mini for Roman who did his mini for me already some while ago, if you don´t remember, it was this one:
