Working on Lady Sif this week.  Really fantastic pose. I really enjoy painting these miniatures.  It's almost entirely contrast plus some metallics, with just a bit of pres-hading doing most of the heavy lifting.

This model has a lot of nooks and narrow raised sections.  Lot of fun to paint, but lot of careful tedious manuvering!
​

Happy with how the model came out in the end! Hope you like her!

Hey all, currently working on some of the new MCP models for Asgardians (Thor, Mighty Thor, Loki, and Lady Sif).  The nice thing about blogging is I should actually remember what paints I used this time, instead of trying to figure out what I did based on process of elimination!

It's been awhile since I painted, so I started with what I felt would be an easier to model to work with.  I chopped off his hair, as I felt it didn't go well with the model.  I also don't like the standard practice of "my power color is the same as my suit color" which works pretty well for the comics, but really clashes on the table.  All my characters have a color which stands out from the rest of the model to help it pop on the table.

With all these models I did my standard grey primer, followed by a light zenithal spray of pure white over the upper sections of the model (more like 70%).  I then follow with a satin varnish to help with wash/contrast adherence and to protect the zenithal.

Paints Model:
GW Warp Lightning Contrast
GW  Bad Moon Yellow Contrast
GW Guilliman Flesh Contrast
GW Talassar Blue (very thin)
Vallejo Model Air Silver
GS El Dorado
GS Shiny Gold
Army Painter Dark Tone
GW Sepia Tone Wash

Paints Base: 
GW Dawnstone
GW Ulthuan Grey (dry brush)
Army Painter Dark Tone (Thinned)
GW Garaghaks Sewer Contrast (super thin)

Yet to Come: 
Green Stuff World Flour Powders

These models paint really nicely and are a great palette cleanser vs some of the more bling covered GW style minis.  Highly recommend giving some of them a try if you enjoy the comic book universe.  (It's also a pretty fun game to play!).

Updated blog post with finished photos!

Hey all! Hope everyone is doing well.  It's been a minute since I blogged anything...got on that social media train for a few years, until the train caught fire and spewed toxic garbage everywhere.  Now going back to blogging and storing my art on websites instead of platforms which own everything you upload.  Hope some of you are still around!

I am splitting my blogging and gallery into two sites.  The gallery will be at greggles.art (still under construction), and the blog posts will be here.  I do also have a bluesky greggles.art account, but I don't think I'll be investing much energy into social media after abandoning three platforms in a row!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing fantastic, and are super excited for the upcoming Nova Open!  I know I am!  I've been horrible with updating the blog, as most of my energy now flows into twitter, but I thought I would update you all just the same!  I've got a slew of new models to show off today!

Hey everyone! Just got back from adepticon, and had a wonderful time.  Here are the photos I took of the event! Hope you enjoy them!

Welcome my friends! Boy do I have a post for you today.  I finished not one, not two, but three new deff dreads for my deathskulls.  I was a painting machine this last week!

Hey everyone! Hope your Adepticon prep is going well! Been enjoying seeing what everyone is working on!  I'm still slugging away at my final pieces for my dread slam list.  The first of which is an old school Big Mek!

Welcome back everyone! Put the finishing touches on my megatrakk scrapjet finally.  Another buggy for the army!

Hey everyone! Welcome back! Been prepping for adepticon, and trying to get my lists nailed down for pickup games and the friendly.  I'm "trying" to bring two completely different 1500 point lists to adepticon.  We'll see if it happens.  Got myself some stickers that I'll be handing out.  Just a silly idea from the painting chat that came out pretty good!  Please do not apply to ones butt. :)  (Note if you want a sticker, let me know after adepticon, and I'll have a second batch that I ship out to peoples).

Welcome back my friends! Sorry for my lack of posting, but I haven't been slacking in the painting department!  I've just be lagging updating the blog (but keeping instagram and twitter up to date).  I'll round you all up on what I've been working on lately!

First off, a photo of a big mek with shokk gun I painted a few years ago!  (Sept 2010 to be exact!).  Lets see how I've done across the years!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been blogging as much (but still keeping up on twitter and instagram), but I have been very busy Hobbying away.  This is one of the first years where I left Nova, and immediately continued painting.  I've also been extremely excited about the orks, and been planning and painting away some of the new units.  First up is one of the new Jump Dragsta's!

Welcome back my friends! Bonjour mes amis! Recently returned from a vacation in Paris just in time for Orktober.  Thought I'd share my last few models with you!

First off, while doing research on Paris, I met a local online Vermenarque who gave us a ton of tips and advice.  We met up with him and had a few drinks at a lovely cafe, and I gave him the first international Trust in Rust ambassador (as much as an ork can be an ambassador!).

Welcome back to the final bat reps of the Narrative!  These two are amazing!  First one was vs Craig and Amanda, two awesomely drunk people who are great to play with (craig blew me up one of the previous years, and now he got his wife in the action of blowing up greg's stuff), and my partner was Dave, who you will remember from the awesome landraiders last year.  (He's playing Khorne daemons).  Big stompy things vs big stompy things! My type of game!

Dave also won best painted this year! Congrats Dave! Well deserved!

Welcome my friends.  Prepare for a punishing round of battle reports.  I faced tau three times in a row at Nova Open....it was pretty brutal.  Here is how the games went! (all fantastic opponents, just index orks vs codex tau is brutal unless you are running a particular list).

Off to the races, lets see how those green skins did!

Welcome my friends! Time to do some Nova Open battle reports!  My first battle was vs Dan, an awesome guy I previously played with last year.  We'd be facing off in the first game of the night, 2k, nids and gene stealer cults vs Trust in Rust Walkers!  Dan and all the players in narrative were happy to allow me use of the Dakka Dakka rule (published on warhammer community), so this was the first time I got to utilize it!

I was especially happy because we got to play on the awesome Ork fort terrain, brought and supplied by Chris Stover.  It was a great looking board with two awesome armies matched up!  My list was bunch of walkers + stuff, Dan's was bunch of big buggies + gene stealer cult shennigans.
