Gorgon Studios: Celt Chieftain

My most recent project was painting the fantastic new Celt Chieftain for Gorgon Studios. This is one of the recent additions to our Ancient World range and I think Steve did an awsome job on this scuplt. You can check out more of his fantastic models at www.gorgon-studios.com.

Next up will be completing the rest of the skirmisher packs for the Gorgon Spartan range. My Christmas break will hopefully be a productive one.

Spartan slingers

After slow progess I finally completed the first pack of Spartans from Gorgon Studios. I'm starting with the skirmisher models and will work my way up to the Hoplites as the final units. Stay tuned for more.

Sparta!

After much anticipation I received the first batch of Spartans that will soon become the Gorgon Studios Spartan Army. I decided to start with some skirmishers as there have been no painted versions of these models up on the Gorgon site yet. I'm hoping to finish the first pack of these slingers by next week sometime. These models are fantastic sculpts (and I'm not just saying that as a member of Gorgon Studios!) and much kudos to Steve Saleh for his excellent work on this range.

I also found time to finish the final model from the Ancient World range, Sycorax the Witch. I may have to use her in my Pict army if I ever find time to get working on that army again. See www.gorgon-studios.com for more information on these miniature lines.

One of the projects I was working on back in May/June was a painting article for Wargames Illustrated. The focus was on painting Gauls and featured the great plastic models made by Wargames Factory (http://www.wargamesfactory.com/). Well, the issue containing that article is now on sale so I thought I would share a couple of pics that I couldn't before. I also should note that my good pal Dave Pauwels has a fantastic Seige of Alesia Scenario in this issue as well. The information on the issue is below (in case you were interested).

Gorgon Studios is keeping me busy.

I've been working recently on some models from Gorgon Studios, a company started by some good friends of mine. I worked on a few models for the company website (http://www.gorgon-studios.com/). Soon I'll be getting a box full of Spartans on my doorstep that will hopefully become the Gorgon Studios Spartan army. Stay tuned for updates over the next couple of months.

Blast from the past

Below is a slideshow with pictures of my 1000 point Daemonhunter/Space Marine force. This was 1/3 of the Team Army that me and my friends (The Untouchables) brought to the 40k Team Tournament at Adepticon 2006. Our armies were featured in an article in White Dwarf 323 later that year.

I'm contemplating selling these models so I recently took new photos which is what you see here.
