Going to have a few new posts here. Finally got a chance to post recent projects that I managed to get wrapped up. This first one is a built heldrake from Warhammer 40,000. That first shot is the finished product sans varnish and even comes with a fully finished base. Woot!

As far as builds go, the Chaos Heldrake is especially challenging and not all that logical, if you ask me. I would see many posts about them on social media and most people complain about and bemoan the painting of the trim and such. While I did find the trim tedious, I actually found the build more vexing. The pieces were tough fitting together and there were many mold lines. In many places you had to fit pieces together before adhering them to another. Finally, the final pose of the Heldrake was not as pictured and teetered quite literally as incorrect and unbalanced.

That said, the final piece, as I knew it would be, was worth every second of blood, sweat , and tears.

It really is a stunning kit and makes for a great centerpiece on the battlefield.


Paint Scheme

​As is clear by the name and paint theme, this is fashioned after the motifs seen used by the Night Lords including midnight blue, gold trim, and lightning accents. The mouth weapon option for my Heldrake was the baleflamer.

Trim Scheme: Antique Gold, Agrax Earthshade, then highlights of Antique Metallic Gold and Metallic Inca Gold.

Armor Blue Scheme: Deadly Nightshade / Navy, Nuln Oil, Too Blue

Lightning Bolts Scheme: Wysteria Glycine, White, Too Blue

Metal / Skin Scheme: Metallic Gunmetal, Armor Wash / Nuln Oil, and Metallic Aluminum

Eye scheme: thinned White, thinned Burnt Orange

Baleflamer scheme: Burnt Orange, Nuln Oil, White, thinned Burnt Orange, thinned Yellow Light, thinned White

Brands used: Citadel, Apple Barrel, Plaid, Crafstmart, DecoArt, FolkArt, and FormulaP3.

Basing Scheme: Leaf Green, Model Train turf gravel and sponge bush, using Elmer's Extreme PVA glue and glue for model terrain.

Hope you all enjoy. Give a shout and share and like, etc. on Twitter and Insta @kaneykreative and @tskaney.

Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for more.

Just a quick post here about the attempt at painting a Primaris Space Marine as a member of the traitor legion Nightlords. Not sure I like the model as much as I like painting true Chaos Marines, but it was still fun. It was one of my attempts using those new Contrast paints. Enjoy!

Wanted to share this lot I have been working on recently. I wanted to repaint to a suitable level these old Chaos Space Marine Terminator boiz as a newer Nightlords army I am going to be expanding for my entire collection of Chaos Warhammer 40,000 Models. Finally got to a place that I am calling them done. Learned a lot in this process. Also, grew a lot as well. This is a collection of decent photos with them. Enjoy! (No, I did not strip them first).

By now, you probably noticed that Primaris conversion...he was painted at the same time using the new Contrast paints as a test subject.

A little filtering here...

Just did a reshoot for a June 2020 warhammer painting competition and wanted to post here. This is a converted kit of a Soulgrinder model with some extra firepower on its one claw arm, a pincer limb covered in gore, and also some gratifying blood spatter. Loved doing this one. Finally got a few photos to do it justice. Enjoy!

This tank was the brainchild of my 15, or so year old self, my love for the hobby, my love for chaos and nurgle and going all out, and pieces from my brother's kits. It combines parts from old Space Marine tanks, three chassis parts from a rhino tank, trads from two tanks, two dozer blades, two lascannons and two hunter seeker missiles, two heavy flamers, a twin linked lascannon turrent, rear facing bolters, and those old buff-giving searchlights. At least I think they did. This is a reshoot fo the model to give it more respect than it ever got.

I gleefully called it "Baptizer" and even wrote 3rd (?) edition rules for it on an old word processor.

Hello crew,

This post is about a new set of dungeon crawling critter miniatures for using with table top role playing games, specifically Dungeons and Dragons from Wizards of the Coast. At this time, currently at its 5th edition.

I know there is not many of you that come and visit anymore. I think Google has strangled most organic search results to us smaller kids on the block. That, and we all need to do a better job of putting out quality content. That said, I am planning on a renovation of kinds to this website to better help people looking for custom art of certain certain kinds. Stay tuned for that. But, for those select few that show up here, on a semi-regular basis, thank you! I appreciate you.

In either case, I have a good post here, mostly images, of these new miniatures I painted up. They have been done for a while, just finally got around to gluing the bases on and sealing today. And that also means doing my amateurish best on photographing these little devils.

Read on, if you dare!

This was the main piece for my collection of dungeon critters to start collecting and painting. The plastic was interestingly flexible and pre-primed with something of which I am not familiar. The reason is one of my one-shots I have penned uses the creature and I wanted to have one painted up for it. This one took around 6-10 hours. I used a combination of Folkart and Citadel paints along with Army Painter and Vallejo washes. The primer I use is a Krylon gray. Enjoy the pics! You'll have to excuse the fibers - sealed outside while tree cotton was blowing around! Oops!

The next set of icky creepy dungeon crawling critters for DnD 5e are the trio of Giant Spiders kit. This is also from Wizkids, but I had a much harder time with these. The bases were very small compared to the spiders. Luckily, I prefer using gel super glue and this helped pile up glue around the limbs to harden and, so far, securely fasten the little buggers to their bases. Also, in that same one shot as mentioned above, I have these featured in it, so I wanted to have a couple handy for the table top. Hm, their paint and color scheme ended up looking familiar!

I liked this kit a lot because it got me purely more miniatures for my money. A total of 8 dungeon dwelling creepy crawler critters. There are 2 bat swarms (be careful as they break easy and they have irritating mold lines to clean), 3 rats (or you could call them Giant Rats, I guess), and 3 spiders (again possibly used as Giant). These are all going to be used in my one shot as well since they do appear and I think visuals like these can help draw people in to a session better. I liked these a lot, they were more cute, I guess, but I will say they did not like brush-on primer. Lesson learned. These are on modeled carved stone bases, so if you care about that, be aware they are not plain! One thing to note is that I used the Citadel Technical Paint - Blood for the Blood God for blood dripping from the rat fangs and also I think spattered blood under the spiders. It really helps give it a wet shiny blood type effect. 10/10 recommend. Enjoy the lot!

While these were crucial as pieces to the one-shot to acquire and be able to field, I found them the most annoying to deal with both in terms of model fidelity and prepping and painting. They had poor definition and terrible mold lines to clean which made it tricky for painting. That said, there is something rather satisfying about the pile of rats to look at. One thing I found odd about these is that they have a base of sorts molded into them, but, for some reason, they came with their own glue-on bases. Well, me being me, I simply didn't want to waste those bases and ended up painting them up and gluing the seething mounds of dungeon rats to them. I think they turned out as good as can be hoped. Hopefully, a better kit comes out. This was 2 swarms in the blister, by the way. I can recall who I got them through, but I am pretty sure it was another Wizkid pack. Enjoy!
