Painting Challenge Winner

Hi all.

Just a quick post to announce the winner of mine and Zebulon's Painting Challenge. This time around it was my Gaunt Summoner vs Zebulon's Endrinmaster. After a week of votes the results were 4 votes to my Gaunt Summoner and 1 vote to Zebulons's Endrinmaster.

So that makes my Gaunt Summoner the winner for this challenge.

I think a well done to both of us for two well painting models and a thankyou to those who voted and those who just came to have a look.

Thanks for having a read.

Blackmane vs Zebulon Painting Challenge: Challenge Back On

Hi all,

Just a quick post to say our painting challenge is back on. It's actually been resumed since last week but in all honesty I just haven't had chance to get a post up. So The end date is actually tomorrow so post with our models should be up tomorrow evening sometime.

Thanks for having a look.

Blackmane vs Zebulon Painting Challenge: Challenge Paused

Hi all.

Just a quick update on the painting challenge. It was due to end tomorrow but in actual fact we've paused the challenge. Zebulon asked me earlier on this week if we could pause the challenge as due to longer than usual days at work for the last week or so he hasn't had time to even get started. So because of this I agreed to pausing the challenge until Zebulon has his free time back again as it seemsonly fair. 

Hopefully that won't be to long and we'll get a new end date set as soon as possible.

Thanks for bearing with us haha.

Blackmane vs Zebulon Painting Challenge!

Hi all.

Today marks the start of a new painitng challenge between myself (Blackmane) and Zebulon. As some of you may know from time to time we run a challenge where we pick a model (it might be one we both like, both want to try painting, both own, etc), set a time limit and get painting. The challenge this time is in a format we've only done once before in that we won't be painting the same model and we each picked the model the other will paint (link to the last one where we did an Empire General vs Wight King). 

The criteria were as follows:

• An Age of Sigmar model
• Had to have the HERO keyword
• Under £20 in value
• No rule on model material
• No rule on specific factions/armies 

More after the jump. 

Zebulon vs Blackmane Painting Duel: Finished Models

Hi all

Today I bring pictures of the finished models that myself and Zebulon have painted up for our challenge. This post should have gone up on Thursday when our challenge finished but I think we were both a little busy so the post never got done. 

As Zebulon explained in the last post this challenge was to paint a model chosen by the other from the range of plastic characters GW has been releasing. Zebulon chose the Empire Captain for me and I chose the Wight King for Zebulon. We were free to paint them up however we wanted. 

First up my Empire Captain. 

Zebulon vs Blackmane Painting Duel

Hi all,
Zebulon here putting up a quick post on myself and Blackmane's latest painting duel. Its been a fair while since we did one of these, I do believe the last one was the Island of Blood Elven Prince on Gryphonne, which was quite a while ago! Anyway we have decided to pick each others this time round from the new range of plastic heroes that GW is currently releasing.

After much thought I opted for the Empire Captain of the Empire for Blackmane

and he went for the Vampire Counts Wight King for me.

We have until next Sunday to complete the mini however we see fit then a poll opens after to determine the winner! Lets get to it!

Zebulon

Update. The end day for the challenge has now been shifted to Thursday the 4th of July.

Hi all

Today I bring pictures of my finished High Elf on Griffon. So on to pictures.

Blackmane & Zebulon Versus Challenge 2: High Elf on Griffon Update

HI all.

Today I have a quick update on the 2nd Blackmane vs Zebulon challenge. Today while I was talking to Zebulon, he asked for an extra day for the challenge. Been the kind hearted, all round nice guy that I am, (I can hear Zebulon laughing) I agreed on extending the deadline by a day.

So the deadline will now be Moday the 15th of August at 5pm. A poll will be added once pictures of both models are up and voting will be for one week until the following Monday.

On a side note my High Elf on Griffon is going well so far. The griffon is all done and now I'm just working on the High Elf. He's about half done as I write this. I'm happy so far with how he's going and I can't wait to get him finished and to see what Zebulon has done with his.

Well thats all for this short update. Thanks for reading.

Blackmane & Zebulon Versus Challenge 2: High Elf on Griffon

Hi all.

Today I come with news of mine and Zebulon's next Vs Challenge. The first challenge was to paint up the finecast chaplain. Our next one is to paint up the high elf on griffon that is part of the Island of Blood set. The format is pretty much the same as last time. We have a set period of time in which to paint up the model in question as well as make any changes that we want to make. Once the time is up we will then each put up a post with pictures of our finished models at which point a poll will be added and then its up too you, the readers, to choose the winner of the challenge.

The start date will be Saturday the 6th of August at 9am GMT. The finish date will be Sunday the 14th August at 5pm. The poll will open once pictures of both models have been displayed. The poll will be open for one week.

With less than 13 hours to go before then next challenge starts I have to admit I'm quite excited abot this one. While I enjoyed the first one (winning was a bonus), I didn't have to really push my paintinng skills much. This time however the light colours of the high elf will prove a challenge as I'm not great at painting them. There's also the Griffon to consider. I've never really painted a beast/monster before so it should prove interested.

With that I'm going to busy myself with some other bits until I start tomorrow. As always thanks for taking the time to have a look.

Blackmane & Zebulon Versus Challenge: The Result

Hi all

So the poll for voting was open for just less than a week and we now have the final result.
Zebulon : 1
Blackmane : 4

So that makes me the winner of the first vs challenge. Ok so there weren't a lot of votes overall but thanks to those people that took the time to have a look. I'd just like to say that I think Zebulon did well with his Chaplain, especially seen as it was very poorly cast.

Even though the poll is now closed please feel free to take a look at the chaplains (Zebulon's http://signoftheaquila.blogspot.com/2011/06/zebulon-blackmane-versus-challenge.html , Blackmane's http://signoftheaquila.blogspot.com/2011/06/blackmane-zebulon-versus-challenge.html) and leave any comments you may have as they are always welcome.

As always thanks for reading and have a good week.

Zebulon & Blackmane Versus Challenge: Zebulons Chaplain

Hey all, today i bring my chaplain which i have been working on over the last week to compete with Blackmane. Was very frustrating to paint as i got a bad cast bt i think i covered most of it fairly well, Ultramarines are renowned for there romanyness so i tried to include a little of that in the wreath and the cloak. Any c&c's are welcome and we're going to do a poll to decide who was the winner, so when its up any votes would be awesome!

Blackmane & Zebulon Versus Challenge: Blackmane's Chaplain

Hi all.

Today is the day we reveal the Jump Pack Chaplians we've been working on over the past week.

So today I bring pictures of my finished Jump Pack Chaplain for mine and Zebulon's Vs Challenge. I'm very happy with how he's turned out, especially with the wolf pelt I sculpted. I decided to flex my fine detail/free hand muscles and added the little runes on the bottom of the leg and on the jump pack to add to the space wolf feel.

On with the pictures.

Blackmane & Zebulon Versus Challenge: Blackmane Update

Hi all.

If you read the post by Zebulon on Sunday then you'll know that Zebulon and myself are currently involved in a grueling challenge of hobby and painting skill (ok that may be a bit over the top). Anyway this is just a  quick update to keep everyone up to date on my progress with only 3 days left to go.

So far I've made all the modifications, big and small, to my jump pack chaplain model. He's been basecoated and is ready for painting. However I will admit that I had intended to start painting him today but got side tracked, basing 89 models to be exact (more on those another day). That means I'm currently behind my own imposed schedule but I'm hoping to have him pretty much done by tomorrow night. This means I should meet the 5pm deadline on Sunday.

Now this kind of post would normally warrant a few nice WIP pictures. However, Zebulon and myself agreed not to post any in order to keep the final models a suprise for ourselves and all you out there. So with that there really isn't much more I can say as I don;t wish to give anything away.

As always thanks for reading and please drop by on Sunday to see the end results of mine and Zebulons week of toil and hardship (over the toip again isn't it?).

Blackmane & Zebulon Versus Challenge: Jump Pack Chaplain

Myself and Blackmane were chatting (as we tend to do) and we both had the desire for the Jump Pack Chaplain, for Blackmanes Sky Claws and for my up coming game im taking a 10 man Assault Squad and I thought a chaplain would be a handy addition.

Coincidentaly we both suggested about doing a kind of versus challenge, we've given ourselves 1 week and both the same Finecast model to make them as different and as army themed as possible. The official start time is 5pm GMT today and the finish post is the same time next Sunday.

This will hopefully be the first in a series of these to showcase our painting and let us paint the stuff we think is awesome but dont have any real gaming use for, I know Blackmane wants us to do the Khorne Lord on Juggernaut next lol.

So we're under starters orders...
Zebulon
