But at least there is some paint on my General! Upon looking at my sea of gray plastic otherwise known as my Orcs & Goblins I realize there is much work ahead of me. And soooo very much fodder for Blood and Sprue!<br />
<br />
Anyways, on to the photo's. As you can see I tend to get stuck in one area. I get started with intentions of doing a base coat only and THEN doing my shading, highlights etc... but it rarely works out.<br />

I've got my bowl of cereal with bananas and I'm dreaming of that large coffee I'll inhale on my way to work. For now updating my blog will have to suffice over caffeine.<br />
<br />
Currently I'm working on applying a boss worthy paint job to my Black Orc Big Boss on Boar. I had to do a bit of chopping and did my best with some green stuff to suggest this model is an actual Black Orc and not a standard ol' grot boss.<br />
<br />
Here's what I came up with:<br />
<br />

The biggest changes I made were the Black Orc arm's, shield, basha, an Orcy looking bit on the shoulder pad and a fur cloak on his back to hide the lack of metal armor. For this model I decided to prime white. I like to black wash a white model just to make it a bit easeier to see details while painting. Makes for good photo's of conversions and such as well.<br />
<br />
That's all I have for today. I already started slapping some paint on last night and hope to continue tonight. I should have a photo or two more tomorrow morning.<!– google_ad_section_end –><br />

Granted there are several other brands on the market that some would argue are superior... <a href="http://www.reapermini.com/paints">Reaper</a>, <a href="http://privateerpress.com/formula-p3">Formula P3</a>, and <a href="http://www.gladiator.clara.net/coatd.htm">Coat d'Arms</a> to name a few. However we are here to discuss what seem to be the two most widely used brands amongst Warhammer hobbyists.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/landing.jsp?catId=cat440136a&rootCatGameStyle=paints-tools">Citadel</a> vs. <a href="http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/gb/modelling-products-gb.html">Vallejo</a><br />
<br />
I have personally used both brands of paints. Having started out painting my models with acrylic "craft paints," getting my hands on a set of either brand was a godsend for me. <br />
<br />
Coverage/Application: <br />
<br />
I would compare the coverage of Vallejo paints to that of the Citadel foundation paints. Sans a couple of the lighter, brighter colors. Vallejo Game Colors apply smoothly and evenly with little effort and thin flawlessly, especially with the aid of their own brand thinner.<br />
<br />
Citadel paints have been a hit or miss experience for me. I find coverage to be so, so unless painting over a white base coat model. The foundation line is great however. With a bit of thinning these are great for general use. I'd love to see this formula worked into the regular line of paints rather than paying extra for the foundations set.<br />
<br />
Pot/Bottle:<br />
<br />
Vallejo steals the spotlight here as well. The dropper bottle makes it very easy to mix exact paint recipes on your pallet or in another container. So long as you're prompt about putting the caps back on, these paints will not dry out. At worst you may find your self using a pin to unclog the dropper tip from time to time. <br />
<br />
Ahhhhh the dreaded Citadel pot! I don't mean to be so hard on Games Workshop... but the Citadel pots just don't cut it. The problem lies in the cap. These things just do not seal well enough. If you go any length of time between painting (which I do often) you're bound to come back to dried up paint. The design of the pots while not all that different than many others out there is also not very conducive to mixing. Once spoiled by the dropper tip you really start to wonder why anyone would put themselves through such an ordeal!<br />
<br />
Ink/Wash:<br />
<br />
Citadel has a wonderful line of wash's you can spend a pretty penny on. These are super helpful for taking basic paint jobs to the next level. I suggest everyone experiment with wash's at one time or another. But there's an easier way!<br />
<br />
Vallejo offers a line of wash's as well. Where Vallejo shines however is with this wonderful stuff called Glaze Medium. Mix a bit of this in with any of your Vallejo Game Colors and you have a full range of wash's! It has worked exceptionally well with all colors I have tried to date.<br />
<br />
Price:<br />
<br />
I'm afraid Vallejo wins out here as well.<br />
<br />
Vallejo 17ml bottle - $2.20<br />
<br />
Citadel 12ml pot - $3.70<br />
<br />
I suppose I'm a bit biased but Vallejo is just a better value for the quality and quantity of paint you're getting. I'm glad I made the switch to it. I'm never looking back!<br />
<br />
As a courtesy to all the wayward souls who are still using Citadel paints I have provided a Citadel to Vallejo paint conversion chart <a href="http://bloodandsprue.blogspot.com/p/paint-conversion.html">HERE</a>.<!– google_ad_section_end –>Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07365896485585593958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013539052534507200.post-24863752976972471592010-09-20T23:35:00.005-04:002010-09-23T08:26:26.423-04:00Finally Got Some Seatbelts for This Here Wagon...I'm back.

In the mean time, here is a long overdue photo of my Orcs & Goblins birthday cake (from May! Thanks to Amy and John!)...<br />

So recently I've dived back into the hobby part of Warhammer. Today's post will just be a quick photo update of what I've worked on in the past month or so.<br />
<br />
Orc Boyz: Built, green stuffed, primed and painting progress.<br />
<br />

Next, adding some character to Da Stunty Stompin' Boyz. I've used green stuff to sculpt dwarf bear/head trophies.<br />

</div>The 750 point list that follows is my first attempt at a mixed O&G army. Previously I've played with the Battle for Skull Pass Night Goblin list with the addition of a Spear Chukka. I had some success with the box stock list but am ready to move on to <span style="color: lime;">GREENER</span> pastures! I'll be posting the list here for the purpose of taking stock of what need's to be painted built etc... There will be no point values or stat's of any sort. I'll be avoiding too much talk of tactics as I'm still very new. You don't want my insight or advice there..trust me! I'd also like to avoid tipping off my Stuntie opponent and friend John. Who now know's the URL to this blog...<br />
<br />
Without further ado the list:<br />
<br />
Key:<br />
<div style="color: red;">Red-On the Sprue<br />
</div><div style="color: white;">White-Assembly Underway<br />
</div><div style="color: #444444;">Gray-Assembled<br />
</div><div style="color: yellow;">Yellow-Painting Underway<br />
</div><div style="color: lime;">Green-Complete<br />
</div><br />
<div style="color: white;">1 Black Orc Big Boss<br />
</div><div style="color: #444444;">1 Night Goblin Big Boss<br />
</div><div style="color: white;">23 Orc Boyz<br />
</div><div style="color: #444444;">25 Night Goblins<br />
</div><div style="color: yellow;">10 Orc Arrers<br />
</div><div style="color: yellow;">10 Spider Riders<br />
</div><div style="color: yellow;">1 Spear Chukka + Crew<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #999999;"></span> <br />
</div><div style="color: yellow;"><span style="color: #999999;">That's all I've got for tonight. In the coming weeks I hope to have this force presentable!<br />

I tend to start off quite enthusiastic, blogging just about every day. I think to myself: "must write blog, must have lot's of content." And then... Then I fizzle out. I hope to approach this particular blog differently. The idea this time around being quality over quantity.<br />
<br />
If you haven't figured out from the title yet, this is a Warhammer blog. For the most part I will be focusing on the hobby side of the game. However, you can expect to see battle reports from time to time. Update's will usually be pertaining to the status of my very gray and not so built 750 point Orc & Goblin army. In the future I also hope to document the building of terrain and possibly a table. I may even be bold enough to attempt "How To" articles at some point.<br />
<br />
If anything, I'm hoping that documenting my progress here will serve as some sort of motivation for me. I'm a lazy modeler and a slow painter! As you will soon discover.<br />
<br />
There's more to come in the very near future!Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07365896485585593958noreply@blogger.com0
