See ya 2013, welcome 2014

Hallo Liebe Leser


Ja wir haben schon Ende Januar und erst jetzt schreibe ich meinen ersten Blogeintrag 2014.
Die letzten Wochen seid Weihnachten waren geprägt durch ein schlimmes Tief und Krankheit.

Nun ist es aber wieder soweit. Ich habe mich gefasst und erhole mich langsam und das Tief geht jeden Tag ein kleines bisschen mehr davon :)

Rückblick:

2013 war im Grunde ein erfolgreiches Jahr für Jay's Wargame Painting.
Es gab mehr Anfragen als ich bewältigen konnte, es waren mehr Figuren als ich dachte und jede Menge zu tun.
Das Jahr startete mit der großen Tau Armee. Eine wirklich schöne Armee mit vielen Optionen, tollen Ideen und einem doch sehr anspruchsvollen Farbschema. Es war ein wirklich schöner aber auch schwieriger Auftrag, denn weiß ist nicht gleich weiß sondern 6 verschiedene Weiß die das Gesamtbild dann ergaben.


Danach begann der nächste Auftrag, bzw. mehrere gleichzeitig :)

Project Empire Nordland #5 - The Special Characters

Hello :)

And here we go with Part 5. In this Episode i Show you the 4 Special Characters for the Nordland army. We have Leitpold the Black from Forge World, Marius Leitorf, Valten MK 3 painted as Warrior Priest and finally the Army Standard Bearer Ludwig Schwarzhelm.

All the Characters were painted in the Nordland Color Sheme instead of their normal Colors but Valten.

All in all in this Miniatures i invested many time to make them outstanding from the Normal Troops. My Favorite is Ludwig Schwarzhelm with this massive Banner.

So lets have a look...

Hallo :)

Und weiter geht's mit Teil 5 der Serie. Heute zeige ich euch die Spezial Charaktere für die Nordland Armee. Wir haben Leitpold den Schwarzen von Forge World, Marius Leitorf, Valten MK3 als Kriegspriester und den Armeestandartenträger Ludwig Schwarzhelm.

Alle Charaktere wurden statt ihrer normalen Farben in den Farben Nordlands bemalt, außer Valten der andere Farben bekam.

Ich habe etwas mehr Zeit in diese Modelle investiert um sie deutlich vom Rest der Armee abzuheben. Mein persönlicher Favorit ist Ludwig Schwarzhelm mit seiner riesigen Standarte-

Nun mal zu den Bildern....

Project Nordland # 4 - The Orkanium / Luminarium

Howdy Folks

Off we go with the next part of the Series about the Nordland Army Project. This time we take a look at the Orkanium & Luminarium. Both Versions are makable with only one Modell which is the cheaper Version than to buy 2 Boxes ;)

As i started this Modell i thought to take magnets to assemble both tops,but during the Assembling i found out that it is much easier just by stick them to the top instead of complex magnetisations. For my dear customer it was very necessary that he can remove the Top for easier Transport.

The painting is Close to the General Color sheme of Nordland with its blue and yellow Colors. To make sure to see its a "Magic wagon" i used the 8 Colors from the "winds of Magic" here and there. The inside got a bit detailing by painting all books in several Magic Colors and some "letters" as freehands on them.

The Chains between the horses and the wagon were cut off and i took some medelling chains to fit it together as the wagon and the horses are in a curve angle.

The first TOP is the Orkanium with all the Colors of the Winds of Magic on it on the Planets. The second TOP is the Luminarium where i just used simple Colors and took an Special eye on the lenses. I painted them very highly White Metal and then made a wash out of the Basic Color with a drop of turquise and led it flow softly in the lower right "corner" and so the effect of "glas" was established.

The Mage and his helper are painted seperatly and i forgot to make some pics of them :S

so here the Pics....

Hallo :)

Und weiter geht's mit dem nächsten Teil der Nordland Serie. Diesmal schauen wir uns das Orkanium / Luminarium an. Beide Versionen sind aus einem Bausatz bau bar, ohne das man einen zweiten Bausatz benötigt, was Geld und Zeit spart.

Project Empire Nordland #3 - The Mages

Hello Dear Followers

It's time to go on with the Series about the Empire Nordland Army.
In this "Episode" i talk about and Show you the Mages for that Army. We have all in all 4 Mages on foot, 1 Mage on Horse and one on the Orkanium. In this post you will see 3 of the Mages on Foot, as the 4th is still WIP as the one on Horse and for the Orkanium.
My Customer wanted to have Mages using the Force of Light, but during the painting Progress we changed a few Things on the Paintings to make them more outstanding from the Army and of course more eyecatching.
So on the desk we had 3 Games Workshop Mages in that stage. Alle got a very lightning Color sheme with bright Colors and detailed staffs and books etc. One mage was painted with a metallic cape with stars on it to look like the nightsky. The others have been painted with a very bright Blue White capes, but changed later on during the Progress.
I tried some new things on thoses both as i used things for Nail Art as they are very usefull to make some extra Details as seen on the Banner for the Inner Circle Panther Knights ;)

So lets have a look :)

Hallo liebe Blogger

Es ist wiedermal Zeit weiter über die Nordland Imperium Armee zu sprechen

Project Empire Nordland #2 - The Knight Panther Inner Circle

Howdy :)

Welcome to the second Part of my Mini Series about the Nordland Empire Army. This time i take with you a look on the Inner Circle Panther Knights. A Squad of 15 Knights with the typical Panther Cloak and the fine Heraldry of a lil decadent Order of Knights.

The Basic Colors are the typical blue and yellow. But in that case and the Story behind the Inner Circle of every Order i pushed a step further. Let me explain a bit. In the middle Age the most famous and of course the richest Knights had blueisht Plate Mails. It was an Special Kind of Plate that was harder but more flexible as the blacksmiths used a Special technic to make this which in final colored the Iron blue. Those Plates were massively expensive and only the best and richest Noblemen were able to buy them.
So i decided it would be great to have a Squad of Inner Circle Knights who are the noble in perfection. So all Knights Plates in that Squad are blue metal. To give the contrast needed i added some parts of Gold, especially on the helmets to make them just a bit more outstanding. The Cloak with the typical colorsheme of a Leopard/Panther brings the final Flair to that Unit. The cloaks i had to use were those from Games Workshop instead of scratch build some different ones caused on the customers wish.

The horses got also some extra detailing on their cuirass. So all together makes an outstanding Unit for me.

lets have a look:)

Hali Hallo :)

Willkommen zum 2. Teil meiner Mini Serie über die Nordland Armee des Imperiums. Diesmal betrachten wir den Inneren Zirkel des Panther Ordens. Eine Einheit aus 15 Rittern mit vollem Kommando mit den typischen Pantherumhängen und der feinen Heraldik eines Inneren Zirkels.

Die Basisfarben sind typisch Blau und Gelb. Allerdings wollte ich in diesem Fall die Sache noch etwas weiter treiben um die Dekadenz eines so elitären Ordens und speziell deren Inneren Zirkels hervor heben. Kurze Erklärung: Im Mittelalter hatten einige besonders gute Ritter und reiche Lordschaften eine "gebläute" Rüstung um ihren Stand hervor zu heben.

Hallo liebe Freunde

Es ist eine ganze Weile her das ich etwas auf diesem Blog gepostet habe. Einige mögen sich gedacht haben : " malt er noch ?" Die Antwort ist JA er malt noch :) Ich habe die letzten 12 Wochen genutzt um dieses großartige Imperium Projekt voran zu treiben und dabei entschieden das Bloggen zu sparen um mehr Zeit für das Projekt zu haben.
In den nächsten Tagen werde ich nun aber endlich Schritt für Schritt über dieses Projekt; Armee des Imperiums aus Nordland berichten.

Lasst uns mal schauen was dieses Projekt alles beinhaltete und noch kommen wird. Wir haben einen Schwerpunkt auf Nordland mit massiven Teilen von Panther Rittern:
