My workplace

 During the visiting other people's blogs, I saw their desktops and their painting conditions. And I decided to show my working place.

Photo of the desktop after cleaning up in the room. My table is not large but it's comfortable to work here. I am spending a lot of time here. Because it is place, where I can both paint and study. I am only 20 years old. And I am studying in one of the universities of Moscow.

Here are photos of my desktop during work.

Now I am painting two miniatures, you can see them standing on the table. Miniatures are - space wolves terminator and death guard chaos space marine. As I wrote in the previous message, I am going to return to my space wolves. But I changed my mind. A few days before September, I bought pack of space wolves terminators. I started them immediately. I was impressed with their bits. All the details are different and well-casted. Moreover, there are a lot of bits. With this box of bits can be made both usual terminators and assault terminators. There are a lot of heads and weapons, and other awesome stuff.

Now three of them are painted. I will show photos, as soon as the squad is ready. About death guard miniature, it is first testing miniature. I am trying their color scheme.

Drawn icon

Few days ago, I decided to take a break from painting Space Wolves tactical squad. Then an idea appeared. And I decided to draw small picture of something, just to try. After that, I started to search easy guide of a little picture to draw it. Eventually, I saw a website, where I found several manuals of freehanding Space Wolves symbols (link below). I like that guides, because I found them useful and easy. So I tried to draw one of symbols. I chose Harald Deathwolf company symbol. I draw it on cardboard. Here are photos and some comments.

First phase. It is a finished first sketch of wolf head drawn in pencil. To make correction of my mistakes easier, I used a transparent pencil. There are no "sun" on this sketch. I decided to draw it later.

Second phase. Icon drawn with a thick pencil. I did that to make clear edges.

Third phase. Picture in colors. Firstly, I painted wolf head in black color. Then I painted background in red. And after that I drew white "sun". For that I used  games-workshop paints. Then, I drew some highlights on wolf head to make some relief.

Fourth phase. Varnishing picture. After this step cardboard became bent.

And last one step. I cut unnecessary cardboard fringes.

P.S. Here are link of a website, where you can found some guides, which can help you to draw Space Wolves symbols.  Link.

Thanks to author of these guides. They are really useful.

Necrons weekends

Today I returned back home from the country. I spent weekends there with my best friend. We played Warhammer game. Cost of my army was near 1500 points. My army was chaos space marines. That game was my first game with allies. My allies was Necrons. My friend's army was army of Ultramarines. It was funny, interesting and long game.
A little bit about Necrons. Some time ago, we decided to paint a little Necrons army. It is so, because they became really awesome after update. New units, new rules, new history etc. But the main feature is time economy. We chose easy and fast Necron painting scheme, which let us paint miniatures really fast. It was our first experience to paint miniatures fast. Full warriors squad and squad of five immortals were finished in a week. It was successful experiment. As, for example, it takes me 3-4 days to finish a single miniature. We're going to continue painting Necrons in future.

Here are some photos:

Moreover, we started painting tau xv25. I will show them a little bit later.
