I thought I could break down how I paint up these Van Saar models. It is a relatively quick and easy color scheme. It might not win any awards but I think it turns out quite ok.
first step is to spray everything in the new contrast spray paint. The grey one.
After that I cover the entire model with terradon turquoise. You get a ok coverage with these paints very quickly. If disregarding drying times, the whole step takes a couple of minutes.
Next step I mix P3 arcane blue and contrast terradon turquoise. I use this mix to paint in some surface highlights and to smooth out some of the bigger areas.
Dont mix to much at once, the paint drys very quick.
Next little project on the table is Necromunda. Since it’s re release I have wanted to get into the game. But thanks to different circumstances I haven’t had the possibility until now.
I have not played a single game yet but I have a feeling that this game is up my alley :) .
In the background, in between the commission and the Word Bearers Land Raider, I have been working on my second Thanatar. I really enjoy painting these big robots. The first one is more of a conversion so it is nice to also have the original model as well.
Parallel to the commission, I have painted up a word bearers land raider. I can’t really get my head around this force at all. Half of the time I just want to sell it all off. And other times I get super inspired to continue. I keep adding to them so slowly the force grows in size. I will try to put the force on the battle field soon so I can feel the power of the dark gods ;) .
With the last brush strokes on the Land Raider the commission is finished. I like how they turned out. Almost makes me inspired to make my own force ;) .
Most details is blocked out, first and wash is applied. Time for some transfers :) .
Next step in the Commission is started. A space wolves Land Raider. Idea is to paint this one in a similar paint scheme.
The Predators is done. I feel they turned out well. Next up is a space wolves land raider.
I believe all weathering is done. Just some lights and targeting lasers left.
Now the predators have got some wash, weathering and decals done. Next step is oil wash :) .
All colors is now blocked out. Next will be a quick was and some transfers.
I got my first ever commission. Paint 3 predators and a land raider for a friend. This is going to be fun!
Some of my followers might have already seen some changes to my website.
I am happy to announce that my home-made skirmish game “Kuggköping” is ready to be shared with the world.
The game is however far from complete. The game might never be complete to be honest. Originally, I was going to create the game and later print some hardbacks for personal use. Plans was to even send one or two copies to game developers and maybe get it published. But sharing it with the world for free seemed much better.
My hopes are that the game will get some sort of community in the future and that the game will change and develop with the community.
As I have stated on Kuggköpings about page, my intentions are to always keep this game free to down load as long as it exist on any digital platform no matter how big or small the game ends up to be in the end.
For now, the game is quite quick and simple. The game exists more as an extension of the story and as the story grow, I hope the game will do so with it.
Feel free to check the game out and please leave feedback if you like.

That didn’t take too long…haha.
So, the ten custodies is done. I have never painted gold before and I can’t say that I made a killer job on these guys. But my wife is super happy. The models looks exactly as she envisioned them and that was the whole point.
We are expecting our second daughter any day now, so when will will have time to try her beginning army out is a little in the air.
But now they stand ready once the opportunity comes.
Long time no post. Sorry for the unusually long time between posting. Mostly small stuff keeping me from posting. But the Custodes is slowly getting there. Just a small push and I will move on to other projects.
Baby steps forward. To be honest I did not expect all the small details like ropes and wires. So together with a big work load at the office and all small details that needed to be blocked out, this took some time :) .
But progress is being made every day, slowly but surely.
For a while now my lovely spouse have expressed that she is a little 30k curious.
Knowing some of the lore but nothing of the game we decided to start a small 30k force so that she could get a taste of what the game is about.
After looking at armies and art she feel in love with the esthetic of the Custodies. She still have no idea of how the legion performs or what the rules is like, but knowing her I know this will be an army she will enjoy playing, if she enjoys the game it self.
To start things of I built a small force of around 700-900 points with the core units.
Our plan is to play a couple of test games with this force and then she get to pick how she wants to continue.
I am super excited for this. It would be wonderful to have my Emilie enjoying this hobby, to go to events together and to turn this fantastic hobby in to a family enterprise ;) .
So right before my summer vacation I bought my self a summer present. I found 6 Thallax on eBay for cheap.
They missed a couple of bits here and there and had a very basic color scheme. A perfect rescue project.
And now they stand ready just in time for a game tomorrow. 2800p Mechanicum (Thallax heavy) VS Space Wolves.
Knight Banner Beta is Done :D . And that conclude my work on the grand master box. I have the terrain left to do, but I think that can wait.
I have also ordered my Reaver. Looking forward to get started on that one.
