Orlygg Goes Podcasting

As you may know, I have been fiddling around in my workshop with the lighting and cameras that I own trying to take better images of my work. I'm still getting some shadow here and there but at least the colour is coming through in greater vibrancy. 


I've been trying to take some snaps again. See what you think with the little range of figures I've posted here.? All were painted last year are really need so suitable scenery to pose alongside. But then you'll know I'm trying to do something about that.

This post finds me dragging myself away from my new found love of early '90s Warhammer modelling nostalgia to type a few words about a podcast I was invited to contribute too. Quite why anyone would want to listen to me froth at the mouth about this blog, my hobby endeavours and my adventures interviewing Warhammer celebs over the years baffles me. But Matthew McLean over at the Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast seemed keen. 

And so it happened.

If you are interested in my disjointed and apocryphal ramblings then follow the link to Matthew's site. There is loads of content to be found there including podcast interviews with many of the hobby giants this blog often references. Finding myself amongst them even in a small way is incredible and thoroughly undeserved. 

Here's the link.

You know how I love the Skeleton Horde! I'm also keen on this Errol Flynn type paladin I painted last year. I was never happy with the way I captured him and my fledgling metallics. I think I've done a better job here. 

Gandalf, Gollum and Bilbo. These models saw me turning a corner last year by being respectable attempts at a paintjob. 



I am busy working on the next of the Dave Andrews and Phil Lewis Modelling Workshop projects as we speak. I've built four of the smaller townhouses using the article in White Dwarf 131. Two are ready for painting while the remaining models are more experimental. I'm aiming to build something closer to the variants published in WD 130 alongside the cottage model.

Hopefully lots to show off soon.
