Cavemans Painting Process

Hello once again from Texas guys,

I apologize for the wait - I got a little sidetracked

While you are viewing the pictures you will notice that I have used  multiple models to convey this process to you. This was to help get me started working on them as well as giving you a chance to see my other models as well. Each of these models has 9 steps to achieve the final result. I will give a brief description for each picture as I go.
Keep in mind that this process is only a suggestion for painting Vampire Counts. You may mix and match colors if you think they look nicer.


Caveman's Vampire Counts Painting Process Step 1 - Basecoat any metal items (armour, weapons,and shields) Charadon Granite.

 Caveman's Vampire Counts Painting Process Step 2 - Drybrush Tin Bitz over the Charadon Granite.

 Caveman's Vampire Counts Painting Process Step 3 - Drybrush Boltgun Metal over the Tin bitz.


Caveman's Vampire Counts Painting Process Step 4 - Basecoat any bone Astronomican Grey - Anyone who has Primed their models White may disregard this step.


 Caveman's Vampire Counts Painting Process Step 5 - Paint Skull White over the Astronomican Grey.

 Caveman's Vampire Counts Painting Process Step 6 - Wash Devlan Mud over the Skull White.

Caveman's Vampire Counts Painting Process Step 7 - Paint any cloth Ice Blue.



Caveman's Vampire Counts Painting Process Step 8 - Line highlight any raised areas on the armour with Ice Blue and wash Asurmen Blue over the cloth and attach your shield (if so equipped).

Rear view of finished model.

Please let me know if you like the models - I will be posting other types of models as I get around to painting them. If you want any suggestions for other armies - let me know. Until next time my friends, Peace Out!!!

Cavemans Painting Process

In a hope to revitalize my interest in blogging I am going to post a step-by-step process with pictures of how I paint different types of models. Since I am currently working on my Vampire Counts army - I will be posting pictures of me painting one of my Grave Guard. But before I begin I will post the finished product so you guys can see how its going to come out. While I will not be able to post pictures of it today, I would like to like to ask you guys what you think of my pictures so far. While I know I'm not as good as others, I want to ask your honest opinion. This is getting to be a frightfully one-sided blog. I've only had 1 comment out of all of the pictures that I've posted and that wasn't even by a member, It was by a guy who was looking online for others who had done Necron conversions.

More Pic's from the Caveman

I almost forgot about these models the other day-Its just been so long since I finished them that I forgot to take pictures of them along with my other models.

This round of pictures consists of a few pic's of a regiment of Plague Censor Bearers from my Skaven Army, a small regiment of Dwarves from Lord Of The Rings, my Cairn Wraith's from my Vampire Counts army, and a Canis Wolfborne model from Space Wolves. Again-If you like the way I painted them-feel free to ask me the process that I used.

Picture1 and 2- Plague Censor Bearers



Picture 3 - Dwarves















Picture 4 - Cairn Wraith's















Picture 5 and 6 - Canis Woflborn















I should be posting some more models again soon - My current project is my Skeletons and Grave Guard from my Vampire Counts army. I hope to be finished with them within the next month. Until then - Happy Painting!!!

New post from the Caveman

Hello from Texas my friends,
Wow, has it been a long time since I've posted on here. I cant say that I've been busy or just not wanted to post anything. Because if I did, It would not be true. It seems like I have just stopped doing much else except painting models but I can say that I have finally been able to start getting some good pictures of them at least. Granted I'm not sure if they are going to let me post this many pictures in one post-but I'm hoping they do. Also-If you have any questions about my painting process-feel free to ask in a comment.

In these pictures you will find a large amount of my Skaven Lords/Heroes and Unit Champions. A few pictures of my newest army- Vampire Counts. A picture of my Lord of the Rings Lord and Hero from my Dol Guldur army, and a few models from my 40k Armies Necrons and Grey Knights. I hope you enjoy them.

First-since they are my favorite army-My Skaven are leading the way.
Picture 1 - Thanquol And Boneripper















Picture 2 - Ikit Claw and Deathmaster Snikch















 Picture 3 -Qweek Headtaker and Sqweel Gnawtooth















 Picture 4 - Old Stormvermin models that I am using as my Battle Standard Bearer and a Warlord with 2 hand weapons















Now moving on to Vampire Counts.
My idea for the color scheme came because every other V.C army I have ever seen has been a red or black color scheme-so I decided to do something different-I think you guys will like this one

Picture 1 - Konrad and Vlad von Carstein
I decided on the Ice Blue color scheme from the book because it makes the models look very creepy. I'm sure you guys will agree. I cant wait to see this entire army on the table.















Picture 2 - my Vargulf

Now moving on to Lord of the Rings.
Nothing fancy on these guys, These models are from The Dol Guldur army, The Necromancer and my Wild Warg Chieftain. I love how they came out though.
















And now on to 40k.
My Necrons were very first 40k army-I am actually in the process of repainting the normal troops in preparation for the new codex. but these guys came out so nice I decided to keep them the same. the Lord character on the left is a conversion for a Flayed one.
















And last but definitely not least, my Grey Knight Terminators.


















I will be posting more pictures as I am able to finish painting them and get a nice enough day to take pictures of them. See you guys later!!!

The Return

Oh my gosh-how long has been??? Ive been doing SO many things its been almost impossible to do certain things it seems. But I can say that Ive had fun working on my Chaos Dwarves, I just played my first game with them yesterday (1,250 point game vs Lizardmen) *hangs head*  I probably killed a little under 200 of his points. But this was my first time so Im not too surprised. The only thing about the game that didn't go as well was the rolling-The dice gods were not with me AT ALL. But at least I learned a lot about my new army-I know now to bring a LOT more melee with this army-especially for the big battle coming at the end of May. Well I gtg now-sorry about the pics form the army-i still havent been able to take them-I should have them soon-Peace out!!!

Starting a conversion army-Choas Dwarves

Ever since I started my Dwarf army I wanted to give them a "Proper" nemesis. so after a lot of research into how to start to build the army and finding the old army list-the Chaos Dwarves of Naz Duronk were born-The only unit that I have assembled so far is 5 Bull Centaurs. After I do some more work on the sculpting I will post pictures for you guys. Within the next few days I will be adding in another unit so until that time-Peace Out!!!
