This is the Eldar farseer that won second place in this year's IPMS sci-fi miniatures category. This miniatue is made from resin by Games-workshop. Below are some step by step pictures on how I painted this mini.

Non-sense: Busy week....

Well, it's been a busy week for me and my girlfriend moving our stuff in our new apartment. So I won't be having some time with the hobby until everything is alright. I'll just post some pictures of our new crib and my new work space.

Brain Freeze: Turning the mood on....

"Do you want me to spice up your mood?" 

Don't worry, this is still a hobby blog; not some fancy, super hot, porn site. My topic for this week's Brain freeze is about mood - painting mood to be precise and not sex mood :P. So sit tight and relax, let me tease you a lil' bit.

WIP: Wave Serpent part 2

After a week long of painting, below are pictures of my progess so far as of this Saturday (Aug. 24, 2013). If you haven't been following this thread, here is the link for the first part of this journey:

WIP: Wave Serpent part 1

This is not going to be about The Carpenters; this is about what I've begun - and so... we've only just begun. This week, I'm working with one of my Wave Serpents, who'll be my guinea pig for my first vehicle to be painted using an airbrush. So, wish me luck....

Warp Spider Exarch

Adding to my gallery... The Warp spider Exarch from the shrine of the Web of Infinity...

Brain Freeze: Keeping me busy

Bad ass mother fucker ..!..

These past few days, I've been busy watching a lot of video tutorials about Adobe Photoshop CS5 to create a logo for my blog. As from the picture above, this is what I've done so far. Cool right? hehehe. I know that for those of you who uses Photoshop for a living, this is just a simple thing to do; but for me this one big leap. 

Brain Freeze: Warhammer 40k Initiates tournament

Warhammer 40k Initiates tournament

This event is held at Neutral Grounds Centris, which is currently our local supplier of plastic crack, sponsored by Lito Tan AKA "Oberon" basically for newbies with no tournament experience at all. This is 750 point game tournament played on a 4x4 table. The event is organized by some of our local vets such as Luigi, Pat Chua, and Emcee. The event was attended by 16 participants.

A very gorgeous looking guy painting an
awesome lookin mini.

I was so lazy the past few days and wasn't able to look for something to inspire me to paint. Most of the time I just spent precious minutes looking at the mini, trying to jump start my mood; which unfortunately didn't work. 

WIP: Eldar Warp Spider Exarch 1

After a week full of Nurgle's love, I was able to start painting my Warp spider Exarch yesterday to reach my painting goal this year. To give you my brief idea of my goal for this year, it is to be able to join this year's GT with a fully painted 1500 point Eldar (which of course if the points cap for the tourney is 1500 points). This will serve as my motivation to paint.

Nurgle's Love

Me love you lonnnggggggggggggg time!!!!

This isn't about me painting Nurgle, not even the photo above is mine. This is about being embraced by big papa Nurgle last week that's why I didn't get to paint anything. I was having a very bad sinusitis which triggers my asthma, which also triggers my skin asthma!!! WTF.... Talking about being a plague bearer. :)

My supa' Painting Technique....

I won't tackle much of the basic painting techniques (you can check out the "Cool blogs" at the right side of this page for reference), but I'll provide you my own personal style of prepping a mini for painting and painting. This is not a "must do", but this is just how I do it.

Welcome! Bienvenidos! Добродошли! Aloha! ようこそ! tuloy po kayo!

Welcome everyone to my blog. 

People commonly know me by my handle "kuneho", so for those of you who don't know, I'm Ian and I've been a GW plastic crack addict since 2000. I have played lots of armies through my entire addiction: Imperial Guard, Khorne, Tau, Necrons, Tyranids, and my currenta army... Eldar.

They're sexy and they know it!!!

I used to be a pure gamer and doesn't care much if my figs are properly painted or not as long as I would be able to play. But I had a sudden realization that this hobby is freakin' expensive, and I won't be playing this game my whole life. So instead of focusing on just pure gaming, I studied and learned how to paint using different media: books, magazine, and the best of all... the INTERNET(best media ever created). I also learned from other local painters such as Jun Ubay, Paul "the pork" Borja and the Borja brothers, Paul Lim, Jeff Jonko, Dan Tesoro, and other great local players and painters who inspired me to paint (sorry if I forgot to mention your name). But my current painting style is mostly influenced by Jun "Junex" Tan and Karl AKA bakerofish, learning glazing, wet blending, OSL, and other awesome painting techniques that I acquired. 

But this blog is not just for me, it is for everyone who wants to learn more about the hobby, learn some painting tricks that I learned and use from the great painters from around the interwebs and local painters, and entertain you with my sheer blinding sexiness and good looks. 

So this is an advance THANK YOU to everyone who'll be visiting my blog. ♥♥♥
