Living in Wisconsin isn’t easy. There are about 4 things a person can do for fun on a weekend. You can either see a movie, go bowling, drink, or find a hobby. Krisken found a hobby. For years he hung out at comic and gaming stores, playing Magic the Gathering and other collectable card games. Nothing ever seemed to keep his interest, though.
In the year 2001 two guys came into the arcade/comic/gaming store where he was helping out. They brought Warhammer Fantasy models and staged a battle between High Elves and Empire troops. As a veteran of Dungeons and Dragons since the age of 12, he was hooked. The first army he collected was Lizardmen. Of course, they were painted awfully, but were a good first try. Next he decided to make a Warhammer 40K army, falling in love with the idea of Eldar Iyanden Ghost army. From there he played Necron, Chaos Thousand Sons, Chaos fantasy, Darves, and Chaos Daemons.
As money became tighter, he had to decide to only collect one or two armies to use and play. To this day Krisken still paints and collects the Chaos Daemons armies and has had the chance to play them in a 40,000 point mega Apocolypse game, which he was told is measly 4,000 points were what worried the other side. He still has his Eldar Iyanden Ghost, Dwarves, and Lizardmen armies, along with a few favorite models he has painted over the years.
So here are some miniatures he has painted with some descriptions of what he has done to change them or add to them.
The following image is a model of the Blue Scribes for the Chaos Daemon army. He created the mountain base using Sculpy and formed the rock by pressing a rock against it. The scrolls are also created using Sculpy.
This model, the Lord of Change, started out painted blue, was stripped of its paint, repainted, put in a snow globe, broken out of the snow globe, and repositioned as seen here. Sometimes a model needs to be destroyed a few times before it finally feels right.
Here we have the Chaos Dragon model. There was quite a bit of work done here to enhance and upgrade this model. Each of the tentacles on the heads was a tail from Pink Horror models. Arrows were added to the wings and the banners hanging off the dragon’s wings were created using Green Stuff.
One of Krisken’s favorites, this is a Waveserpant for his Eldar army. There was no conversion involved on this model, but all of the symbols are hand painted.
This is the Soul Grinder for the Chaos Daemons army. It didn’t do much on the field, sadly.
Here is a Lizardman Saurus Standard Bearer. The bases for the whole army are painted in a water and swamp motif.
This is the Slann Mage Priest.
This is the Necron Monolith. The base unscrews from the model and the top piece lights up. This army has a lava base, which is hard to see from this model.
Wish this image was better, but it is still a nice looking model. The loin cloth is made of Green Stuff and the weapons have magnets to be interchangeable. The face painted is on all 3 Wraithlord and all 25 Wraithguard models.
Well, that’s it for now! Any comments or critiques are welcomed. Krisken will happily reply to them all.
