Cheers Graven, yeah I picked him, Harley and Ivy up when the said they were going direct only.

I managed a few minis over the weekend, this might be it though until the end of November as I'm busy every weekend from now onwards mostly working sadly

So first up we have another Bloodwretch from Malifaux completing the Neverborn side of the starter.

He's kind of a bit basic but I'm really happy with him.



And today I fancied painting a skeleton so I dug out one of the Darklands minis from the Jutes, this is Sigheard, Ord Wihtgär







I really enjoyed painting him with his rusty armour and purple cloak.

There should be a cell phone in the hand of the bloodwretch figure. ( know nothing about the figure or game, but if your going to paint him like a teenager...)

Beautiful work, really nice feel about them. Nice deep colours. Love it.

I actually found some spare time this weekend and painted up two out of three of my Drēaguth Warriors from Darklands.

First we have Cynobog









And this is Wictred







Hopefully these will be my entry into Para's monthly painting comp if I can get the third finished in time.

Oooh eye candy! I like the cloaks alot! That purple mmmm

Big fan of purple and you do yours very nicely. What's your formula?

Cheers Archer, my secret formula is below

From black undercoat
Base coat of Vallejo Black/Hexed Lichen 50% mix
Highlight with Vallejo Hexed Lichen
Final highlight P3 Murderous Magenta

This will most likely be the last update for a while from me as of next weekend I'll be going into 15 hour days 7 days a week at work which could last upto a month so no time for painting or anything else

I managed to get some games of X-wing in yesterday though which was good, I managed to win both games which was cool against a good player, I've only played a few times!

First game I used Tri Interceptors and Vader and managed to pull it back from a sure loss, I was playing an A Wing, a B Wing and a new X Wing they all had some combo things going on with their abilities/load outs but I had good dice

Second game was rebels against rebels, I had Luke, Han with Chewie and a rookie X-Wing pilot he had a new X-Wing, Ghost and its shuttle, I managed to take the win without losing a ship!

Here's the mini I finished painting this weekend the last of the Drēaguth from Darklands

Aglæca, Drēaguth Champion

Super work on these undead! Great use of colour and textures.

Cheers Para, you just reminded me that I need to post these in the comp thread I nearly forgot why I painted them

Lovely purple people eater there, and nice shooting, but don't get cocky, it's not like dusting crops farmboy

Love the work on the figure Gir.... very striking and also very moody. Lovely.

Cheers Git's, good to see you back on dakka

I had some time to get some paint down on a few minis this weekend which was quite unexpected!

So first we have from Darklands Mildryth, Jute Thain







And then a mini for Frostgrave, this one is from the Heroins in Sensible shoes kickstarter, the Human Cleric by Oathsworn Miniatures





I also got my Suicide Squad starter box set for the Batman miniatures game this weekend which was cool, The Outpost also included a free MDF building as well which is an added bonus, thanks to Para for recommending them

Awesome stuff, the first one especially is great. I really need to grab a Darklands mini or two at some point...

Huh, I didn't know The Outpost were throwing in MDF stuff as well, I just went with them as they were the cheapest at the time! Double bonus, I guess! Should be getting mine in tomorrow.

I'm so jealous right now of these folk getting free TT buildings! also nice ladies.

Yeah Darklands minis are amazing best there is for fantasy I think!

Cheers Graven, yeah its really cool also got a 40k comic as well lol

I'm back with something a bit different today, this is the Temple from minimonsters.eu, excellent resin kit and really fun to paint.



Next up is something from the Batman game which will hopefully follow tomorrow all being well.

Did you add in the leaf litter and vines? They really lift the model to another level. If you did add them care sharing where you go them from?

Nice dark stone colour you have there. Good job.

Thanks Archer, yeah I did add the leaves and vines.

The vines are from Army Painter

I cant remember where the leaves are from though I'm afraid, I've had them for years!

Back again today with another painted mini

This is the Arkham Knight version of Scarecrow from the Batman miniatures game.

He's a bit basic but I enjoyed painting his leathers.





I should have another mini from the Batman game next weekend all being well, she's finished just needs basing.

You are a machine... your productivity makes me feel kinda bad... really bad as I stare at the boxes of unpainted models on my shelf.
Keep it up!

No not really

I painted the temple two weeks ago I've just been waiting for the water effects to dry in the fountain bit.

Ive only painted two minis this weekend which is amazing for me

I've got a ton of minis that need painting as well, I think its a necessity of the hobby

Fantastic work on Scarecrow, he looks brilliantly menacing.

Looks proper nasty
