Good idea. Profile edit time.

Got my Tauros Venator to this point on the weekend. I want to do some decals and weathering, but I'm terrified I'm going to screw it up now that it looks kinda nice.

Also want to tidy up some of the highlighting, e.g. the visors and shoulder armour.

built a morkanaut and six kanz.

Reorged/tidied the game room.

Sorting WM/H cards into respective factions right now.

I've been painting my Dropzone Commander UCM.





On top of finishing off those UCM infantry there, I've done the main coats on both their Dropship, 2nd APC and a second squad of UCM infantry.

I've got a slight concern though. I was going for 'desert camo' which works quite well, especially with my Agrellan Earth bases. However, my dropship is looking decidedly Tau-ish. I might show it off once I get a couple more layers of yellow on it, it's looking rather patchy right now.

Necromunda, Carnevale, and.... seeing the sites and meeting cool and interesting people, while doing my cool Johnny Quest thing.

Putting more work into my Malifaux. Lilith is about halfway done, and nearly finished a Young Nephilim.

These are still the most fun models to paint I've ever worked on. So much character. Just enough detail to make them interesting but not enough to make them hard to paint.

Soaked a Land Raider I scored from a friend for some work I'd done (it was painted terribly, he'd gotten it for a steal at a convention); had it in the container with solvent for about two weeks as I'd forgotten it was there.

It's now pretty clean, looks like a heavy weathering job was done, but now it's possible to repaint the thing to BA colors. Heh.

Ordered a Knightly Orders set and a Holy Knight for PanO. Damn, haven't touched 40k in months and I'm still playing with Knights in Spaaaace!

Compel,

I'm just getting into DZC myself and I really like your work so far. The desert theme is an idea I think I'm going to steal.

I started cleaning up my game table and work table to make way for my DZC painting project then I hope to play quite a few games with my Scourge and UCM!

Sat down to paint some WE only to discover the needle on my airbrush is bent.

went through my Tyranid bitz looking for inspiration for chaos spawn. had some play with green stuff and ended up with this:
pic 1
not to much. i'm gonna have to scour Ebay for more stuff but enough for now.
genestealer legs are the best i've found so far, altough i wish i had some vargheist.
also, I found this picture (i have no idea what it is) and now i just have to try making a chaos spawn that looks like it. pic 2.

You can never escape the space knights.

Applying P3 Battlefield Brown to my Legion of Everblight... mostly working on Armor... but there probably will be other parts that need the brown

Painting Menoth warjacks at work in my breaks.

Castigator next

In the process of stock piling beastmen. I have tons of Gors and Minotaurs along with shammys and a doom bull. IDK where to go from here....

The second picture is of a demon from the video game Doom 3, it's referred to as a HellKnight, hope that nets you some more pictures via web sources!

As for my hobbiness today...I think I'll finish stripping some dreadnoughts and then start painting my Scythes of the Emperor.

The Infinity sets arrived, and wow, the quality is exceptional! Can't wait to get these guys on the painting deck! Now, can I get them done before Icestorm arrives next weekend?

Looking to get started on the armor for my Legion of Everblight today

YEAH BABY! my cataphractii terminators arrived today so i've been cleaning the flash. still got heaps to do...

Developing a new respect for anyone who has ever painted an Infinity mini and made it look good. They're great sculpts, but damn fiddly! I'd also forgetten how annoying metal is to work with, paint chipping while still working ect.

Ouch! Have you got the mini mounted on something like an old paint bottle so you don't have to hold it?

I kind of like the metal for infinity sculpts, they sculpt a lot of detail in and the metal gives you nice hard edges to work with.

Still in a mini painting funk. Having ready access to FFT is no help...

anyone have any ideas for how i should theme my (annoyingly flat) terrain board?
i'm thnking desert, with one or two rocky areas, like dried river beds.

I'm gonna do the last brush strokes on my Gargantuan Squigoth. I'd like to field that beast tomorrrow.

I have them glued to the bases and try not to touch the models themselves, but I think I might try tacking them to a bottle. Cheers!

The detail is great, I just find you have to be a lot more thorough with metal than plastic or resin. Miss a bit with the primer in the latter two and you're still OK, miss a bit with the metal and the paint chips/rubs off again, and again, and again. Maybe I'm just out of practice having not really touched metal minis for about 5 years of 40k/Deadzone.

The other thing with the Infinity minis compared to what I'm used to is there's a much smaller 'canvas' than, say, 40k or Malifaux. Every space is filled with detail, there's no real areas to throw in freehand or effects, and so I'm finding it hard in places to get them to 'pop', as it were.

Still, I've started to get some looking passable, so in theory I'll get the hang of it...

Yeah bottle tops old GW paint pots. Pp paint pots are all things I tack models onto to allow for more gripping space to prevent me holding the model. A base alone just isn't big enough.

Models with cloaks tend to have large areas for you to freehand and play about with.

I primed Cypher and a Spiritseer and will start to paint them tonight If I have some time left I will continue working on my new Grey Knights *rubbing hands*

Herdstone, Ungors, Giants, Warhounds, Tuskor Chariots, razorgors, Ghorgons, named characthers, spawn

Read parts of the End Times book and wow, I suddenly have a new found respect for those whom made it. Lord knowns its a good book. Beside that I am preparing my Germanic horde for a massive battle against the Franks tomorrow in Hail Caeseare. I am also seriosly pondering cashing out for a new Contemptor Dread for my SW

And all the first wave of InfiniMinis are done! 1 Knight of the Sepulchre, one Teutonic Knight, one Magister Knight, 3 Order Sergeants and 1 Sergeant Sniper.

In another thread it was mentioned how much washes help Infinity sculpts, and I didn't realise just how true that was until now. About 3 o'clock this afternoon I was ready to strip and redo the lot, i just could not get the armour right! I hit one with wash on a whim, and BAM, instant better-looking-ness! I'll try and get some pics tomorrow pending basing, lighting and touchups.

Now the long wait for Icestorm...

Looks at his opened yet untouched Icestorm box...

feels bad for having it so much earlier and not doing anything with it.



Definitely bring to us the pictures if your Military Orders d00ds!

I've started sorting this lot out.



Mostly just organising and sleeving cards tonight, but I did manage to separate my friends zombies from my own.
