Lovely work, Jan. I especially like the ceramic look to the Nurse' mask and also the weathered, peeled paint effect on the wall behind her.

Cheers Az - glad that mask came out how I intended ti then if you recognised it Wanted that slightly shiny glazed ceramic look. The wall was a lot of fun to do. Got to play around and try out different things

I really like the improvements on the Nurse, Jan. I thought she looked a little unfinished in the painting comp last month - but you've really helped more of the details on her pop now.

Cheers Bottle. I worked her coat a lot more - especially at the bottom around the hem to make it blend more with the platform. Think it works. Flicked a little fresh blood (well BFTBG...not my own!!) on but very conservatively so as not to overdo it. Love the little speck that landed perfectly across the doll's face.

Finisjhed up a couple more Space Hulk termies and 'stealers this mont and then managed to get them and the termeis from last month photo'd up. Camera is acting up so not the best phtos but am sick of doing photos after the last 4 days of doing almost nothing but phtoos so there we go

Your terminators look awesome, Jan. Nice work!

Cheers AoV

Total fig count (incl vehicles etc):

60 /166

That's some januinely impressive progress!

Well done!
God help me if I ever make lists like that.

Lol. Cheers. Just glad the list isn't growing ........too much!!

I think you forgot one model off the list. Other side of the world yet, but still counts.

I think my list might be a magnitude larger. Better just not count, seems like I'd make myself sad.

I only count stuff I bought to actively work on in my list. Investment pieces or "I need a few years to get better at painting." I don't count.
Keeps the stress down.

Whaley - you are quite right - and it's killing me......sitting at home, in a box, lonely.........

Buttery - nice try......they still count

The list actually keeps me from going nuts and ordering/buying loads more stuff -especially all the new mechanicum stuff that FW is putting out at the mo. The only thing I'm looking at buying these days is Inq54 figs but they're beastly hard to get at a decent price if at all so I'm safe!!!!! (ish!)

Wife's off to work, dog's snoozing so time to get a little paint down. Working on Antor Delassio for this month's comp but will also start on Branatar as well in the background. Also on of the hybrids as I need to get their scheme down. They'll be of the same line as the SH 'stealers I've done but need to figure how I'm gonna adapt the scheme for the more human looking and coloured hybrids. I'll start with the oop end of the spectrum to a stealer with a 4th gen hybrid whose skin tones should be almost human but still with some not so human tones in shadows of the skin. The clothing is basically a miner's pressure suit - cheap, mass produced and worn. Thinking some sort of beige should work well.
Bases have had their initial work laid down and looking ok

Fun afternoon doing bases. Frustrating time with his face. Hair next - still lots to do there. Never painted a blonde before!!

For some one who claims to have issue with faces, this one seems to be pretty good!

Cheers Knightley. It's ok. Tempted to add a few more highlights but gonna leave it for now least I arse it up completely!

Looking good!

The perfect highlight for blonde hair is
Bleached bone > Sepia > bleached bone > watered down white and BB, or whatever the fethers changed it to.

Nice. Cheers BC. I based with tallarn sand I think. Moving onto highlights now

I actually have this on my desk because I'm doing a second Sigvald.

The face certainly does not look like you have had any issues with it. I do always find blonde hair a bit of a pain to paint, it always looks more "out of the bottle" rather than natural.

Great work on the Space Hulk miniatures too.

Looking good Jan. Looks like you're making goof progress in getting through the list.

When will you hear from the painting comp that you were taking loads of pics for?

EDC

Cheers lads. Just finished doing the silver arms on two of the DW:O marines. Little subtle sky earth glazing like I did on the ravenguard fella.

Not sure when the judging for the comp will be concluded. Another week or so I reckon. I entered four categories but the standard is super duper high so not really expecting to win. Just a bit of fun

The face is looking good so far Jan. The first step in improving it would be to mix a little red into your fleshtone and paint the bottom lip with it

Lol. Done. Noticed it as soon as I posted the pic. Just did a very pale tint. He may be a BA but I don't really want him looking like he's wearing lipstick!! How you liking Italy Bottle. Venice is just the bomb.

Nothing done all weekend. Family trip n that. So lots to be done today.
Damn list is going to grow again. Just preordered Death Masque. Stupid flgs over here sold out almost immediately of the preorders. So have had to order direct from GW. But added an inquisitional acolyte to put it over 100squids and get the free shipping and that works out cheaper than buying from the flgs an hour up the road o.O I already have a whole pile of harlie stuff so the troupers and the skyweavers as well as an extra dark vengeance boxed set I have will get thrown on eBay if I can ever figure out how to do the bloody shipping !!!

Looks like you were smarter than me and left the jump pack off the guy before trying to paint. I've fully assembled the model, so now it's gonna be a royal pain to reach everything without making a mess (barely started and it's already frustrating! ).

Yeah - I figured with the ravenguard laddie the jumppack was gonna get right in the way. I converted/altered his flamer arm as well to be away from his chest more and actually pointing where he;s looking otherwise his makes getting in there a pain

Delassio's chainsword broke during transit for me, so I've had to give him a pretty chainsword from the Vanguard kit.

Love the red on that shoulderpad. Very deep! The 3rd/4th gen hybrid in the back there is coming along nicely as well .

Coming along nicely, but what's really taking the cake is those bases! Seeing them with models, they really do set them off nicely!

Blame GW for the increasing backlog; if they didn't keep releasing awesome box sets chock full of lovely models, we wouldn't need to keep buying them!
