Getting some slow progress on the armour plates of my knight. Really should learn to airbrush, would make the yellow a bit easier..

Ooof yellow over black, well it looks quite nice but I imagine there was a lot of work to get it that way.

Finished popping out battle systems stuff, scatter is all assembled, I just need to build the buildings now. During the downtime that I was using to clear the sheets I'm now filling in the edges of some of the scatter with cheap markers to help disguise the fact that it's all card. And occasional superglue strengthening.

I must concur... I've done 4 House Hawskshroud knights now, and building the armor up from white is, IMHO, a much easier task than building from black....

One thing that has helped me immensely in that, is as the layer paints begin to dry up on the brush, dip the brush into your water and hit the armor again turning the paint almost into a wash. It'll take an extra coat or two, but keeping the yellows thin and moving is key to brushing something that large.

Ah. Technically that's the 4th Edition Codex.

I didn't finish the Guardians, but I did at least get the base coat of yellow and the Agrax Earthshade wash done, so now I "just" need to do the helmets (blue-blue ink-blue), armour highlights (Averland Sunset), guns (black-grey edging) and various details (soulstones, etc)... and the bases.

Oh, and I did a bit more on my two Warlocks.

Working at The Games Den this morning, then a game of 40K or two this evening at the local club in their weird homebrew campaign involving Primarchs and Daemon Primarchs in the 42nd Millenium.

Working on getting the custom foam storage for my Riptide to stay together.

Armies on Parade work

Scrambling to paint up a few last orcs and goblins for a game of Age of Sigmar this weekend.

Dear Bob, please, please I sincerely hope that is my X-Men starter set finally, finally finished being painted...

I was flocking the base tab tonight, then it's tidying up the base and, finally, maybe just maybe done.

Magneto is on the list, then I'll have my first standard game sized painted force of, well anything, since my Deadzone Plague Strike Team back in March 2014!

Painted Warwitch Deneghra (Denny2).

Today I'm going to go and pick up an eBay purchase of a Sister of Battle Imagifer, and probably make a start on painting her. I might even get some more done on the Iyanden Guardians...!

This thread is such a good idea to motivate doing even a lit bit of hobby each day

More detailing runes, and touching up Fyreslayers today.

Edited the entry of Goreshade1 at battlecollege.org. Not finished yet.

Picked up the Imagifer. Going to clean her up and undercoat her in a bit.

I'm hoping to finish off my squad of Chaos marines that I've been working on. Just started with the hobby, so the going has been slow as I'm changing and improving my techniques as I progress from model to model.

Finally decided on my next project. I have a bunch of Terrain I want to get painted up to clean out my closet....for more terrain, naturally.

Contemplating getting a Knight to fight alongside my Guard

Not painted anything for ten months, so when I painted these three I was pleased to see I still got my mojo.

Henry - those are some awesome paintjobs!

Yesterday I managed to paint the helms of my Iyanden Guardians blue, and did a bit on the Farseer, and I also undercoated the Imagifer. Next... let's see if I can paint the Eldar Guardians' body suits yellow! Wooo...!

I'm so out of the zone for painting I can't even watch the Bob Ross painting show...

Gonna work on making some extra floor and roof bits for my battle systems stuff.

i Purchased some natural hair brushes and started using them. Holy crap did they hold their point better. Which made it so much easier to control where the paint went. I am working on some khador models for a journeymen league that starts this weekend. On a side note I am still learning to control the water in my wet palette.. next time.

back to painting red.....

I spray primed my Chaos bikes, including the three that will be for my Cyclopian Cabal. I'm gonna brush prime some of the parts of those, though, as I'm painting them separately.

Today after work I am going to continue to paint my brass scorpion for my black legion. I was nervous at first but I am thinking the black armor plates and gold trim is going to look pretty bad *&#. Maybe I'll get the bodies tangled in the wires done today.

He's a very playable caster.

Going to finish up my Fireprism and Farseer on Jetbike. Just got to do the gems and some of the weapons.

Started editing the entry of Goreshade2 at battlecollege.org.
Not a bad caster.

Got 4 missions ready, plus all the record sheets and all the miniatures and all the map sheets ready for the second session of our BattleTech campaign.

Man getting this stuff organised is exhausting!

I'm slaving away on a WWII British Airborne army that I need for a big scenario our club is playing in a couple weeks. I've still got quite a bit to get painted up so I'm figuring on using the upcoming 3-day weekend to do nothing but paint.

Going to cast some tank parts for conversion work.
