Painting up a sprue of ages old (3e?) orc/goblin shields.
There's a couple of shields that I really like on it. But the odds of finding enough of that sprue out in the wild.... Not to mention the cost (I could probably just replace every goblin cheaper) & time (my goblins might never all get matching shields)....
I also considered making a resin mold. But that's more time & effort than is warranted for goblin shields.
3d printing? I can't find the shields I want/like.

So the plan is to stick the finished sprue on the scanner, edit myself an entire page of my preferred shields, & then print out as many card stock sheets as I need. (the test turned out nicely btw)

Started work on the stuff that arrived in the mail today. So far I’ve cleared out roughly $1300 worth of stuff (I kept track) and got in the mail today: 1 gaunt summoner, 6 Blood Warriors, 1 aspiring Deathbringer, a Mindstealer Sphyrinx and a SC Slaves to Darkness box. I also ordered 2 Greater Daemons: KoS and BT (and a unit of Untamed Beasts) and got in a Darkoath Queen that I’m turning into Valkia. And despite all that brought in...over a grand already turned into $$ for my son’s future college account. Makes for good investments after it’s run its course.

Today...I assembled the Chaos Lord on Karkadrak!

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

The updated Deadlands RPG KS is live, so I figure I'd *still* use it as an excuse to paint some Deadlands mini's in the queue - some as far back as 1997.

I spent about 90% of April not painting. I'm in a but of a lul and otally not motivated. I might just take that as a reason to work on other projects and build some terrain.

The WHFB/AoS Goblin rehab project continues.
Now that all the replacing of bitz/bases/missing models, stripping & priming is done? The true work of getting the hoard painted up can begin.
So I've started with a pair of ancient Leadbelcher organ guns & a Skull Crusher trebuchet. I'll work on those here Fri/Sat.
Then I'll divide the hoard in 3rds & paint about 73 models each week. 10 or so/day.
The goal is to be finished by the evening of June 4th, so any I miss on the weekly goal can (hopefully) be picked off May 31st - through 3pm of June 4th.

Painted up 14 zombies for Walking Dead game. I just lack the final dry brushing of dusty tan and applying liberal areas of gore. Will start the survivors tomorrow!

Went to a dollar tree store and picked up these:

https://flic.kr/p/2iZLDJ8

Thinking of using them as bases for my necron army in training. The sand is too red and cartoon colored, might mix it with some ochre colored sand i have.

The glass crystal look like they will generally fit in with the necron theme.

Beginning serious work on the goblin hoard.

I need to paint 13 models/day to make my goal of finishing in 3 weeks.

First 6/90 for the week done.
5 of those took quite awhile as I reinvented the wheel trying to match a paint scheme that some of the goblins already sport.
What I ended up with is really close & I can replicate it fairly fast - probably at about 10-15m/goblin. So I'll be able to crank out 20+ goblins this evening.

Working on a big pile of CSM. Turns out I should have just enough Phoenician Purple to see me through base colouring them, so I can stop worrying when my GW order is coming.

Shard of the Nightbringer. I ended up going with an aged gold skin and teal clothing. I put some teal washes into the flesh and gold highlights on the cloak to give the impression that it's a magical creature. It's the same scheme that I used for my deceiver, and that model turned out great. Both my C'Tans are metal, which means heavy and the paint rubs off easily on the edges, so I need to be careful where I hold it. I will be happy when I am done and I can clear coat it. Once again, enjoying the big old metal models tho.
