Doing up the bases for the last few bits and pieces for my Kings of War night stalkers.

Always harder than one thinks to match colours when some of them are mixed paints, so best to do as many at the same time as possible.

Painting mini's!

Miniatures are from Battle System's "Core Space: First Born" and Ravenkeep's "Incantris" games. Ravenkeep still has its Terra Tiles pre-order open, btw.

If you look closely, that's my $60 magnetic wet palette that comes with a free flea collar. 😄

Did a bit, a lot of priming and began painting ten of twenty Mantic Plague zombies, using washes and contrast paints which is speeding up the process quite a bit. I'm beginning to warm up to contrast paints a bit more.

Painting the Rokkit Boy from my ork Kill Team.

He earned his paint the other night by killing two Tau & dishing out enough splash damage to account for a 3rd (if it were all applied to one model....)

Working on an escher gang. 3 wips, 7 built.

Have the kits to complete my necromunda 'murderbot' gang but they're still on sprue.

After that it's 6 doggos from the DnD 'dungeons and doggos' set - because like us, it had a greyhound. This is very much a 'fun' project. At some point I intend to get the other 2 sets and have thr full, erm, pack?

I have 2 'extreme' sculpts from privateer press (juggernaut and destroyer) that I have disassembled and stripped. I'm gonna do these again.

And then the big 'un.

1.5 into the darks - terrain, 2 x kroot warbands,1 x naval armsmen kill team, 2 x krieg kill teamd and 2 x ork kommando kill teams. And yes I'll probably be buying the kasrkin 'into the dark' set because I've waited 20 years for new models and extra terrain is always handy!

I mostly finished my zombies and assembled another Mantic Sci-Fi ruined building. I also began practising the layering/glazing skin technique taught by Zumikito Miniatures in one of his videos. Frigged it up the last time I tried, but this time seems to be doing it better. YEY.

I mostly finished my 2nd W Artel Warp Spider, I had him helmetless to practise the layering/glazing of his skin, and he turned out pretty okay. I re-watched the video and saw what I was doing wrong, so I managed to make it better than before. Then on a whim, I began on an old Hero Forge mini of Anargrin and...I'm really happy with him. It's a version of him in his youth wearing black leather armour, which was quite detailed, so it was an excellent practice for edge high lighting, might post pics soon. Then began working on the third Warp Spider.

Painting daemons so they would be at least battle ready next weekend's tournament. Tzeentch elements got pretty well so doing khorne elements now.

Cleaned and assembled the four Winter Guard models for Marvel: Crisis Protocol.

Glued a bunch of skulls to the bases of my Bloodcrusher & Fleshhound unit champions.

I bought a whole bunch of old-school Nuln Oil (it was the gloss version which worked out well, actually) and other washes yesterday as we'd gone to a nearby city. So I brushed up on my Necromunda tiles and one of my Mantic buildings. Needless to say, it used a lot of wash, but they look good.

Down to my last 10 models to paint, death rattle skeletons. Glad to be getting back to in control of the projects instead of dreading them.

Almost finished painting my remaining three Artel W Warp Spiders. Batch painting them, I'm glad I finished the 1st three so I didn't have to batch paint all six. Was hoping to finish them, but just couldn't make it. Will finish them tomorrow!

Finally finished painting the Into the Dark walls and caps. Still need to finish the Ancient Apparatus sprue; so far that stuff is just primed.

Practically finished my W Artel Warp Spiders. I'm quite happy with them. I began basing them and it seems I might not need to dry brush them as the new Seraphim Sepia formula sinks into the recesses enough.

I also finally assembled my old 2nd generation Failcast Lelith Hesperax mini I ordered off eBay a month or so ago, and...she is a really nice mini. Even nicer than I thought, whoever sculpted her knocked it out of the park, I think.

Got bored with my escher. Put them aside for the moment.

Doing the terrain for "into the dark'. Thinking of getting my necromunda terrain and doing a repaint so that I have a similar/consistent scheme for all of it.

I have double-sized kill teams for kroot, krieg and ork kommandos along with a single-sized kill team of navy breachers. They're next.

My twenty-robot Anvil minis arrived today and I assembled them. They are very nicely detailed resin, their proportions are...strange. Only three heads tall, which is alright for robot minis but makes me hesitant to buy human minis from them in the future. But the robots are perfect for my Space Station Zero campaign. I primed one with leadbelcher spray and tried to paint over it with Ultramarines Blue contrast paint, which...didn't look good, so painted it with leadbelcher again and went over it with Drakenhof Nightshade, which looked better.

Primed some fantasy models.

I have been painting battletech all day, it’s been fun. And different as I normally don’t do much mech stuff at all.

But my fingers hurt, so tomorrow we are building mordheim warbands.

And the very start to a new undead army for fantasy.

Had a run at Kill Team, seen it but never played before. was donated some Necrons as my opponent had worked out some factions in advance to save me digging through my far too small collection of 40k stuff

one win, one defeat, have to say its not a bad little game and the way they have cover working is nice, avoiding the whole "-1 to hit!" stuff that can be troublesome on a d6 system

enjoyed it, may dig my Tyranids out next time

Taking a break from Kill Team stuff to work on some Nighthaunt. Assembling a few Chainrasps today.

KASRKIN!

Sadly, my Marksman's cloak was missing.

Some priming. I painted odd bits here and there. I also began on a metal animoo sword girl Reaper mini that'd been lying around primed for ages. I thought she'd be an excellent practice for skin and faces, and she turned out...okay. I painted her chin a bit too white, so at some angles, she looks chinless lol. Try to fix that tomorrow.

In the process of painting Massive Darkness 2 Hellscape. Currently about to prime some undead.

Putting together a 500pt Age of Sigmar list. (Cities of Sigmar)

Man 500pts doesn't get me much. Of course my opponent will also be feeling the pinch. But he's playing the new Tzeentch book, so he might be able to summon something....


edit: Well. That turned out to be a one-sided battle. Victory went to the defenders of Hamerhall.

Other than that? I've finally finished cleaning up & priming 12 Drukhari Medusa.
Lord I hate finecast.

Painting Kasrkin

Built and Penitent Engine and a Necron Skorpekh Destroyer Lord. I love the Destroyer Lord but Ive been really enjoying building the SoB models from Imperium.

Finished assembling the Necron Kill Team and a Royal Warden. Got them all primed. Going to test out a scheme with the Warden.

I did a bit. Began (finally) on one of my GW Eisenhorn minis. The detail on his chest is indistinct, so I zenithal primed him, which was the first time I used it and allowed the detail to stand out. I also practically finished my robot Anvil minis. Primed them Leadbelcher and went over them with Drakenhof Nightshade then went over their eyes with red contrast paint and they look great. Makes me think of the Terminator. Especially the skull mask faces.

Finished my anvil robots and Mantic cyborgs for my eventual Space Station Zero campaign. Then I did more work on my 2nd Eisenhorn and...frigged up his face a bit. And now it's dawning now how little detail he has on his chest. I hoped putting on seraphim sepia would show it more but it only looked marginally better. Don't know if that's because of the Failcast or I because I primed him too close earlier. So, sadness :(
