Thanks reaper. Adding more yellow than blue will make it more workable. I need to look into color shapers, I plan on doing more with GS.
In the mean time, here is my new toy!
A badger 175. It's a great machine. I really love the control it gives.

I have a paasche VL air brush it works great, my only criticism is the plastic tail on it as it would be really east to cross thread the plastic when screwing it back on.

Yeah, the badger has a plastic tail as well. But it has a snap off capability to adjust the needle as well as a threading. So its really accessable. For the price I couldn't argue. The airbrush i had prior was a badger and it lasted 25 years, so i know its a trustworthy brand.

1st get your self some "colour shapers" they are like paint brushes but with rubber/silicone heads on them and they come in various stiffnesses, I got the white heads and they work well with green stuff. I got a pack of 5 or 6 with various different shaped tips on them they are great and really help with working the green stuff.
!
Agreed, for tabards and cloths the white ones (soft size 2). For other stuff where the GS needs a bit more working and has a hard background, like details on armour I use either the grey (firm, size 0). I also have a favourite metal tool which is great to sharp edges.
Keep up to good work, and more updates please!

So here is some pics of the FW khorne demon prince i did for a comission a long ways back. He is still in the display case. I need to take him home and give him a matte varnish. When i do that I will take some better pics. Until that time enjoy these photos! (sorry for quality)
Funny story as well, i cut myself with an exacto at the time i was painting the blade of the axe. So the blood you see on the axe is actually my blood. I put a little bit of myself into this piece Blood for the Blood God!!

Dude! I just picked up Color Shapers too- I gotta say, they do make it easier to work with GS than standard metal ones. Now all you need is a scalpel or Xacto for fine lines so you don't displace so much material.
As for the FW Demon- I'm not usually a fan of shiny minis, either due to spray and/or paint, but I like the "wet" look on the guy. It actually suits him.
And +1 for giving effort AND blood to the model. Is all of the blood yours? LOL, holy crap! You were dabbing it on artistically, weren't you?

Thanks Izangi. I still kinda wanna take away the shine. Though i agree it suits him nicely. Kinda like hes a sweaty mess from giving the beatdown.
Yeah, the blood is all mine hahaha. I let it pool up on my finger and dipped my paintbrush in it. Kinda narsty but it makes him unique lol

Yea and it makes him more badass. I agree that the shiney parts don't distract the way that effect usually does and those skulls did turn out really nice. Great job, Chrono

So it's been quite a while since I have posted anything. Have been very busy with both life and in the gaming world. I decided to finally finish my Chaos Demons army and I also picked up a new army. DEATHWING. But I'm theming them as an elite deathwatch team. I have everything purchased for the army, just gotta get around to putting them all together.
The army consists of 25 terminators, belial and 2 landraiders. Below you will see some WIP shots of them and then a couple finished guys including the apothecary. I'm trying to make every model converted in some way. Its a long process
I also added some new units to my demons army. Below you can also see my flamers, 3 of 6 are completed. I added plaguebearers and im also working on a Tzeentch Herald. This is my first custom sculpt. Pretty pleased with how his chariot is looking.
C&C always welcome

Thanks Tortured Robot, GS is a pain, but the release of the liquid GS makes it easier to work with.
Sorry WM =( not anytime soon. I shelved the termies for some time to finish the demons for this winter painting league we got going on. I will probably pick them up when spring comes around.

All the demons are awesomely demonic and evil! I love demons so I'm biased, but the green stuff disc is especially worthy of praise as its hand made and looks proper. It reminds me of some demonic sea monster manta ray type thing...

Thanks for tuning back in Arakasi. I finished basing my Skorpekh Destroyer Lord, i really love the finished look of these guys, very unique. I printed the bases myself on my Ender 5 3D printer.
Up next I am working on my first squad of 10 warriors as well as some heavy destroyers.

Was really excited to paint this Doomscythe, I had to put everything else aside and knock it out. Super happy with the results.
I also picked up the Creature Caster death elemental model as a proxy for Nightbringer. Here is a WIP shot.
As promised, I wrapped up a test model of the Heavy Destroyers. Stoked with the look of the gradient. I am just loving this airbrush. I still have two more to complete for the squad.

What is your basing scheme going to be?

Thanks for the feedback! I have a sample here of my basing scheme for the army with my Skorpekh Destroyer Lord. I have 3D printed some tombworld bases and added some red resin crystals.

Those necrons really are gorgeous, well done! The colour transition is good, but honestly the gray/metal on the scythe is the standout for me! It's not the flashy part but the execution of it is 10/10.

Made a lot of progress in the past month or so. I was able to complete painting on my catacomb command barge. This guy was a lot of fun to paint. I was able to apply the same style from the doomscythe and it looks real sharp. I have a little overspray with the airbrush but overall i'm super happy.
I also worked through his royal escort of Lychguard. These models with the sword and board are stunning. I love how this custom dynasty color scheme translated to these fellas.
Next up are my troops that I am slogging through. I have the Royal Warden completed and commanding a squad of Immortals. I also completed a test model of my 1st Warrior blob.
On the bench is the rest of the warriors in the 10 man squad as well as another 5 man squad of immortals. Once I have these painted I will be doing basing on everything I have painted so far. If you want to check out my overall progress and see what is in the queue click the link below.

I've made some good progress on my necrons in a short time, I have about 13 units or 33% of the army fully painted and based> So I am switching over to the other half of the indomitus box and cranking out some space marines. As with most folks I get burnt out when I go too far with one project, so having multiple going at one time keeps my creative juices flowing.
I wanted to theme this army after the ever amazing Mandalorians (not the live action show, but the ones we've come to know in the animated series). These are my Deathwatch Clan Mandalorian Marines that will count as White Scars. I wanted to do something really battle worn and grungy since my necrons are crisp and vibrant. I hope you all enjoy the journey of this army as well. Thanks for tuning in!

You shouldnt get any gripes about which chapter they represent, I would have thought WS with cool helmets and the Mando Skull as their clan marking. Weathering is very nice.
Necrons certainly pop. I can't decide if I like them or not. Might be the lack of basing, but they feel unfinished with the grey being similar to a zenithal prime job at a glance. The orange-red is fantastic though

Greetings! I have been incredibly dedicated to painting almost every day, however I haven't updated the blog in quite some time. I finally got over 2000 pints of my necrons painted and based which is a good feeling.
With the new release of the Thousand Sons codex for 9th edition I have been completely reinvigorated to pick back up the project. I love playing them on the battlefield, they are highly complex but their strategy totally clicks with me. And I adore the detail of the miniatures. The lore is very amazing as well, I am nearly finished with the Ahriman Omnibus by John French, great read and I really have a Love/Hate for Ahriman.
Thanks for tuning in as always and enjoy my painting updates. The Thousand Sons project in particular really has become an opportunity to level up my painting and airbrush skills. Cheers!
