Well I totally messed that up, I started the minotaur before I saw you post lol! Gobbos will be next though!

Thanks for sharing
Appreciate it!

Adorable until they swarm you and suck your blood dry lol!

So as noted I kinda jumped to the big guys instead of going up a size, whoops!

Got one done, two more to go and then onto the goblins.

He looks great so all is forgiven! . Am I right to assume the others will be coloured differently? It’s a theme that’s worked so far, so hopefully they are

Thanks! Yeah they have a lot of character for sure. I wish I had the inclination to put tattoos or other freehand on them to really use all that open space that today's minis lack.

Yes the different colors has been working quite well, so I'm continuing that trend, but I had to really think about how to use all the different browns!


Clubotaur #2, the clubbening.


Axeotaur #1, the choppening.


All three of the minotaurs romping in the fields...


... and one glamor shot of them in their subterranean home.

Next up, gobbos for gobert!

Great job MegaDave, the continuing theme of different skintones/fur is really helping to distract from the replicants! Was the Axeotaur a conversion including the skull on his belt buckle?

Axeotaur was actually an alternative sculpt, I'm not sure if he's the minotaur boss or just for kicks.

Thanks! It's pretty simple, stormhost silver with a agrax earthshade shade followed by a null oil shade.

Managed to get some work done today on the greenskins. Figured it was an easy/messy stage so I just did all the skin at the same time. The orks will get darkened up a bit to keep the goblins the lightest.

I tell you what though, warboss green over black is a pain, almost as bad as yellow. Took 3 coats to get a solid color!

Thanks! I should probably do that, I just wasn't expecting to be that rough of a start haha!

gobert wrote:Cool, good to see progress on the gobbos. Really classic skin tone, I like it!
Thanks, you can't go wrong with goblin green!

Finished up the skin on everyone tonight. It's hard to tell in the pic, but the orcs got a second shade of biel tan green while the goblins got a light brush of ushabti bone. The contrast between their skin is a little more apparent in real life.


Started working on the weapons for the gobbos, I'm going to stick with making them all different colors, been working for me pretty well so far, no need to mess up a good thing!

Keeping up the punishment with a bit of yellow over black . The multi-coloured approach looks as though it’s continuing to work well

Will do, after I finish all my homework for the weekend. College papers really get in the way of painting goblins!

gobert wrote:Keeping up the punishment with a bit of yellow over black . The multi-coloured approach looks as though it’s continuing to work well
Yes, I hate myself, obviously!

On a totally unrelated note, I managed to score an original land raider for my 2nd Ed. Iron Warriors!

Here she is in all her Rogue Trader glory!


Obviously there's a bit of battle damage and some thick paint that needs removed, you'd think the blood angels of all chapters would take better care of their relics...


Luckily I had an old coffee can sitting around waiting to be used for my sector mecanicus project, which fit the tank perfectly.


I'm just hoping her machine spirit can forgive me for drowning her in purple power!


The other "nice" thing about this model is that it finally gives me an excuse to buy some blue stuff to clone the heavy bolter and lascannons, since there was only one pair. Excited to strip that paint and get started!

Thanks,

MegaDave

Nice! I’ve got one of those laying around somewhere. You’ve also cleared up what the random heavy bolter I have in the bits box is from! Good luck cloning the lasguns; iron resin within, iron Oyumaru without!

It will be fun to see the LR develop. And love the shot of it in purple, that can was made for this task

Green hordes are coming along nicely. And good call with the Ushbati Bone drybrush. May try that sometime, when I need to paint green skin.

Yeah sadly the Oyumaru and millilut didn't work out for me, it was close but didn't quite fit the bill.

Hah yeah the can is perfect for it. Thanks, I liked the way the skin turned out.

Been busy with school and house hunting, so painting hasn't been much of a priority. Move into the new house in a few weeks, and I have 3 weeks of from school! Exciting times!

So here's the land raider, all cleaned up and painted silver.


Since I wasn't able to clone the lascannon sponson, I simply bought another MK1 land raider.
It was in pretty bad shape, it looks like 3 layers of paint.

Into the can of stripping!!!


I figured I'd use the pieces from the new one to get all the parts for the original, and I'll learn how to cast rubber molds for the new one using the extra bits. I think it's a good plan???

Not shown but I painted all of the boots on the goblins black. They're boots, you don't need to see them.

It is so great to see that old school land raider again. I am looking forward to you giving it new life and getting it back onto a tabletop somewhere. Thanks for the action shots of the stripping. I've used Purple Power and had pretty good results with metal minis (although it still took me a lot of scrubbing and scraping to get the gunk out of the recesses) but I have not tried it on plastic. Glad to see it works without damaging the plastic.

The land raider looks good in silver. It’s a shame the Oyumaru and milliput failed, but yay for another Land Raider! I find it quite tricky making parts, my best results came from pressing into the two sides of the mould separately then pressing them together. The hard bit is getting the amount in each side correct. You either end up with too much so the parts end up too big or too little with gaps. Your solution of Cannibalisation of parts is a long tried and tested military process anyway, so good luck!

Hah, it's a sad sack landraider for sure. I'll get her fixed up eventually.

Yeah it didn't hurt it at all, and the stuff it couldn't get I used easy off oven cleaner and that took care of the rest.

Yeah that and the milliput isn't as sturdy as I'd like, much too brittle for the lascannons long term.

Spent some more time on the gobbos, they're starting to get there. Very colorful little fellas!


Land Raider has gotten its tracks all muddied up. Did the first pass with Typhus Corrosion and then followed up more heavily on the outside with Stirland Mud.


After it dries I'm going to give it a good drybrush, but that mud takes forever to dry so done for the night!

Thanks,

Ah, the classics...making copies of small pieces of the old plastics can be done with resin and a rubber mold (they are also simpler than the very detailed plastics GW releases now). Just make certain you have one to use as a template.

Good luck.

Those are some fancy gobbos, the coloured bows work really well. I’m loving how the simple colour changes are making these all look different despite being batches of the same mini. Great work!

Been a little busy the last 9 months, didn't realize I had been gone that long. Bought a new house, bought a new car, started a new job and started taking some more classes so I've been a bit busy. It was one of those structurally sound houses that needed a ton of interior cosmetic work.

So I finally got to drag out the paints, got a little work done on the old land raider. Mud is done, just need to finish the black parts to get ready for the hazard stripes. Hopefully I can get back to painting on a more regular schedule.



Thanks,

MegaDave
