I generally paint something on the side when I do projects. This Dark Elf from Super
Dungeons made an appearance this time around. In the link you can see the Reaper
shark pirate.

Hey, i finished my Mule last night. Next up, second unit of Steelhead Riflemen.

Mercs away!

Get em' steelheads done!



So while working on my Cryx set for a Lich Lord Venethrax Theme Force, I decided to try my hand at drybrushing bronze over green to get a nice weathered armor. The last time I tried it, I used a green ink over bronze:

It looked okay, I thought. But then I saw a different method that involved painting everything before you put down the metals, and I started out with this:

The rest is on my blog...

I'm pretty much out of the running for 100pts. I've finished one model, and it's not even from the group I originally thought I'd do it for.

Instead, i think i'm going to focus on my Mercenaries, and finish up the smattering of solos and jacks i have left unpainted. This way, when Captain Damino comes out, he's got a fully painted possee to roll with.

Awww cmon it's only the 11th you can do it, just stop waffling and start painting. GO! GO! GO!

And Malfred was the one saying it couldn't happen...

Well, you are ahead of me. I haven't finished anything yet. Though I do have a bunch with block paint waiting for detailing.
I got side-tracked by reading Nemesis, and building new DE Wyches and Raider.

Will get to my Cryx soon enough though. All is not lost.

I was always sure that I could paint 100 points of models. I just didn't have 100 points
of unpainted models from the same faction.

I'm jealous that you have time to paint....

Well, I make time. And my grades are due in 4 hours and I still have stacks of paper to go through...

eh, just give them all b+'s, and then paint more

Nah, I got the grading done. Then I woke up on Saturday and did this:

52 points up to this post. I'll put up pics of the trolls on Monday.

Remember, remember, the 15th of November... we are halfway there and I am
3/4 of the way there...

Do you dip? Models look really good.

Thanks.

I don't dip. I do use glossy inks and washes and then I seal with a satin semi-gloss
furniture spray...

Geez Malfred, way to make me feel like an under-achiever.

But seriously, good job on slogging through so many models so quickly.

and I am glad I painted a min-sized unit of ghostpirates this week...

Hopefully next week will see me with a min unit of revenants and a revenant cannon. I am lucky if I make 20 points this month

Thankfully I have Rengrave, 12 Revenants, and a Cannon done already.

Too bad all they do is sit on the shelf and call to me.

I really need to cram them into a 50pt list sometime.

how about a terminous list then big tough undead pirates all the way

But then I would need Terminus.

Not this month at least.

I do want Blackbane's for their rules. The models are kinda meh.

I was thinking of Revenants with flame greenstuffed swords could do the trick.

if you want alternative models try the blackscorpion line. Great undead pirates in there...

I'm really thinking about using proxies for the B13. As God as my witness, I hate trying to keep Lynch's arms on. This is above and beyond the scrawny look of them.

I totally agree with you, and have proxies for the B13, and they're PP models to boot.

For Ryan:


For Watts:


And for Lynch:



They do a great job standing in as my B13.

Tis the 19th. Tic Tok!

I got my first few models done last night.
Seether, Brute Thrall, and put the final touches on BLT and the Bane Thrall UA.

I had to bump the Seether up in my Queue for the WM Tournament at Games Plus Saturday. Fully painted get to take part in a raffle.
I just have to finish my bonejacks tonight.

Looking at 9 days off work, so I have plenty of time to finish.

What are the names of those Squid? I likey.

Valeria Alvaro, Ordic Pistoleer

Gajan Vasco, Ordic Adventurer
http://www.thewarstore.com/product21933.html

Draegyn, the Black Bastard - Rogue
http://www.thewarstore.com/product21937.html

I had considered using these for the B13 as well. I already hae Valeria.
I picked up a bunch when Pendrake, Rutger Shaw and Taryn were added to Warmachine.

Nah, I was done before I even posted yesterday.
