My gf picked up all the new Harlequin stuff for me for a late Valentine's Day prezzie (well, all except the Voidweaver) so now I'm them in the Mymeara corner too to be painted. Trying to decided on a Masque/colour scheme that complement/ go with Mymeara. So far thinking.....Masque of the Shattered Mirage with a few tweaks.....

The Wraithlord came out really nice. Look forward to seeing how it looks once it's a whole army!

Thx vry much TP Just getting back into it so practice practice. Plus lots of vids and the like on youtube re: technique, schemes etc. I actually find myself sitting in my office at work thinking through different colour schemes and how they'd look on a fig. the joys/banes of an overactive imagination lol

That Wraithlord looks really solid- love that greeny-blue you've done there, though I confess it's not something I'd want to mess about with when painting lol.

Cheers! Yeah...that whole paint scheme was very much a softly softly nervous thing. Wasn't 100% sure how it was gonna work out and whether the blends would work or not. She was the first I did with that scheme. The research I did b4 hand was .......arduous and not hugely helpful barring a few folk here on Dakka. But.....came out pretty lush in the end. Wave Sepent will get done the same way......eventually!!

That should look pretty f'n sweet when it's done then

Here's hoping! Got a few other wee tricks n whistles I wanna try out/add to it when I finally get onto painting it

After painting up and doing a diorama for the DV Deathwing squad - I'm needing a switch from al things PA!! Back to those of the pointy eared persuassion. I've 2 boxes and 3 clams of Harlies setting in my cabinet justa waiting so gonna have a wee Eldfest next. Starting with the new Solitaire fig. Opened, cleaned up and built the guy last night. Crikey - tender delicate wee fella eh?! Lovey fig though. Only thing I dont really like is that left hand. Everytime I look at at it, all I can hear in my mind is "STOP....in the name of love......" lol. So have made a wee change to it. I'll be entering this guy in Paradigm's April comp as a vet. Will pop up a WIP shot later after work. Cheers all

Fridays....bloody Fridays. 6 classes to teach. 4 of them in a row.......done now thankfully. Off to Seoul tomoro to pick up new suit for the wedding and think I'll sneak a wee visit into Orctown (Korea's one and only GW merch stocking FLGS) and probably give into temptation and pick up one of the new Skitarii Dragoons. Bloody lovely figs they are.
Anyways..... got a wee bit of work done on the Solitaire. just a few baselayers and started to do some blending on the tails of his coat. Liking the scheme so far.

Ohhh - the poll for voting on Paradigm's March painting comp is up at the mo. Head on over, have a gander at all the awesome work folk put into it and vote on your favourite

Wee fella is coming along. Onto the motley now up the tails of his coat. Happy with this guy. The finishing bits are gonna be the treat though

Urgghhhh - crappy photo though :(


Just started on some motley on the back of his coat......looking great but tricky as....lol

Finally finished up the Solitaire and made a wee scene for him to sit in. I cut and reattached his left hand so he could hold something in it..... a cultist's head!! He's decided to fight along The Masque Of The Shattered Mirage, a troupe of which I'll get around to painting up at some time
Anyways- pretty happy with how he turned out. Here he is. Hope yez like him

"Alas.....Poor Mon'keigh..."

Oh, so that's what it was hanging from him hand!

1000000% awesome, the paintwork and the whole composition!

Cheers Para. Yeah....actually really happy with him. Lots n lots n lots of layers!! The decapitated head was originally meant for the base of one of the DV terminators but I forgot about it!! Glad I did. The blood drips are actually 2 bristles from my dogs toothbrush painted with bftbg techpaint!!!!! Seem to be getting into the habit of making these wee extra scene base things now! The photos are really pissing me off though. Bloody camera ><

The mini-diorama bases do add a hell of a lot to the mini! Even if you don't make one for everyone, just having a few to stick the minis in for photography is very cool.

aye. That one I just made (they are insanely easy to make mind) will serve nicely for the death jester and the shadowseer.....once i actually get around to painting them too lol.

That looks fantastic finished, I really like the diamonds on the coat and as others have said, the base adds so much to the miniature. Nice work!

Loving that Solitaire! Excellent stuff Januine! No match for the Emperor's Fin... *KCHKK!* "Hurghh"

Thx very much guys much appreciated

Off to Seoul today for the photo shoot. Before I tear off - here's what's next to be painted. These Skyweavers are gorgeous. Seriously beautiful fig. Can't wait to get the paint on 'em. Masque of the Shattered Mirage is the way we're going.....with a few Irish steve tweaks cut off and repositioned the blade of the zephyr glaive to fit with the idea for the wee diorama/base scene I'll make later. Speaking of which - anyone got a scared running away ork I could nab?!!!! Lol.

Wee update. Plodding along but it's begining to come together

Nice work so far, again the diamond pattern on the canopy, it's looking good.

Ooh, shiny! Love that pattern on the whatever-you-call-the-bit-that goes-on-the-front! Might borrow the overlapping diamonds for one of my own Harlies...

Cheers lads! Happy with how the pattern on the bike canopy(?) came out. Didnt want the usual motley pattern.......wanted something....a bit more...flutterey!!! My office is now covered in sketches of different patterns!! Wanted a lighter scheme as well rather than the ubiquitous black base that's going around. The left side is darker along the bike as it will be tilted 45 degrees for .....well...you'll see

*cowlings!!! - not canopies

Nice work there boss!! That harlequin looks great. Good luck in the comp

Cheers BeBop. Solitaire was tricky little bugger to paint but really enjoyed him ntl. Oh - finally got a wet pallet sorted out.....sweet mercy how hard is it to get parchment paper in Korea Using it now for the Skyweaver. Well handy - how the buggery did I not get using that before

Cant decide about the back fins......there's 4 little segments on each fin.......not sure whether to keep them light blue like the rest of the back fin or to pick them out in different (squad) colours.........and if so, which colours would complement the scheme....c8 ><

Finally - a weekend to myself. First weekend at home in over two months spending this weekend with the dog, wine, paint n movies. Skyweaver is coming along. Might get it finished this weekend if the motley I'm about to start doesn't drive me to ruin
