Two Zombicide survivors finished (Sans bases)

Also started an inqustion guard trooper mostly as a colour test. Needs more work though and the paint is a little thicker than I would like.

The survivors look nice. Are you going to give them a coat of anti-shine?

They have had one but it didn't take down all the shine. Will hit them and all the zombies in one big batch probably.

Just a quick progress update on Zombicide.

Finished the Elf character. Not too happy with it but I am glad its done.

Down to the last 6 models left to paint

Two Survivors
A necromancer
3 Zombies left as seen in the empty spaces.

I dont know why attaching files makes them go sideways. But if you click on them you can see them the correct way up.

Those are some well-painted models, especially considering the material. Are you dipping them?

I stared by dipping some of the earlier zombies but the later ones I’ve used the GW gloss shades on them. The hero models get a light highlight after the shade.

Think I overdid the shade on the elf however

Great work on the zombicide stuff . I haven’t tried the GW glosses yet, might be what I need since my armypainter dip all dried up on me.

Really dig the skelletor runner on the bottom row.

Did you get green horde? And what’s your thought on the Zombicide IN SPACE minus the zombies

Really couldn't resist skelletor zombie.

Skipped green horde didn't feel the need for another few Zombicide boxes.

Cant say the space one appeals to me. Would have preferred if they went full alien style and called it something other than Zombicide if I am honest.

I skipped GH initially, but late pledged for core box only. I wanted the giants, dragon and the war machines along with the Monty Python stuff. But since I late pledged it means I won’t see any of it till AFTER wave 2 is shipped.

I’m skipping the space one, ironically because I have no space.

If you don’t skip it you will have an abundance of space, almost too much space.

Yeah lack of space is something I’m struggling with too.

Nice work on getting all of those Zombies done, Carlos! That's quite a cool set there now!

Thanks Az. Im still three short on zombies but nearly there, hoping to get to the finish over the next two weeks.

Got a bit burnt out on zombicide in the last stretch so started planning out a deathwatch paining and basing scheme as a test model before I start paining more.

I want to brighten the eyes, finish the shoulder pad and do the jump pack but I think the overall effect is solid in the end I settles on the snow base as I liked the contrast against the black.



Does anyone know why it posts attachment snap sideways ?

I bet your using an IPad or IPhone to take the pics. If your holding the phone/pad sideways then the coding does something screwy and the forum reads it the wrong way. I had similar problems for a while, but then I figured out which way I had to hold it so it would turn out correctly. Try it with the home button on the right hand side(I think, it might be the left) and see if it does it correctly. If not then turn it 180 degrees and try again.

Raven Guard guy looks great by the way

Thanks Theo will give that a go spot on that I usually use an I phone or pad for pics. Zooming in a little has made me see the paint is a bit thick in places but that’s all part of the learning process.

I think I’m probably calling this guy done.

My first dip into deathwatch ready for both 40k and kill team only a metric fuckton of models to go.

Also working on shadespire at the moment, hoping to get some Garrick reavers done soon.

I like him. Suitably dark with nothing flashy to give away the element of surprise .

Is that the GW snow effect on the base? I tried to buy some this week only to see the local FLGS and Miniaturemarket’s retail shop both out of it. How is it to work with?

Hey, long time no see. Nice work on that marine (Raven Guard?) The edge highlighting looks great-- I thought he was painted in metallics at first. Is that a smoke launcher on his jump pack?

Thanks guys, this is my first time doing this kind of edge highlighting but I like it a lot.

It’s a raven guard model from deathwatch.i think he was from deathwatch overkill or something like that.

Not entirely sure what the pipes on top of the jump pack are for so I painted them a brassy colour to make them stand out.

The snow is GW snow. It is a really nice effect but is quite clumpy so can be difficult to place where you want it at times, I’ve been applying it with coffee stirrers which seems to work well enough but can’t help but feel a proper sculpting tool would work better. Highly recommended though, I think it offsets the Black well.

The “pipes” are grenade launchers. Since he is using power claws he cannot manually pull a pin or manipulate the grenade with his hands.

Thank you, I was not aware of this. I guess trying to grab the grenade off his back would lead to him losing a leg

Nice Job on the Raven Guard Carlos

Started painting again for the first time in ages. Advantage of injuring my foot and not being able to kickbox is that I have time to paint. Progress so far on Garrek’s Reavers posted below. Does anyone have any tips or good tutorials for highlighting weapons and faces I would be happy for the help.

Long time since I’ve updated but I’m painting a mix of forgeworld and 3D printed krieg. Far more I would like to do with them but I have very little painting time and an entire army to paint so going to leave them here for now.
