Tuesday paint night again, finally got something done for august, admittedly just a bit of drybrushing and rim paint, but the lizards are done:


Also got my for now general of my warmaster chaos army done but for basing, with his tiny giant lizard:


And some more skeleton progress:

Hopefully my litko base order I just put in gets here soon, and I can get some of these done...

Those skeletons have so much character! How is that possible?

Great work on the warmaster general too. I love his aqua armour on the purple dragon. Great stuff.

TheCrowe, dunno, they're just wargames atlantic skeletons with heads from the GW skulls kit, most I can claim is a bit of posing.

Just waiting on bases for the foot, should be in on tuesday.


Also getting my previous attempt at warmaster using 15mm rats from splintered light back out:


And getting the cav and harpies primed up, hopefully get them done before the rest of the army I just ordered shows up:


Little more at a time...

Nice work on some really tiny dudes!

Thanks aku-chan. Got a whole bunch more on the way, just hoping I can get them done in less than 5 years...
And this weeks been a bit ick, didn't make tuesday paint night, but did get these guys started basing. Not fully glued, and going to need to figure out how to not have obvious hills, but for now:

More slow incremental progress. Bases aren't working or I'd call them done, going to probably flock them eventually:


And just needing to paint the challenge models bases:

Decided the bases were good enough for now, so retroactively moved to the "done" category:


And likewise the challenge models for the month just need black rims and less cluttered photos:


And you can see some knight progress--sadly, the reload of warmaster just posted, from a state away, so likely won't be done the first load by the time it arrives, but ah well.

Made it to Tuesday paint night, mostly continuing already started minis.

Some progress on the cat adventureres, cleaning up the speedpaint or whatever I used. Mostly need to do the tellow and figure out what I need to do on the fur:


Got a gnoll done except the base:


Did some more base colors on the jungle girls, putting off the intended flesh paint practice...


and started doing my chaos spawn for the 10mm chaos:

War pugs gathered in their maaaassessssss...

Finally got basing done on the Oathsworn minis:


Just need some formal pics.

And the reload of warmaster came in, already have some set up for painting:

The idea of using the bestigors as chaos warriors to mix things up and prime for a beastman army may also be a bit out--they're almost ogre sized:

That said, made some progress on the first set, probably not this week, but maybe early in next month:

Wow you’ve certainly been busy. Always good to see some smaller scale work on show. The war pugs are my favourite, and with their own entrance music too!

Thanks theCrowe. Doesn't feel like it, but checking the big list of finished stuff does say its been 12 bases of stuff done this month, which is actually well above my yearly goal. Enjoying the small scale stuff a lot--quick speed paint jobs still look good given its all about the effect in quantity.
Inched closer to finishing the next load of 10mm:

And slapped some more paint on the pugs, just need a second set of three to fill out the bases for warmaster:


Otherwise, paint night was mostly doing details on previously started models:
Skin test models got some skin done:

And mostly finished all but the basing on the beastmen:

Did paint up a werejackal though, again just needing basing:



Hoping to get some based up tomorrow, plus fonal pics for the challenge, and then on to big guns for next month.

Looking good. Amazing mix of stuff as always.

Thanks Nevelon.
Got some color on the challenge models, may try for a second lance to fill out the company:


Also almost done the first set of warmaster models, just needs a purple wash, cleanup, and some basing:


And started in on the stuff on sticks from the reload:



A little spotty, focusing on the stuff thats easy or hits my interest, but still progress.

Bit more progress, might do some more on the harpy skin but I think its down to basing at this point.


And put some more paint on the next batch:

Little at a time, but getting there.

Did go to tuesday paint night which this week had a class on painting leather, but mostly forgot to take pictures there and haven't gotten the minis back out to finish up. Picked up these reaper guys, with goofy names I can't recall. Little lizard dudes just looked cool, and the slime monster is going to end up a 10mm chaos spawn:


And the models I did the leather class with, which also may be my alternate option for the challenge if I don't get my brain moving on the mechs soon:


And then last night I finally got my butt together for basing, and finished uh...a rather lot of stuff.
The rest of my first 10mm warmaster push, brings me up to 890 pts:

Sadly, you can kind of see the left three knights I somehow screwed up so they don't go base to base. I didn't realize it til everything was done and dry, sadly. Best idea to fix it so far is paint a third knights unit similar colors, but based so they can contact, then repaint sheilds to distinguish units that will line up.

Likewise, finished up the catfolk adventurer party, though at some point I think I'll have to redo that fur, not up to the quality of the clothes.



And bringing up the rear is the werejackal from paint night.


We'll see what comes up next, hopefully some layers on the mechs...

Did a little more paint on warmaster stuff today:


And finally got the Oathsworn stuff on corks, though didn't otherwise touch them since Tuesday:

Nice selection of B&B on the corks there. I always liked that fox but I expect the pose would be kinda funny to play with, like he’s flying around on his tail.

Your catfolk are looking really great! Nice job on those.

BnB aside kitsune and yuriei are frequently seen flying or balancing on their tails, at least in art.

Progress is good. Loving Your cat-folk party and admire You for being unafraid to use yellow!

Thanks Nevelon, i just kinda filed it under gun fu, but I defintely see the godzilla reference now you mention it. Luckily, I kinda find that funny.

And thanks wirecat. Not going as well this time, but hopefully I can pull it off.

Almost finished the chaos spawn to be, just need basing.

Debating trying to find a loose guy to stick on there, just to give sone scale...

And post paint night progress:



Mole blacksmith just needs basing, though sadly doesn't fit the challenge for the month, fox is just about blocked in, and the others are at least started. Hopefully can keep the fox away from christmas as I finish the red.

Still focusing on the B&B stuff, getting pretty close, almost to the stressful piping and trim work...


Should have something done for the challenge at least...

I think the gunners are about ready for basing. Not entirely satisfied with how they look, but not sure how to articulate or fix it.



Still, at least it means I'll likely have something done for the challenge...

Kinda behind on paint night pictures, but a bit slow there as well. Was a painting space marines lesson, did some with it:

Some stipple light play on a havoc to be, from the older kit with the new heavy weapons, and outside that lesson, some base coating on a termie lord for the ratlings.
Also got some advice on the oathsworn stuff, and touched them up some this morning, and moved them to bases this evening.


Just gotta sculpt bases there. Also did another color on the warmaster stuff (wakeless rex bestigors to be counts as chaos warriors), hopefully get more of these done, though probably be more the opener for next month:

Final pictures taken of the Oathsworn stuff:
Guns for the challenge:





and the mole blacksmith:




also did another color on a bit of the warmaster strips:


Getting there, hopefully by early next month, though admittedly no real rush.

Looking good, love the foxy gunslinger!

Thanks aku-chan, hoping the extra effort pays off in the challenge voting...

And as might be a bit obvious, kinda had the bleahs that've been going around on painting. Do have some progress though.
Paint night I forgot to take pictures again, but was mostly base coating:

Another batch of bad squiddo shieldmaidens, hopefully going to get these done at some point.

Greebo games krox for blood bowl, and pulled out but didn't further paint some more B&B stuff...

Started my orc shaman, and more importanly, the further away game store found a pack of war pugs, so all we need now are the loose 10mm dudes as handlers to make them less obviously out of scale...

And then some minor rest of week progress on other stuff.

Bestigors and dragon ogres almost ready for wash and cleanup.

And more base blocked jungle girls, two old ral partha's I picked up at historicon, and a newer reaper bones.

Hoping some of this gets actually finished this month...

Bit of a late start on paint night, mostly got a lesson on skin with the zorn limited pallet, but did prime the skeletons, and painted up a couple practice minis at the session:

Need to get back on things, but got all month, I think.

Progress on the shieldmaidens, just need to finish the shields, weapons and bases:


Some more work on the skellies:

And getting asymptoticly closer to done on the 10mm stuff...as I order in a bit more...

Eventually something will get done...

Lots of great and varied stuff but the pugs are the clear winners, so adorable!

Thanks viterbi! They were so goofy cute I figured I had to drop them in to the army. Now I just gotta wait for the handler models to show up to base and start making holy grail jokes...

In the meantime, mostly finished another lot of shieldmaidens, just need to do up some bases:
