And shieldmaidens batch done:

On to the next set to complete out a point of warriors:


And of course, de-supported and set up even more warmaster, because my brain doesn't seem to want to finish things.


Need to get cracking on the chaos and the skellies...

Got a little more done on the skellies. Just need to paint some shields, and some bases I think...


Hopefully more at paint night this evening.

Did a color scheme test this morning for the dogs of war:

Needs some metallics and cleanup, but hopefully will work.

Managed to make paint night, started a general for if I ever run the shieldmaidens in a fantasy game:

And did up some shields for the skeletons. Still needs another layer highlight up I think:

Little closer, hopefully get them done soon. Should probably start doing some headstones for the bases...

More skeletons, just need some basing now.
Pikes:

Sword and board, may glue in some javelin later for peltasts...


Was going for an abstract bull head with the freehand, think I hit more in the gutter.
And all together:

Thanks, aku-chan, they're fun!

Some more done at paint night:

Needs some finish work ar home, but happy with the progress.

Also did base coats for testing an alligator scheme:


And the piggy mount for the sheildmaidens general having some progress:


Lotta stuff close to done, need to start finishing...

I like your work on the Shieldmaidens. I'm a big fan of that particular line, so it's great to seem them in the wild, as it were.

Also, your skeletons are top notch. The shields are especially nice, making what would otherwise be very plain models really stand out.

Now showing more Samurai Marines, Bad Squiddo Amazons, and an Oldhammer Chaos Thug!

Thanks JoshinJapan! And yeah, didn't intend it that way, but the sheild does help them pop, doesn't it?

Got one batch done of them, possibly baring a bit of flock cleanup and glue down, and started the command group:


Will have to take some pictures for the challenge, and get another pair to fill out 10 for a nice unit shot once they're done.

Made some progress on the 10mm stuff, using some spare stands for some scaling on the warpugs and spawn, and started basing them and the skeletons:

Should be done soon, be a nice start for November.

Also went to paint night, Haley'sRedComet was doing his usual every other Tuesday teaching, for metallics today. Did a couple paladins from reaper for a variety of metals:

Pretty neat method, and kind of like the results.

Arms are off for accessibility, half tempted to use them for the challenge. Currently planning to do some shieldmaiden horses for that though, but haven't done more than prep and prime.

Thanks Olthannon, they're kind of the whole reason I'm doing the project.

And got some more finished, another sword and board, a rodelero for a second swordsmen unit, and the rest of the front half of the pike block:



And ranked up in their groups:


Also got some more warmaster done, dragon ogres, warpugs, and the reaper beastie as a counts as spawn:

Closeup on the charging warpugs, because I think they came out much better than the ogres:


Also brings me up to 199 bases done on the year, which feels decent I think, even if its mostly smaller and more speed painted stuff. Need to get working on my challenge models though, a lot of month gone for them to still just be primed...

Some progress from paint night, not really feeling any super enthusiasm, but making a bit of progress here and there.

Mostly just throwing some base coats down.
Closeup on the paladins:

They're getting close, hopefully get them done for the challenge if I don't do the horsewomen.
Also got fairly close on some more warmaster stuff, should be this week:


Just keep moving paint.

Nice highlighting work on the robes and shields. What colours did you use for the red?

Thanks Olthannon. Had a base of IIRC Vallejo air Ferrari, then washed down with MSP violet red and a mix of that and AK black, and highlighted up with I think VMC dark vermillion and then that mixed with some VGC moon yellow. The blue was I think either VGC night blue or VMC prussian blue, I think a thinned AK black wash, a highlight of Vallejo air light sea blue, and then lots and lots of layers of thinned Vallejo Air French blue...

And got more of the 10mm stuff done, some bestigors to count as Chaos Warriors (because high level chaos hordes ought to be mixed, and because I'd like to start some beasts and demons too...), some Marauders, and some Chaos Spawn and a hero to help command the mess.



Gets me to 208 on the year if I'm counting right. Still got to get the challenge model for the month in (and hopefully more 10mm stuff), and then all of December...

Thanks Nevelon! Only really making progress on tuesdays, but still yeah, almost there.
Speaking of, a little more on them, and some more work on 10mm stuff:

Lady of change, a minotaur doombull for the budding beastman army, and the sheilds. Still needs a bit of work.
And the reload with more of a demons army from excellent miniatures:


Also finished some more chaos characters last night:

Hopefully make more progress this week, feeling pretty good on these.

Bit better pictures of the heros:


Also got the minotaur based up:


Otherwise just took stuff out but a little at a time.

Mostly been de-supporting minis this week, not entirely happy with where some of them got placed, but still threw some paint around.
Got the paladins assembled, just need detail for here and there and basing:


And started painting some characters for chaos:
Spoiler:

(Spoiler for worm-breasts)

Hopefully clear the challenge stuff this week, and maybe get a good start on the beasts or demons army for 10mm..

Got another random bug looking at stuff on the desk, and threw this guy together last night:



Kinda happy with how it turned out, and considering if I want to sub it in for the paladins for my painting challenge entry. Of course, now I just gotta do it about a dozen more times for an army...

I thought the paladins were coming along nicely, but that’s a pretty snazzy tank.

Thanks Nevelon. The paladins weren't bad I think, just didn't feel they fot the theme quite right.
Did some stuff at paint night. More work on the 28s, wraith is about done, just needs a base, orc needs more skin and accessories work:


And put a base color on some of my onslaught warmaster order:

Almost into December, not much year left. Probably means I fail my "paint a titan and paint a 28mm tank" goal, but otherwise doing pretty good.

Wow, you get extremely intricate details on those teeny-tiny 10mm models. Color me impressed.

Also, I agree with Nevelon-- the paladins came out really well.

Thanks JoshinJapan, admittedly the 10mm is just a wash layer basically.

Did finish the wraith though last night:


Next up I think is more 10mm, but we'll see, kinda thinking about a paint scheme change on the not-khorne stuff...

Still kind of bouncing around, did prime up more demons, but kind of not sure what I want to do--tempted to color code by god, green for tzeentch, purple slaanesh, orange-bronze for khorne probably in nmm, and nurgle not appearing in this picture. Bit worried the khorne would just blend with the bases though, same color used, maybe thinking grey and TMM or black instead? Not sure.


But most of the paint went onto this big stegadon and riders, as a color test for lizardmen:


Hopefully get it done and be able to start knocking out some easy lizards.
