Bears officially miss early may, but maybe mid or late may will happen. A little progress on the fighters:
Color prime
Reproducable paint coat color to start them off. Should have just started white...

And paint night, mostly got the terminators greened and the details started, and the transports from last time progressed a bit:
Had the necromunda and bots out, but didn't really touch them. Too many tops in the air, hopefully brain will snap to them eventually.

Paint night again, bots got some very minor cleanup, which I forgot to photograph. Started another couple of 6mm rhinos:
But most of the day was running through two Reaper mouslings.
Trying to do some glow effect on the undead, and then the other one was packaged with them so I did them up to match, and also played a little with OSL. Not super happy with how the glow came out on the undead, but kinda like the other.
We'll see if anything else gets done before the end of the month. Need to figure out what I'm doing for Glow Up and the extended centerpeice project challenge. May break the No- GW-in-the-challenge personal rule and try the Warmaster for centerpiece, not sure what I'm doing for glow up.

A little progress on the robots, trying to break them down into smaller sets so they don't feel as large to start on:
Will have to buy or build more bases, but we'll get to that.

Thanks blockade! Glad they came out.
Got the knights done:
And started a fire elemental as my likely entry for glow up, being a bit literal. Glow up was the one where I didn't really have much that inspired me for it:
And a choppy piggy warrior lady, designed by Gaz miniatures and printed for me by McGavin Miniatures off etsy.
Front's pretty good, rear I could have prepped a bit better (or at all) with sanding. A little pin-up style, admittedly.

Thanks aku-chan! Glad to finally get them off the bench.
Started some base colors on the piggy and fire elemental--tempted to go back and sand some support marks off the pig, they're a bit more noticeable than I'd hoped, but for now:
And with the elemental, trying some ink based reverse highlights to try for glow. Red is scale75 inktense red, yellow is liquitex, white is vallejo.
Thinking I might need a darker red "highlight" after another yellow glaze pass for some brightness contrast, not sure. Also thinking maybe doing some blue on the head for white hot flame? We'll see how it goes.

I do think a darker red highlight on the edges of the flames would be good. I might reserve the hottest blue flame for eyes and mouth

About what I was thinking, yeah Nevelon. Maybe out to black-grey even. Forgot the yellow ink at home for paint night so didn't really do more on him.
Instead pushed some more questoris on, almost there:
Need to do the pink highlight, purple wash, and then base up. Shouldn't be too much longer and then will just be three more in this set.
Also made some progress on the piggy and the tiny rhinos, and kicked out a black and white dragon (but not a black and white bike):
Lots of stuff almost done, actually starting to clear space back out in my travel bag...

Good job on the bear cav! You got 5
Have you ever played Heroes-M&M6 for Dwarfs? They have some epic looking Dwarf cav that I wish GW or Reaper would make something similar.
I have 3 bear warriors so far, 1 in progress and 2 are duplicates.

Thanks! Never played Might and Magic, but the strategy guide looked cool. Yours look like cool conversions, and its half tempting me to get another of the bones ones to try something similar to expand the unit... Automatically Appended Next Post: And some minis, just need the white freehand and tolkeinian names for the second three melee knights:
And the first three double gun guys are just waiting on bases to be even with them:
The bases in question:
Could probably just use the last three resin bases I have, but thinking my home-made ones like the above are probably good enough for same army use, but not quite matched for same squad, and getting more from Ragnarok Hobbies internationally is a chore, so I need enough for the back half of the gun boys. Minor slowdown, thinking I could maybe have these guys and the second acastus ready as a household list by sunday...

If you do decide to get that bear warrior, get it in the bones plastic, cheaper than the metal ones.

I likely would for conversions mothsniper--main issue with the bones is it doesn't like thin bits like swords and spears to be straight much, but if I'm doing a weapon swap that hardly matters. Not one in stock at the game store when I checked though.
Got the bases done:
And got some knights on them:
Actually was considering them done , but then I realized I forgot the tilting shields. Still done enough to take them to a game today, where they all got exploded when two titans reactors went up, and also a couple glue joints failed, so back to repair and adjustment they go. Very close to a 1500 point knight household at least.

Thanks toasteroven! Eventually might get the unassembled 19 and the armigers I've got done...
Paint night wise, fire elemental ready for basing:
Made some solid progress on the muties, added a few colors on the new fuzzy 3d prints and mostly finished a troll:
And did a bit more on the piggy pinup:
Almost time for another basing frenzy...

New work schedule messing with my hobby schedule, getting a bit off time, but still have some things to show.
Fire elemental done, will have to post to the challenge later:
And troll done:
Some piggy progress, going to try taking the shine from the wash off with some matte varnish:
And playing with green stuff to try to get some stuff for trench crusade, lions of jabir to be. Both need something I think to not just be "reaper monsters with the wings off", and also feel like standard armor, but not sure what yet.
And readied another batch of tanks for the solar aux, may try to do more assembly like this in my dead times.
Feelong kinda off, hopefully historicon peps me up in a few weeks like usual, but doesn't do the usual rocket rush down a new cool thing...

Some paint night progress:
Mutie taurs blocked in, more or less:
Foxes likewise blocked, and some mouslings played with a bit:
And a big batch of 3d printed dracosans and valdors needing metallics, with a bit of guest salamander freehand:

Some progress on the muties, almost there now:
Also playing with drafting a 2nd hand rat ogre into a trench crusade:
And on paint night, started some more rhinos and some progress on the dracosans:
And pulled out some 3d prints:
Werewolf got a lot of work, it and the fennec just need basing:
And some general progress elsewhere:

Forgot pics on paint night, but roughly what I worked on once at home:
Almost got the 8mm stuff ready to wash, and played with some kroot color schemes on the hounds. Closer shots of the hounds:
And finished up the dracosans and valdor tonight:
I'll get some better shots one they've dried and I have more time.

And post historicon report. Very fun con, as always, and a usual my scheduling got screwed up on my end, so I mostly did hobby U and painting stuff.
Took a shipbuilding class, will likely have to look into it more:
Got the details on dry-texture-pallet drybrushing (model seen here after some minor detail additions and basing paste at home:
Also learned the grid method of freehand (grid it out on both, flip bpth upside down and possibly cover the grids you aren't copying outlines on, then add color and cover gridlines), and tried resizing with smaller grids as well:
Brigade games had a painting conrest for their con swag mini, so painted him up one afternoon and put him in:
And also painted up a gnoll from reaper I bought at the con:
(Likewise shown here after base-o-rama once I got home)
And once I got home, finally matte varnished that pig warrior, and then based a whole bunch of things:
Pig warrior:
Rabbit larper and likely contest entry, depending on how much gets done at paint night:
(Have better, or at least different photos in the gallery for submitting if I don't get the other done)
Some rhinos:
And started priming last con and this con's 3d printed terrain haul:
Productive July so far, though still no real motion on that centerpeice...
