Always good to see anything Necromunda. Keep it up!

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, here is the rest of my Chaos cultist gang for now so I can have them for my Necromunda campaign with them. Now tackling the rest of the Skorne battlebox, but I finished up pMorghoul the other day so I might post a picture of that later today before work hopefully.

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, so I managed to get to some of my Hordes items with my Skorne with painting up pMorghoul. I am almost finished up with painting the two Cyclops savages that will finish the battle box.

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, I managed to finish up the rest of the Skorne battlebox now, so I only have a few more things to finish up with them before I complete my 15 point army I just have for them. Although I plan to take a bit of a break from them to try and paint the rest of my PanO if I can.

**TheDraconicLord**

mmmhh, purple and gold, those colors always look great together <3 They look good, definitely an improvement when compared to the first minis.

Infinity, yes, always nice to see more Infinity, all the models are so damn good looking

I was kind of going for the ancient Persian look for my Skorne, considering the models for Skorne have influences of both Japanese and Persian battle armaments. And thanks! I wanted to get the rest of what I have for PanOceania done hopefully for djphranq's monthly painting challenge as I juggle school a bit as well.

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, sorry for a slow update, but I am trying to finish up everything for this semseter. Just this week and half of the next week left and I can get back to painting a bit more, but here is some of the progress I managed to get in, as well as finishing the Aquila Guard.

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, so here is my May afteraction hobby report:

Other notes:
Will try to finish up the Infinity I have and the Skorne as well. Model count my rise as I build some Imperial Guard models as gangs for Necromunda.

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, so I managed to get the Order Sargents for my PanO done(in which white is still very much my weak spot). Now I got to finish up both my Hexa and Nisse with Sniper Rifles to finish up what PanO I have left.

**TheDraconicLord**

Yes, I can see what you mean. White is always a pain in the ass and I guess the only way to remedy that is is "practice, pratice, practice"

That white really needs a new fix once you have the time =/

Still, you are doing an amazing progress, I wish I managed to paint as fast as you do

Granted I do get stuff fast reasonablly (this is mostly a slow time due to school and that). Once I finally finish up the rest I have to (and get some skill) then I will go back through them as I have to do with my base Markings for my Warmahordes.

On that note, I might get some of the GW cheap pack space marines or so to just build on my skill with painting white.

**squall018**

So I know very little about Infinity, but I like the look of the models. I bought a few to try and paint but they were too small for me. You have done a good job with them. I struggled with the one I tried due to its size and then said to heck with it. Keep it up!

**Tanakosyke22**

@Squall- Trust me, I know how you feel. After coming from painting heroic scale like Warmahordes and GW miniatures, I can understand the frustration. Still beautiful and dynamic models, but the smaller details are a little bit harder to paint.

Alright, so I managed to get a few more things done, but have not gotten a chance to post them up since I have been busy with finals last week and mother's day. Managed to finish up my Paingiver Beast Handlers so I just need one more model, the Will Breaker, to finish up my token Skorne force. Also went and built a Orlock model from some Catachan bits I got from a trade so I am going to work on that on and off. After I finish up my PanO and character for my Exalted campaign, my main focus for the next few weeks is probably going to be Warmahordes since we just started the second season of the Scars of Caen leauge.

**Tanakosyke22**

Finished up the last to models that I own for PanO last night, but was too tired to post up and that. Both are the Hexa and the Nisse with Sniper Rifles. Next plan of action it to tackle my player character for Exalted and get a decent start on my Willbreaker to finish my Skorne.

**TheDraconicLord**

Beautiful touch with the skull like helmet. Although they are very different, I immediately associated it with the Punisher

**squall018**

ORLOCKS!!! I have a few made that way, as well as a few of the original models. TBH, I like the converted ones better and the catachan kit makes it easy.

**Tanakosyke22**

I have to take a look at them. Interested to see how they turned out.

@DraconicLord: Yeah, I kind of did that as a way to separate the Hexa from the Nisse as they do look a bit similar to the untrained eyes a bit.

Alright, so I managed to get my Player Character for Exalted, Kaydessia, done now and some water 'effects' using some PVA glue and painting it a bit as she comes from an Island tribe. Also got started on eEyriss and my Willbreaker for Warmahordes so that is what is on my plate for the time being.

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, so I managed to do a two-fer of sorts. First, I tackled the Willbreaker so I managed to finish up all the Skorne I have for the time being. As well, I built a Underhive Scum for the competition on Yaktribe gaming,

**squall018**

Is that scum a catachan with cadian arms? I assume the GS is covering the armor plating. I like him, I actually just recently built a couple scum of my own. Its a great model to make because you can just do whatever you want with him as long as he has pistols.

Yep, you are pretty much right on the money about that. Used the cape from the Cadian set, and after setting the arms in I used some green stuff on it make it look like more of a coat (although Green stuff is not my forte as of now yet).

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, managed to finish up my main goals for the Monthly vows with eEyriss. I kind of went with a winter camo look with it to match my pEyriss, which is my second time doing it. Also started to get to work on some other stuff. Hopefully this should keep me busy for the next few days that I can get to it.

**squall018**

I know nothing about Warmachine models, is she on her original base or did you make that? Either way, its pretty awesome.

**Tanakosyke22**

Yeah, eEyriss is on her original base. More often than not epic characters in Warmachine come with a detailed base, hence why they are more expensive money-wise most of the time.

**TheDraconicLord**

Yeah, the base makes it look even cooler. A "I am Batman" feel.

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, so I managed to get some more things done, but sorry for a bit of the delay of posting it up here. Managed to get the rest of my cultist done and get one of my configurations on my Menoth heavy jack kit done. Also got a start painting more of Rhoven and friends and my Underhive scum.

As well, here is the monthly progress report on my collection:

Warmachine/Hordes:

Cygnar: 7/7 painted. 100.0% complete.

Protectorate of Menoth: 81/91 painted. 89.0% complete

Mercenaries: 79/104 painted. 76.7% complete

Skorne: 10/10 painted 100.0% complete

Infinity:

PanOceania: 19/19 painted. 100.0% complete

Necromunda/Kill-team:

Chaos: 20/27 painted. 74.7% complete

Van Saar(?): 9/19 painted. 47.4% complete

Orlock: 0/1 painted. 0% complete

Hired guns/swords(?): 0/1 painted. 0% complete

Wreck-age:

Staker: 1/1 painted. 100.0% complete

Other:

Reaper Minis: 1/1 painted. 100% complete

Total: 227/272 painted. 83.5% complete

Notes: Added built underhive scum. This month I should try and finish up my Warmachine/hordes collection since that is the majority of my unpainted items, but I shall try and tackle some of the rest of my Necromunda and 40k items as well. Once I get above 95% painted, I shall start building more items for my Necromunda gang, and a possibly of some Mordheim in the future.

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, so I managed to get my Underhive scum done for the competition on Yaktribe. Only thing to do now is post the pictures on there proper.

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright, so I apologize for a lack of updates for two reasons:

1) I have been busy with two jobs this summer, so although I am getting a good cash flow soon, I am going to be too busy to buy and work on miniatures.

2) Also, I have been a bit unmotivated due to a bit of a burnout and going through a bit of a depression.

But enough of that, here is Rhoven and friends along with a finished Crusader Variant for the Menoth heavy warjack kit!

**squall018**

I like Rhoven (i'm assuming thats the guy you took the extra pictures of). Definitley one of my favorite models you've done. I especially like his staff. You've done a nice job with the fire.

**Tanakosyke22**

Yeah, that is it. I went for smoke for a little bit on the fire and I was surprised how it turned out on Rhoven's staff. Thanks!

**Tanakosyke22**

Alright. Let me apologize for a real lack of progress. I have been busy with my two jobs and training for a swim race, kind of being depressed, and kind of just unmotivated to paint really (as well as being detracted by some games I got from the Steam Sale) as a mentioned before. Got a game of Warmachine since a month or so go in with a 35 pts Ashlynn list but lost to Butcher3 on scenario (no pics, but next game I hope I will take pics of this Monday). But for now, here is my progress.
