WIP

Taking shape now. The head swap works pretty well too

Most of the colors roughly blocked in. Still need to decide what to do for the little shields. And then more coats, washes, highlights etc. But that’s just painting. Decisions are often the hardest part.

WIP 3. Started on face, body and base.

I've been threatening to do this for a while so here goes. I've had this Autarch built for a wee while so let me know if it's no good. I do intend to add more to him like grenades and such.

I'll be doing eBaldur for this month. Nothing says up close and personal like a giant stone sword.

Spoiler:

Got some work in on the vanguards, just gotta start work on the edge highlighting, weapons, and jump packs.

mouslings are... primed? sigh

actually I did start getting a bit of colour on their fur. Still planning their bases and such.

Bit of prgress on the Scyllax to go with their Magos

Block colour and first wash

Im glad I switched my entry, this one fit with this months theme a lot more.

A surprise potential deployment has forced me to scale this back though and kind of rush through it : / . I was going to do a large battle scene on a bigger base.

Since I won't be able to prime, the first Abaddon Black coats are being applied tomorrow. Stay tuned for Kylo Ren! Wait, I need a name... Kylork Ren? No, he's a Marine... Kylo Rey? Wait, that's from my fan fiction... A-ha! Kylo SPESSMAHREEn!

Finished, yay!!

Man, I miss painting miniatures. Was going through some serious withdrawl for a while!

What type of camera/set up do you use talys? Your pictures look amazing each time

@Ustrello - thanks! My miniatures are photographed with either a Canon T2i or T6s -- even though they're, like 10 years apart in manufacturing date, the photos for minis are indistinguishable.

The T2i has a Canon 17-55/2.8 zoom lens on it, and the T6s is home to a 100mm f2.8 macro lens. Most of the photos I took were with cheap, ordinary CFL daylight bulbs for lighting against a white cloth backdrop in my hobby room, but the last three or so are with LED light panels that I got for myself as something of a Christmas gift late last year. It doesn't make any difference to the photo, but they take up way less space, and are adjustable in brightness and easier to angle.

Man come take pictures of my minis

Are transfers required for this competition?? I left my transfer sheet at home over christmas and I won't get it back until next month earliest. My minis are finished apart from basing and transfer and I don't want to drop £20 for a brand new one when the one I have will cover my entire army twice over.

There is a very short list of “requirements”

At the worst, people might decide not to vote for you. But it’s not going to disqualify you.

Transfers? Who needs'em?

If you like them then by all means, but if not (or dont have them) no one is going to give it a second thought.

so while i was painting my repentia i was also painting this... so i was all what the hell and stuck a chainsaw on the base...
i kinda forgot all about the eyes till i noticed in the pic

Just a quick WIP...

(yes, I am a very messy basecoater!)

ahahahahah they're awesome sculpts

Soooooooo cute!!!

Aw man, makes me wanna find my tribe of mice.

Long day at work and the gym so I didn't get a whole lot done, but here is another update

So I was hesitant about whether to enter this month, having bought something new at the GW birthday party in Nottingham.

Proof:


Ironically the bit I was most worried about was painting the base, but as you can see, that's gone rather well:


So time to break out the ambition and enter the competition!

Quick update: Kylo Space Mareen!

Just in case its a thing, my entry was shown as finished but my original WiP is in the post.



So heres my WiP in case.

Yeah, I didn't bother to change it as I'd seen it, it's no issue. I'm just lazy!
