Hulk. Excellent.

If I recall, Thanos is removable and the throne has gameplay value. As terrain or a candidate for inflicting blunt trauma?

So not sure if it was the contrast paint or the primer, but I feel like I’m in an alternate universe.the high parts have the dark areas.

Time to try the old paint method now

I would write to Duncan and Peachy immediately

Sorry, that contrast didn't work out, but excited for the classic method!

Well, I’m actually glad it didn’t work out. I need to exercise my painting skills. It took a while and not done yet, but Hulk is looking so much better now. He almost glows.

Nuclear Hulk. What’s scary is I had another brighter green still set aside to go up more. Getting ready for work now. Probably won’t paint more till Christmas as I need to get the church ready for Christmas Eve service while still working at the hospital.

That green is awesome!

Excellent! Gammalicious!

Good recovery! The Jolly Gamma Giant looks great!

Second bout with the Hulk really paid off Theo! He is looking great, did you just paint over the contrast? I have found it can make for a good base then build up the layers from there.

Thanks, they are GW greens, not at home to share, but can later if needed.

Positively glowing I’d say

Thanks, almost anything would have been better than the previous version.

I did just go over the contrast. I have found that contrast helps me see where the light changes should be.

Almost picked up black panther today. Waiting until after Christmas because I know there will be sales happening.

While at MM I ran into a guy I gamed with 20+ years ago. He was wrapping up a game of ASOIAF, got talking and might have been swayed into getting into that game . While I enjoyed playing with him all those years back (THE best bloodbowl game ever played I got to watch him make an unbelievable last move turn to win), I just don’t see myself being able to get another system and the time to play. I’ll probably go watch and at least meet up again inthe coming weeks.

Looks like we are working on the same stuff!! The starter set really is a great value and for 40% off its impossible to pass up. Looking forward to see what you do with it.

Nice start to the Hulk! Looking forward to seeing the rest getting painted up.

Hulk looks great-- that green is the same as the Ang Lee/Eric Bana Hulk.

Quite a change Theophony from the contrast to the current WIP.

Cheers,

CB

I love the Hulk mini, and MODOK too. This is the first close look I've gotten at most of these, thanks for sharing!

That last pic of the big guy is fantastic, truly love the colour and glow you have achieved. Spectacular Theo.

Merry Christmas bud, I know you have a lot on now so getting in early. Love and best wishes for a wonderful Christmas to you and your family.

Thank you everyone for stopping In. At work and can’t do a rundown right now, just wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas.

Also wanted to share a photo that had me rolling on the floor because it’s so much like my house. Saw it over in one of my Facebook feeds.


That about wraps it up .

Save up your lumps of coal guys, if they be Useable for terrain.

Merry Xmas dude. I am certainly shopping with that mantra.

@ Graven, true

Little bit of work on Hulkie.

Another brighter highlight added, some work on his pants, but I really don’t have many purple paints .

Went to Miniaturemarket today and played a pick up game of British vs. Pirates. It’s a hex based naval combat game in the time of sails. Fun little game, got pulled into it to play with that friend I ran into last week. Almost bought into it, but I think this can be a beer and pretzel game the other guys provide. I think I was the youngest out of 6 of us at 45, most of the guys were 60+ and told me this is a fast game because us old guys don’t have much time left ......three hours later . But I see where having 3 people on each side tends to slow things down. Still very fun time was had.

So I know I mentally need help focusing. Miniaturemarket has the ASOIAF game at half price. I don’t really want to jump into it, but it’s a good deal and Jamie is part of the St. Louis ASOIAF league and I joined the Facebook page. Looking at models, I like the Free Folk, the starter box just doesn’t do much for me. I may have to investigate downloading the rules and getting spare measuring stuff from others.

Also looking at stuff I see the new Chaos warriors starter set . Oh that is the look I’ve been wanting from chaos for decades. But the drawback there is straight up GW pricing . Not sure I want to do that, but the starter set plus Archaon look so nice.

Not many of the MCP figs are calling to me, but each box will have cards . I’m so tired of card games in my miniature games.

So vivid. I love the tonal range so far. I play so very little of what I own these days, I figure buy what you feel like working on, what you feel like you can stand to look at on the shelves after it is done.

After looking at that pic I feel like my tablet is now gamma-radiated
Skin is superb and pants are also looking good. I don‘t envy you, if you still want to put highlights on those pants.

And focus is overrated It may be a little selfish, but I would love to see you tackle the ASOIAF models.

^This. It's what I hated about X-Wing, and is my one major concern about Dredd. Had a long chat with my nephew (he's 21, and because he has a proper uncle has been a gamer for over a decade) and he absolutely went off on one about MCP.

Still, Hulk's damn pretty

My goodness he is a beautiful bright green, really love how he is coming along Theo! For your purple you could mix in a bit of white or blue to bring up the highlights.

Thanks guys.

Speaking of pretty.

Still very WIP, but the Black (multiple coats of nuln oil over grey) Widow is getting started.

Hi, Natasha. Looking good, Theo.

Nats looking good! How many coats of nuln oil to get that look?

Love that green!

She's looking very, very good. You're definitely raising your game there sunshine.

Thanks everyone.

Another quick look at something. Trying out some colors on old models and thinking of next project . Came across this old battlemasters chaos archer and wanted to do a side by side with his remodel.


Focus problems are real.

So much new stuf to paint and I’m repainting things to see about what to get next.

Have decided (for now) not to get ASOIAF. But other items are still n my list to knock off.

Edit: so thinking about chaosifying my Stormcast and adding the Khorne stuff and new Slaves to Darkness starter box. Only part of the way there on this guy. The helmets need to be replaced to get a better feel I think. Also the beige will be taken more to a white I think and damage added. Been looking around for inspiration. It will need a spot color and I’m thinking bright orange. The one I saw had bright blues.

I really like the old chaos archer. The Godsworn Hunt guy is better sculpted technically, but Im a sucker for older models.

Yeah, I totally agree, the older model has such character too.

So painting today. Or repainting is more appropriate. I’ve always had problems with Khorne and red, so when I saw alternate schemes I was intrigued. Repaint of my underworld warband of Khorne in progress.

Also I pushed the Stormcast too far . Too many layers and my OSL didn’t come out the way I wanted.


So my LGS still has copies of the AOS 2015 starter, at $125 no less. It has basically two $90 start collecting boxes in it as well as a couple larger models. Khorne and Stormcast are the two armies. Not much of a coincidence that those are the armies I’m doing test colors on . I also have my Underworlds warband of Khorne bloodborne to test some patterns on. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Khorne models from the set, but I guess I’ll take another look at them.
