Scroll further down to see my pics. had to re post the pics since i feel they were confusing.

As promised, one completed Young Lacroix from the Malifaux Kin Crew. Hopefully the picture will upload.

Brother has started to show a little interest in the Age of Sigmar game. Somewhere I have all the miniatures from the Starter set. Only two have been finished the rest are still attached to the sprue. This is a too good an opportunity for me to miss. If I can get all the miniatures into a playable state (assembled to primed) we may be able to try a few games. So I suggest this time that I find and locate all the missing miniatures and assemble all the untouched ones and get them undercoated with spray primer.

My update from this week:

Goals:

Have a game Friday night, and lacking a few point for a 2000pts game, my objectives this week:
- assemble as many Endless Spells as I can before Friday
- clear mould lines from the 6 Nurgling Bases I just blu-tacked together for the game

Assembled a Daemon Prince and gave him 6 Drone wings so he could fly. This wasn't on my To-Do, but I didn't know when he would arrive as it was a Kickstarter.
I also got the Chronomantic Cogs assembled.

The game was 1500 vs 1200 pts (Firestorm campaign), so I wouldn't have needed to be stressed out about the missing points.
The Daemon Prince was ready regardless, but he sucked big time. I think all in all he killed 6 grots while being in combat for 5 turns!
3/4 hits from the sword, rolled 3 x 2s on wound roll. You get the idea.


My goals this week:
- assemble all Endless Spells from the metallic sprue (Cogs, swords and one portal done)
- assemble a unit of Plague Drones to go with the Daemon Prince

The Nurgling bases get pushed forther down the queue, as they are already playable.

Nice work, how many pieces does that model come in? Gave up on Malifaux after Yan-Lo.

Had a bit of a disaster with my stuff, everything I had base coated proved to be in the wrong colour (too dark) so ended up redoing all the baseing in a lighter grey and then got a little side tracked. Ended up finishing an EA Oracle scout cruiser and four Whitestar mk2s. So my weeks work in some really bad pics;



Will try for some better pics in daylight, so that one can actually see the pattern.


Next week is to get 3x Hyperion, 5x Starfury and 1x proxy Warlock done, its all base coated so shouldn't be too taxing.

So my goal this week is to finish building a magnetized Knight Warden, paint a chaplain, and basecoat my first squad of Fire WarriorS with my tentative paint scheme. Trying to make a nice teal and the best I've pulled off is Sotek Green over a Macragge Blue base. Any suggestions from the thread?

Woohoo. Progress.

All.the little tanks primed and camo'd up.











And also the Necromunda terrain is all greyed and washed up ready for drybrushing.

Next to do will be to redo the black on the tanks to cover the airbrush overspray

Update to the update

Pics of the Daemon Prince:

Goal for the week is to get all primary weapons coated twice with incubi darkness. Secondary goal is to go over the darker colour fatigues (done in steel legion drab) with karak stone.

Managed to get a couple of better pics, I found these insanely difficult to paint to even this standard would appreciate any CC;

Nice man how do you draw those lines on?, also what are all your ship models from? star trek?.

I mean do you draw them your self or..?

They are from Babylon 5 mate and yes they are all painted on.

True, really cool looking, all your ships.

I have over hundred minis worth of backlog. Given that and the fact I'll be on holiday soon I'm just gonna lurk and join in later.

I find I paint in fits and spurts. If I have inspiration I paint and kitbash. If not I don't force it.

There is nothing worse than trying to keep on painting when you're really not in mood to.

That's the spirit!

I'm up for this.

Recently got most of the base colours done on a Vanquisher.



Goal for the week (despite the kids being off school for the holidays now) is to at least get the rest of the muzzle painted and get the transfers added.

Got a new 3d printed part coming tomorrow for a new tank so maybe can get that at least built and undercoated by Sunday.

A very unimaginatively painted Chaplain for my friend's Ultramarines army. My friend glued his halo on all wonky.

umm is the right pauldron blue? otherwise nothing says it's ultramarines lol

still, I like the look of it!

Chaplains! Now in fresh mint flavour!

It is not. It probably should have been but I honestly didn't think of it. His army has a bunch of different schemes.

Those Mentos containers are the best paint handles ever though. I got a dozen of them for squad painting. Cost 3 dollars and you get gum too!

A motivational thread? Yeah I can probably make use of this.

My current project is an assault squad and 2 tactical squads.

For your first time painting, those are looking pretty good, Storm

Also nice to see some Black Legionaries. Don't see enough of them I think.





Finished off an assault marine today. Nothing flash. Apologies for the hand in the background. Couldn't get him to focus otherwise.

Thanks

Also i like your DA, very nice.

I have had a lot of sleepless nights lately. It's given me a chance to assemble and black prime all of the miniatures from the first Age Of Sigmar box. Have also located all the missing miniatures and some I started several years back. It's surprising where the odd miniature can turn up.

Now for the hard part. There are 20 Khorne Blood Reavers that need a bit of paint on them. So that will be my mission over the next few days to complete as many as possible.

One miniature had got broken in storage and I have been unable to repair it. Purchased a replacement fairly cheaply. Just waiting for it to arrive. Fingers crossed it will arrive in one piece. The broken miniature will end up as a conversion later on so nothing goes to waste.

Looking good

Progress on the tanks.









That's 2 out of the 6 with camo base coat completed. 4 to go before I try and tackle the Baneblade...

How do you make the camo on your tank? They look awsome.

Also are you going to add dirt to the tracks and around the bottom of the tanks armour?

Good work on the tanks Flinty. What's the big flanged barrel on the right most tank?


Smashed on some base coats before I go to work on this dude.

I have posted so many pictures and i feel people might be confused so iv put all pictures in order from start to finish, 1st pic being start.

The order of the pictures is as follows, First pics is what the looked like when i first recieved them , next pics are me stripping them, then you see them all painted incorrectly with only base paints and no prime, so you then see me sanding down the "damage" effects on a couple of the rhinos and then stripping every thing including troops for a second time, then you see after i have finished sanding/stripping imperfections for the couple of tanks and then adding primer to them all, then you see them after i have added the gold paint. Then you see all the troops ( most were stripped twice also just like the rhinos ) after i have stripped the base paints off, and then you see them after i had finished priming, then its me finishing the gold edging, then next finishing the steel/silver edging, then the last pictures are what they currently look like/.

Ill have to do a second post to fit these pictures in. ( I cant find any pics of some other troops when i first got them, thats why you see at the start only a few and then alot more at the end, but most of them were preowned and were stripped by me twice ).

Please forgive me mods next time i do some thing like this ill be more organised, please forgive.
