Keep plugging away. You are doing good work, just keep at it.

Great to catch up through here, loving the Tomb Kings. The scorpion looks very cool, nice work on the bronze.

@YWS: Thanks! Not sure how soon I'll get to Hera, but I really do want to paint her.

@Nev: Thanks as always for the encouragement!

@Olthannon: Thank you! My original intent for the Scorpion was for the metallics to be gold, but it ended up looking more like bronze. I'm calling it a happy accident.

So I haven't done anything for this month's painting challenge yet, but I did manage to finish Ionus Cryptborn. Here are the final pics of him:




I am super proud of how this model turned out! I won't say it's my best work ever, but it's up there, I think. Even the base turned out exactly how I wanted it, and it was fun to apply verdigris all over the metal parts of the ruined structure. I look forward to using this guy in games of AoS; he's already getting some compliments in my local gaming group's Discord chat. And even when he's not taking to the gaming table, he'll look good on display! For my yearly goals, this'll count towards Monsters and towards finishing WIP stuff, so it's nice to get some progress towards those. He only counts as 1 model for numbers though, so I've still got a ways to go for that.

In other news, I got some more basecoats down on my Lumineth test model:

Most of the colors have been blocked in at this point, so it'll be on to shades and highlights next. I'm definitely happy with the color scheme; he looks like he should fit right in with the Fire Nation. And in related bigger news, I finally got that window in the weather I needed and got all his buddies primed. So my Summer Side Quest project can proceed. I'll need to make up for lost time!

Otherwise it's been a little bit of this and that. I put a few more Old World skeletons together, but we all know what those look like so no need for another pic of gray plastic bony bois. I also played another game of Old World, this time facing the Wood Elves. That is a tricksy army, and I did get soundly whooped. I played way too aggressively with my Priest on Bone Dragon, and when he died, my army started to crumble as he was my Heirophant. The joys of playing an undead army, I guess.

That's all for now; my entry for the July challenge is going to be the Reclusians from the Skaventide set, if I can find time for them. They're putting in solid work on the tabletop, so they deserve some paint! See you all next time.

That guy's rad. Who doesn't love a Chaplain on a dragon? Excellent work!

Nice work on the dragon, and the fire nation is coming along well.
