I have an Eldar Farseer conversion that has been sitting around for a while, so I aim to complete the conversion and then paint it.

I put two coats of paint on the first hairy monstrosity. I think it's working.

For the record btw, when spring starts (probably next week?) I'll be online a lot less, so only expect me to be here to show proofpics and finished works for challenges.

I see how it is, as soon as you get a bit of sunshine it’s down with the forums and off frolicking in your swimming trunks!

I have been found out. *hides in the sunlight*

Great place to hide. Most of us burst into flames under the harsh gaze of the dreaded Day-Star. It burns us sooooo.

<Hissssssss>

I'm not a fan of the room with the blue ceiling either. Not to mention it's still winter where I'm from.

Lol.

Henceforth Mr.Helveine shall be known as ‘The Daywalker’….

A bit of progress on first Guardian, will be travelling for a few days so probably no more work until Monday.

Progress on the Avatar of Khaine. I like how it's turning out so far. I just need to paint the bronze parts, then I can wash the metallics. You can't even tell that I broke a piece.

Great start, looking forward to follow this one! Bought the Avatar kit recently and quite daunted by the size and how hard it is to paint fire.

I have a Redemptor Dreadnought that I started over a year ago and never got around to finishing, still not even finished with the basic blocking in of base colors. Proof pic:

Hopefully this isn't too far along to be acceptable.

That’s fine.

Great to see people knocking the dust off things and getting them finished. Lots of fun stuff!

What, I slow process
After pulling all my marines off the temporary mounts to wash & scrub again. I have been brush priming them (nonstop rain all week) 11 at a time, then popping them off the bases and putting 11 more on, since the bases I ordered got delayed. My vacation is almost over, so I wanted to push to get something done.

Ever since I started the hobby I've loved the look of then leman russ but I've never had the skills to pull it off to a standard I liked, I feel like I'm finally able to and as such will be painting a steel legion leman russ commander, it's ready to put the first coat of paint on now, already put armor texture on though

Dammit sideways photos

So, continuing my Farseer conversion of Eldrad into a regular Farseer.

I cut off the arm and staff, the headgear, and the arm with the missing sword.

I started on my lead Gnot Tank last month thinking that I could knock it out while the rest of you were painting space marines. After priming, base-coating it yellow and painting the treads dark grey, I promptly lost motivation.
So to solve that problem, I'm going to triple-down and not only finish it, but also two more to round out the squad in less than one month! If you believe in miracles, that is. We'll see how far I get.
Proof:


One Bad Moon, the black one is going Goff, and the khaki one is going to be representing the Sunz.

Five zombies from Resident Evil 2 The Board Game were supposed to be my entry for the January challenge From the Shadows, but I had no time to complete the entry. Two that were only undercoated got carried over to the February challenge Out With the Old, In With the New. That leaves these three, so let's finish this.

I believe in miracles! You got this!
It is quite often actually that I find me self grouping models or projects and painting groups. Oddly, I get more motivation points than doing a single.

My bases arrived. I've gotten all my tactical marines onto bases and primed. The dry brushed the group with black primer and used homemade black contrast on the ones with the light grey primer. I'm searching out enough backpacks and guns for them now.

Something finished! It is time...for the Age of Ultron!

Rather pleased with this.

Might tidy up a bit around the blast, but basically done.


Progress on the rest of the gang. 5, hopefully, will be done by end of the month! Cap and Caps pretty much there, tbh. I'd like to get Bucky done though as feels thematic.
Also, I've run out of GW sepia and fleshshade. Any recommendations? I think I'm going to move away from the GW washes. Too darn pricey.

DONE
I am not good at these, the chunky bits are hard for me to paint, also to tell where one thing ends and other begins.
A bit more pictures are info here https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/150/780044.page#11657006

I was just looking over my 2k army list today, and realised I never actually got around to building the Chosen with Chaos Icon - technically she's superfluous since I've got eight minis on the go already, but the whole point of this theme is 'finish the damn army', so here's a proof, just in case she winds up being one of the five I submit as the entry when they're done (assuming I get them all done).

The Avatar of Khaine is finished! I'll post the final photos later today.

And here are the final photos of the Avatar:

So let’s see.
3 agressors from November’s “wrecking ball” need 2 more blue layers, cleanup, edges, decals and bases. Plus all the gun hands and frag launchers.

Stormhawk was going to be an open round test of contrast over white for my ultras. Plus was supposed to be one of the 3 oldest things in the prime pile for last year.

Saurus is another test for the blue, needs washes for the gold, details, and who knows what else.

War walker is one of the oldest things for this year, might make it.

Other odds and ends.

Got a bit more work done, to my surprise.

More pics on me blog

Progressing with making my Dark Angels green.

A third of the month is gone and progress is slow for me. The boss Wookiee is getting there but at this rate I won't finish the squad. So I'm hoping real life leaves me a bit more time for a while. And maybe I should try not to get distracted by other stuff. That might help, too...

Progress:


Cheers,

First of the half finished guardians now almost finished, varnish and assembly left, and a base of course.
