And some tuesday paint night stuff:

ORC trooper just needs basing and the ineveitable paint scratch repair (and possibly some more blending once I get it under better light):


Not sure what basing will be on them.

And likewise, just need to paint up the bases I've already got for the predators:



Hopefully make some more progress this week, but at least should get something done by the weekend.

Best I can do so far this week is some finished bases for the 6mm tanks,but at least its something. Will glue then down when I get home tomorrow...

Slightly later than tomorrow but:
Some finished tanks:



Also saw a goofy reaper minis model, got it home and painted it up the same day, helped by much of it being clear:

(Rude gesture spoiler)

And got the beach base done for the ORC trooper. Needs better photos, but not today:


Also did a little more necromunda. First match lasted 1 round--Ambush with me as the ambushee, quickly had too many models down and broken, voluntarily bottled. Melta starting in 12" of you is mean. Second one was against cawdor, fairly bloody, but opponent a bit slow to pu their numbers advantage to work, let my reinforcements arrive, they chose to bottle after 3-4 went down. I lost two perma-dead between the two, another captured and eating the proceeds to get them back and re-equipped. Not sure how well the gang will recover given income available, but we'll see how it goes.



Was fun, but ambush is just mean.

Forgot pictures from paint night, then forgot to post the when I got home pics. Oops. Did remember some tonight though:
Just wanted to paint green salamander:


And some juves to catch up from the carnage sunday:

Couple stubgun/knifes that could count as swords for the cheap end, couple sword/knife and autoguns if I have a bit more creds.

More paint progress, getting ahead of things for once.

Buddy is also getting into necromunda and started buying terrain, so I made and painted up some bridge bits. 1.5mm plasticard sheet, ho scale treadplate glued on top, and some L bracket, and a nice rusty paint job:


Need some narrower ones too I think, and maybe some braces and variation? Something to think on.

Also got the juve brigade based and ready to go, next game wednesday:



We'll see how they go...

Also did some "not this" drybrush heavy stuff:
3d printed predator, and 4 old metal vindicators:


And a reaper killer ape, in my usual loud colors:

Either gonna be a lot finished all at once, or a heck of a logjam.

Grape ape! I love it!

Thanks JoshinJapan! Actually finished him up today:




Also today, started assembling the escher gang for n17 against the usual opponent:

A few more bodies to go, but all needing some conversion, so will be a minute.

Nice work on the Kape, buns and all

Great rusty bridge too, along with your usual mass progress.

Thanks Boss Salvage! The buns are kinda goofy aren't they?

Paint night stuff: little progress on the piggy:


Almost done the salamanders tanks:



Hazard stripes didn't want to photograph, but I like how they came out. Still needs a rust wash, maybe some freehand, and basing.

And found more faults in assembly needing repair on two of my escher builds, but the others got a start painting:

Hoping to get them done fairly quick so the usual opponent and I can do some necromunda.

Been a busy week, flipping schedule, but at least got a few tanks done, some salamanders for epic:



Hopefully be a bit better on finishing stuff the next few weeks, projects are piling up again...

Very cool stuff. Where did you get the textured plastic card for the top, I'm looking for something like it.

Thanks! Local FLGS for the sheet I'm afraid. It was labeled JTT scenics, which turns up some midel train supply shops, so may be orderable where you are!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, and probably auto appended, some progress on Cnebba I started back in 2022, revived for the dakka challenge:

Base color

Drybrush

More drybrush.
Not bringing him to paint night, a bit bulky and fragile, but hopefully get some progress on the tiny tanks ans such instead.

Mostly the and such at paint night.
Overview of everything and pic of escher progress:

Lots of projects with some progress, nothing quite to finished, but did mostly decide on the colors for the escher.


Mostly finished piggy, just needs basing decided and completed:


Started another pair of the reaper color knights:


And between the walking bear in that one, and these guys, made some solid progress on the dwarf bear cavalry:


Still adjusting to the new schedule, hoping to keep making progress.

Progress looking good!

Those Salamander tanks with the flames are excellent

Thanks Nevelon, hoping to actually get some done soon! And thanks llamahead, they're actually pretty fun and easy to just build up hatchmarks for, pretty much a go to when I jist want to show something finished.

Lots of incremental stuff this week.

Little bit more color on the werewolf:

And likewise the bears, mostly jaws and details:

Color knights mostly smoothed out some color on the red one:

And tried to 48hr a hyperborian heroine from reaper:

Likely not going to make it, have until 6 today I think, but have work, and currently at here:

Even though she's not quite finished the Barbarian Lady looks great for a 2 day speed job.

Actually finished last night, albeit closer to 9.


Doesn't really hold up to the unmerciful zoom of the camera, but done enough for now.

Also a little more knights progress.

Great barbarian sculpt, paint is especially nice knowing how fast you cranked her out. My one piece of feedback is that the grey base swallows her boots a bit but on the flipside it's a very classic dungeon crawl stone so whatchagunnado?

Thanks Boss Salvage! Yeah, I was thinking of doing a nice yellow dry-lake style base, but most of my other minis of that style are on cobbles--aimed lighter, but too much wash. Thinking I could have textured the boots more leather, and possibly a bit of a green-brown wash, but maybe next time.

Forgot pictures at paint night, started more 6mm stuff, and did a little on the knights, taken last night after unpacking:


Don't quite need more tac equivalents, but do like drybrushing green, so..

Quick weekend update, figured the buddy and I aren't gonna do Legions for a bit, so the tiny tanks I was keeping mum on to surprise him with are in the open, and actually done as of last update:

May go back for unit markings and some minor details, probably won't.
And some progress on cnebba, as I've got a busy period coming up, so losing some weekend paint time:

Made a 50x100mm base from plasticard, he's perhaps a bit big for it, but makes him usable for kings of war or the like, I hope. Vallejo basing paste for ground, and some terracotta milliput as adhesive and gap filler. Applied but didn't photograph another layer of paste to blend it, and tomorrow hopefully we get some dark green-brown paint on it, some more drybrush and wash, then going to try to find my snow paste, do a nice patchy winter style to fit with my shieldmaidens. Sadly, means cavalry is going to defeat me again...
