An evening of edge highlighting later, and I’m almost ready for the next step. Gonna try to push these through my painting desk to clear up space #minipainting
We’re at 2/11 operatives complete and just waiting to be based - I am going to be good and hold off and do that all in a batch even though all my instincts say to just do it now, and inevitably forget how I did it 😂.
I have an arbitrary goal of wanting to hit 52 minis of any given faction I am working on. With the Leviathan ones I ended up at exactly 51 Primaris Blood Angels so I grabbed this guy to hit my goal!
I must have knocked her over by accident because at some point her judgemental finger fell off. Time to check the bits for a spare Necron finger to replace it with. I'm pleased with the clothing, need to shade and layer the face and the door she is standing on feels like it could use some rust.
I finally finished up my #FinalGirl#miniatures but having issues with how I want to photograph them for the blog.
Here are some examples of a really stylized version I did, that I think captures the #horror aspect of the game but I'm not sure if a more standard set would be better so people could see the colors used better.
Thoughts? I'm putting a poll in the replies to this post if anyone is interested.
Next weekend is set aside for diving into the new Kingdom Death campaign so I've been cracking away at the new monsters all week. I'll save the narrative sculpts for later, maybe even bring some to build between the horror.
Has anyone seen painted examples of any of these? Especially the Crimson Crocodile?
With that, all the Leviathan characters are complete!
Fun to do Blood Angels in another color than red. Maybe I should do some Death Company to keep up the variety. I feel like I neglect the special BA units in favor of a BA themed army of normal Astartes units.
Need to get back in the habit of taking pictures as I go. Last month's free mini is on the desk currently, along with a Scout Kill Team and some Blood Angels Terminators.
Haven't done Sisters in a while and I didn't write down my paint list last time so I'm makingit up as I go. Base colors and a coat of nuln done. The Sacresant's armor is supposed to be darker of the two but in trying to preserve the metallic look I may have thinned the Speed Paint too much.
Solo parenting this weekend, which is nice for hobbying because my daughter will gladly sit and paint minis with me for quite a while before getting bored or into too much of a paint covered disaster.
I spent a bunch of time this morning batching through the black orcs, which felt like way more work than is visible here. Maybe this gets easier? 😬
I might have to shift to getting single models all the way done.
Wrapped up my Terminators but I haven't sat down to take she photos yet. Picked up the momentum to start the second half of the Infernus and a pile of knives with a lieutenant hidden underneath. Base colors are down, metallics next. NMM or normal metallics on all that knives?
The Superior seemed like she needed some friends to keep her company. This is turning out to be a nice simple, quick, color scheme to get to a reasonable level. It will be hard to pivot back to Space Marines instead of continuing with Sisters. I'll have to get back to them soon.
Actually surprised at how quick the highlights and details came together. I need to do some final checks and cleanup then the basing and I'm ready to call this big box finished.
Biiiiig Rima.
My #DnD character, Rima Sahr, is a rune knight fighter. Rune Knights studied the magic of giants and have the ability to grow a size larger in combat. If you then case enlarge/reduce on them, they double in size again.
I have a 3D printer.
Last of the Leviathan squads finished up! I tried to get the veterans to a good step between the red and black for the basic guys and the excess of gold that the big characters get.
Painted something just for fun and the glory of my hoooouuuussse
Since I know I won't get time to get many done I'm keeping the paint job really simple and just calling out the main stuff. Tried really hard to keep the red in the colours to help them look more cohesive and board gamey when playing.
