The last two Fellgor are done! My Kill Team is ready to wreak havoc. 😊
I like how the gradient on the shield turned out. And the colour of the cloth parts. And the psyker eyes.
I really enjoyed painting them and I learned a lot. Especially how I want to develop my own handwriting in miniature painting moving forward.
Die aktuelle Runde im #malwettbewerb ist vorbei. Unser Communitymaler @Avarchillion (Insta) hat mit Papa Nurgle's Knight gleich richtig zugeschlagen & neben dem vernurgelten Ritter auch noch eine unfassbar gute Base gestaltet. #paintingminiatures#warhammer40k#paintingwarhammer
The Greater Good - Aetherial Sakura from Wargame Exclusive. I really enjoyed painting this model, especially as it was a good excuse to use different colours than I normally paint minis.
I played a #Warhammer40K game yesterday with my golden boys vs my friend’s Salamanders.
That was my first win in 4 games with the Custodes (admittedly, pre-Codex), the game ended after my turn 3 and before his, as he basically had no way of scoring anymore, and I had a 24 points lead, so he conceded. That was a fun game, I lost a ton of models, he did too, a slugging match!
No weird secondaries to handle, just a good, fun game for a change!
WIP. I've been painting the Greater Good Aetherial Sakura kindly sent to me by Wargame Exclusive. The model is really nice to paint, with a load of detail. I'm almost ashamed to say I've been enjoying painting Tau.
The more I play #Warhammer40K 10th edition, the more I think the game system is disappointing. I just find the « rule stacking » that is encouraged in this edition to be illegible when fighting your opponent.
Each unit has a special rule, their attached characters have special rules on top, your army and detachment add extra rules, and stratagems give even more variance.
Finished the Greater Good - Flamesword Battle General from Wargame Exclusive. I've had a load of fun painting this model, it kind of makes me want to get a Tau army.
Played in a doubles 40K tournament yesterday. It was fun, but a long day. I played my Imperial Guard and my teammate played Custodes. I was the Artillery support for his objective taking monsters.
I've been looking at #Warhammer40k but that's prohibitively expensive - #Battletech was my second choice and seems a lot more reasonable, but I'd still like to check around.
In addition to fixing some of the mould/casting limitations, I also reposed and added various details to this squad.
The basing includes dying grass around their feet.
I have a strong dislike for clear flight stands, so I do things like this.
This trio of Inceptors all have a handy piece of terrain to keep them at about the right height.
One is hopping a fence with the help of his jet-pack.
Another is landing on a box (and is lucky the box has crushed).
And the last is smashing his way though a wall.
Also of note is that I used 9 different metallic paints on these.
The wall is made of "mostly" separate bricks of plaster and foamcore.
Then pieces of broken plaster were placed individually to create the cracked plaster layer on each face of the wall.
Based around a plaster cast taken from an old Terminator 2 (cast the skin on Arnie) play set.
Now, a hard-fought location on the battlefield of the future.
Even though the statue has fallen, someone has set up a shrine with the head and built barricades.
Those barricades have not held... what has become of the occupant and what is the future of this location?
Lots of details in this piece. Too many to cover in this post.
