day 922

Worked some more on my new kids. Lots of love for this here sorcerer but he's a bit of a problem given his previous owner didn't varnish him before priming. Chipping might occur.

Anyway once I've gone and done the skin I'll show you some sexy chaos leg action

I'm getting "your work looks like Masters of the Universe" so often that I'm going out of my way to make this guy who HAS A SKULL FOR A HEAD not look like Skeletor.

We'll see how that goes.

Small scale productive.

  • varnished and flocked my sporting giant;
  • tried my hand at doing this dremel flagstone pattern thing;
  • applied iyanden yellow to the as a base coat;
  • did admin for the upcoming league I'll run. Looks to be exciting! I'll need five pitches FFS😂

Some of the goodies I picked up yesterday at the Exeter Legionary Wargames Show. Some classic 2nd edition Gretchin and Space Marine scouts, some Bolt Action Australians, and some of the classic paints, including Goblin Green.... let's hope they still work.

Dear @Berit

Please accept my entry, even though I burned out on the project 2 weeks in.

I love the challenges you set us, and it's purely my need for bright and light and colourful that scuppered my enthusiasm.

Another factor may have been my oil wash, varnish, oil wash sequence, which apparently forked shift up.

Did enjoy making the loincloths a lot, tho!

crew, I'm at a loss what to do with the inside of Jean's collar thing.

Do I make it dark grey like her boots? Yellow (the chest will be yellow too)? Purple (as the cult icon sash thing on her hip will be)? Leave it white? Other?

Taking suggestions!

day 901

Made the first 7s league in my area a definitive fact, 21/5 kickoff evening! Haven't got a name yet but one came up with a gem.

Also added the last eye white to my elves, and applied ochre dry pigment to them, to varying degrees of success, and added lighter orange to the loin cloths. That's un- I guess.

Other angle of Wardancer with ochre on his skirt. Guess he didn't get fouled as he lay.

#HobbyStreak day 900

Did a few arboreal things, such as making sure the leaves don't fall off, getting a better face on there and priming. Also basecoated the Wheelie Bin of Doom to go with my #CountBBFace team as a vargheist. Poll below about appearance.

All the eyes of my #Fedipaint elves have now been pre-whitened.

Well well well, let's see if i can make this work for

And built three models

And I felt inclined to sculpting a face on one for a treeman and I'm giving up immediately again 😬 may steal a Trish Carden face with oyamaru clay and stick that on.

And built v2 of my paint holder. Found out the 3mm plywood is 4mm and warped AF😬

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.

Started on a lazy tartan on the sporting giant but am unsure: abort or continue?

Also built two cars at the school . And the kids working on the stadium have finished it! Now to encourage students to have us print teams they can paint and use!

'nids playing 40k.

As a refresher between projects I knocked out this silly little idea. And it's proven more popular than any of my other projects every time I've shared it, now it's Mastodon's turn.

Two rippers, sporting their army colours (Dark Angels Vs Chaos space marines), with a 1:56 scale 4x8 table and an impressive terrain layout. Plus a rule book.

@DrH mate this is hilarious. And so fucking skillful

@DrH@warhammer.social avatar

Pox Walkers.

2 squads of 'em. One lot as they came and only painted, the other squad (at the bottom) have been modified to make them unique.

Arm and weapon swaps, plus some additional putty work is what distances them from the vanilla mini's.

Had "fun" researching dead/diseased flesh in preparation for painting these.
