LET'S PAINT STUFF: Damn! That was a productive Weekend

Hello once again!

Okay I know I did a post not too many days ago where I showed off some works in progress.  Had to put a halt on them as I was missing a few paints....but I got them!  I spent most of yesterday pounding them out and getting more of my projects done.

So to start off:

BAM!  Tzeentch Chaos Warriors, all properly highlighted and done!  Now the guy on the left was my test mini so he's a bit rough when it comes to painting. However I have the colour scheme down so the other two came out quite a bit less sloppy.

I have 2 more waiting on my desk, but they are half ready and still need prep work.  They won't be finish any time soon as I work on the line of already prepped models. With that said....

One blacksmith and a ball of fire!  Two D&D minis I can cross off my list.  I still have to finish up the rest of my town blacksmith project but at least I got him done.  Also my Wizard in D&D has a physical representation of the "Flaming Sphere" spell to make tracking it in battle easier.

So what is next?  Well....more AoS!

I bought this Lord-Relictor almost 2 years ago and now I want it off my damn desk and in my display case to help lead my Stormcast.  He's going to be quite a bit more work then my Other Stormcast but the paint job should be relatively the same.

Here's hoping I can have him done by the end of the week!

LET'S PAINT STUFF: Getting a Rhythm Going

Hello everyone!

Alright so I am back with what I've been working on so far.  I didn't manage to get as much done as I would of liked but I did manage to get a few things done to show off.

So for starters I am happy to report my Conan pirates are done!

The last 5 pirates are done!  I decided to change up the paint scheme to make things interesting.  My plan on making all the pirates pants red fell apart when I realized that, in this instance, white pants would look best.

I am finally done these!  Oh my god!  now I'm done 30/105 models in my Conan box game and I can get the next batch of 5 on my paint table.

For now I decided to get another batch of models that has been sitting on my desk for the last 2 years done.

Tzeentch Chaos Warrior!  I had bought some used minis cheap in order to make a 1000pt Mortal Tzeentch army list.  I had half painted one for the last 2 years but never finished.  So now I'm...kinda finished him.

To be honest I'm not totally happy with the paint job on the armor.  I need to do more of an edge highlight but I, apparently, do not own a blue colour any lighter then whats on him and I hate mixing because I often forget my mixture and it puts the colour off.

So they are on hiatus until I can go and pick up some new paints.  While that is waiting I decided to start on these.

The Bones Blacksmith and a Fireball!  I already mentioned then Blacksmith in an earlier post but the Fireball I need as my current D&D character...well, lets just say the only decent spell he can cast is flaming sphere.  I figured I could use a model to represent that.

Well that's its for now!  Hopefully I'll have more done by the end of the weekend.

Till then!

LET'S PAINT STUFF: Slower then I thought

Hello all!

Well I thought I'd have a group of Bloodreavers done by the end of the weekend...that didn't work out sadly.  However I got them MOSTLY done and finished them off this week.  So here are the first set of reavers!

This is a somewhat terrible picture but I finished 5 Bloodreavers for my Bloodbound army!  Now that there is news about a new battletome as well I definitely have a reason to focus and getting them done before the book drops.

I have another 5 minis sitting in pieces on my desk waiting to be cleaned up and glued together.  I also have to dedicate some time to getting some bases setup for them to match all my other AoS minis.

While I work on that I have one other thing I managed to complete this week.

One, quickly painted Grizzly bear from the new D&D Nolzur line.  The Druid in my D&D group makes it a habit to turn into a bear whenever possible.  So when as was at my local game store and saw this bad boy I had to grab him and quickly paint him up.

Well that is all I painted this week.  I have some Conan minis I want to pound out as well as prep some more D&D stuff to use in my new campaign,

Bye for now!

LET'S PAINT STUFF! January Complete!

Hello everyone!

So the month of January has come and gone and it is now time to tally up the minis I painted for the month.  My goal is to finish painting a bunch of stuff I have had half finished on my desk.  As well as paint some box sets I had purchased recently.

With that said, lets take a look at the minis I finished before the end of the month!

Steelheart's Champions are done!

I have completed my first box set of this year.  So my Shadespire box can go on the shelf as I move on to other projects. That also means that my total number of minis painted in January comes to 13.

5 x Garrek's Reavers
3 x Steelheart's Champions
5 x Conan Pirates

Not a bad start considering I only really started painting half way through the month!  So now to move to some other stuff I have cluttering my desk.

I had bought this box set almost 2 years ago.  I hadn't really gotten around to finishing it although I have painted the Liberators in the box.  I still have 2 Retributors, 3 Blood Warriors and 5 Bloodreavers.  I figured I could use these to flesh out the Stormcast/Bloodbound armies I already have.

With that said:

5 Bloodreavers on the paint table and ready to go!  Hopefully I'll have them done by the end of the weekend so I can move on to a few other bits I had picked up last weekend.

Until next time!

LET'S PAINT STUFF! 2019 Great Mini Clearance continues!

Hello Everyone!

Oh man, I'm getting back into a groove and finished up the last 2 of Garrek's Reavers.  So lets get going and showing off what I've finished!

Garrek and his Reavers, all painted up.  They were fun to paint up mostly due to the fact I decided to mix up the skin tone on many of them just to avoid boredom.

So the first part of my Shadespire box is done.  I have Steelheart's Champions in the pipeline but I decided to finish off another batch of my Conan minis in the meantime.

5 more pirates done!  I must say, part of the reason it's taken me so long to get these done is because I absolutely HATE painting them.  They are small and spindly and have tiny details that are hard to get too. 

However!  I only have 5 more of them to paint so hopefully I can quickly roll up my sleeves and pound them out so I can focus on the other minis in the box.

So that's all for now, I'll have more updates soon!

Happy New Year! LETS PAINT STUFF!

Hello Everyone!

Alright so a new year is upon us and I haven't really been painting anything in the last 3 months...so that has got to change!

Figured I would get to work on something I hinted at last time.  So without further ado...

Garrek's Reavers!  The first 3 minis in the warband at least.  The last two are currently drying after a vigorous wash.  Meanwhile Steelhearts Champions are currently half built and waiting for a less humid day to get base coated.

I mean to get this box set done so I can move on to another mini project I've been planning for.

My local game store got a stock of Mantic's Terrain crates and I picked up one of the smaller sets.  In addition I have this Bones blacksmith that I figure I'll paint up to go with it too.  All of this if for a D&D campaign I'm currently working on and figured I could use some more townspeople for it.

That's it for my first update of the New Year, until later!

Cleaning off the Paint Table: Back for a New round and new Army!

Hello all!

Well I'm back!  after a rather long hiatus where I barely put brush to paint I decided to sit down and force myself to get some painting done.  I figured something quick to just to ease into it again so I can get my groove on.

Three Giant rats for my D&D Campaign!  Now I had painted these up specifically for "The Sunless Citadel" as the adventurers will run into these buggers right at the beginning.  I have to paint a few more but I can add these to my Dungeon Encounter list!

Now to move on to something else.  Frankly I have been lazy and I really haven't been painting as much as I should.  So my goal is to pound out at least ONE model by the end of the week.

With that in mind I have just gotten this

Shadespire!  I'm already in the process of painting them up.  Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of the week.

Stay tuned!
