I’m wanting to add grass Tufts to my mini bases as my bases are boring AF currently (typically primer grey with some paint splashes from the minis feet lol)...
@erikcats thank you! I'm gutted that the made to order window has passed, so they are difficult to get hold of. But hopefully GW will do another run of them so people can get some see through ghosties!
Started feeling better enough to do some hobbying today. So I tested some of The Army Painter #warpaintsfanatic line on this test Alarith to see what the hubbub was about.
I took yesterday as a mental health day. Sent the toddler to daycare then spent the rest of the day making happy little trees, ordering cheap Chinese takeout for lunch, and binge watching #StarTrekProdigy. This is about 12 hours worth of work to get to this point. Finishing the basing and painting should take 2 to 3 hours. Not sure how long the foliage will take. I also need to figure out where I'm gonna store them...
Work continues on the forest. I've finished adding the sand to the bases, and coating them with mod podge. I've painted the trees with a chocolate brown, and then roughly added some green onto them.
Next steps will be to go over it with a light brown then a final highlight of antique white. After that I'll decide if it needs another dark wash and final highlight.
My latest game of #warhammer40k was insanely fun! Took another Ork Dread Mob list, with a Stompa, against Tyranids, and it ended on a perfect draw, 75 VP each.
What matters is that a Killa Kan exploded and took out a Pyrovore, which exploded and killed a Neurotyrant that was on 1HP, and then the Stompa with 1HP charged a Hive Tyrant, killed it, then the tyrant exploded in death, killing the Stompa, which exploded and thus killed my Mek, a Deff Dread, plus DeathLeaper, and a BroodLord. Awesome!
Finally finished with this guy. A fun project but so many books and crannies to get into. I have named him Seneca Pious in honour of someone who helped helped out a lot while I was developing him....
A truly retro painting job today. I painted up this classic 2nd edition 40K Gretchin using everyone's most nostalgic colours. Paint quality may have moved on over the years, but there is a real joy to using these paints.
@DrunkOnTea totally, new minis are stunning but on the flip side they lose the sense of being a charming gaming piece. Lovely to see these on the table.
@Alexjgriffith these were all still sealed until today. I was surprised that none of them had dried up, but maybe the little pull away seal really did its job!
