Steelhelm body with GSC shotgun and Stormcast helm. I originally thought two pauldrons would be too much, now one looks like too little. Maybe if it were on the leading arm it would be better? I may need to add some metallics to show chipping on the helm and pauldron still.
Bit of green accent to use these guys for Eire Rangers once there is a whole group of them.
Snail mama by Micheal Kontraros, this bust was particularly difficult to paint because the tool marks from the clay sculpture carried over. It wasn’t nice and smooth even after proper preparation.I wanted to capture a kind of playful maliciousness in kind of an illustration /comic style.
Blocking in the colours on Captain Carrot. Partly to check the colour combos (trousers were too light and needed a chestnut wash) but also to check layering and order of painting.
Hope everyone's having a good day, I managed a bit of progress on some Witch Aelves; just started the color blocking, but since it's been ridiculously humid and I've been unable to prime models, I'll call this a win!
Finished with the Urbanmechs just in time for tomorrow’s Urbie Derby. I got to try a bunch of new things with these. Used #thearmypainter#speedpaint both on the brush and through the airbrush, and the fanatic paints on a couple. First time I ever used the zenithal to guide where to go darker and lighter. Used Newsh after clear coating to bring out some panel lines. Really happy with how things turned out. #battletech#miniaturepainting
Stormlight, Battletech (before the Mercenaries kickstarter arrives), Robotech, some random samurai minis that will be joined by others eventually, and some Gundam Artifact.
Getting my life back in order post-move. May need to get a small table for the kitchen for the 3d print curing, but I can pretty easily fit the printer itself into the hobby room, along with a corsi-rosenthal box.
I have an Asylum Demon from Dark Souls on my table. Basically it's just a big sloppy butt with a tail and wings, but I still wanna paint it well. I basecoated it dark brown and sorta bone white/desert brown. Where do I go from here? #DarkSouls#MiniaturePainting
Back on the #TrenchCrusade this weekend, planning to finally get a game in this week. Currently trying to get a bit more confident with #GreenStuff and sculpting tools, which are pretty new to me!
Nearly completed the first of two #Mordheim wells (gotta be prepared for the 🎲🎲) and then started my @Thrudball legacy team Akhorne, inspired by @StuWatts ofc. #nutsforthenutgod ofc but THIS THING IS SO EFFING SMOL
I’ve been in a real painting slump lately but I did manage to nearly finish these guys tonight (I started them weeks ago). They’ve got some real wonky eyes because painting eyes inside a helmet is a massive pain in the ass and I had zero patience for it today. All that’s left to do is give them a matte varnish and add sand and grass to the bases. #wip#paintingminiatures
I’ve been messing around with my airbrush for a bit now, and finally had the chance to put #ArmyPainter#speedpaint through it. Had an interesting AB situation. I had done the one on the left using a regular brush and the one on the right through the airbrush. I probably went heavier than necessary (yay inexperience), but they look pretty comparable, particularly in the panel lines. I will airbrush base coat with speedpaints again. #miniaturepainting#battletech
