I decided to push forward on the Blood Cauldron, and I have now reached a point where I'm happy with it. There's always more things that COULD be done, but I'm calling it here before becoming lost in the weeds.
I'm at that weird stage with a model where I need to decide if "enough is enough" or go all in and keep at it forever.
What do you all think? Should I keep finding more and more details? Also, is there anything glaring?
#hobbystreak 1480, big work on the robe, got some on point consultation from local color expert, because, as I said, I don't see difference between blues and purples.
Made the first #BloodBowl 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- #blanchening I guess.
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.
And I felt inclined to sculpting a face on one for a #BloodBowl 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😬
Had some time to work on the giant, which is nearing completion. The #Fedipaint entry I've had enough of so I'll wrap it up in the coming days and fuck it
On the up side, I've has the honour of playing an inaugural match in the school #WarhammerAlliance stadium.
So I'm kind of liking the red highlighting now and I'm surprised that I don't want to take a power drill to the skin tone I created. I think I need more practice with these things ...and that this one needs more work ...
Started on a lazy tartan on the #BloodBowl sporting giant but am unsure: abort or continue?
Also built two #gaslands cars at the school #WarhammerAlliance. And the kids working on the stadium have finished it! Now to encourage students to have us print teams they can paint and use!
The titan's torso is assembled enough to get a glimpse at the final product and he's HUGE! For reference, the can of Zandri Dust spray primer is 7.75" tall and that chainsword is 14.75" long from tip of blade to bottom of powercell. This guy is a towering 22.5" tall and he doesn't even have his carapace armor, guns, or void shields on yet!
So I have still be doing my #HobbyStreak, just not really been posting due to a mixture of the family stuff and a dicky tummy, so let’s share what I have painted between days 77-84
If you've never seen one before, here's an Acastus Knight Porphyrion fresh out of cleaning bath to remove the mold release. This is going to be a big boy. That one hull chunk on the right is larger than the entire upper carapace of a Questoris/Abominant class knight, larger than a Cerastus as well by the look of it. This is why I haven't posted Titan progress lately.
I have been slowly plodding away with these Vigilors a little bit each day to keep up the #HobbyStreak, but posting has been not happening cause of some stuff at home
But here is a squad of Vigilors I have finished to show you for days 70-76
Taking a break from the Titan (not really, the epoxy is just drying) to paint something a little different. So I went ahead and painted up a couple Khorne Daemons to be allies, starting with two characters. These were fun to do and were relatively quick to paint. I'm especially proud of the Skullmaster's sword.
