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.
Half of the clear plastic ghosts box painted up. Knowing how quick and easy they are, I'll smash through the other half of the box when I only have a couple of hours to spare.
Worked some more on my new #Mordheim#rescuehammer 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
My first painted Age of Sigmar army! The Nighthaunt Vanguard box, getting ready for the Spearhead game mode. Heavily inspired by the grieving legion theme, but with some brighter colors. My wife mentioned that it puts off a Scooby-Doo vibe and I'm ok with that.
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.
I swear I’m not just screaming #Mordheim at you because I want to, swear @erikcats made me do it… that and I want to scream Mordheim at you. #FacesOfMordheim 1/7
The Brothers of the Green Handkerchief. As nice a mob of religious zealots as you’re ever going to meet - including some situably badly named characters including Captain Heinehienicksoon Von Karmle Glassen Auge and his three dugs, Duggle, Gruffe, and Wafver Wafve.
You might recognise some of these craft souls - they double up as my Stir River Partol for #WHFB, they’re the same in #Mordheim but run as Reiklanders.
Some hired swords of much renown including my favourite #Fedipaint entry Luthor Wolfenbaum. Also on display are the bane of my Mordheim Existence - the Dwarf Treasurer Hunters piloted by @seanayres5.
Here’s some pieces from two warbands I’m working who couldn’t be further apart. They’ll soon grace the Tabletop and make names for themselves when I drag some folks together to introduce them to #Mordheim in the not too distant future.
The Undead. These napped fellows were piloted by Ms Drumlinhat when she cordially agreed to a couple of games. They delivered a sound trashing to some Witchhunters as befits the sentiments of both themselves and my marvellous otherhalf.
Long time no toot. #FediPaint finish line is just around the corner, and I’m still in the middle of things.
I went in on some some watered down skeleton horde, followed up with a glaze of Wraithbone with a pin prick of red through it to help bring up the colour (recommendation from an Uncle who actually knows what he’s talking about). Pretty happy with where I’ve got to tonight - but seeing a couple of evenings still ahead here!
Having finished the Cauldron of Blood it's time for something a little less intricate, as a treat! The Endless Spells in AoS are some of the most fun models to paint, and since they're formed of magic who cares if you pick out all the details? But in this case... a blood snake is made of blood, so of course it's (three different shades of) blood red!
