The last mini I'll be painting for a while as I'm heading to the airport in a few hours for a well-earned holiday. But as a last model, I painted this Tyranid for Hive Fleet Behemoth.
I thought I would try something a little smaller than normal today. I painted some Death Guard Space Marines for Legions Imperialis. These guys really are tiny, but I still managed some edge highlights!
@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!
