Struggling a bit with the yellow on the orruks at the moment but hope to paint them up by next weekend, managed to get the skeletons done though.

Yeah, Yellow can be a challenging color to work with. The skeletons are looking great!

If I was an evil necromancer, I’d have them around as Minions any time ...  B|

My update:  Got more done on my models.  Everything painted I am calling done except for basing.  I'm torn between a grey or a tan color for the basing.  What would look good with the dark red and blue I've got going so far?

Also, I've improved my lighting by getting another lamp and upgrading to better bulbs.  Enjoy!

And also, I assembled the Reaper Bones models that I had ready the other night.  They are now assembled.  Behold!  Goremaw (to be played as a Dread-maw), Marthrangul (to be played as a Magma Dragon), a C'thulu monster of some kind, and Shub Niggurauth (just for fun :) ).  Warchanter for scale.

I think grey or even snow covered bases would contrast very well!

Been working away on my new Tyrant for my Gutbusters. Would welcome some C.C.  and and advice on how to improve the sword. 

The sword detail is a bit hard to see... but it looks pretty solid.

I’d consider drilling out the barrel on the gun.

I think the sword is overall prettty solid. If you’re aiming for rusty and pitted, perhaps some pittting on the flat sides of the blade? Or a groove? It seems rather ... clean and not very chunky. If the look you’re aiming for is longsword then it fits the bill.. but it doesn’t have a hilt. It’s more like a long kitchen knife. But the double edge throws that off.

I was avoiding a hilt as the usual ogre weapons don't have them, definitely needs something though. 

I may try and mock up a few different blade types and see what fits. 

I want it to still look barbaric but a little more high tech than the usual weapons, to match the armour slightly more.

I think perhaps a Sabre style design might work better. Like the Chinese Sabre swords. Here’s a bunch of possibilities:

or perhaps something unique like this Tulwar from the Indian subcontinent from http://www.swordsantiqueweapons.com/

Last month I finished my core goals (8 Blood Warriors & a Blood Secrator) but did not reach my stretch target ?

I will aim to complete my 10 Blood Reavers and the Blood Stoker. Then paint Garreks Blood Reavers. 

Stretch - Paint something else either another batch of Blood Reavers or a squad of Wrath Mongers.

 

First part of my pledge is complete ?

Here are 10 fully painted Blood Reavers and Blood Stoker ?

You could go rhinox, doombull, tuskgor. Maybe attempt it lighter on the stinger. Or maybe a black with a dark reaper and fenrisian extreme edge highlight. Or possibly screamer pink or khorne red mixed with black or shaded with nuln oil twice and then highlighted with pink horror.

Finale! Progress, it only took me about 2 months to get some paint on the last daemonettes. All have some details left to go. But no glue (threw it away in the move) is holding me back. Need to glue those arms on to finish them. 

Also forgot that I was already working on: grudgethrower/trebuchet, look out gnobler and a mounted sorceress. All three started when I read the Ghb2017, due to list ideas?  so I’ll add those to the pledge

Those look like the metal Juan Diaz Daemonettes.... If so, I’d recommend looking at pinning the arms. It will help with overall stability :) (long term) 

It will be nice to see them finished! They were exemplary sculpts from the pre-computer/digital and finecast period.

Nice khorne guys. Like the contract of silver and red, stands out more than the usual red with gold.

I need some help, how do I approach the scorpion tail of this guy?

Duncan has his painting guide here:

But it doesn’t really go into the tail .... which you can see in the GW picture here F8414FFC-9418-49A7-8CF3-5EA562C9E99D.jpeg.0c793c00aaadaabfa490e84a0c629e1e.jpeg

In the citadel Paint app it looks like the standard “Brown” for the scales/armored secction (which is basically what @Oneyah suggested with the add of Agrax shade after the rhinox Hide as a shade layer before the doombull). That is then done over the base of “Dirty Black” for the under armor section (Abaddon Black > Skavenblight Dinge > Stormvermin Fur).

Good eyes, they are indeed and some of the best models gw ever produced. I thought about pinning them. But so far the first five have held up so I decided against it as I would’nt want to ruin the them. ( I have never pinned anything before and would need to get a drill etc)

My goal is to finish 2 of the 4 Shadespire warbands this month. I was going to start with the Sepulchral Guard, but then I remembered how much I hate to paint yellow so I decided to get it out of the way first. I just love painting these bad boyz! Still loads and loads of work to do, but I'm quite happy with the yellow armour so far.

Tzaangors done. Was honestly not very excited about painting them, but managed to slog through somehow.

More pictures and commentary here. Next up: basing the Gaunt Summoner + familiars, then priming and painting them. Doesn't look like I'll be able to do the Darkoath Chieftain as well, and I actually might decide to postpone him for a while. The new Darkoath Warqueen has made it clear there's more "Darkoath" stuff coming, and I kind of want to know more before I decide on a colour scheme. Same reason I won't be painting Mistweaver Saih or Tenebrael Shard for a while.

Hey bud, have you thought about a flat ended blade, such as these examples from dark souls?

Well I finished the first 10 of my 20 Pledged Blood Reavers.  Got a 40k model to finish next, and then I will get the next 10 guys.

Looking good, doing 20 Blood Reavers in  a month is going to be tough they are so detailed!
