Sttufe Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Decided to tackle one of my miniatures and painted and washed my Endrinmaster, fixing my gunhauler's stand after it was broken due to horrible ideas on how to base. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravinsild Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) I met my goal of the month just last night! I had planned to finish a start collecting box’s worth of models and so I did. 10 ArdBoyz, 3 Gore-Gruntas and a Megaboss. The plan for April is hopefully the same but this time a Warchanter to be a true Start Collecting! Box.

JPjr Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 well... today has been a partial success, almost finished Thedra from the Godsworn Hunt, pretty pretty pretty rubbish paint job but it's been a while so just getting some paint down is a win. unfortunately I just managed to knock over an entire pot of Contrast Wyldwood 😬. I'm not sure what's more troubling losing most of that or subsequently having to use half a toilet roll to mop it all up, I mean not really sure which will be the harder to replace at this point... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same with my Templar black today 😂 lost about half, so I’m apparently only doing half of my stormcast backlog Edited March 31, 2020 by Kramer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rychek Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) I've managed to build a few models since isolation began: Lord Arcanum on Griff Charger Knight Incantor 2x Sequitors ScarVet on Carnosaur Troglodon kitbash (only basic framework in place, no greenstuff yet) Sunblood kitbash Astrolith Bearer kitbash (only got the lizard put together. The astrolith its self is not yet assembled). At some point I might get the paint out, but not until I manage to get some of them primed first.

zilberfrid Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I haven't done much lately, but will be adding a chapel and watchtower. Small buildings that I can use here or in d&d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sttufe Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Worked my way out of some painting lethargy (finally) with an endrinmaster, started practicing with washes, new painter, and started getting a unit of thunderers done. My quality has improved so much from the arkanauts to the thunderers. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zilberfrid Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Working on a bit of terrain. A Chapel to Valaya. Will finish that tonight (except for the painting, of course). Next will be a watchtower. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstu Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Going between painting Tyranids [genestealers] and Kurnothi/sylvaneth.. really love the models, a bit frustrating that there is only 5 kurnothi models as they are really nice, might buy another set and try some conversions/torso swaps. Going for a dark/warm forest feel with bright hair/tails/eyes as a contrast- might try different hair colours across the models. Might try some warpaint as well, going to base them with scrub/grasses. I'll be getting back to my Kharadron as well. I'm enjoying going between the different factions so I don't get bored with one pallet ..

It was a daunting task to do every scale by hand using that feathering technique but I love how it turned out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zilberfrid Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 My chapel is assembled, but I do want a bit of an adjustment. Did trade a bunch of metal dwarves that will be excellent material. Including Joseph Bugman! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccentricCircle Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I've been building and painting scenery kits, with the aim that when the lockdown is finally lifted I'll be able to invite everyone around, and do a warcry campaign on a packed table of ruins and fortifications. Luckily I stocked up on supplies before everything shut down, so have plenty to be getting on with. Not had much free time though, between work and D&D stuff its been non stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rychek Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Today was a good day for model building. My two oldest boys wanted to build models so they knocked out the following: Middle Son's work: 7x Saurus Knights (Cold Ones were built las week, so just the riders) 9x Saurus Warriors 1x Saurus Old Blood kitbash (my middle son decided he was going to use the leftover bits from the Carosaur Old Blood and made a pretty cool looking Old Blood on foot (not bad for a ten-year-old on his own). Oldest Son's work: almost the entire Nighthaunt force from the Soul Wars starter set. He only had a couple Chainrasps left to build before it was bed time. My work: The Stormcast half of the Soul Wars starter set. I actually built the Lord Arcanum on Griff Charger, Knight-Incantor and 2x Sequitors last weekend, but the rest were built today. I even started painting the Lord Arcanum. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StapMyVitals Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Well, this is what 80 Flagellants looks like. I know the standard is to say "this was a blast/joy/treat to paint", but this was a death march. I learned a lot though. Let me know if you want a closer look at anything in particular. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wander Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Made progress and finally assembled the last of the 140 Plague Monks I have for my 2k Pestilens force. Before all this happened I was playing 1k games with 70 Monks and the rest as a pile of shame to 'get around to one day, for sure'. Finally though all of them are assembled and split into the squads they will be fighting in. 3 squads of 40 and 1 squad of 20. Part 2 is painting them, so I can figure how to paint the larger kits to keep things cohesive. This is where the issues have started already... I decided to prime my Monks using Wraithbone, got 20 of them done before I ran out of the last of what I had of the paint. I have some Ubshanti Bone, though unsure as it's a Layer if it's suitable to prime. I also have some Ionrach Skin, though that's more of a greenish tone and as I want to use Contrast Paints to get the Monks done without driving me nuts, I feel that paint will make the first 20 I did look a different shade. Anyone have some good advice on how to proceed? I'm leaning to using Ubshanti Bone to prime the rest of my Plague Monks, then having the 20 I did in Wraithbone be the one 20-man squad. I made sure to use the last of my Wraithbone on one squad leader and the right number of banners and musicians to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilberfrid Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I would get a primer from another source, just putting a layer paint on will probably not stick very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Always use a proper primer, not just a paint. They are formulated differently and will yield different results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyZebra Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I would not use a layer paint in place of primer. I'd recommend just waiting until you can get more Wraithbone if matching the color using Contrast is your prederence. Alternatively, you could prime with a different spray and then paint using traditional paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
