The Lockdown/Isolation Hobby Progress unity/log!


Overread

Recommended Posts

I have not really more time to paint due to the crisis, in fact I have less time, busy as hell at the moment at my work. But I had a relatively productive weekend. yesterday I was able to do the banshees for Lady Oly, and today I finally did a lot of non hobby related things in the house that were bugging me for months.

Hope I can do the base next weekend, or at least make a good start. Painting is a great way to get  unstressed for a bit

So during my stuck-at-home time I've decided to focus on my Seraphon.  My entire army is almost completely painted except for 6 models.  Those will be painted of course, however the majority of my hobby time is going to be updating the paint scheme on the rest of the models.

I've learned a lot since I started my Seraphon nearly 5 years ago.  They were my first AoS army and I've definitely improved since them.  I'm painting them up as Coalesced and so I want to have brighter colors that stand out from 3 feet away.  Here's an example of of old vs. new.

I've been slowly working through my Seraphon one Battlefoam tray at a time (I touch up everything in one foam tray before moving on).  So I've completed my Saurus Guard, a Sunblood, and the new Realmshaper Engine.  Those last two were purchased for the new release and I really like how they turned out!

Progress has been slow, but I finally got a chaos mind cat! 

Then followed a long hunt as I was sure I had a phoenix model, but I could not find it! Went through my main model storage and didn't see it and half convinced myself that I'd sold it along with a bunch of other high elf stuff last year. However when I checked what I'd sent out I didn't find mention. Back to the mystery and I re-checked the box - turns out I'd missed it! There it was safe and sound and ready to have its wings clipped and cut and chopped at by a madman with a pair of clippers!

I've now clipped the wings down and got them ready, hopefully tomorrow I can attach them to the body and start adding some greenstuff to the join area. After that I'll have to start making some feathers and fur to just mask over where the join area is.

I am GM for our Shadows over Hammerhal play through and am preparing and researching for it now. I think it is going to be cracker.  Having a lot of fun thinking about how the background will inform my exotic adversary choices and how we can play the Cinderfall section as an almost-RPG. I'll be interested in following your progress @amysrevenge!

I'm continuing with the update to the Seraphon: Hunting Packs complete!

Gods! Salamanders are an ugly model!

Next up, a Troggboss for a friend. Then Saurus Knights and Chameleon Skinks.  One day I may even paint a battleline unit!

Lovely job the spire tyrants!  I haven't even primed mine yet!  :D 

I have a quick questions about this little bestie-gor.  I have a Beasts army that I'm painting dark blue and black for the skin and fur.  I really like your scheme as well and I think it would match my current colors but be different enough to provide some variety.  Would you mind going over how you painted the skin, fur, and horns? 

Thanks! 🐐

Sure! The beastman was my favorite model in this set.

Some gors have human-like skin tones, but I decided to do something different. That said, the actual color recipes are pretty standard.

Skin is Mechanicus standard grey, nuln oil wash, dawnstone drybrush and layer.

Fur is rhinox hide, agrax earthshade wash, doombull brown drybrush.

Horns are zandri dust base coat, agrax earthshade wash, ushabti bone drybrush. Do the drybrush heavier towards the tips.

For your army, you could try doing a blue wash instead of black on the grey. The rhinox hide + doombull has an orange/red tone that contrasts nicely with blue, but isn't overpowering.

I had a very productive April, considering work is unreal busy, but with working from home and not allowed go too far I've painted:

• 10 Chainrasps

• 4 Glaivewraith Stalkers

• Most of the Warcry terrain

WIP: 4 Myrmourn Banshees and the thorns of the briar queen basecoated

Rest of the terrain only requires painting of small details to finish (which will probably take longer than the rest of it!)

Tried the loaded brush technique to paint the ghostly effect which helped speed things up. Also use oil washes on the metal areas for the first time, thought it worked well.

Trying to get my The Drowned (Nurgle Daemons Warcry warband) ready for painting: 

Duke1.jpg

Duke2.jpg

group1.jpg

I had this idea of a warband (Nurgle allegiance) made from deep sea horrors and horrible drowned zombies. Think Deepkin, but much more dark. The idea is that sailors and divers (which I'm sure exists in the mortal realms - if not, they do now) sometimes succumb to ilnesses of the ocean, like scurvy and other horrible diseases. When they do, the great father offers them the chance to be freed from pain and suffering - if only they wow to serve him in the sea. Many say yes, and plunge themselves into the sea, while wowing their pledge to the Nurgle. Indeed, the pain and suffering disappears, but so does their will and sanity. All that is left are bloated, drowned hulks of the men they were, seeking only to taint the living.

They are led into battle by the Duke of the Depths, a silent knight of the ocean, carried into battle by a huge squid-beast, accompanied by horrible giant Whelks and other sea monsters. 

To most, they are little more than a legend that is whispered of by the campfires in the eightpoints. Stories are told of warbands, treading dry and barren earth, and suddenly finding their feet submerged in ankle high water. Through a heavy fog stumbles the rotting forms of once noble seafarers and divers, and horrible monsters emerge. Few have seen them, and fewer still have survived to tell the tale of The Drowned. 

 

Wow, impressive work. Can you tell me where the crab is from? Is it Antimatter Games? Where are the diver helmets from? Really nice!

Thanks a lot! Sure thing, it is Armoured Whelks from Wyrds The Other Side. Be warned though, they are preassembled (and not very good) and made from a crappy crappy semi soft plasticlike material, that is very detailed yes, but an absolute horror to clean up. I think it took more time to clean that crab up, than the rest of the warband combined.
