Praecautus Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Struggling with motivation most likely due to lack of games. However have made some objective markers for Khorne and 1 for Nurgle. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futa Manticore Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) So, my last post was relatively optimistic, but last week was in the vein of 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Initially, I made some good progress with my Dracoth, readying myself for the metalics when my bottle of Army Painter Platemetal dripped it's last drop. Not too worry, I had a new bottle ready for such an occasion. Or so I thought... Spoiler Now, Army Painter has a mixed reputation in regards to quality, but most of the paints I've settled on have good coverage and consistency. The new bottle of Platemetal splurged out a dollop of glittery gel which was use to neither man nor beast. Now I know what your thinking. Sometimes Army Painter needs a little, encouragement, to get the paint flowing. Bearing in mind I had already dropped in a steel ball, squeezed out the first 6 drops of medium near the top and gave the bottle a damn good thrashing, I proceeded to vigorously agitate the paint to the point my partner accused me of, well, partaking of some self-gratification, and still I was left with a pearl of ethereal glitter glue. What gets me, is that there is such a staggering contrast between the old and new paints, if you were to remove the label, I would swear it was a completely different brand. Safe to say I'm not a happy Manticore! So, whilst I'm in the process of sourcing a similar shade of metal which I haven't already rejected or isn't waiting on stock, I've busied myself with building some Daughters of Khaine and undercoating my salvaged Myrmourn Banshee. I this regard, I shall revise my pledge as such Paint: 2 Lord Celestants on Dracoth 5 Liberators 5 Sisters of Slaughter 5 Witch Aelves 8 Myrmourn Banshees Lastly, I was pleasantly surprised to receive my Girls Und Panzer decals much earlier than anticipated and have completed my Churchill for the elegant Saint Glorianas. One of the reasons I've avoided 40k is that I've never been overly enthusiastic about vehicles, but this was a nice change of pace and I look forward to cracking out some of the more characterful tanks of Ooarai. Photos will follow this weekend. Happy painting! Edited January 21, 2021 by Futa Manticore 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futa Manticore Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 @RocketPropelledGrenade Really liking the bone, gold and blue on the Ossiarch. Were you inspired by Tomb Kings or just a coincidence? @Sonnenspeer Y'know, the more I see the orange and pastel blue scheme for Lumineth the more appealing it becomes. Have you had any thoughts what colours you may make the horses if you paint up some Dawnriders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuminethMage Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 @Sonnenspeer Gratulation : ). Very nice, both of them! The Iliatha scheme is interesting, and nice touch with the orange flowers on the base! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThalmorRepresentative Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Finally had a late Christmas with the family :). W.I.P. Worked on my first test Namarti Reaver, still have some ways to go. Need to find another color for trousers. Also some airbrush work on some eels Edited January 24, 2021 by ThalmorRepresentative 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futa Manticore Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I present; WIP of my Myrmourn (the one in the middle is how they should look when complete) 5 Sisters of Slaughter (loved painting these ladies and the Witch Aelves are going well. I'm glad I've went for a unified bases across both my Death and Order armies, though impractically armoured bikinis are hardly proper attire for snowy tundra) 1 28mm Churchill (surprisingly fun to paint, and I look forward to painting up some Matildas) Still need to do some work on photographing bright models on a dark background...

ThalmorRepresentative Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Namarti Thrall - lots of washes and a few highlights, still a little ways to go. Wanted to experiment and see if I could match one of my airbrushed eels by brush. Took more time and some advice, but I'm happy with the result. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyRyan Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Well, I could probably keep doing highlights for another month but I think I'm happy with him as he is - other than his eye and some more basing details, my Warstomper!

Futa Manticore Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Cutting it close but I'm calling it complete Gotta say, those Daughters of Khaine are a fantastic change of pace. At first, I was reluctant due to their relative small size when compared to Stormcast and Nighthaunt , but I managed to keep my ambitions in-line with my abilities. I think a nice pastel blue will work nicely for the the mutations of the Melusai and Khinerai 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KratosvonCarstein Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 January has been super productive for me! I finished: Colossal Squig 3 Rockguts 18 Squig herd(s) Maybe my mangler squig! Also basecoated a lot of trolls, squigs gobbos and finished their bases. Not the greatest camera though but the army is coming along nicely. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogarrah Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I actually finished my meager paint contract for once, my Daemon Prince and 3 Bloodreavers are all done and I built up my 20 Bloodreavers and the Slaughterpriest. Oh! I also have a painting blog now where I share my terrible... er amazing ideas and techniques (so as not to clog up this forum with VERY lengthy entries as I have in the past) and give updates on where I'm at in my hobby journey, so go ahead and check that out: The Neckbeard Monthly - The Grand Alliance Community (tga.community) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Just in under the wire with this one, but here's my January pledge finished. About 120 minis total, plus a group shot with my Nurgle daemons from last year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
