Vaux Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Slowly progressing through the Brutes, will post a picture tomorrow I guess. *mumbles* Lines..... so many thin lines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaras Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Badly. Two ard boyz and the Savage Big boss, which i guess is an ok start. Really don't like these ard boyz. Should've done the brutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've done the brutes... Then just change what you're doing. Put them away until later and get those brutes done. The 'ard boys can go stand in the back of the queue. I'm probably going to modify my goals myself if I can manage to get through finishing these blue horrors.... I'm not feeling the vibe for the models I had proposed as my goals. I'm thinking the Cogsmith from Hammerhal or maybe some blightkings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogroid...not yet primed. The ogroid was a pretty quick paint for me. The runes were fiddly. But the large skin Surface area made for an enjoyable painting run on that model. [emoji4] "Pro Tip" - Not attaching/ gluing the staff arm makes it easier to paint the right leg and belt area. (I didn't do that....it was not friendly not impossible ... just not friendly.) (And the staff flames and large surface make for a nice opportunity for some lightly drybrushed OSL from the flames on the staff.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 @Oneyah those bases look really good! Love the green gems. Will you be doing those on special models throughout the force? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Valkia is taking shape, I need to redo her face and finish the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaras Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Well, after much procrastination, I managed to meet my goals for the two months out of three, which will have to do, as Meatloaf said, it aint bad. Anyway, here are the ard boyz, and may I never have to paint any of them ever again... Firstly, a group shot of all ten... Next, the two handers. These were pretty annoying to paint fully assembled, lesson learned. Lastly, the Savage Big Boss. There are no tattoos yet as I can't decide on 1. the colour for them, and 2. an easily replicated design. Oh well, models are never really finished, right... Firstly, in all his tongue wagging glory and next, just to show off the blue and a bit of a different angle. Comments as always are welcome. Good luck in the last days of June!

Praecautus Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 They are full of character, love 'em, especially the group shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaras Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks @Praecautus. I would say it was a labour of love, but this was more a "lets just get through this and never speak of it again" moment. I am hoping to get a worn look, as they have been beaten down hard and forced from their normal hunting grounds into a world that is totally alien, resorting to almost gobbo like behaviour, having to shun the light of Hysh and only come out at night to hunt. Hence the janky (love that word) look, beat up, rusty, dirty. Be interesting to see what the brutes look like given this treatment, coz they are Augusts pledge (no July for me).

Soulsmith Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I think we all get that slog sometimes!I have had a rubbish painting month, the skin on the skyfires isn't even finished. I will try and get them done in July them I'm moving back to ironjawz I think. I did finish the balewind vortex though, so pictures incoming. Gotta say the crazy hot weather really ruined some dedicated paint time, it just dried too fast to make anything up to scratch.Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treemonkey Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Finished my Kairic Acolytes, pics coming tonight. Ogroid Thaumateurge is still on the desk, some base coating done. Might finish him tonight. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidings Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I made really good progress this month, completing most of my goals pretty early on. My Treelord is on hold as I really WANT to paint that one so I'm using it as a reward for doing other models first. I haven't quite finished the Treekin and instead of my bonus Eternal Guard, I'm doing Sisters of the Watch. They are like 60% done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praecautus Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 She is done - although I expect I will revisit a couple of bits, two blood warriors have been started too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherJosh Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 My Pledge was: Ogroid Thaumaturge, Darkoath Chieftain, 2 Pink Horrors, 4 Blue Horrors and 3 Flamers of Tzeentch. I changed up my 'Stretch Goals' and completed the CogSmith, and an Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch instead of the Gaunt Summoner and crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My painting went a little off course this month with a friend dropping £150 in Death out of the blue and giving me Nagash (base needs finishing) to paint for him as he's new to Warhammer. Also had a commission for some Blood Bowl Skaven and actually painted some of my own stuff - Knight Venator, Vexillor and Heraldor. More pics to follow....

Vaux Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Doing the finishing touches on my Brutes and my Warchanter, will posts some pictures tomorrow I guess. This month was awful to me when it comes to painting anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
