  1. Big green tank is big and green. It's #hobbystreak day 49 and I really needed to do some painting tonight for my own head.

  2. Return to Base

    The Warmaster project carries on and the custom MDF base has arrived. This is a massive 480mmx360mm (14"x19") MDF oval and it still barely fits in the footprint.
    I'm out of scale bananas, so there's a dog food can and a War Dog to compare.
    I am really pushing the boundaries on what can still be called a "miniature". And I'm getting the itch for an Imperator...

  7. Oh hey, guess what? More tank bits painted a slightly darker and greener shade of green! Although here you can see the difference the death korp drab makes vs the primer under the turrets. #hobbystreak day 44

  12. I managed to find twice 20 minutes of free time in my day yesterday.

    So I quickly started to paint the bases of a bunch of blue horrors I had sitting on my desk.
    I also started painting the exalted flamer of Tzeentch.

    If I keep putting 2 layers every 2 months, I might finish this model by the end of the year.

  13. Blood Bowl match today against "Team Titus" - the Ultramarine player's Imperial Nobility team. I won the match 1-0; but it was a brawler; combined at the end of the first half 6 players had been knocked out or removed from the game due to injuries.
    Now I'm left with a choice - hire a 6th Saurus or hire a Chameleon Skink so I can start developing a thrower.

  14. Another coat of dirty red on the black of the Pink Horrors, followed by Violet red from the bottom, and I think I have a good base.
    I'll be able to move to the brush to do the details.
    I think it took me roughly the same amount of time as if I would have applied contrast paint with the brush.
    But the result with the airbrush is way better.

  15. I've applied the base coat on the pink horrors.
    I don't know what I did differently from the blue horrors, but I feel like I got a better result.
    Maybe the dry brush helped a lot more. I'll probably put a second coat of the same color next time to increase the saturation. But it has a very low opacity, and we can clearly see the shadows.

  16. I primed my Tzeentch daemons this afternoon. I'll be able to resume painting soon!
    I'm planning to use the airbrush a lot to get things painted faster.
    For the 20 pink horrors, I'm not planning to spend too much time on the details. I regret having done it on the blue horrors.

    #paintingminiatures #paintingwarhammer #warhammer #hobbystreak #nerdlings #ageofsigmar #tzeentch

  17. 10 new pink horrors have been summoned.
    This completes the first batch of my Tzeentch army with all/most of the daemons.
    This makes 32 more miniatures to paint including an Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot, and a daemon prince.
    It will soon be time to take out the airbrush and find time in my day to slay the gray!

  18. I've been quiet those past few days, but I'm slowly building my Tzeentch daemons.
    They have a lot of mold lines and gaps, and it takes a while to clean up.
    I like the design and variations you can get out of them.

    #hobbystreak #warhammer #ageofsigmar #tzeentch

  19. I continued to paint my blue horrors today.
    I fixed the mistakes I made when applying the texture paint.
    And I applied a first coat on the rim.

    Slowly getting close to completion.

  20. I dry brushed the bases. They are a bit bare, but I think it's ok. The rest of the army will have different bases, but I want those to look like they just got summoned from the warp (not sure about AoS lore).
    I'm still undecided about the rim: Tzeentch turquoise or black?
    Anyway I still have a few touch ups to do, and those will be done.

  21. I worked on the bases of my blue horrors today.
    I think the pot of paint is 3 or 4 years old, and it's was hard to work with it.
    At first, I didn't think I would have enough.
    I hit some painted parts, so I'll have to clean up later.

  22. Last progress for today.
    I applied a fluorescent yellow on the flames. We will see the effect after it dries. It's not what I expected, but I think it will stay like that.
    I've started the bases. I'm planning a mix of pink, purple and blue, which will show under crackled texture paint.

  23. I dry brushed multiple greens on the flames today.
    I don't think it looks good on most of them :'(
    The flames are very small, and my smallest dry brush was not giving a smooth result.
    I think I'll put some fluorescent yellow on top and call it a day.
    The models are fun, but they are too small to be able to do anything smooth and controlled.

  24. More painting today. I did a first base coat of yellow for the flames. It's a slightly desaturated yellow, and I'm planning to do green flames.
    I don't want orange flames to pop out too much and become the center of attention against the blue.

  25. Very quick session today.
    I repainted the eyes, and gave a purple tint to the blades.

    I think batch painting is now finished and I need to go through each model one by one for highlights.

  26. A bit more brush licking, and I now have painted the beaks.
    Yellow is such a painful color to use.
    Some eyes need to be repainted, but I'm happy with the direction things are taking.

  27. Painting eyes has been satisfying.
    I don't think they are all perfect, but most of them are good.
    There are only 2 or 3 models for which I needed multiple attempts.

  28. I didn't share yesterday, but I've been painting eye sockets for 2 days.
    Tomorrow, I should be able to finish the eyes.

    My small brush starts to split very easily. I will use a bigger brush next, because it's going to be impossible to do something clean if I don't have a nice tip.

  29. All my blue horrors got their gold. The models are very good, but batch painting is making them less enjoyable.
    I think I will do the steel parts next to be done with the metallics. It should be way quicker as not all of them have a weapon (opposed to have 3 arms, 2 legs, a few tentacles, with accessories).

    #paintingminiatures #paintingwarhammer #warhammer #ageofsigmar #tzeentch #warhammercommunity #hobbystreak

  30. All the nails got a base coat, I started painting the gold details.
    I think I'm going to keep doing batch painting until all parts have the right color. And then I will do each model individually for the highlights, fixing mistakes, etc.

    #paintingminiatures #paintingwarhammer #warhammer #ageofsigmar #tzeentch #warhammercommunity #hobbystreak

  31. 11/20 blue horrors now have at least one coat of paint on their nails.
    It's so time consuming, and will need at least 2 coats.
    Ice yellow doesn't have a great coverage, or I didn't mix my pot well enough.
    I'm not close to finishing those guys :'(

  32. Completed the teeth on my blue horrors.
    I started the nails, but my patience for the day quickly ran out.
    While I found painting teeth mostly satisfying, I find painting nails very annoying.

  33. #hobbystreak day 140

    Working on the last two of these boyz. Well of course they all have hammers so you know there's going to be the same number with rocket launchers soon

  34. Slaughter's Serenity
    I haven't been sitting on my laurels since the last post; I've just been focus painting to get this Cerastus Castigator ready to go! "Slaughter's Serenity" just needs some basing touch-ups and maybe a transfer or two (though I think it looks great without), and then it's done-done.

  35. Working from home today, so I was able to sneak in some painting time during lunch. "Red" is coming along nicely, she's going to be much faster to paint than "Big B" because I already have the color scheme picked out.

  36. The new Gitmob kits for Age of Sigmar are extensively customizable. It appears that most everything between the Snarlfang Cavalry and the Sunsteela Wheelas are interchangable to some degree. Good for kitbashing, bad for option-paralysis.
    Either way, this Gitmob is ready for walkies!

  37. I spent the day dusting my #gunpla, and packing them into moving boxes. I haven't cleaned them since I moved here 4 years ago.
    I don't think I will ever put so many out without display cases.
    I still have some from the previous apartment (or work place) that I never took out of their storage boxes...

    I'm glad my #warhammer models are all in sealed containers. Even if I can't display them.

    Also farewell to my airbrush booth and my dry brush palette.

  38. Another marathon paint session (I'm beginning to remember why I don't do these anymore) and the Spearhead: Fire and Jade terrain set is complete! I tried a couple different techniques with this one, mainly because I wanted to see if I could produce a "warmer" stone than the typical grey I see these painted in.
