There were 3D printed Marvin cupcake toppers at @suvidu's and @Tobi_k's garden party (I thought it was sugar and took a bite. Mistake).
I took my little guy home, gave him a base and painted him.

Not his canonically colours, of course. 😊

Mixed everything I wanted. NMM, OSL, shifter paint... Just a wild ride! 😁

Today is 300 Stores Europe Celebration and everybody gets bees. Or a pin.
Since I went to the store for some colours and airbrush advise, I also got one. 😊

First test of my cheapo Airbrush.
Zenithaled the Mimic. Paint was way too thin, but the brush behaved okay.
But! Nearly impossible to clean, because it's so cheaply build, all the plastic parts are kind of wonky and all the metal parts need violence to part from each other and to reassemble.
I will use it as a learning experience, though, until it won't reassemble again. 😊

This is the funniest reverse pink tax ever!
This cheapo Airbrush set is available in pink or black. It's identical except for the colour.
But the pink one is five Euro less and comes in a box labeled "Beauty Airbrush Set".
Of course I took the pink one. 🐙😁

And now let's see if I like it.

I tried drilling barrels for the first time.
@suvidu, master handywoman she is, showed me how to do it yesterday, and today I drilled four bolters, one a storm bolter, and only ruined one (kinda, I think I can fix it with paint).

I am not drilling all the way down to avoid accidents. Just enough to have a hole.

Still a lot of practice needed to get it centred, but I am happily making progress.

I started on this month's Mini of the Month, Karl the khornite Cultist.
He gets a kind of Tim Burtonesque base and I am still thinking about a maximum reduced colour scheme.

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #warhammerCommunity #PaintingNoob

After finishing George, I am off to my next projects.
I couldn't do any hobbying for eight months - so many projects and ideas!

So here are my "go big or go home" - boys, Lucius and Fulgrim. 😊
Started today with planning the metal parts.

(Anyone older from Germany - Hesse especially - remembering "Wie Mudda un Dochda!" - "Nah, mir sin nur Arbeitskollesche. Isch bin de Edwin un des is de Karl-Heinz"?)

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #warhammerCommunity #PaintingNoob #EmperorsChildren

A bit of progress on George.
I am still not back to form, so I can't paint longer sessions, else I will lose concentration and my hands are starting to shake.
Still - had fun! Metals and some experimenting with taking up the pink colour of the ritual circle from his base. 😊
Tomorrow it's his tabard and maybe details.

Thanks to @suvidu and @Tobi_k I now have this giant LED Panel, providing perfectly neutral (adjustable) lighting from the left and above to my hobbyspace. 😊

#MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob #warhammerCommunity #PaintingMiniatures #HobbySpace

Working on my Armies on Parade-diorama.

Let's see if I can finish it in time. 😊

It's my first terrain-stuff ever and so far I am having fun. Looking forward to painting it.
But not today. I'm rather exhausted by just the little bit I did.

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob #warhammerCommunity #PaintingMiniatures #warhammer #ArmiesOnParade

My Plague Marines are finished!
But no group glam shot until I've build their bases. So just close up-portraits.

I present: Apothecary Khorag Sinj and his friends!

#Warhammer #MiniaturePainting #MiniPainting #PlagueMarines #DeathGuard #Nurgle #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingNoob

I painted this month's miniature of the month and tried letting him wade through some bloody water.

A friend said he looks like he just ate a lot of Drukhari and I have to agree. That's a very Dark Eldar colour scheme!

#Warhammer #Kroot #MiniatureOfTheMonth #miniaturePainting #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40k #WH40k #PaintingNoob

Enjoy some super rancid backpacks with differently coloured metals, brought to you by Grandfather Nurgle and my new macro lense!

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #warhammerCommunity #PaintingNoob #DeathGuard #Warhammer #WorkInProgress

Okay... Why did nobody tell me, that Plague Marines have the most adorable little tails?!

At the end of Pride month - some unhappy found family. 😊
The creative yet grumpy Haemonculus, the brash and far too smart for his own good Chief Apothecary and their clueless but cute Vatborn. 😊

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob #warhammerCommunity #PaintingMiniatures #Drukhari #Haemonculus #Warhammer #EmperorsChildren #FabiusBile

I did it! I painted Fabius and I really love how he turned out. So happy with him! 😁
My best guy! (tied with Lucius)

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob #warhammerCommunity #PaintingMiniatures #warhammer #EmperorsChildren #FabiusBile

And I'm done with my Haemonculus!
Hexachires in all his gory glory.
I like how he turned out. The purple colour scheme fits him really well.

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob #warhammerCommunity #PaintingMiniatures #Drukhari #Haemonculus #Warhammer #DarkEldar

I was very productive this weekend. I painted two minis and four bases. 😊
That's a ton of hobbying for me!

So here's my vatborn, rescuing some nice, uncorrupted gene seed. Such a good boy!

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob #warhammerCommunity #PaintingMiniatures #warhammer

June's miniature of the month is done.
I tried kind of a Alice in Wonderland-theme with the base and her colour scheme.

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #warhammerCommunity #PaintingNoob #MiniaturrOfTheMonth #Darkoath

Coming along.

I wonder if I can make it colourful without it getting too cartoonish.

Well, I will see!

#Warhammer #MiniaturePainting #WarhammerCommunity #BaseBuilding #PaintingNoob #WorkInProgress

My Wonderland themed bases are built and primed and ready to get as colourful as possible this weekend. 😊

Those are some giant mushrooms!

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob #warhammerCommunity

I took the day off today to go to the Kurpfälzisches Museum with @suvidu
Because there is an exhibition on forgery in art.

But I still got up at five to start working on them a bit.
As one does!

Those two old men will be so much more difficult to paint than anything I did before combined!

#Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob

Paul from the GW shop gave me the tip of using the massage gun on paints that tend to form heavy deposits quickly (I'm looking at you, Soulblight Grey!) instead of shaking them by hand forever.

And what can I say: 100% success!

#Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob

That's the bases so far.
I'll add some fungi next week. And then prime them.

They'll lose the oreo-cookie-look then. 😂

#MiniatureBuilding #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob

And they are done!

I think I'm getting somewhere with my painting process. Especially with Vulkan's sons.
I like the sharp contrast and how well they take to coloured light.

These three guys are number 38, 39 and 40 of my miniature painting journey. other people paint 40 minis a week, I take a bit longer. Maybe I'll get there someday.

#Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40k #PaintingNoob #Salamanders #SpaceMarines

Green parts are done.
I think I'll never be a follower of a very clean painting style. I like my stuff messy.

I am in awe of anyone able to pull off the "smooth like a baby's behind"-painting style, though! Those people have their lives together, I guess.

On the other hand: I'm such a noob. Maybe this will change? Who knows! My 2D-style is very flexible, too and is constantly developing.

#Warhammer #WorkInProgress #WarhammerCommunity #Salamanders #WiP #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob

Toxic sludge preparation!

I think I'll try painting the lower halves of my three guys with some very yellowy green and the upper halves more cyan-heavy green.

Let's see how this will work out!

Number 38, 39 and 40 of my minipainting journey!

Well, @Ladymirdan says I'm a real hobbyist now.

I haven't told her about the jar of sticks I'm also starting.

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #warhammerCommunity #PaintingNoob

I finished my Noise Marine-chan.

According to his base, he accidentally booked a vacation at a khornite ski ressort.

My phone's camera eats purple gradients for breakfast, it seems.

Anyways, I had fun with my nice, old school guy!

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #warhammerCommunity #PaintingNoob #EmperorsChildren #Warhammer #NoiseMarines

No matter how many mould lines I remove, there is always a good amount more I didn't notice until it's too late.

Well, learning process! 😊

Next Work in Progress: Three more Salamanders to hype myself up before I will start with either Hexachires or the Skaven with the ratlauncher.

Salamanders are my comfort-minis!

#Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40k #Salamanders #WorkInProgress #PaintingNoob #SpaceMarines

I started working on my little garish horror in all the purples and pinks.
It's so hard to trust the process right now! 😂

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob #warhammerCommunity #NoiseMarines #EmperorsChildren

Squad of 30k Kakophonii is done!
Now I have painted 36 miniatures since I started this whole "build and paint little guys"-hobby.

Maybe I should start thinking about getting a decent camera, because my phone does bad things to colours a lot of the time.

#Warhammer #HorusHeresy #WarhammerCommunity #EmperorsChildren #NoiseMarines #Kakophoni #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob

I finished my little Timewalker for May's Miniature of the Month.
First time using the sand I collected.

I like the little guy!

#warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #warhammerCommunity #PaintingNoob #MiniaturrOfTheMonth #AgeOfSigmar #Warhammer

Well, it's so sunny and dry today, the base was done in no time!
Here's this week's project finished: Chonky Fellgor!

#Warhammer #MiniaturePainting #WarhammerCommunity #MiniPainting #PaintingNoob #Beastmen #Fellgor

More friends to paint with - more fun!
Today I painted with @feenwaldgestalt and her first little guy already looks so great and lively (and lovely!).
This is my current work in progress:

#MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob #Fellgor #Beastmen #Warhammer

And here's my finished icy Salamander. Not his natural element, but since he has the blood of Nocturne in his veins, he is not cold.

(my phone freaked out with the snow base versus dark green and so the pics are not that good)

This time I learned: I need to think about light reflecting off metals. I know how to do it in my 2D art, but this doesn't work with 3D. More detective work! That's what I love most with minipainting!)

#Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity #MiniaturePainting #PaintingNoob

I can't thank the friend ( @Ladymirdan ) enough, who told me time and again to "trust the process" with miniature painting. That things will come together.

That's such a hard lesson for me to learn! Yesterday I was nearly at the point of stripping my Raptor again, but I set him aside, took some time off of painting him, finished Icalamander .. and now I'm having fun with him again! 😊

Learning curve!

#Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity #MiniaturePainting #LearningProcess #PaintingNoob

And here's my completed team!
All the hairy boys!
