Merry Christmas!

I know the greeting is two dys late but I wanted to pass it on.

The past week saw the completion of basecoats on my TNT raiders warband.  I would like to do some highlighting to make them standout a bit more from each other.

I decided this troll will go with my human/chaos pact team.  I made a purple glaze to make his face more interesting.  I put the glaze on then dabbed of the excess while still wet.  I also based his noses and spikes and teeth with a gray, I don't know how I'll finish them yet.

I finished up adding colors and a wash on some rubble and barricades for TNT.  I'm debating whether or not to make bases to combine them on.

I also started Neave from my Stormcast army.  Her lore specifies what she wears, so I'm giving her the classic gold and blue scheme.  I made a mix of one part VMC Black, 2 parts VMC Flat Brown, and 2 parts VMC Gold for her basecoat.  I then washed it with Citadel Reikland Fleshshade.  It looks darker and dirtier than I expected.

I got a hot-wire table as a gift this year.  Mucho terrain stuff to come.  I'm excited!

I also received an airbrush, now to get a compressor and figure out how to use it.

TNT Weekend

I didn't have anytime to do hobbying during the week this week.  But as for the weekend, I wanted to get some stuff done.

I was debating what to get some work done on, and I decided I should do some finishing work on my TNT Raiders.

I figure I should work on finishing stuff up for the time being.  I have a feeling I'll be getting some new stuff to work on terrain at Christmas time this year so I'll want to use that when/if I get it.

I have too many ideas in my head and not enough skill or time.  But here is what I got done this weekend.

Basecoats solidified on cars, started silver accents

Fuzzy pic but did jacket and jeans

Added color to the piles and some barriers

I hope to get more time this week to paint.  I want to finish up my raiders and a lot of this TNT stuff soon.  Like I said before I think my interest will turn to terrain soon. 

Slow Week

I took the small sections of time I had this past week to do some basecoats and jazz on some things.

I painted some skintones (natural and non) on my gryph charger thingies:

The darker one only has one layer of Rakarth Flesh, it got another coat later.  The other one has two layers and a wash layer I didn't like so later I added a layer of VMC Ger. Camo Beige.

I like this color a lot.  It looks like lion coloring.

I did a couple layers of The Fang and had some left on the pallet so I put a couple layers on a troll.

Then I added different levels of VMC Off-White and did dry-brushing in multiple levels.

Then I added a glaze of VMC Dark Sea Blue to the scale and some VMC Uniform Green on his loin cloth.

I am very poor at dry-brushing, guess I need more practice.

Painting Up Some More Stormcast... Areas

I got more peices for my Stormcast Army.  I want to get them done sometime this winter so I painting the up  when I have time.  This weekend I painted a lot of armor with my black metallic mix that I made back when I started this army.

Some of the metallic blob:

To break up the metal monotony I painted some of the red trim and cloth:

I put some paint on some birdies too:

I intended to do some wet blending but I didn't have time.  Having the underneath colors could help when I get around to blending... I think.

When I get it all painted I'll have 54 AoS figures I think.
