RobWrath Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Another quick update! Managed to wedge in some hobby time today and caught up with WarriorFish over the phone just to check he's not cheating in the challenge! So Wraithguard are finished and now snuggled up with the Guardians in the cabinet. I wont post a finished pic of them as frankly you've all seen them enough! They just have grass tufts now! "Zonayen" the Farseer got some love today in the shape of Milliput to fill in the base and build it up nicely. Theres some twisted metal in there also to add some "pop". Also dug out the mini objective thingy that you get with the new Banshee's. I wanted to add some detail so theres a broken Guardian helm next to it and some rocks. Maybe the previous defenders demise? If you've never used Milliput before I cannot stress enough how amazing it is for bases etc! Get some today! BCC I just might get some - where did you get it, is it two part?

painting.for.my.sanity Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 TITH I reshot my army after finishing the detailing/polish/basing pass across it. Here's a taster... The rest of it is in my WIP in my signature, on in the full album here - https://imgur.com/a/uDWfIsC. Even more shots (alternate angles, detail etc) will be going up on my Instagram (also in my sig) on the coming weeks.

Zephaniah Adriyen Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Aah, you're making me wanna do Black Templars.

Thank you - mine aren't all that melee focused at the moment though - crossing fingers for a melee Primaris wave at some point.

thewarriorhunter Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 TITH I accepted a commission to build, magnetize, and paint 4 Armigers. My first commission ever and I'm very excited because one of my 2020 goals is to do a commission. Might have to up it to doing a couple!

BitsHammer Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Finally got some hobby in and worked on Mephiston: Love the zenithal. Does it really make that much of a difference? It does for having a reference for light mapping. I primed black, used white as a primary light source, and grey as a reflected light source and took pictures so I could reference back to them on light placement. It helps me know where to push my highlights a bit more and where to keep things a bit darker and more subdued.

cretacianborn Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 TITH I managed to get a mock-up done of my sprinting Redemptor conversion for my Crimson Fists. Super fun kit to build, although a bit daunting as I haven't tackled a vehicle kit since 3rd edition. Still need to attach the feet on its left leg but I want to do that last to get the angle of the sprint right. Think I'm going to add some more details like purity seals too, maybe some chains and extra bits of scrollwork here and there. Then just got to sort the base out and get it all glued up!

treadhead Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) tithi caught the basing bug that seems to be going around and did ten bases for my grey knights paladins, some for my nephews smurf 4th company and my band of bezerkers sadly i'm now running out of snow flock and gw no longer does it, anyone got any suggestions on alternatives? Also started repainting their helms to pure white just to give the model a slightly better focal point Edited January 25, 2020 by treadhead painting.for.my.sanity 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/357/#findComment-5467431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewarriorhunter Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 TITH I totaled up the points that I've painted for my chapter and was pleased to see that I've broken the 1k mark. It's not at all optimized and it's very HQ heavy but progress is progress!

Ace Debonair Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Today in the hobby, my family got me some choice Birthday presents: a box of Tyranid Warriors, another of Hive Guard, and a box of the new Battle Sisters. Hive Fleet Goliandr and the Order of the Iron Tower just moved way up in my "to create" schedule!

RikuEru Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 TITH I finished what I still owed to the Dark Angels Forum for a lost challenge against Captain Semper and his lot. The Lions of Accon are ready to fight! Also a few days I go, just for fun, I painted the GLORIOUS LEADAH OF DA WAAAAGH-WIDE REVOLUZION, DA RED GOBBO!!! Also fixed the Rock of Command under the Warboss' Foot and a few little things. After these excursions over the last few weeks... I can now go back to my Wolves.

BitsHammer Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 YITH I put a bit more work into Mephiston: To be honest, I'm not 100% on the shine on the armour. I kept going back and forth on brightening it up and knocking the brightness back down but I just can't seem to make it pop the way I want to. painting.for.my.sanity and Mendi Warrior 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/357/#findComment-5469662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
