MrSpoon Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 YITH I got some time in on these bladeguard and captain. Visiting hours at the hospital for baby spoon are limited for Dads so I’ve tried to keep my mind off things by picking up the paintbrush. These guys get classic edge highlights as veterans/characters opposed to drybrushing. Hopefully it doesn’t stand out too much. 60 complete 4 WIP 61 remaining.

Hfran Morkai Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) TitHi have seen a copy of Blackstone Fortress and Escalation with foam for the core game for £115 posted and I'm seriously considering it. Looks like a fantastic game, I just know I'd want all the expansions and most of my funds go into my 30K hobby. Maybe this would be a nice break? Edit: Never mind, missed it. Should have realised that was a good price posted. Still tempted to pick the system up as a pallette cleanser and eventually source the expansions (I'm a bit of a completionist).

Focslain Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 YiTH - I took the day and painted up the Taurox from my SC box, just to finally get it off my shelf. Also did the carriage. Next up is the Eldar SC, might as well start on that.

Syrakul Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 More of my new Necromunda rescue. behold the haul of serviceable to caked on paint jobs! Starting to rescue a gang's worth of each Delaque and Escher. Using LA's totally awesome which is easy on hands, non-stinky, water soluble and safe, and works reasonably well but the Escher must have had 2 different paintjobs and my cleaning brushes wont scrape out the details at all so have been picking it out painstakingly on each model... any thoughts?

painting.for.my.sanity Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 TITH this happened: Getting a model on the GW website was my super long-term goal when I started my Instagram account, which I initially started to document my return to the hobby as a mindfulness/art therapy thing as my mental health worsened back when I was still working as a veterinary surgeon. I'm thankful to say that I'm doing a lot better now health-wise (working a much less stressful job) and that my painting has improved faster than I thought possible.

Syrakul Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Isn't the venerable available in the Space marines starter box? If you already pulled the trigger then no problem but I'm a sucker for the cheaper starter boxes, (where you'd get 10 sm and a leader for extra 5 pounds...) edit* ah the recent price rises+ GW retail costs push the starter to 55 so not unreasonable purchasing seperately.

Soldier of Dorn Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Yesterday in the hobby my copy of Fury of Magnus was (apparently) delivered to the wrong postal code. Today in the hobby I'm trying to figure out how to deal with that. So that's fun.

Syrakul Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Working on bases, without clipping the foot bars of these models (except for a few broken ones like the delaque heavies) Takes more work then i can putty over the joins.

MrSpoon Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) @Sufficient anonymity how long after contacting you did they put your photos up on the GW page? I got contacted by them 3 weeks ago and they still aren’t showing. TITH I got 3 blade guard veterans finished whimsy the new snotling sleeps next to me.

Sky Potato Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 TITHI started doing test models for my Minotaurs. Also TITH, I found that Runelord Brass with an all over wash of Cryptek Armourshade Gloss is basically the same colour as Balthasar Gold.

Ace Debonair Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Today in the hobby, I've taken the plunge and started stripping the paint off five Reivers that I absolutely botched, so I can bring them back to life as Stonebound. First time cleaning models, seems to be going well so far but I'm watching them closely. EDIT: Never mind, it's raining again, so all that's on hold. The test model seems to be cleaning up nicely, but the other four will have to wait for another day!
