Johanhgg Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 I been through hobby-hell. Jumping from one project to another and buying :cussloads of miniatures. It got to a point when it was no fun anymore. It felt like a goddamn job, except not getting paid. I seriously thought of just throwing away all these miniatures because it only brought stress. I forgot why I love this. Hiding ordered boxes of miniatures from my wife and :cuss. Like a drug-addict. BUT I sat down and realized I need to scale down the hobby, or at least the amount of projects. I also realized that it is the Raven Guard that started me in the hobby. And it’s the raven guard that’s going to save me. Abandoned all projects except my Iron hands (which are completed as an army) and my Raven Guard. The orks will stay. And a bonus-project when all my miniatures is painted. For those who read all this crap, slowly started getting back to raven guard with: http://u.cubeupload.com/Johanhgg/1CA0254F3E4A4A05977D.jpeg http://u.cubeupload.com/Johanhgg/D51FED90DF334D5BB862.jpeg http://u.cubeupload.com/Johanhgg/7DA6191029254DF2A0A0.jpeg http://u.cubeupload.com/Johanhgg/86127448CA0D4EF0BD30.jpeg Bjorn Firewalker, Brother Callidan, duz_ and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349307-raven-guard-5th-company/page/6/#findComment-5415574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Eliminator cloak looks great and I feel you on the hobby creep. When I first started into the hobby I was buying stuff left and right because it was a good deal and I could use it in my list. Fast forward a couple years and I realized I had too much stuff and I hobby way to slow. I sold off a bunch of stuff that I wasn't going to use and really trimmed down my backlog. I still have more than I'd like but it's in a better place. I'm also completing 2-3 units for every one I buy and I've held off on buying any new models since Shadowspear. I think it's very easy to get carried away with purchases because at least for me, when I purchase I think I'm also buying the time to hobby and play and that's not the case.

Shadow Captain Vyper Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Your highlighting on the black looks like a combination of edge highlighting and dry-brushing. Please do tell!

golfdeltafoxtrot Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 This is amazing work, I love the matt grey/black finish. Weathering looks great. I'm about to jump into the decal game as well. Do you use micro set/sol or some other method? Microsol and Microset are one of the best hobby investments I've made. They're so cheap, and a bottle of each will last for all eternity. I've done a lot of decals in the not-quite-2 years since I came back into the hobby and Microsol/set have made them so easy, especially on awkwardly shaped areas like knee pads. They're totally worth the minimal investment. thewarriorhunter 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349307-raven-guard-5th-company/page/6/#findComment-5421036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
