Miniaturepainting - Blog Posts
Only got 7 miniatures left from the hivestorm accessories kit, trying my best to speedpaint them and not get bogged down with making everything look perfect. Gonna varnish the ones I've already done
Really happy with how the smoke came out! Feels weird to actually get all of this stuff done and not just stare at it for 2 to 3 years.
@dammitkat1e is getting the terrain done, it's starting to look really great!
First battle ready alien I've painted that isn't dead on a base or on a diorama, it's a Vespid Shadestrain! Also my first Tau Empire models, highlights to go!
Me and @dammitkat1e picked up the hivestorm kill team boxset and are speed painting it, she's done the Tempestus Aquilons side and they look great!
On a sidenote - Kill Team is super fun, give it a try.
Really need to finish off this Purple Templars Bladeguard sergeant, did his first highlight on his tabard last week and haven't touched him since.
In my chapter lore, I'm thinking of making each Bladeguard sergeant a relic bearer, or something along those lines. Any ideas let me know.
It's bring your kid to work day for my Black Templars veterans.
Like three years ago @dammitkat1e gave me a bunch of random 90s metal terminator bits that I left in a jar of IPA and forgot about until about a month ago.
Decided to finally get more painting done and made the best squad that I could, there's a few space wolf's bits in there but that's because they beat up a space wolf and stole his armour and took his lunch money. (deal with it)
Basing left to finish off and highlights to come!
Some stuff I've painted recently
5 x Battle ready Terminators, I need to highlight them and then base them
1 x Fully highlighted Spartan pattern land raider, I need to stop being lazy and her the weathering done 😵💫🫠
Excited to get them looking brighter soon! I'm glad my Veterans have the typical white helmet to denote their veterancy.
I wanted Rick Danger (Tank commander) to have a little servo-skull controlled multi melta
Introducing my new Land Raider commander - Rick Danger! He's equipped with the latest in grimdark iPad technologies to guide his shots.
He's joined by his battle brother and actual brother.. Buck Danger! He's catching a ride on the crusade.
Still got highlights to do on Rick, let me know if you think they look similar enough :)
Haven't painted in a little while because of health issues, slowly feeling a little better and started to block in the paintwork of Mr land raider Spartan.
In terms of painting non Warhammer bits, here's my Wizard and apprentice from Frostgrave, if you haven't played Frostgrave it's super quick and easy to pick up, give it a try!
First up - The mighty summoner Abu
And his alcoholic apprentice - Bubu..
I had a lot of fun painting their gems, especially Abu's staff!
More painting! This time, here's two members of my Blood Angels chapter, a Mk VI tactical marine as pictured below..
And he's got backup! Here's a Cataphractii pattern Terminator..
I'm planning to get a squad done of each (eventually) for use as NPCs in narrative games, always loved the chapter for it's rich backstory and lore.
I haven't uploaded too much painting wise recently! Here's the one and only Ork I've ever painted.
Doing his skin was really fun, It was my first attempt to doing proper skintones that weren't human in nature, his backpack was the most fun I've had painting models so far.
And as a bonus, here's a friendly and helpful Blood Angel tactical marine "offering" to check the condition of Mr Orkys gun barrel, how polite.
Before and after weathering on some scenery, there's a full picture below of the mostly finished piece.
Had a go at freehanding the calor gas symbol on some terrain I'm painting up.
Just the base to drybrush and the rim to paint in black. One highlighted printed Black Templar (my own colours.. yeah yeah black I know I'm a heretic etc) ready to support his chapters battle coffins into battle.
My first 3d resin print courtesy of @dammitkat1e, painted in my black Templar colours. Slowly finishing off the highlights before basing.
Today is upgraded Redemptor dreadnought day! For my custom scheme Black Templars crusade fleet.
Added some extra veteran decoration on his armour panels in the form of the Heraldic Cross, given to indicate valorous acts of the brave heroes of my crusade fleet, as well as some candles, which stay alight by the Emperor's grace, I guess?
And here is he on the battlefield with some loyal Sword Brethren 😁
Did a quick paintjob on this 90s terminator with Assault Cannon for my custom chapter 🥰
Roll on 10th! So excited to get the new sculpt.
