Weekly Post #18


First is my Craftworld Wave Serpent. Painted up to match their Harlequin Allies. This thing was a pain and still needs a little touch up work but its done for now.


The turret swivels!

Pilot!

Next is my first Myrmourn Banshee. I really like how hexwraith flame paint comes out. Super easy to use. Based ended up being the most difficult part of the model.



Painted the first Stormcast Eternal as well. I'm not sure about the color scheme atm. Still thinking about it. Honestly she was kind of annoying to paint and the shield still needs touch ups so I'm leaning away from SCE as my "Good" Age of Sigmar army



Some imperial ruins I got with a recent purchase, Decided to quickly paint them up instead of letting them sit as grey plastic.

All the little buttons and wires were fun to paint on.




Where does the secret hatch lead? Tis a mystery.

Myrmourn Banshee #2. Spooky ghosts.

Again the base was the most complicated part of the model.

All three Age of Sigmar stuff together, two spooky ghosts circle menacingly.

A Wave Serpent moves through some imperial ruins with a guardian escort.

3 More Harlequins! Finishing up the Squad


I like this one the least. I think its mostly the leg pose feels off to me.


I like how he came out paint-wise but am not sure if I like the mismatched sleeves. It sort of works with harlequins (due to their asymmetrical nature). But wasn't entirely intended.


This one is taking on the role of "The Empress" my first named character for my Harlequin force (playing a Troupe Master). I have plans to update her model eventually and then this one will be downgraded but for now she plays the part handed to her.



And finally the full squad together.

Weekly Post #16


This week we start off with Harlequin #3. She sports a pretty sick mohawk and fusion pistol.



A backwards view that gives another angle and the sight of her ribbons.




And an upward angle that helps show off some of the gemstones.


For long years of service Administratum Officer Forescale has finally been rewarded. He now sports a shiny blue coat, gold buttons, and an unstable plasma-charge briefcase. (Which is rigged to explode should it ever leave Administratum Officer Forescales side). And of course he has the always fashionable Administratum Standard-Bald cut.


And a back view. I liked how the slight glow effect came out on the case.


If you were wondering what was underneath everyone. Well its not finished but its a piece of road terrain I've been working on following Wyloch's Armory Guide. He offers a ton of great terrain building ideas.


I got my Storm Strike box on Wednesday and couldn't help myself from immediately building the entire Nighthaunts segment (in blue) and two of the Stormcasts (in gold, specifically the gryph-hound and the Stormcast leader who lacks a helmet). I left the rest of the Stormcast unbuilt since I do not like the death-mask helmets and wanted a decent alternative so I ordered some Paladin helmets from puppetswar. And I guess I'll see how well those will work with them. They're made for space marines but the Stormcast stand taller than standard marines (about on par with primaris)


Finally last night I build a custom divider for my hobby desk out of some double-corrugated cardboard and hotglue. Finally my tools drawer is all organized and ready to go.

Also I know I said I'd be shelving my T'au for a while but that might not be 100% the case. After thinking it over a while I've kinda realized the army I really want to push for is Sisters of Battle when they release and the rest of this stuff is more of a money sink than anything else. So for the time being I'm putting Warhammer army purchases on hold and just focusing on what I own. There's a couple exceptions coming up but other than that I wont be buying miniatures until the Sisters release. And instead focusing on building & painting what I own. And getting games in with what I own.

Weekly Post #15


First post of May! Here we go!


First is my sister armed with a heavy bolter. I really enjoy painting sisters. They're pretty cathartic.



Next is her twin with a multi-melta. Her base isn't finished but should be by tomorrow night.


Her tartan pattern is a new one, using lighter greens than before.

My First Harlequin! Hes not quite finished as I'm waiting for my gemstone paint to come in.



And my second Harlequin!



Look at that happy face!



I really like how her hair came out.
