finished a friend's dungeon spiders.
quick and easy.
after painting these i kinda wish i had collected a goblin army filled,
i don't really do hobby challenges as often as most of my peers do. but when i come across one that seems either really fun or even beneficial i'll give it a go. the only themed challenge i've done is the Orctober, where you either paint units or single figures that are orcs/orks. this time around i came across a new challenge where there's a deadline for painting miniatures. i'm going to participate in the Paint What You Got challenge by Dave Stone over at Wargames Terrain Workshop . i learned about this challenge on the The Periodic Painting Table blog where a fellow hobbyist MisterC also is joining in. the challenge is to finish something between December 26th (or now) and February 28th. it could be something that has already started or is completely new, it just has to be completed in the time frame given. i figured this would be a great time to get a good start on my wild west miniatures that i just recently bought a few weeks back. i got two plastic sets of G...
along with the Chaos Snake Men miniatures and others noticed there was a classic Bretonnian Sorceress miniature in the lot. and along with the other fantasy figures i received i was planning on using them for Frostgrave. for the past several months i had the opportunity to be in the company of a wonderful woman who for once in my life takes somewhat of an interest in my wargaming hobby. i asked my girlfriend how would she want this miniature to look like. she said she would like the dress a blue black blended together in the middle and she needs to have red hair. so not in particularly favor in painting humans, i tried my best and followed the request of the two colored dress. having the miniature now being the leader of a Frostgrave warband, i created a back story of this fierce woman. she not only looking for lost relics and treasure within the frozen city, she is also seeking revenge against the tyrant barbarian who killed her love, Ranulf Tor,...
so recently my loving girlfriend bought me the Dolorous Strain Kill Team box set. and at first i was kinda overwhelmed on how well these miniatures were sculpted. so much detail like the Death Guard space marines, my good friend said, "these aren't miniatures, these are models. if there is numbers on the sprue and directions these are not miniatures." and damn if he wasn't right. eight or nine pieces alone for the Blightlord Champion, back in the day Terminators had 3-4 pieces, even a character in Terminator Armor. but anyways, i went and put together the champion and primed him and went and did the same method of base coloring the miniature like i did with my Death Guard. thinning down a green and brown paints with water, creating a wash. covering the model with a green and letting it dry and then going back over it with the brown. here are several pics of the finished Champion. after i completed the "model" i went back a...
