prof_bycid Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hello fellow painters. I am finally posting my pledge for June: three models from three factions. Night terror, katanaka sniper, and Angelica for 16 SS. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Hello, I would like to share my progress so far. I said I wanted June to be the month of the gamins, so I painted one of the poison gamins I said I'd paint this month and I finished... four dog gamins : You may know about dog gamins: Marcus can take them... I still have to finish the following four in progress, including the two poison gamins I announced at the beginning of the month: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Viruk Posted June 17, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Very nice work @Franchute, I really like the smooth highlights. June is a very busy month for me and work is just crazy so I'll just leave this quick WIP here. The Changelings and Luther should be ready somewhere next week... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmacbest Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 What a month... First time I got a chance to devote some time to some minis. So I assembled the Titania Crew and the Waldgeists (jeez, all of those are soooo fiddly, took me ages), picked some bases and got them ready to be primed. I don't know if I can still pledge something this late in the month, but if not, doesn't matter, I still have a mulligan to spend. I'll try anyway, because I don't want to have an excuse to stop now, so here: For June I want to get painted: - Miss Ery (11 SS) - Mature Nephilim (11 SS) - Titania (15 SS) Again, rather I'd aim high than have an excuse. Let's see how this goes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 @djmacbest that's a big build session ! Well done...I hope it's ok to pledge this late in the month as I have just finished a spate of work and am about to do the same myself @prof_bycid really like the base for your night terror - looks great already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The night terrors are awesome in that they come with some great base material. The stone arch is part of the model. I added a skull, ribcage, and cracked earth with Citadel Martian Ironearth. I will get some base colors done and post a WIP photo that shows this a bit better. But yeah, the arch that it comes with is great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizuriel Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Wip of Hoffman. Any pointers or areas of improvement? Really want to try and give those gems some shine 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamfanboy Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 @wizuriel: Search "How to paint Eldar gemstones" and there are lots of step-by-step instructions that I've been using for... well, uh. Decades. Literal, factual decades. I now feel old. I'm... I'm not sure I like how rough he looks, though. What kind of spraybase did you use? Or did you dust him with white spray at some point? Because it really detracts from the paintjob IMHO. So I'm still in the game! Last month had to use a mulligan (I almost died due to a respiratory infection, which also left my hands extremely unsteady as I recovered), but this month I finished off Von Schill (15), his totem (3), 2 Freikorpsmann (10), Student of War (4), and Hodgepodge Effigy (4) for 36 total thus far. The two Freikorpsmen I painted previously are in the background - he got two extras as part of a lot and paid to have them painted. I won't argue. Sadly, I found Von Schill boring to paint. Yes, he has a great pose, but unfortunately the scheme that the customer and I agreed on is dull, dull, dull - they're supposed to say "Quiet professional mercs" versus the Vik's "Flashy lady mercs" stuff. *sigh* I dunno. I wanted her to have an orphanage dress look to her, as though the Viks plucked her out and she started learning from them, but it came out boring. I'm also a bit displeased at how the lumpy and uneven the face looks when blown up 4x, but it was necessary to get her scowl looking correct on the miniature itself. If I buy a Viks box for myself she gets a bright and colorful dress, and I might sculpt it a bit long so it's dragging on the ground and obviously WAAAY to big for her. But I do like her widdle sandled toesies... I have hopes of finishing off 3 Daydreams and 3 Alps, along with a some other stuff that I've put together in the meantime: Coryphee, Insidious Madnesses, Ice Dancers, and a Bandersnatch. Amusingly, my box of Insidious Madnesses accidentally came with a Blessed of December instead of one Madness, but I'm not complaining - an $8 tradeup and something that i have the card for already? In future months, I may be dipping into Ressers, if I don't get Rasputina and Titania first to finish off my Arcanists and Neverborn... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted June 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 @Viruk The eyes on Luther are mind-bendingly well done. @wizurielIt looks like the pebbled texture that Iamfanboy is noticing may be caused by spraying primer from too great a distance or under less than ideal conditions, e.g., high humidity. I have done this to a lot of models, and still struggle with it. @iamfanboyThose look great! The expression on the Student's face is awesome, the way you got the lips to one side like she is contemplating striking something. Sorry to hear about your close call, and glad you're better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 My June work in progress photo. I have the base colors down on the, ..., bases. I am continuing my efforts to use some strongly contrasting colors, and to emphasize highlights against the background. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmann Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 @Franchute Nicely painted models! The bases are cool too, except that the water effect has run up the grass tufts a bit - but that's propably only really noticable in pictures. @Viruk Outstanding! Really like the eyes on Luther. @prof_bycid Good progress there. Like the bases, but I feel Angelicas may be a bit too tall. Personal taste really I finished the Beckoner, putting me at 26ss this month. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I should pay attention not to touch the grass? The other thing is that the grass is attched to a white surface that I want to hide and I try to cover it up each time I apply my water mixture.

Sandmann Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 The capillary effect(??) pulling it up wouldn't be strong enough to do it like this, would it? I don't know, but I think it would certainly look better if it didn't. Maybe use a pin after the water is done and glue the tuft to that?

Chou Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Argh! This month is being quite a pain, between weddings and bacherlor parties I'm struggling to paint. My submit this month will be Leveticus (if I recall correctly, masters count as 15SS) and I'll try to add Mercury (a performer from the Dark Carnival crew).

Popular Post Joachim Posted June 22, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Some Wip, I got the wings done on one of them in the style of a monarch butterfly and I'm really pleased with it so I'll finish that up. If i manage to get the wisps done in time I will try to get work done on the gators as well. Let me know what you think about the color choices. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 @prof_bycid a question for you prof....having been swamped by work it's looking unlikely I'll be able to start and finish new models this month...but....over the last couple of months I added extra models to my pledges that took me over my pledge level but never got completed....would it be ok to finish a couple of those models to keep my tally running ? If you think that goes against the spirit of things then fair enough...but I'd like to save mulligans for later in the year if possible Good to be back on the forum...Great work everyone ?

prof_bycid Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 @JoachimI love the monarch wisp. Very well done---I could tell what it was before I read the comment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 @Burnin' Coal The models count for the month in which you finish them, so you are still good! I know how good it feels to go back and tie up those loose Malifaux ends, so I like this aspect of the rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 @prof_bycid cool - thanks prof .....must be one of the first times ever that rules have worked in my favour...will be doing my best to rejoin the fray and get a Mounted Guard plus Carlos Vasquez finished up and running 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizuriel Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Redid the gems and think they are a bit better now think going count Hoffman as more or less done for 15SS 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 A quick WIP for the Viks as Cloud and Sephiroth. My painting's been slower this month with a lot of life happening, but this weekend will be a paint-filled one! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
