2021 Monthly Painting Challenge - January

Hey @Maogrim, I use Imgur. I click on the photo in my album, copy and paste the "direct link" into the comment body and it automatically fills it with the photo. There is no limit that way. I'm sure there are different photo album services as well that others might share. -

Thank you for the kind words, @Purple Mist! -

I'm in, and will pledge at Tyrant level. -
2020 Monthly Painting Challenge - December
Stranglelove replied to Caedrus's topic in Miniature Showcase
Finishing off the year with the M2E Viktorias box set with an Alt Taelor: I really struggled with the skin on these girls. Tried several methods and wasn't overly pleased with any of them. I'm also not crazy about the bases; the Vallejo desert kind of looks like cake batter. Happy to have these off the table so I can finish the 1988 Mei Feng crew. Then, it's onto the Explorer's Society. That's 47ss for me, @Caedrus Thanks for all that you've done this year. -

Had to drop everything and start working on this guy: I'm a big fan of this pre-assembled hard pvc. Could this be the future for Malifaux minis? No more 16-piece gremlin sprues?? -

I'm returning to the Viks this month to get them off the already-full paint table 😅 @Diddick "What do you struggle with the most when painting a mini?" I struggle with envisioning the mini's final look. It's why I rely on painting tutorials and google images for reference; I can't even get started until I see a paint job or a combination of colors that I think will suit the model. -

Stranglelove replied to Caedrus's topic in Miniature Showcase
Here are Nekima's Nephilim and the Half-Blood Princes: Many of these Nephilim were primed years ago with a spray can when I didn't know what I was doing, giving them the fuzzies. Bonus Wrath: Box o' Shame: Unfortunately just a lot of stuff I'm uninterested in painting. Maybe someday. That's a whopping 101ss, thanks @Caedrus Be well, everyone.- 68 replies

Have already made great progress on Nekima's crew. Now working on the Half-Bloods from the M2E Starter set. Then, I'll try to finish the Viktorias, and get started on Von Schtook. -
2020 Monthly Painting Challenge - September
Stranglelove replied to Caedrus's topic in Miniature Showcase
Hello, all! Another month, another crew. Here is Misaki and her Last Blossoms: Seeing awesome work this month. @Caedrus my total for September is 54ss, thank you. I'll be attempting to clear up some of my Shelf Of Shame next month with Nekima's Nephilim and Viktoria's Mercenaries. Then, it's onto Von Schtook and his Students. Gotta make room before The Explorer's Society arrives 🤠- 61 replies

2020 Monthly Painting Challenge - September
Stranglelove replied to Caedrus's topic in Miniature Showcase
I agree with @Magnus and @muraki. Last month I changed my mind after the Gen Con sale, and it wouldn't have counted. For September, I'm hoping to achieve @Caedrus's challenge of painting in Autumn colors as I finish off the rest of Misaki's starter box. -

Hey all, I ordered some boxes during the Gen Con sale and ending up changing my pledge. Finished off the Woe keyword and the Bandit keyword for my buddy's Parker gang: That's a total of 60ss @Caedrus thanks. Awesome work this month, everybody!- 74 replies

Finishing my Last Blossom crew is my main goal for August. A stretch goal is getting started on my Nekima crew. -
2020 Monthly Painting Challenge - July
Stranglelove replied to Caedrus's topic in Miniature Showcase
Here are three Thunder Archers to add to my Brewmaster pledge for July: I also painted up some 1.5 metal Malifaux minis for a game I'm developing. I won't count them because they were just a rush job for playtesting, just want to show off the OG sculpts: Hope everyone is having a good month and staying healthy! Can't wait for tomorrow's Gen Con sale; Mei Feng's Nightmare crew is a must-have. @Caedrus My total for this month is 101ss. Thanks! -

Stranglelove replied to Caedrus's topic in Miniature Showcase
I pretty much ruined my Perdita crew with a matt varnish and won't be varnishing Wyrd miniatures anymore because of it. Unless you are manhandling your minis on a daily basis, varnishing plastic minis isn't necessary. -

@Diddick Excellent! You will not regret the purchase of an airbrush, but it does come with some new challenges. I recommend watching Marco Frisoni's 'Airbrushing for Miniature Painters' series on youtube. I also highly recommend investing in a spray booth. My best piece of personal advice is: thin your paints, even airbrush-specific paints. It makes cleaning more efficient. -

@Nikodemus Thank you! Can't wait to see yours! @Purple Mist Thanks so much. I mixed Vallejo air Wood brown and Beasty Brown. Simple and clean. -

Brewmaster time, followed by Misaki. Three favorite painters to watch/read: Duncan Rhodes Darren Latham Mengel Plus tons of Honorable Mentions: Sorastro, Pete the Wargamer, Mezgike, Robpaintsmodels, Squidmar, Midwinter Minis, The Painting Coach. Whenever I need inspiration or help understanding a miniature, I usually look up videos and pictures. The number one impediment that keeps me from painting is not knowing color scheme. -
2020 Monthly Painting Challenge - June
Stranglelove replied to Caedrus's topic in Miniature Showcase
This has been a productive quarantine for me. Here's Lynch's crew: the third Illuminated has a different fate... Thanks to @Magnus for getting this crew and these bases years ago. @Caedrus Thanks for the kind words! My total for the month is: 151ss -

@Diddick @Taxidermied Cheers, thanks for the suggestions. @Magnus found Baby Kade's teddy in his cabinet, but I like the idea of trying to make candles to break up some of the bases. I think I'll try making some with green stuff. -
2020 Monthly Painting Challenge - June
Stranglelove replied to Caedrus's topic in Miniature Showcase
boo The happy family Not sure what else to do with the basing that won't distract from the models. Baby Kade needs something and I lost his little bear autopsy - maybe something written in blood. I'm generally not a fan of basing; it never looks the way I envisioned. I got these Death Ray Design bases and followed their youtube tutorial. Quite pleased with the turnout. That's an early pledge completion for me, so I'll probably start another crew. Have a good weekend, all!- 75 replies

For June, it's Pandora's crew (Doppelgänger and Baby Kade are taking a bath) Three Favorite Paints Citadel Mournfang Brown - consistent, vibrant brown that can be used as a base or a highlight to a darker brown Citadel Incubi Darkness - lovely deep green that can build up to a blue or a green Vallejo Bone White Game Air - the best warm base coat I've found for Contrast paints Halfway through the longest year, keep up the great work everybody!
