Any requests for cat colour schemes? 

The fattest most lazy of them needs to be painted up as Garfield for sure!

I just love that crew, think I got almost everyone built, but not sure when I'll get to painting it up.

I'll probably mostly be working on my competition entry for the first half of august, but I should be able to slap some paint onto some more nightmares during the second half.

I do have quite a few half-started models that I should be able to finish... right?

Wow! These are really amazing🔥

Got some time to paint before the end of the month after all😃

Finished off the bases for my bear-ly togethers, so here is a group photo.

I also got time to get started on my super-secret-competition-project, so probably going to spend the next week or so on that.

Well I won't ruin my yearly process and fall out of the challenge, so I will finish the rest of Redchapel crew in the next couple of days.

 

First of all - Sybelle. 3hours in one sitting. Very content with her and the super minimalistic palette

And as I reached my attachment quota (and can't seem to find a delete option) and the Imgur permalink is not working when inserted in the "other media" part I can only give you this link (halp mods please)

Imgur Album

Love the muted tones💖

As to the image attachment I hope this works:

May the best puppet win

One of the Bearly Togethe. Stitched Together Special editions/proxies. The other 2 from the set are individual bears but the third is the little baby bear swarm (and is an absolute nightmare to assemble)

That it is. I still need to finish the bases of the two big brothers.

Agreed.

The OP had originally listed the "oppressive bubble"  as Dora2 and the Emissary.

The "bubble" talk was throwing me. I have played Pandora through all versions and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to pull off 4 damage for activating without another 3 models in the mix... and then only with the perfect storm.

Going to put her new model on the table for the first time on Sunday though and I'll see what she can do.

Thanks to everyone for the answer posts and  clarifications!

Oh, Tyrant-torn is great!

My advice would be to keep her close to the centre, and have a wicked doll threaten her (with your opponets main keyword) early each turn. I had a game a little while ago where she ended up too far from the action, and I think that lost me the game 😥

Yes! OK. Just so I have everything. 

What was the "4 damage just for activating bubble"?

 

If I understand correctly you'll need to set it up so you have 1 hungry landmarker (Emissary) and another model close to your target with the hazardous aura from Pandora overlapping the hungry land marker. The you have to have Candy and a sorrow both within 4" of the target. When the model activates it will take 1 damage from life leech and gain stunned, which in turn triggers 1 damage from misery and Pandora gets to push it 2" through both the hungry land marker and the hazardous aura for 1 damage from each.

Yes, it does seem quite powerful, but I'm not sure you'll even be able to set it up aganist a decent opponent.

Managed to tidy up Pandora from june, and calling her done. Thanks to (q-)tips and some airbrush cleaner🥰

Now that should get me my mulligan back from last month, so on to the next...

Finally! You guessed it! =D

Wooohooo! Is there a prize?

Looking forward to seeing the final result😉

Ooooo, Grootslang is not one I considered. That's really cool. Also opens up the door for Marcus!

How is Titania on corner? I often like her on wedge/more aggressive deployments.

I may have misunderstood the initial post, thinking you were asking for double master combinations. Titania herself is quite fast and if you pair her with Nekima, the duo is beyond brutal.

As a single master I have played her in corner, and I can make it work, but probably not optimal for her.

I got some catching up to do since i botched my Pandora 2 in june... 🤬

Also going to proceed with Dorian to finish the WOE keyword (again...). Then hopefully I might have some time left to go back to Dreamer and his gang. They really are proving to be a true nightmare (... to finish😆)

If you don't own it or have never used it, I swear by Mr. Paint Remover. MR. PAINT REMOVER | Mr.COLOR | PAINT / THINNER / SPRAY | GSI Creos Mr.HOBBY (mr-hobby.com) 

That stuff is amazing. I got a whole bunch of it and a small mason jar... I call it "The Dip" (call back from Who Framed Roger Rabbit) and I've had to put a few models in it to wholesale start over. 

Wow! That stuff looks amazing! Sadly it's not yet approved in Norway, so I can't get hold of it (yet!) 

Oh, I think I got traumatized by "the dip" when i was 7... that poor shoe!

Love the skintone on your fae! I might just steal the idea of a green tint🥷

You could strip her or even try to partially strip her (i've seen it done with some qtips and some stripping agent of your coice, sterilium, simple green,...)

Seeing as it's only her skin that's an issue I guess I could try removing the paint with a qtip and a solvent. Don't have any of the mentioned agents, but I guess airbrush cleaner would work?

@Viruk: Thank you for the comment 🙂 I keep a similar theme of green and purple main colours for all my woes, so I didn't want the new pandora to stand out from the rest of the gang.

That said, my model is far from finished, as I messed up terribly with her skin. I've ordered new paints (the skintone I used is pretty old), so hopefully the next attempt will be better.

But I really need to figure out what to do with the messed up parts. I can't just paint over, because there is a bit of texture build-up, so I need to do something about that. For her leg I can probably just apply another layer of primer to even it out, but I could use som pro-tips on what to do with her face and torso, as there are som really fine details there that won't look good with another thick coat of primer... 🤔

Well, since you've been painting up some nightmares recently, I think I'm going to guess Serena Bowman?

Something went terribly wrong with the skintones on my Pandora 2 😱 I think it might have something to do with mixing scale 75 artists paints with vallejo model air paints, it gives a really uneven and flakey texture once dry.

Don't know what I should do to correct this, but it killed off some motivation, and I'll be taking a mulligan this month as there's no way I'll get this finished in time... 😥

Silurids are pretty mandatory with her. Outside of that she's quite versatile, so it depends a lot on your playstyle. (The First Mate is also a very good model for her, but sadly he's only availiable in Zipp's core box). Depending on map/deployment setup I also like to bring a model that can move her around outside her activation, like Hooded Rider or Mature Nephilim, so that she doesn't have to waste actions walking into position. (Once Kurgan comes out he probably fills that role pretty well and in keyword to boot). Getting Zoraida into a position where she can dominate the board from a safe distance (without getting shot at!) by arcing her actions through swampfiend models is key to playing her successfully, so you want to have enough swampfiend models in your crew. Preferably models that doesn't die to a stiff breeze (Silurdis are great for that due to stealth, leap and butterflyjump, but tanky models like Bad Juju, waldgeists and Kurgan can also work)

Make sure you have atleast one solid beater in the crew, because you'll probably obay your own models as often or more that your opponents. And you can more or less guarantee Zoraida gets good use out of her ensorcel trigger when you got a solid beater of your own to obey.

Looks like a good map to play Titania1 AND Nekima1 for the good old "kill-everything-first-scheme-later" strategy? Back them up with some flying fast nephiliim and a shaman for some free focus.

@tyler simmons and @DemiMurgos: In the past we've gotten a "ticket" through PM that will be redeemable in the webstore. As Wyrd has been to Origins, I assume both the badge and the webstore credit will be resolved in a few days time.

The paint train rumbles on, the pile of shame is slowly shrinking!

Interesting choice of colours!

And the most important question: pile of shame shrinking? How?

Mine just keeps growing... Like a hydra, every time I finish one model, atleast 2 more models magically appear in the pile...
