Thank you so much! I owe my plaid superpower to years of playing/painting a Celtic themed Space Wolves army. Each squad had a different tartan on their pinky-nail-sized tabards. Datsue's skirt is a bit more difficult in that there are more contours to the garment, but the basic process is the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job everyone! It's like any other skill. You have to love the work in and of itself, dedicate at least fifteen minutes of every day to it, and be diligent and careful in how you practice. The concept of natural talent is mostly a lie. More accurate to call it discipline and disposition. Practice, practice, practice... And thin your paints. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 @so_diogenes What ringsnake says is so true about practice....and thinning your paint.... ....most importantly you have decided to paint your crews and as a result they will be individual because you chose the colours to use and they will be 100 times better than grey plastic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips? @wizuriel avoid using pure white, something like bleached bone or any slightly tinted white works much better. As for the pupils - this is just a matter of practice, even after years of painting I sometimes need a few attempts to get the eyes right 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drear_squid Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 @SoylentRobot Henchmen with a soul stone cost of 0 are valued at 13ss minus their cache value. So your Vik of Blood (which I believe has a cache of 3) counts as a 10ss model! How's that for a bonus? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4ml3t Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Finished 3 Raptors, Johan and a Fire Gamin over the weekend for 19ss if I'm remembering correctly. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4ml3t Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I'm pleased with Johan and the birds. (Johan looks better IRL than in the pic) Disappointed with the Fire Gamin but sometimes I think you just have to put the brush down and walk away. It at least looks better than plain dayglow Orange.

prof_bycid Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 @Searos The rules are in the enrollment thread. Basically, state how many SS a month you will paint, post before and after photos. You will need to paint quick to avoid you first Mulligan. If you can't find the rules I will post a link later, when I'm not on this little tablet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Joachim Posted March 27, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I am working on my Zoraida crew. I already painted Zoraida (most of the dolls are still missing though) but I had to show her as well. McTavish is who I painted for this month.

drear_squid Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Finally posting my completed models. Hooray for procrastination!! Credit to @SongOfTheSo'mer for suggesting I make extra Changelings from the figures on the Mysterious Emissary's base. With those added, (Changeling = 4ss (X2))my total SS cost goes to 60ss 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 nice idea about the changelings. It definetly looks like something the emissary would summon. I'm actually doing the mysterious emissary (and maybe changelings) for april. Greetings, Joachim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searos Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I've already painted Raspy, an Ice Gamin (4 ss), an Ice Dancer (6 ss), and an Ice Golem (10 ss) this month. Do those count or not? Either way I'll paint 2 Ice Gamin (4 ss each) and 2 Wind Gamin (4 ss each) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkyMuddFace Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 These are the bonus models that were painted beyond my pledge. Funny thing, I painted more SS in bonus (39 SS) than I did for my pledge (31 SS) haha. 70 SS for the month - woo! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the steam trunk which was my last model for this month and some friends I managed to get done too which wasn't considered at the beginning of March.

Check out the full rules in the Monthly Painting Challenge enrollment thread. Let me know how many SS/month you want to paint. It looks like you are currently at 51 SS for level: Emissary (anything over 30 SS / month). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Here are my March models. I tried blending in some highlights on the leather belts, but they aren't very visible in the photos. Will keep trying this out. I have made some progress on the new photo booth, so I will be able to capture the models better soon. Wendigo (proxy; 3 SS) + 2 x Silent Ones (2 x 6 SS) = 15 SS Great work everyone! Start planning your April pledge! Edited March 30, 2017 by prof_bycid Added photo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
