muraki Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Painted up Marcus yesterday, so guess I've already done my pledge for this month (I really should of gone higher than Hench, too late now tho). It's time to see how much of his theme I can do before the end of the month. Already got his box primed + have Vogel/Scorp in the post. I'm feeling good about my chances of completing another keyword. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranglelove Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Put me down for a pledge of another Portal fireteam, Adeodatos, and (if it arrives in time) an Immolated Rhino. I'll also be basing my entire CotBM company. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I'll start with Ryle I think: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 For March I am going to finish up my third Silurid for 7 SS. That green Stuff brain fungus is hiding some magnets---had to improvise to magnetize this one. I know I haven't been painting much on for the challenge this year, but I am ~1/3 way through my third Necromunda crew (10 models each), and have some Fallout progress, so making good progress when summed across all games. Cheers all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 To start with for March, I'll finish up these two Silurids, a Will O' the Wisp, the Adze, and Talos-as-Knightly-Killjoy. If I get those done I think I'll reward myself by starting on painting the Avatar Colettes I was gifted as "basing" for my actual Colette's Doves. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitDalek Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I bought a bunch of second-hand built gremlins and I am slowly prepping them for priming. The horror! Just getting rid of mould lines and gaps on the Easter bunny model should be worth 5 SS at least In other news, my pledged farm house is advancing well. There's a new green spot on the carpet, but you can't really see it thanks to the busy pattern. I chose my hobby room carpet well 😎 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Viruk Posted March 3, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 My cats enjoy lying in the middle of my workspace and are never too happy when I move them from it OK, here my final pledge for this month. I will paint two Cojos and two Jackalopes. Both will feature bright fur so batch painting should be more efficient here. And here's a quick PRO TIP regarding bases. Typically fitting standard models is not an issue as they have flat soles of their shoes (especially the humans of Malifaux). However, sometimes it gets more complicated, and Cojo is a good example. It's not easy to fit him into a 50 mm base, and it gets worse when it's a resin one with some terrain on top of it already. I solve this problem by adding small pieces of GS to where I want the model to stand (obviously that takes some dry-fitting to find the best position). Once the GS is in place, I put some water on it and gently press the model from above. After a few seconds I take it away. The indentation serves as a perfect guideline for later work. Since it doesn't look too good at this stage, I wait for it to dry and add a second layer of GS with some texture. If your sculpting skills are (like mine) very low, you can always add some static grass there to mask it. After that it's just a matter of pinning the model and you have a perfect fit that makes it look like the base was designed to go with your miniature. 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diddick Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hello there! Here's my March pledge, after having him built and printed for months, I'll finally go for the Midnight Stalker for 8SS. I want to try to give him some kind of night lighting, but I'm still not quite sure how to do it, so... wish me luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found about him when i joined the "deck of painting achievements" and is definitely a style that I think fits perfectly for the midnight stalker. What i had in mind was a pretty dark mini, and a really bright monocle, knife and blood in the floor I'll try to go for it, and see what's the outcome Thanks for the tip! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my first thought when i got the mini, but i’d rather keep him in the dark 😏 i’ve seen one done like that around the web, and it looks very cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Think Sonnia is approaching completion, if only because she's causing me an unsustainable level of eyestrain. Soz for the crap photos. They're partly due to my phone being broken and part so you can all share in my pain! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lusciousmccabe Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Thanks for the kind words @Burnin' Coal and @Purple Mist. I'm not really feeling the model anymore so it helps to keep the motivation up to finish her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctaBit Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Was finally able to get some priming done the other day. Painting in Maine during the winter is not an easy task... Started working on one of the warped. Got the skin mostly done, and I've got the base coat on the pants done. I could you some help on hashing out the scheme though. My idea for these guys is to go for ash-y looking skin and for worn out cloths that are some mixture of red, orange, or yellows (its cult of the burning man, so I figured that would make sense). It doesn't have to be straight for those colors. The paints in this picture are a brown, that I'm going to hit with a wash to add some more color into. The other think I want to do is add some osl "magic" like effects. My plan is to use the complimentary color to whatever colors are used in the cloths. So for example if this guy has orange pants, he would have a blue glow. The problem is I'm not really sure where to add the glow for this guy. For something like the doomseekers its fairly obvious on where to put it. For this guy I'm having some difficulties figuring it out. If anyone has any advice for this guy specifically or the theme as whole I'd love to hear it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 You could do the glow coming from the eyes/mouths, but there isn't much of it that would fall onto the model if that's what you're looking for. Or you could just pick a corner of the model to glow up and pretend it's lit from off camera. Put him beside your other models as an excuse.

Nikodemus Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Glowing eyes are an easy way to add some pizzazz. ___ Been doing some basecoating on my Jorogumo amidst other projects. I forgot how long these guys take to paint. So many limbs, all in each others' way. Cool models though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
