Looks great! May I ask you if you did use just one colourshift paint or more?

I just used the Chameleon Colorshift in Martian Green from Greenstuff World on that one, and it really popped! Another one has Copper Nebula on it.

@Caedrus : I had angel eyes and howard langston from scratch and finishing 2 orderlies, heartsbane, scion and grimwell. I've done all the starter lot but I've not even managed to start howard yet. I have all sunday to do it, but I don't want to rush it and screw it up so I might have to take the fail.

I painted Mech Rider past month challenge with Chamaleon Colorshift Dark Blue. I posted also a video as regard.   I'm experimenting in these days, using more colourshift paints layering them on the same model. The effect is great. Not yet did try to mix different Colorshift paints before airbrushing, but guess  it is something to do, soon or later.

Hi hope children are off to bed !

Just remove my pic if it's offensive 

That's already 11 Ss :

• tanuki : 5
• bushwaker : 6

 

@bedjy 😂😂😂😂😂

@Caedrus and everyone else....I'm going to have to go back quite a few pages and go over with calm what looks to be like another amazing collection of models that have made it from shelves and boxes and into the gaming arena this month...

...for me life kind of happened in a way these last weeks that didn't include a whole ton of painting...nonetheless stuff got done along the way...I am just putting the finishing touches to another five Broken from TOS...so by Sunday they'll be based and varnished and posted

 

Alright here are my models for the month. Original pledge was for three warped, but I ended up painting a bit more.

Group shot:

Decided not to do the glow on the big guy. My dry brush is pretty much dead. So the osl is going to have to wait till I get a new one, but for now I'm happy with them.

Test model for my crow runners, and the last model I need for my Jack Daw crew.

Last couple models I need for my Parker Crew.

Total comes out to 49 stones. Not particularly happy with the photos. I need to get a better camera. In other news I finished up the last models I needed in order to submit my henchman application.

Hello! Here are my models for March, pics as always are not that good but they have to do!

 

The family that kills together...

 

Santiago and Papa Loco. Sadly there is too much light to see Papa's straighjacket, I'm considering buying Green Stuff's light box (on the other hand that would take away my favourite excuse to justify my skills, ahahaha).

 

And here are Francisco and Perdita. After finishing her I thought that maybe it wasn't a bright idea giving her the same colour for the jacket and the overall (or whatever is called what she is wearing over her jeans) but in my mind it looked better.

* Perdita Ortega: 15 SS

* Santiago Ortega: 8 SS 

* Francisco Ortega: 9 SS

* Papa Loco: 7 SS

For a total of 39 SS (few models but quite pricey).

 

Damn!  I ve been busy lately and i didn t realized that March’s over...  Glad to see the challenge is on and with great jobs!!!

I have to figure out what to pledge for april.  Nix will be an afordable pledge, or maybe the necropunks... 🤔

@OctaBit Wow our Warped this month came out vary similar colours, I was also painting Crooked Men for my Jack Daw crew, but didn't finish. I think we may be psychically linked!

@Caedrus March isn't looking good for me... If I cobble something together tomorrow I might be in with a shot. 

@Athiko Haha, I was thinking the same thing when I saw your updates earlier. Great minds think alike I guess.

@Athiko - really like the use of blue on these, it adds a nice element of contrast to pale skin.

@Chou - nice, clean paintjob on the family. And definitely get a LED-light whitebox, can't go wrong with it!

@OctaBit - nice selection, the Warped are my favorites, really like these models!

@bedjy - the fur on Tanuki looks excellent and the bright colors you've used work really well there. The diorama looks great too!

@Phinn - that actually looks like a mini diorama, great job!

@Kimberly - nice looking terrain you have there, I'm sure it will draw many looks at Adepticon

@Caedrus - I think many Polish painters paint this very special kind of water with some extra % in it, this may be the key here! And you can add 24ss to my pledge this month :) And I really like your Acolytes, blue isn't easy to work with on larger flat surfaces but their cloaks look great here!

@Nikodemus - nice highlights on red skin, like the contrast with black spider body.

@Stranglelove - Rhino is my favorite here by far, great model and you've done it justice with excellent brushwork.

@emiba - looking really good, two more day to finish so keep at it ;)

@Franchute - the base looks great, as always, now just finish the mini :)

@lusciousmccabe - both the base and mini look very good, nice and clean paintjob.

@prof_bycid - love the vivid shades of green/yellow, they suit this model so well!

@wobbly_goggy - sweet paintjob on the Fire Golem. Working all those flames up can be a daunting task (been there!) but you've made it shine ;)

 

Once again, I'm more at home than I'd like to and currently going through third antibiotic cycle. The only good thing is I had a bit more time so I finished four more minis for extra 24ss. More pics on the blog: http://www.whatthefaux.net/2019/03/razorspine-rattlers.html

Spring is coming:  good weather and stable temperatures will help more than antibiotic cycles!

Nice work with minis: I prefer the darker razorspine-rattlers, guess because more realistic?  The orange ones must have been a challenge: yellow and orange are difficult shades to manage, at least for me, and you did a great job. I like a lot the contrast with blue spots.

@Athiko nice minis; like a lot your palette. Bases are very original and perfect for your models. Congrats.

Guys, I won "Best Painted" in the Adepticon The Other Side tournament!! 😬💫

Thanks! I used my Cult of the Burning Man company. The Rhino and Portals were the judges' favorite minis.

Congratz @Stranglelove you deserve it, your company looks awesome  

Congrats @Stranglelove! Well deserved!

Called it! Congratulations - a well-deserved win.

@Caedrus I finished Fitzsimmons for 8ss, meaning that I will have painted 22 stones in March:

Before you claim that the highlights in the back are amazing, let me tell you that there are some actual reflexion of light from my lamp. Sorry for the bad quality of the picture.

And just because @misterfinn asked, here are some better (I hope) pictures of Mouse:

Phew, with a few minutes to spare, I give you Ikyrio, an Onryo and a Seishin (that I only now realized is also 0 points in M2E...) So in either edition it comes in at 15 points.

Thank you and I hope you like how they turned out. 🙂 

For the rest of you, I'm a huge fan of Viruk's painting and his Ikyrio from 2016 has very much been my inspiration for these and will continue to be for the rest of the crew.

@Caedrus, thanks, but there's no need for you to be ashamed, you didn't do it and hate and idiocy has no home country and no race. For something more uplifting, here's my 15 points for March, at 11:59pm on March 31. 

@Caedrus Oh don't worry, i finished my suitably pink pledge in time.

Bernie the Pope, 3 stalking portals, and 3 Raving Madmen for (IIRC) 60SS.
