Popular Post DemiMurgos Posted September 26, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Finally! It is done! I have officially worked off my mulligan and am finishing September with a total of 24 SS! I will still work on projects but don't intend to finish anything by the end of the week, given all the hassle with IRL work going on. The kunoichis follow the box art more or less; they have given me an opportunity to try to paint silk and nylon-like textures. Which I now officially put on my top 3 hated things to paint (next to space marines and horses). EDIT: I have some issues with the picture upload, apologies. EDIT 2: Managed to delete some old material, you're up, girls! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moinetbeard Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 On 9/23/2022 at 8:09 AM, DemiMurgos said: Probably, I only found a bottle of Model Color "magenta fluorescent" and it has the same consistency as my canvas acrylics, like glue (despite shaking it like crazy). The frankenmagenta stuck somehow, I'll shoot a pic later when the varnish dried. Painting miniatures made me realize how important magenta can be, it makes everything more vibrant in the mix. For anyone who saddled over from canvases to miniatures: Liquitex paints are amazingly vibrant if you can somehow find the best solution-ratio (suffers from gloopyness otherwise). Oh yea that'll be it - the fleuro paints have a very wierd consistency, slightly gloopy and transparent. You have to shake them for absolutely ages too. I do however use them in conjunction with the regular colours- normally for a light source or similar. Normal process for that is to work through from dark base colour to light and then put in a few small areas of white. Then go back over with the fleuro, first mixed with the regular colour and then on its own. No idea if that's the best way, but it seems to work! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caedrus Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Caedrus, reporting in! I hope everyone has had an amazing September! I have completed 29SS this month, and met my targets! I'm on holidays for a week, so I needed to get these guys finished before time. I messed around with an idea this month; I used a diluted Basilicanum Grey / Black Templar Contrast Paint mix as a liner wash prior to painting (similar to Reaper Paint's 'Liner'). It worked quite well, I think. So this month was M&SU. I decided to keep the militaristic colours of the Captain through the entire M&SU crew as a unifying component. How'll that work with Amina, or a Steamfitter? No idea. I ended up with a blue and brass combination. The blue is a touch deeper and darker in real life (I'm not a great photographer). Onto the minis! I've been looking forward to painting The Captain (10SS). I really nice sculpt (albeit a bit of a rough cast, regrettably). Toni was next (15SS). I couldn't deal with the hairstyle, so I sculpted (poorly) a tight plait. It worked ... ok. Finally for the month, Mouse (4SS)! Overall, I was pretty happy with this month's lot. Next month, it'll be either more M&SU, or some remaining cats from my partially-completed Alt-Plague Caitlin crew! I'm loving everyone's efforts! See you in October! Caedrus. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kogan Style Posted September 28, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Well I managed it! The desire to use Oil wash to get a Grimdark version of Jedza overcame the grind of painting Sophie's details. Completing Sophie spurred me on to finish the Damned and 2 Surveyors. 1 to use in Seekers and the other to use in Syndicate. All this plus the Nexkids and Creeper means I tap out at 71ss for the month! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimH Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 Completed the savage keyword earlier in the month but didnt get around to posting it here. Havent really painted anything else but have done some assembly on chimera. Most of what I have now I'm waiting on a presumed Halloween painting contest before I start applying paint as I have a variety of things that might be usable as good spooky options. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats Laughing Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Painted these two back on Sept 10th, but didn't post here in case I finished anything else. I didn't, but now my whole Oni keyword is finished (pending bases and any Madness releases) so yay. Now to work on bases and move onto painting another crew. 2 Katashiro = 10 stones 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinenMusician Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 So here are my final minis for September (and I’ve got lots of started but not finished to move into October, hooray!) for a total of 27 ss (2 gamins, Sun Quiang and emissary from previous post) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shock & Awe Posted October 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 My final September model was actually finished weeks ago, but getting time to take pictures and post them was more challenging because the school year started in the interim. Long story long, here is my Silent Knight (alt. Killjoy) for the Fae crew. Only two official Fae models left! This was also my first time working with metal, which was interesting. Definitely prefer the plastic. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
