The backdrop was really excellent and so was the atmosphere. For me it was just below my top 3. Great job! Thank you! I think I could have made it better if I actually had access to my hobby space and all my usual tools, but I had to make due with a makeshift painting station on the kitchen table 🤣 Most notably I didn't have my magnifying goggles, so my brushcontrol wasn't the best. Due to the rest of the family actually needing the table every now and then I didn't really have enough time to put in the effort I would have liked either. But next time....

djmacbest Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Alright, month about to enter its final third, time for a status update: March so far: - Finished both Viks, Big Jake, 1x Ronin - "Finished" Kaeris (alt) - to be fair, all I did was varnish her, because I was pondering adding some changes for the last couple of weeks and just now decided to leave her as it is for now, so wouldn't really count her as painted in March - Taking a break from Mercenary for now, instead starting with painting some Woes, I think So here's what I'm going to start today: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 183 soulstones and more to come @Moinetbeard - as always, impressive base and lovely, bright and saturated colors. Top notch brushwork! @Diddick - this bright green skin tone looks absolutely amazing in contrast with dark clothes. Super smooth highlights, love it! @Hawkoon - lovely OSL, and a very atmospheric piece! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkoon Posted March 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 @Viruk Wow! Either you're inhuman, or you have a staff of trained monkeys to paint for you... The fact that every single model is well painted as well just blows my mind 🤯 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheist Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 @Viruk the Beast What are you gonna do with that Highquality Speedpainting fame? well... I managed to get back into the game. Earned my mulligan back and did this month in one go. You all have been emhorsipated! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Nekima there are a lot of things I'm not entirely pleased with, the face kept giving me troubles and my camera work remains shoddy, but her sword was my first sizeable attempt at NMM and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. As for the Chimera's I'm especially pleased with Cojo's fur. I have always hated the way the sculpt looks as he is a big hairy ape with incredibly smooth curvy surfaces all over him where his hair is meant to be. I did a little greenstuff work around the joins to hide some of his really big connection gaps and then the paint work feels like it has actually added some depth to his fur to counteract how smooth it was.

Warpig Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Been a tough month so far but managed to squeak these two out along with chompy. A mere 30ss but more than I thought I would get done. and yes I have a bunch of the old metals. Detail isn’t as good but I still enjoy them more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 @Gheist - great looking crew, those bright colors go so well with darker bases! @TimH - great looking beasts! Bright shades on Nekima and cartoonish style of painting worked really well too! @Warpig - nice nd clean brushwork there! Old metal minis may lack some of the detail and dynamism of the new plastics but they do have great character! From my end - reporting a grand total of 307 soulstones. Don't think I can do more I painted some 3D prints that will stand in for Kastore Fervent, Cavern Nephilim, and Gwyll + Barbaros and Blood Hunter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedrus Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Caedrus, reporting in! I will have to upload images later, as I am away with family, but this month I managed to squeeze in just enough points to avoid a Mulligan. I managed a Pigapult (7SS), a Slop Hauler (5SS) and a War Pig (9SS), making 21SS total! Images to come soon! Caedrus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moinetbeard Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Last few models finished this month, the gamin just in time for a tournament in the morning! Pretty pleased with how they came out, they were fun to paint. The Golem was a bit of a slog but I got there in the end! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit triggerhappy there? 🤣 I guess you could just edit the additional posts with content that doesn't flood the thread, or ask a mod to delete them? Models are looking good though 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmacbest Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 March wasn't a bad month. Well, it was, workwise, but I poured pretty much every free minute into the miniature hobby - my letterboxd profile for example is completely empty, I didn't watch a single movie. So, aside from assembling a bunch of Warcradle Scenics terrain and about 50 Malifaux minis, here's what I finished painting this month: - 2x Viktoria Chambers (M2E models) - 2x11SS = 22SS - 2x Ronin (M2E models) - 2x6SS = 12SS - Big Jake - 5SS - Baby Kade - 7SS ==> 48 Soulstones - honorable mention: Kaeris (alternate), which I pondered making some more changes, but then just ended up varnishing as it was And then there's a lot of WIP stuff that I started slapping paint on and which will likely be top of the queue for April: - Pandora is closest to the finish line, just some cleanup and a bit of details on smaller elements still missing - Candy has her basecoats and first layers of shading, but no highlights yet - Sorrows and Poltergeist I started once I realized that I really like how the green glow on Pandora and Kade came out and how easy it was to get there (white basecoat, thin layer of VGC Livery Green, then generous drybrush of VMC Fluorescent Green) - might add a bit more contrast with a slightly darker greenish tone on the highest parts, but may even leave it like it is - Pandora2 is such a cool sculpt. Shame building up the different shades of red it needs to look interesting will require about 20 layers. I'm at about 10 right now... - With Vanessa, as always, I got hesitant as soon as I got to the fire. Always lose confidence as soon as I'm supposed to paint flames, haven't found a recipe I'm happy with yet - Hans I just lost interest a bit, that one may stay half-painted for a while So here's the end of March status in one picture: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
