EvilGinger Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 least favourite things to paint Napoleonic Austrians white coats white waistcoats white britches, white gaiters white webbing make me go snow blind... & Second world war German Pea dot cammo I did some on comision on some 15mm figures once never again as after sweating over the blasted things for hours I got something which looked really good but was practicable then had the guy complain bitterly because it was not under a 10x magnifier exactly the same as the flat sample picture in the Flames of war book he had given me as a source. happy times.

Ozz Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Dead Justice box, it has been sat on my table for 2 weeks now with the cloaks done and the flesh done, and i can not find the strength to paint the rest of their clothes or weapons or coffins because its getting to smaller and smaller areas and dry brushing becomes more difficult:( I hate painting and dry brushing makes it so simple to do most the time. And it has to be done, as i know its so much nicer to play an opponent with a painted army/crew and dont like to be the one turning up always with unpainted stuff so.

ghostmachine Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 the worst mini ive had to paint so far is baby kade my son has lost this figure 5 times so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guild Monkee Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I wouldn't say hate painting any but I'm really struggling to get excited about painting Rasputina. I have both sculpts and did a good chunk of her crew really quickly but it seems like a real chore to paint her. Not sure why because I like both of the minis.

Stonedog-7 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Canine Remains... not amazed by performance in game, not amazed by the models, and painting dead dogs that look "right" is proving to be a royal pain Also really dislike painting Pandora, just not enthused by the mini at all and that's making it a real struggle to work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fritz the cat Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I just couldn’t get them to look like spirits. No matter how I tried to paint them the bodies looked like grey, blue or green snakes. Not the smoke or mist effect I desired. when i get my set kirai crew together, i think im gonna borrow my friend and his airbrush and see what we can craft up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Lilith, though its a love-hate relationship. She was my first Wyrd miniature to paint. After painting about 100 more my skills improved, so I attempted to repaint her. This didn't turn out very well so I did it again and she sat for a while in white. I have recently stripped the paint and am about to paint her again; hopefully in a color scheme similar to the first but with a higher quality execution. I have repainted all of my nephilim since starting at least 1 time and am finally happy with most of them. I have repainted a bunch of Guild, but am finally happy with most of them. The female guild guard needs to be redone again. I am not a perfectionist, but I feel I can do better. She is the bane of my painting efforts. I ruined Ryle and a Peacekeeper because I wanted to add more to them, and made the paint job worse in the process. I wish I had a magic "undo" button with my painting. The Peacekeeper really annoys me because it looked really good to start with and now it needs extensive work. I tried to add some rusty weathering effects and they turned out bad. To repair this I repainted the armor a yellowish color but it didn't match the original well enough. I will eventually redo it. LCB turned out fine but I don't like my dreamer very much. Copellius was a pain for me because I wanted him to match my guild guard and fit into my dreamer's color scheme. This was hard to do and the results are not great. I recieved Nekima as a gift from my mother-in-law who was visiting for a few days. She wanted me to finish painting Nekima before she left so she could take back a picture. I just finished the repaint, which took a bit longer than the original. Edited December 12, 2011 by micahwc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I wish I had a magic "undo" button with my painting. That would be soooo awesome... The ones I hated the most, well, the Death Marshals. They turned out quite good in the end, but meh...it was so BORING to paint them. Also the same with the Judge, but it was even more annoying to assemble that guy. Apart from those, I have a LOT of problems with the Showgirls crew, I kinda love painting them, but I can't achieve the level of paintjob they deserve, so, gonna repaint(and rebase) the Performers and Cassie... Speaking of non-Wyrd things...Space Marines. I just can't get Power Armour to look right (especially with my friend's Black Templars, it sucks to paint black PA). Strange, but I have no problem with Terminator Armour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemachine Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I am in the process of painting my mechanical rider. That has been the most frustrating model that I have ever painted. I haven't really painted a metric butt ton or anything, but man. I have her on a fancy base and everything, and its taken me about 9 hours so far. And I havent even started the detailing or anything.

Ebonstar Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Kirai, for some inexplicable reason. She is just so clean and simple- I want to go all fancy-style the way some of you guys have her painted. I will probably pick up another model and paint it up, then try the fancy and fail miserably, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
