dexefiend Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I primed these on Sunday, and I am trying to get done by Sunday! (Except the Ryle, I painted him a couple months ago.) I have Riflemen, McCabe box, Hoffman box, Peacekeeper, Sonnia Avatar, Justice Avatar, Student of Conflict and Jack Daw on the way. (Jack Daw is for Leveticus.) So, they are for next week!

GreenMonkey Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Wow very good and quite an effective use of colours. I'm particularly a fan of the OSL on the Death Marshals. If only I could push minis out this fast! Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSKrush Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I despise your efficiency. With knowing you are a Hamelin player as well, I really think you have an army of lost children in your basement painting for you. Really like The Family models. Great job and cant wait to see some avatars and McCabe added in. ---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ---------- And care to share how you actually got basically a whole faction painted in less than a week? (if it isn't the army of lost children, that is...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexefiend Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 This is a work-in-progress shot. I started by priming black using Vallejo Black primer, then I used Vallejo Grey primer spraying only from above and areas that I wanted a little brighter. Then, I sprayed the reds and browns. I knew I was going to have grey pants, and grey covers red rather well. Therefore, I wasn't concerned about over spray. This picture is after the first coat of reds and browns, there has been no shading yet. Total time spent by the time this picture was taken was about 3 hours. After this, its painting greys and flesh with a brush. Shading, washing, and then detail painting. I consider this level of painting tabletop standard, and is as good as I usually go. I probably averaged out 40 minutes per model for this batch. ---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ---------- ---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ---------- ---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ---------- I still need to varnish, and matte varnish... However, I will consider this portion MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexefiend Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I got my aSonnia, aJustice, Hoffman box, Peacekeeper, Drill Sergeant and 3 more Witchlings today! It takes a long time to assemble aSonnia! I did get the rest of them cleaned and ready for mold line removal. So much to do! Drill Sergeant looks like he brings a lot of utility to the Guardsman gun line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semahorny Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 The main goal here is to get a large number of models to the table-top, painted to an acceptable standard, in a relatively short pokemon towerdefense.com time. The models won't look as good as if you spent hours on each one, or if you spent time detailing each model - but they WILL look good enough to be on a gaming table.

moody628 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Love the color choices... I'm thinking something similar for my TT guys. Insanely jealous of your speed and efficiency.

Chris Tomlin Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Very clever use of a limited colour palette here, thats a top tip for efficient speed painting. Looks great bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durek Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Its a very nice and rich red. It really helps. Which one are you using to get that richness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexefiend Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 On a lighter note: I am painting Pimp My Ride Hoffman: I use Vallejo Model Air. On these, I used Light Red, Fire Red, and Scarlet Red. Edit: The flames look flamier in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexefiend Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I am trying to see how much I can have painted by February 14th. (Not for Valentine's Day, but because that will have been one month since I started.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIosian Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Very nice! And now after seeing them painted up like this I feel I'm going to need to get this box as well... I might as well just toss my cards and wallet through the breach! Lol! RIosian-Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
