So this is the beginning of the army painting challenge for this year.
All you need to do is post a picture of the unpainted unit in this thread, and then make sure your post the completed entry before the end of the month. I will post up my first beastman unit later this week as they are not quite built yet.
I derped and posted my May Painting Deathmatch entry here earlier. However, I have also been working on my Lions Rampant, and have made a new Chapter Master model. The photos aren't great, unfortunately, but meh.
I'm nowhere near close to finishing at the minute so I'm going to have to burn one of my RL cards in the first bloody month :cray:
I'll post up a picture of how far I've got when I can.
I'll be back next month with a fresh entry though! I will do this challenge! k:
Not sure I will get my captain finished...I did some extra conversion work on the bike because I wasn't happy with it. Unfortunately, the humidity has been through the roof here, so I have been wary of putting paint down. Crossing my fingers to get it done this week though.
Woot got my entry done. Don't know if I'll get the other 11 guys I wanted to done this month but I got the 5 I said I would done and thats what counts!
(Project log will be updated with individual pics etc later tonight)
This month's entries: Canoptek Wraiths. A genuine challenge in painting, just because they're a) time consuming and b) (Spoilered for rage)
TOO GOD DAMN FIDDLY AND PRONE TO BREAK IF YOU SO MUCH AS LET A SPECK OF DUST LAND ON ONE OF ITS GODDAMN ARM THINGS.
I have more pictures, if needs be. I'll be starting a project log next month, and they'll all go on there (even the ones where they've got red eyes and are gurning uncontrollably). Well, the attachments died. Here are some proper ones:
And apparently they've died too. Spoilered, attachments are back. Sorry for the stupidly huge post. Oh, and apparently the attachments are working. I'm confused now.
MY wee effort, not based yet as I cannot decide how to do them,so plain grey base for the moment, no chapter icon as they are home brew and I have to work out how to do my own transfers!
Don't know why but every time that I sat down to work on these fellows something happened. Either I wanted to paint something else, work on terrain or just not paint them. But here they are with a few hours to spare.
NTAW I started with a Krylon ultra flat tan spray. Washed it in Agrax Earthshade and then used Kommando Khaki to dry brush it. Put on some bronze here some yellows there and lots of blood drops. I think it came out pretty good, I wasn't a fan of the super shiny bronzes. This way they still stand out but aren't glaring. What do you think good change?
It looks good, though it doesn't look gold. It might just be the picture, but it looks more like the browns that you said. That's what stuck out about it to me, they are almost desert camo. I like that it's different.
Last minute entry, finally finished those pesky archers. Tryning to remodel a kitchen and paint minis is an adventure... Sorry for the sucky pics, but I have no time to try harder.
Ten High Elf Archers. There is one extra from the original six I painted about two years ago. I think they match well.
I think i'm going to have to play a RLC. Being ill this weekend, along with my brush and white paint deciding it's a good time to go horrible means I won't be able to finish the unit to a satisfactory standard. I hate white.
I'm going to go nap, then might give it one last ditch effort to get the unit finished before tomorrow.
Had a good power nap, a bath and some indian, and managed to bust out the rest of the unit to an acceptable standard. I'll go back and add further details later on, but they'll do for now:
This is the best photo I can do for the moment, it being night time and all I'll add some better lighted photos to my log tomorrow!
Thats your lot for the month. The June thread is now open.
