Finished up my reanimator.

Priming some Mantic dwarfs while the weather allows.

Started putting together some crummy Aliexpress specials I'm planning to break apart again as shattered statues.

More work on another scratch-built Manufactorium building for Necromunda.

Cheers,

Got a kit of plague monks yesterday that was meant for a 40k project, but due to my current lack of interest in 40k (should be over in a few weeks) I ended up converting a bunch of Skaven, so I'm hoping to put paint paint on my new grey seer, plague priest, censer bearers and the others.

Painting my ogres. First　5 looking good. Still some highlighting to do plus tattoos etc but think i'll do tattoos to all 15 models together.

Note various skin tones. 6 different for ogres, 3 for mounts. Helps adding variety to rather monopose models.

Finished painting Weathertop for a friend as a commission.

That was a beeeeeeeeast of a month.

Finally cleaned up the imperial space marine statue, now ready for primer and continuing my Mad Donna mini for the competition.

Note to everyone: check which can of varnish you are using before you start spaying! Accidentally used a can of gloss rather than satin varnish on some Arcadia Quest minis. Now I have a pair of very shiny orcs

I've been given some advice though that a flat/matt (Testors Dullcote) will help bring them back, although apparently have to give it a couple of days otherwise the 2 varnishes can react and do something horrible to it..

tneva82,

Nice work.

Pacific,

That worked for me on terrain I had given a gloss varnish to protect the work that will be marched over...then applied Dullcote to give it the plain matt coverage. Although there was a little bit of shine still, it was much reduced. I also applied only a single very thin matt (additional application might have removed the shine completely).

Worked on some of my scratch built Necromunda terrain and stripped some old metal Eldar Support Weapon Gardians (complete with tremendous sideburns and duster coats).

Cheers,

CB

Thanks - that's re-assuring to know

Putting opposite varnish does work. Also sometime varnish goes awry and ends　up misty. No problem. Just put gloss over matt or matt over gloss and problem solved. Good to keep in mind

Painting some foam scenery that's been sitting in a box, pink, for quite some time now. Looks like I have someone who is going to play some Gaslands with me IRL so I have to through a table together . . .

Going to pick up my copy of Halpi's Rift (a Kings of War casual play supplement) at my FLGS.

It's packing packing packing time! Will anything survive a move? Boxes: the greatest enemy of all miniatures

Finished up Killmonger. Now working on Crossbones and some old Yu Jing.

If you do carrying then if you have magnetic transport solution all

Got 12 mournfand done except for banner details so started working on last 3 models for 2k list.

Burned through a bunch of Minis I had based but not painted, Including these classic boys

Painting crusader tanks, and valentine turrets, put coms kit on my baneblade, dug out my neglected Pig Iron system soldiers, cleaned them up, based them, primed them and have started to put a camoflague pattern together on the first mini.

I produced Barbed wire for a project in the close future and more importantly sanded my big piece of terrain for my terrain tutorial in my blog.. Sand

Working on getting the base colors done on a bunch of models while I wait for the colors I need to do the details in the mail.

Got to play Pulp Alley using Necromunda minis and terrain yesterday.

Today I finished up this trial tower/stairs thing that Black Magic Craft has on his channel. I went very small with mine to see how it would work but it was pretty easy to chuck together as a concept. Next one will be larger.
