OTT: Obliteration Completion!

I finished my Tara crew late Friday night and even got a couple games in with her on Saturday. More on that later. I am fairly happy with how they all turned out.



I also started on my Hans stand in, Steampunk Dorothy. She looks way better in person, honest. This figure may have too much detail. Seriously, there is crap to paint everywhere. So, of course, I added a spade on her breast.

I have issues.

OTT: Two Thirds Obliterated

My Obliteration crew is coming along nicely(finally). I have six of the nine models finished.



Two more screaming towards completion



And one that is likely to give me fits deciding what to do with her. Likely, I will have to do what I generally do, start on the parts I'm sure of and watch the rest fall in line.

OTT: When Death Marshal come knocking

Finished my test Death Marshal. I like it. Shaffer had suggested going with a super dark grey scale on everything but the flames. It kinda hit where I thought about going. These guys are shadows of memories Karina totes around, so I wanted to make them shadowy, except for the scarey fire heads she remembers. While the dark black with fire would have worked, and I am contemplating doing one this way, I instead painted them really dark. Everything is basically charadon granite and the base color, highlighted up by adding the base color, so it never really even makes it up to the base. And after that I glazed everything not on fire with GW night shade. I think it has the super dark, shadow of a memory effect I was going for, especially next to the rest of the crew.



Speaking of the rest of the crew, instead of finishing the other two Death Marshals, I started in on Karina. Started in is probably the wrong word, since her dress and flesh were mostly done. I'm liking how she turned out, not my best work, but she is coming nicely. I still need to dirty her up and do the base rim, but that's for another day.

Well, off to see some hot air... And I'm not even headed to Hobby Town this weekend.

OTT: The Night Lords of Sleep Hollow

Be warned for the Headless Horde approacheth. I am just two plasma guns short from finishing my Night Lords up until they get heads and shoulder pads. Both are to ordered from GW bits, so may be a bit. I hope to begin my bases soon and try to get that working. The Loveland Library has a 3D printer, which I may utilize for the rhinos. I plan to use Legion Sicaran Battle Tanks for the basis for my scratch built rhinos. I think they have a more menacing look than my standard rhino scratch builds, and we all know hoe I feel about the puny stock rhinos(or at least do now).



It hasn't been all 40K though. I have started in on my paint job for the Death Marshals. This guy is my test piece. I think he is turning out really well, and I hope the "shadow effect" I plan to add doesn't mess it all up.

Until next time...

OTT: The Silence Is Broken!

Kinda.

Work continues on my Tara crew, but nothing in the past week. I have been kinda adverse to painting them, just not in the mood and a little unsure on where to go with them. I think I have an idea and hope to get back onto them soon.

What I have been working on instead is my new Night Lords army. Yes, I am aware I have a problem. I blame Nabors, I'm pretty sure he set me up. Anyway, the chosen are coming along nicely, and as you can see from previous posts, I am enjoying them immensely. My favorite bit so far is the flamers.

I also have some ideas for the Heldrakes and Daemon Princes, using the Vampire Counts Terrorgheists and Valgheists, respectably. Its gonna be sick, but not cheap, so may take a while to get everything finished.

Until next time... something something awesome something.

TMI: In the Tumult of Chaos

No late night gaming, though of course, the one time I didn't bring my X-Wing stuff, Paul is up for a game. What I did play, though, was Malifaux and 40K. I'll wait while you recover from the shock.

TMI: The Chosen One

This last weekend I finally had a go with my Chosen list, with a couple Heldrakes to test Nabors's new Space Marines, and I liked it. I also managed to squeeze in a game of Malifaux 2nd Edition versus Shaffer's Rasputina crew.
