A quickie from last week...

Image

The Creature from the Black Lagoon, a Paul Muller sculpt for Four A Miniatures. Total painting time: 2 & 1/2 hours (plus a few drying times here and there). Mostly washes work.

Currently stumped with my entry for the Heresy PAL (mostly due to lack of time) and with my Chaos Dwarfs BB team (due to lack of time and patience).

Cheers!

Had a feeling that my "wild" warband for OFS was missing 'something' and that 'something' could well be a centaur armed with a bow:

The wilderness warband is now definitely closed. :mrgreen:

It is also time to realize that I will not finish the project list that I set out to for 2016. With quite a few deviations along the year it was to be expected that some projects would fall to the wayside. Most will be moved to 2017 but some may be dropped from the queue to be picked up if fancy strikes me rather than as an "obligation". :beardy:

The latest achievements:

Image

Otherworld Djinn for my secong OFS warband (see project list below). Pretty much finished, except for basing but that is something I'll do once I have the whole warband painted up.

And just wrapped up my entry for the December 2016 PAL: Heresy showcase, a Minor Fallen One sculpted by Andy Foster:

Image

:cuss: satin varnish fogged up and tried to correct with gloss. 'nuff said. Oh, well, it looks like he's sweating, I suppose...

My "project list for 2016" is pretty much a toss at this moment. The only miniature I am sure of finishing at the moment is the Mummy Lord for the OFS warband #2 and, with some luck, either the Heresy Witch or the Black Orc Coach (big if...).

- Heresy Witch by Paul Muller [primed and a couple of skin layers]

Won't be able to finish my last miniature for the year so the final model count for 2016 is 56 models (adding completed projects and models completed in wip projects), ever so slightly above one weekly model. Not bad. :)

Unfortunately, due to Real Life priorities, I doubt I will be able to start any serious painting before late January...

Late January, early February and not much got done (sort of). This is where I am now, painting-wise...

Image
The Mummy Lord from Otherworld miniatures is the second-to-last piece for my Otheworld Warband #2. To be honest, I had this piece halfway done in December (was to be my Deadcember miniature). There's only one piece and basing to go to wrap up Warband #2 and, then, I hope to start work on Warband #3.

Over Christmas I did the unthinkable and bought Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower and all the expansions (that's Mighty Heroes and Arcane Heroes). Still haven't had the chance for a single game but there's a pile of plastic waiting to be painted. And it will be painted, despite me hating painting plastics. Because I want to play the goddamned game with a minimum of style. So, with a couple of exceptions (for miniatures that I think are truly exceptional like Mistweaver, Gaunt Summoner and the Shard) I am painting this stuff as fast as I can with a "speed-painting minimum effort for maximum results" mindset. I hope to be able to work on this stuff (and get it over and done with quickly, for a change) while I tackle other more "deserving" (i.e., metal) stuff.

So far, this is what I have finished:

The Knight Heraldor
(clipped the trumpet)

Knight Questor

Image
Grot Scutlings
(block colours, a few highlights, pick some details, wash sepia, paint bases, done)

Project List for 2017
- Otherworld Skirmish warband #2 [85%; painted: 1 Oni/Ogre Mage, 1 Penanggalan, 1 Weretiger, 1 Djinni, 1 Mummy Lord; to paint: 1 Illusionist]
- Chaos Dwarf Blood Bowl team [painted: bull centaur and hobgoblin star players, 6 hobgoblins, 2 bull centaurs, female chaos dwarf; to paint: 6 chaos dwarfs @ 50%, minotaur, coach]
- Otherworld Skirmish warband #3 [drow sorceress, myconid king, 5 myconids, centipedes, giant scorpion, 3 duergar, 4 troglodytes]
- Chaos Dwarf Arse Cannon by John Pickford
- Pantheon of Chaos Wave 1. All of it.

Nice paint jobs, congrats!
The little details on the bases look cool.

I can see some potential in those grot sculpts to convert into bloodbowl minis.
Are they mono-pose, or do they come on more than one piece?

Cheers,
A.

Two-piece kits. Left side + right side, 3 variants of each iirc. Head is part of one of the sides.

Thanks!
Two halves sound easier to deal in order to snip weapons and re-position parts.

Cheers,
A.

I'm calling him "mister negative" after painting him in dark colours and then washing/glazing him with VGC Glacier Blue.
