Necro Day 6 - the real post :)

I started poking away at the Brightsiders last night and suddenly realized that they were almost done! I have another couple hours to go with piping, numbering and details, but they are really starting to shape up.

I'm not in love with the monochrome orange though and may add some white and green piping to their cloaks; what's the consensus?

Fire Dragons - Day 5

Well, despite my best efforts, the colour scheme I was trying to pull off did not work. At least not yet. I was trying to start with a brownish base, work up to red, then through to orange, but the orange just isn't coming through. It might just need more layers. So right now I have Superman meets Fire Dragon. I am starting to get some technique back, but it is a slow process. The lack of a decent selection of paint colours isn't helping.

Necro Day 4

No day 3 for me as I was enjoying a nice game of Blood Bowl. Here I've simply added the third uniform base color, washed the orange with Devlan Mud, and built up the first highlight again. I figure they're roughly halfway done at this point.

Fire Dragons - Day 4. Sort of.

Well, this is actually a Day 5 post, but it is a morning post. I felt guilty about not painting last night, and finished up the last of the armour basecoat this morning. I also realized that I overpainted in some areas. At least I think I did, so I may make some changes before I proceed.

Fire Dragons - Day 3

Another virtually pointless post. A couple more with their armour base coated. I need to try and get more time to paint.

Necro Day 2

I got a little work done on the rest of my Necro team last night; most of the uniform base coloring, in fact.

The dude on the extreme left is already done; I'm using him as a guide for the rest of 'em. The helmets are still bare because I'm thinking of doing them in reverse colors (green with orange stripes).

I've also finally realized that using the black primer as a shortcut to shading looks like shit in all but the most extreme folds, so I will be going back to solid colors and ink washes for this set. And probably retouching the other lads when I'm done.

Not pictured here is the Werewolf, who is naked and so won't be enjoying uniform colors. I intend to promote him to represent Star Player Wilhelm Chaney once I grab that Willy Miniatures wolf I've been coveting.

Fire Dragons - Day 2

Not much painting done tonight, but I didn't want to fall behind on updates after only one day.

Necro post

I'm gonna throw in on this challenge too, and finish painting my Necromantic team for Blood Bowl. I have a lot of the positionals done already, and just have 5 Scarecrows, 1 Ghoul, 1 Werewolf and 1 Wight to finish (I'll add sideline staff later on). Pics of the unfinished product to come!

Eldar Fire Dragons - Day 1

Well, I have started work on my Eldar pirate army. No points, no list, just whatever I feel like having in it.

I will try and post an update each day, until the completion, sometime in the next 14 days.

Eldar alert

So I stumbled across a whole whack of Eldar I was going to use to do an Eldar pirate army. Basically raiders who primarily engage in hit and run attacks. A lot of old sculpts in the mix, with a few of the newer ones. Not sure if I will actually base them on an army list, or just kind of make up my own list without points. It isn't like I play anyway ;)
