Remembered to bring the pen drive in today!
Remembered to bring the pen drive in today!
Well, I have finally got around to taking a photo of one of my Blood Bowl teams, prompted by snailracer (thank you, sir!) :)
Only a basic paintjob, but most servicable for playing Blood Bowl!
So, I think I found the best light for miniatures photography! An overcast day! Wow, no shadows...
Anyway, I was able to take my camera rig outside and take these pictures. Some new, some old:
Stayed up late to take some photos. Then my Pen drive refused to save the photos and I had to spend 20mins trying various things till it decided it wanted to save the photos....
This is a quick way to paint Skeletons. The method is based on an article on painting skeletons by Mike McVey in the Warhammer Fantasy Battle 4th Edition Rulebook.
You'll find that being able to paint bones and skulls will prove useful even if you don't generally paint fantasy figures. Many Sci-fi figures feature bones and skulls too.
Step 1. Take your figure and remove any mould lines or flash. This is important since the following painting method will really show up mould lines. I find a round needle file the best tool for this job.
Using this method you can easily turn out one or more figures in little over an hour.
Well I've made it onto Cheddarmongers, and have posted some pics of my minis.
This week's workbench is pretty full. Maybe I'll take a pic tomorrow... I finished Heresy Miniatures Skunk, but had a problem with Dullcote -- I just couldn't kill the shine! I finally got him matte enough for pictures. I also finished the Earthdawn Inebriated Troll I've had in my collection for years. He came out pretty cool, and is quite the partner for the Grenadier Ogress.
Since my attempt at a classic Genestealer colour scheme went rather well I decided to paint up the rest of my old style genestealers. Started tuesday night, had a night of painting wednesday and finished them friday night, so made good progress.
Of course, this meant I had to work on my new style genestealers, and since a friend of mine doesn't like Genestealers but loves Hormagaunts these were the next choice when I finished the genestealers.
So, new stuff up, and for once it is all in the same album.
...so little time. You know how it goes.
