"We Commit Thee to the Simple Green..."


It's been fun, but the Tomb Blades need a new coat of paint.  Totally new.  I have frankly been dissatisfied to various degrees with their current paint job for a long time (they were the alpha test models for my airbrush), and their yellow paint scheme also breaks up the "line troops colorful, sneaky and speedy things grey camo" theme I blundered into, er, planned in painting the Lahkers.

I've made the decision to fully paint the Lahkers.  Not just a full coat of paint, but painted, washed, highlighted, based, the whole nine yards.  This is just one step on the glorious road to fielding a fully painted army at the FLGS.  (And winning with it, of course.)

Workbench #4.1: Painting Lychguard/Praetorians


Been busy painting up the Lychguard and Praetorians the last few days, they're turning out great.  I'm also building and painting a few more lords, overlords, and the custom Cryptek as well.  And the gauss blasters you see there are for the Immortals in the back.  They used to be my tesla Immortals, but since I have literally used tesla only once or twice since the dawn of 7E, I'm switching them to gauss blasters.  Effective, WYSIWYG-accurate, and way cooler.


Plus working on these guys was the perfect excuse to buy more paints.  I'm a recent convert to the Game Color line, for its nifty eyedropper caps and for the quality of its paint.  It flows really well straight out of the bottle, it settles into crevices well, and it's not so fluid it just goes everywhere.  (Like, say, super-thin superglue.  Boy, have I learned my lesson there.)


Detail on the rearmed Immortal and a Warrior who has been my guinea pig for a standardized painting method test.  It has been very successful, I'm planning to do a how-I-paint post in the near future.


More second-hand Destroyers, because I'm irrecoverably addicted to plastic crack you can never have enough Destroyers.  Looking forward to fielding a full-strength Destroyer Cult with these dudes.


Working on the Venerable Dread my pal Ike gifted to me, and my "come-on-and-slam" Pariah-turned-overlord model.


Hopefully all these guys will be fully painted and up in batreps soon.

Airbrush Addiction


It's real, it's wonderful, and the only downside is my wallet potentially taking a hit so I can paint more models!  MORE!

Uh, anyway.  Working on painting up my Marines now.
