Tabletop Warhammer?

@tiberuk Sisters!! IMHO there one of the coolest 40K armies.
Clones and droid look fab!

I don’t have an artistic bone in my body and also colour blind and probably the slowest painter ever but I love this hobby lore/painting.

It helps me to relax and has gotten me through rotten times in the past couple of years.

Space Marines don't really do it for me, so I watched a load of lore YouTube videos to figure out which faction to play, when I heard 'they drop churches from orbit and go to war blaring battle hymns' I was sold on Sisters

Though I'm also now getting into guard. Random dudes v genetic freaks and space monsters speaks to me

Had more paint arrive yesterday. Two GW contrast paint and it seemed such a waste paying postage for two pots so I threw in the TTC Orc greens.

GW second wave of contrast paint is so much stronger than the first!!

Also TTC wave 3 is up for preorder on element games. There’s at least 4 colours I really want. The death guard greens and the bright flesh tone.

I sprayed a lot of my knight metallic, and then remembered the downside which is that it's then really tedious getting other paints over it.
Tried to put another metallic over it and was very difficult. Wondering if I use a normal paint over the different metal colours and then put the metallic on that instead. So like put a brown over the silver and then do the copper.

The other bit is just me messing around with my airbrush. I sprayed a ink over the top just to see what would happen. Quite like it, really undecided how to do the armour panels to be honest.

I like the chest piece. I'm not sure how you would finish it off though. It maybe needs some shine on the rivet heads and some edge highlighting/weathering.
Its a very nice choice of colours though.

Well the trim and the midddle decoration thingy metallic, some kind of gold I guess but yeah I'm going to do one of the bigger parts and see. That bit just protects its robotic gonads.

Just finished my Vespids from the Hivestorm box set.

Waiting on the tufts to dry before they come off the painting handles.

So tonight I get 3 annoying boxes in the photo

Cheers all

well, don't think the DA or Tau sets actually existed.

 

[Bigpig]

Just did a test base from the GW video i posted with a few tweaks with some AK products and I think once dry its going to look sweet without much effort

 

[Bigpig]

OoOoO GW starting to tease more Space Wolves tidbits!!

Refresh incoming??

Must haves!! Which I can see happening

New Logan. Would love to see him upscaled and have two wolf companions on foot instead of the Santa sleigh. That model will be baller. Like how can’t it be? The old man that can sprint in Termi armour, rip through named gray knights. Went toe to toe against two primachs. Hopefully they do his axe justice.

New Bjorn. Upscale Dreadnaught kit. It has to happen. Two many awesome named Dreadnaughts.

Wolf Gaurd Termies.
Can see this happening. Seems a straight forward upgrade.

I’m afraid for

Thunder wolf cavalry. I can see some of our completely unique models getting the legend treatment:/

 

[Noxia]

I saw a person at AoS tournament yesterday get most of his important units wiped out on turn one and concede.
This is my biggest gripe with GW games, it shouldn't be over before your opponent gets a turn.

My group are also now trying to tempt me into Legions Imperialis.

Just assembled this years Red Gobbo, complete with snowman and elf, by god the elf is tiny.

No way am I painting that all assembled, especially with all the white on the model.

Big update as now finished all my Grey Knights except the Dreadknight. Need to add grass to some, but going to do all in a batch with the Dreadknight base.

Here's a image of the ground troops all together on a steel lined base and bigger images of the Brotherhood Librarian, Standard Bearer, Apocathery and Captain. Some images came out too big and needed resizing, but will just leave them as they are, but they are massively bigger than the models in reality, so have many visible mistakes I couldn't see when painting. Should be totally done by Christmas, while could be a lot better painted they do look great in the display box which is lined with steel for the magnet bases, the giant Dreadknight needed a fair few magnets to hold it, but they all hold steady and look great as an ornament.

Today was a good day. Just home from work and this was waiting

 

[Bigpig]

I like the way these have turned out. Might need a little bit of gloss varnish over the texture paint.

I have 3d printed them and just use a blob of blu tack on the top to hold the mini when I am painting them.

At the last count I had 20 of them, so I don't need to remove the mini to paint the next one when I am batch painting.

Cheaper than buying the GW handles which I only have one small one and also the larger painting handle.

Would you like some ?
