Re: 2016 Painting Challange
OK, I've changed the thread title again to make it essentially open-ended.
I've been modelling an unorthodox unit of Bloodletters, aiming to finish by the end of May, then post a pre-painting shot up with a few comments. June will be for painting!

Re: 2016 Painting Challange
Haha. I hope to finish the mordheim range shadow warriors plus a couple other random things in June. Then I will be taking a few months off. Hopefully I"ll be back at it strong in October.

Re: 2016 Painting Challange
I'm taking a hiatus from my warhammer figures (both 40K and fantasy). Been assembling a late war Soviet force for Flames of War and painting up Zombicide figures, slowly. This last week has seen me actually apply paint to 6 more zombies, so that's good. I've also assembled a platoon of T34/85s.

Re: 2016 Painting Challange
Headed back to Switzerland for work for a few months and my wife is getting a kidney transplant while we are there. I figure I'll use the free time I have left to play in the mountains and practice my german. I'll probably take a warband or two and a couple bloodbowl teams just in case I want to get some games in. Beyond that the only hobby work I'll do is take some pictures for insperation.

All the best to your family Shannar!
Alith Anar and Teclis were my pledge for April but I couldn't make it on time. Last evening I finished AA, Teclis will be done tonight.

Re: 2016 Painting Challange
Bloodletters
The basic models are 5th edition Bestigor, inspired by the 6th edition Bloodletters, here:
The main man is an old 3rd edition Jes Goodwin Chaos Champion, while the musician is a Blood Bowl Beastman, with a High Elf horn! The standard bearer is a converted Chaos Sorcerer, I cut off his knife and gave it to the musician. The flag itself is from the 6th edition Grave Guard. It all sounds a bit rarefied but those were the bits I needed to get a coherant unit.
Myth, I can't make your pictures out, I'm only seeing 'image'.

Re: 2016 Painting Challange
@Shannar; as SA says, good luck with the surgery for your wife. I hope things go OK with her. If you do end up with some inspiration pictures, feel free to share them. Inspiration is always good.
Small update on my part. The dragon rider is done. All that's left to do now is paint up the base (which has already started). Not going to post any WiP pictures of the rider. I like keeping it to myself until the model is done

No, still not working for me. Clicked on the 'image' bit and got a 'not found'. I've tried on both Android and iOS, could it be a mobile thing? Can you other guys see the pics?Myth wrote:Now?

It showed up the other day. Telcis. It's gone now though.
Re: 2016 Painting Challange
Guys, it seems that google photos doesn't allow direct URLs anymore, so I assume pictures are visible only when my account on google is active.
I'll try upload pics from Photobucket, it should be working...please let me know if it is visible.

This guy was a Blood Bowl player! Left hand replaced with one holding a knife. The horn is from the 3rd edition elf range in the 80's.

Re: 2016 Painting Challange
Just sat down to paint for the first time in over 3 months. It's hard.
Re: 2016 Painting Challange
I'm starting to get the painting urge quite strong...
...things I'd like to get started on:
[*]dragon (bought part painted, but would like to get more on it)
[*]fire pheonix (basic - bought assembled, would like to use it in games)
[*]fire pheonix (kit bashed - really wanna finish this conversion)
[*]repairs - so many of my models have suffered from moving house, poor quality move boxes for travel to club, etc, and need some TLC
[*]sea guard...I use them in T9A now, and have loads from IoB, and they're much nicer models than the semi-painted spears which I currently use instead on account of them being 'painted', so would love to get a unit of these bad boys on the table and painted by my own fair hand...

Currently I'm finishing 9 shadow warriors (6th edt models).
In the queue for this year:

They are almost over, just a few details remained (pictures are from first stage of painting).

Re: 2016 Painting Challange
They look nice. I'm wondering if they could use an extra highlight or spot-color somewhere. Now, when viewed from the front, no details pop out. Of course, the difficulty there is that since they're Grey Watchers they're supposed to be shadowy...
