This Waaagh! is officially put on hold until further notice. I need to sort some things out. Hopefully it won't take too long before I'm back painting.

Reinforcements.

Gobbos.

Weekend well spent. This Waaagh! is picking up some steam.

Nice! He looks great. He could come out of a Games-Workshop catalogue, looking like htat. Beautiful work Antelano. Like something right out of White Dwarf. I don't know about that, but thanks. I am in fact quite happy with him myself. You'll probably enjoy my latest work. Hope to have some pics up ...

The Waaagh! growing ever so slightly...

Can't believe I haven't painted anything since March. Guess life just happened. That changes today! I present the only round bases allowed.



We'll see when I get back to some more elves. Right now I'm really into green.

Amazing, what's your recipe for the goblin skin here if you don't mind? Elysian Green>Black Wash>Elysian Green>Ogryn Camo Did a green wash at first which did make the skin pop a bit more. But went with a black in the end for more defined shadows. ...goblins don't deserve to look this nice! I know m...

First greenskins painted. And thus my Waaagh! was born.

I agree, really like the dragon's colour. Be great to see a full unit of these.

The sea and the dragon really look the same colour in photos. But they're not.

So... I have barely done anything since last time. Been too tired to paint. Dunno what's going on there. So when I finally painted some I kinda rushed the standard bearer just to get them done. And it shows. Might touch him up. Or not. We'll see. And I've bought more models. Of course. All O&G. ...

It's a very different army from HE painting wise. How I justify these new armies. Both gonna be lot darker and grimier. Dark colors is just a bliss to work with. It's faster, you get to a decent enough level almost immediately and it's so much easier to hide your mistakes. I'm so pumped. I know I c...

Quick update: Still painting. Working on Sea Guard command. And I couldn't stop myself from picking up some Dwarfs. The Dwarven half of The Battle for Skull Pass to be more precise. Like 6 of them. I've always liked Dwarfs. When I started collecting High Elves it was between them and Dwarfs. I've pa...

And the terrain pieces are lovely. Did you make them yourself? I wish. Got them from Minimonsters.eu. I'm truly on the plastic crack by now. I just buy everything I stumble across. Like this lot below, with the latest terrain piece. They came as a package. Bought them mainly to try and make a Tyrio...

Only took half a year. And some terrain pieces.

So... I have barely done anything since last time. These Reavers really did me in. But I'm hoping to get them done by the weekend. While I haven't painted much, I did acquire some terrain. So that's cool. And I found this insane ad I just have to tell you about. On my lunch break some weeks back I f...

I easily spend 10h per model when I'm fast! I'm stupidly slow.

I now know I hate Ellyrian Reavers. Literally the worst to paint. Just blocked out the colours, which took me like a week. First time I've ever felt somewhat burned out painting. And I've got x3 more to go! Thought I'd take a small break from the elves after this unit. If I can stomach it. Will prob...

I've picked up some bits, bobs and thingamajigs! I should be able to complete 2x Princes, a Noble, and 2x Mages. Well, one is already built but I'm doing some alterations. This is awesome since I didn't have anything resembling characters when I decided to resume this endeavour. Aside from the IoB P...

Wow they look fantastic, nice little headswap on the bolt thrower crewman (crewelf?) and your basing looks brilliant. What do you use for the wee shrubs and flowers? Thanks! I thought I butchered the basing on this perticular lot. But you can't help being overly self-critical, can you? For basing I...

So, I didn't paint as much as I set out to do this month. Got caught up in other things. And I literally lost days of potential painting to mixing paints. Back in the days I used Scorched Brown for my bases. But I've been out for a long time. So I had to make my own. Turned out close enough. And I'm...

Preparing a batch of models for painting that I'm aiming to get done before the month's end. That include Ellyrian Reavers, Sea Guard command group and a Bolt Thrower. And while doing that I found this hidden treasure! Totally forgot the Bolt Throwers came with x10 bases each. These might come in ha...

Man, do Sea Guards take time. Felt like I spent 30h on this single mini. And I'm not even especially happy with it!

Olthannon wrote:Where did you pick that one up out of interest?

Second hand market. I joined a Warhammer Facebook group and put it out there that I'm buying High Elves. Had the dragon within hours.

Just scored a still sealed Dragon, some Shadow Warriors + a handful spare bases. I actually don't have that many models. Outside of IoB I only got some archers and the Skycutter. The backlog of stuff to paint just grew quite a bit, but I felt I had to expand the army some. Was also eyeing up some Wh...

I guess the comeback isn't truly official until you actually paint something. And I did just that. Swung by our mountain cabin during the week for some basic maintenance and brought a paint kit with me. Since I didn't bring a reference model with me, I didn't match all the colors correctly. So I'll ...

Any paint savvy visitors? Not especially but I'll have a go Antelano. Have you considered the green you used on the Skycutter or your light blue? I'm sure I couldn't make either work but maybe you could? Honestly, I hadn't even considered blue. I was so intent on keeping it exclusively on the gems....

Any paint savvy visitors? Gonna swing by and restock some paints later in the week. I'm having a hard time deciding on the colour of the Lothern Sea Guard shields. The dragons, more precisely. I don't feel like keeping them pink (1st pic in thread). Mostly because I'm not 100% happy with the way I d...

Good to see the forum's still kicking to some degree. After 6 years out of the hobby I'm back! AoS just outright killed Warhammer for me. I didn't play anymore at that point. But I couldn't even bother to paint after a while. I mean, they even had to rename all the races. I feel gross just talking a...

Haven't been this productive in a while. Better make use of it!
