Painting Table #9 2017

This past week I got a decent amount done but not a lot. I finished off the barriers. Then I based and started to block in the colors for my MERC keizai waza. I decided to go with a non traditional scheme to make them more interesting.

More as I get it done.

Painting Table #8 2017

This post has been a bit delayed. Mainly because I have been painting and trying new things and every time I thought about writing a post I did the "after I finish this part" thing.

First, I painted the last of my frostgrave stuff, then I decided to do all the bases on all the stuff I painted recently. I tried the GW texture paint mourn mountain snow and see why many people are disappointed with it. I think it might be great for terrain were you can do small clumps of snow on ledges and stuff but for bases even if you really pile it on it still looks a bit weird.

Then, while touching up the minis, I accidentally put way to much paint on the pallet. But it was the right color for finishing off this stuff so I broke it out. I am now somewhere around 75% done them. I mainly need to do the black and then clean up some mistakes and they will be done.

But that's not all. It's not really painting table but it is model related. I broke out my copy of MERCS Recon: assassination protocol and gave it a spin. Since it was my first game I was a bit confused during it but still had a lot of fun. I had printed off other factions boards so I could play my texico or ISS. I played the ISS. I know I made a lot of mistakes in terms of threat and I think I messed up the breach and clear I was doing. Unfortunately my oldest came in and scattered a bunch of the bits all over in a tantrum so I couldn't finish. But I will definitely be trying it again. I think I may paint up the other models for that soon as well.

More as I get it done.

Painting Table #23 2016

Sorry for the long gap but weather and life have been in the way. I managed to construct and painted 11 treasure tokens, a cauldron from the Lich knickstarter and a random scatter piece I haven't decide what to do with yet.

Next up, will be a mass of female characters for frostgrave/mordheim. Looking forward to finishing all  these off and then working on my spacemarines.

Painting Table #22 2016

A good week. A lot of changes to the blog organization to streamline it some and a lot of pictures taken to start updating sections.

On the painting front. I finished off 4 more models. 1 was a straggler for the warband I had made. The other 3 are goblin hero's for things in the future. I also finished off the 4 planters. Then I also painted a test model for all the books for treasure tokens.

  

That is all for this week. Going to continue working on random models and taking pictures. Then I am going to work on space marines I think.

Painting Table # 21 2016

This update is a huge one after my absence. I managed to rebuild my computer this past week so I can actually post again without all the problems. I had been doing it on one phone no problem but then that one was lost. The next phone never really worked right and was finally smashed by my youngest when my wife tried to take it. My newest phone I haven't tried but it at least takes pictures. I also had a vacation mixed in which was all kid focused due to it being summer vacation. I should now be able to resume a more normal schedule.

First off, I painted and sealed up these four walls for use in many games.

Then, I did all 20 of the frostgrave cultists models and a wizard and apprentice.

I also painted this lizard type model that I think I will use as a wizard or apprentice beast master.

Following up on that I painted this building I found sitting around.

Finally, I made a bunch of books of different sizes and a few scrolls to use for treasure tokens.

I am looking forward to getting back on track since I have really missed this aspect of the hobby. My next project is a few goblin characters from Mantic to use in frostgrave/mordheim and a bunch more of the heroins in sensible shoes kickstarter minis.

Anyway more as I get it done.

Painting Table #20 2016

This past week saw me paint and flock the hills. Then do a huge varnish spree on all the terrain. I also made some planters and walls. Learned that 3mm plasticard is a huge pain to cut. Finally, I also started base coating the frostgrave stuff on the desk. More as I get it done.

Painting Table #19 2016

Hello everyone. My computer is well and truly dead this time so you will have to bear with me on this format for now.

This week I finished of chompy and worked on varnishing terrain. I also started working on my first tree and made 3 hills.
. 

My epic stuff is available at 450usd minus the emperor Titan. Hoping to put it towards a new rig.

Painting Table #18 2016

Not sure if you will be able to see this since I'm posting from a new phone since the old phone and computer died.

This week I finished off the 5 buildings, rock wall and fountain you saw last week. Then I flocked them all. I also managed some priming before the weather turned. Got about half the built models done. This week I have been painting a frost wraith, 4 dogs/wolves and the dreamer with Lord chompy. Everything but chompy are done. Attached are a few photos, sorry for the overall quality of this post.

 

 

Finally I spent 30$ getting the last of the needed stuff for my sisters warband.

More as I can.

Painting Table #7 2016

This week was great for progress but then again major holidays sometimes help me get more hobby time. I finished off the building I had been working on and 20 skelies.

So that is 21 finished models. Next up I want to finish off the pan O stuff and then try and find time to set stuff up and take pictures for different tabs.

Painting Table #6 2016

First off lets start with spending. I spent another $ 24 buying supplies.

I also finished off 3 cats for Frostgrave and 2 more walkways.

The projects for this week and maybe next are skelies and hopefully Pan O starter from box.
Also here is a picture of my oldest trying to teach his friend the first game I taught him with terrain he made.

More as I get is done

Painting Table #5 2016

This week saw a flurry of activity but very little finished, mainly due to running out of paint. At that point I started up on another 2 projects.

This is all the undead and what I plan on being snow leopards based.

I also started getting my Pan O ready.

The 3 walkways I finished and then the unfinished stuff. I have just enough paint left to fix the edges on the other 2 catwalks. The building however I will not have enough paint for at the moment. The catwalks just need the blue green and touch up done.

So since I was running out of paint I didn't finish all I wanted. But hopefully I can finish off a little more and keep the momentum going with the other models.

that brings the total for the year to 18 models.

I also spent another $50 on getting a kickstarter. More on that later.

Painting Table #4 2016

Lots of progress on stuff this week. First off is 8 more guys for Frostgrave/Mordheim.

Then I did the yellow and and on a bunch of terrain. I also primed all my sons tyranid ships.

So expect terrain for the next few weeks probably. 

I also spent $9 on some paint and airbrush cleaner.

So making progress but not as fast as I would like due to new job.

More as I get it done.

Painting Table #1 2016

Since the oldest is on vacation we did a little painting and a lot of terrain making this week. We primed and based his tank and my BFG SM.

Then we started making terrain for Frostgrave and such. In fact we built so much the only scenario specific terrain we are missing is two houses, a fountain and some ladder/bridge deals.

 So the next couple of weeks will probably be taken up dealing with all of this. More as I get it done.

Painting Table #54 2015

Today will be the final painting table for the year. I finished off the pond and last hill/island.

In other news me and the oldest played another cruiser clash type thing in DW. He ended up winning after scoring two rounds of shooting were he dealt 3 critical hits to each ship. I forgot how useless my ships are in range band one and how nasty his are.

That is two more finished pieces. Side not I also updated the tab for models painted this year, check it out if your curious. More in the new year.

Painting Table #53 2015

I know it has been a long time. Honestly I haven't posted mainly because I have been playing video games and looking for work. Instead of posting. So what have I done.
First let us talk about what I forgot to photograph. The nomad bases. I finished them. Pictures when I get around to it.
Now for the fun stuff. I have been making and painting islands/hills and a rock outcrop. Working on the bridge and my oldest son and I have been building a tank from leftovers and getting it ready to paint. The final thing that my oldest and I have been working on is a pond.

I still have 1 more island/hill to finish up that I have mostly done. The plan for the next week or so is to do that and the pond along with more details on the bridge. I will also be making more specific plans for next year. So that's 4 more pieces of terrain finished.
