Trying to get a hobby streak going but just painting brown on top of green isn’t the most exciting thing to do 😅

I was planning on giving up with my bretonnians but I can’t bring myself to do that, I’m going to finish my WingerKorps and Kruleboyz then I’ll let myself agonize over how I should paint them.

Blender progress, working on my settings orcs and a kayazy inspired warjack chasis for my winterkorp

I’m behind on a ton of projects but it got me thinking; Turnip 28 and Trench crusade are absolutely amazing for incentivizing creativity in your armies, but turnip 28 is far more freeing of the two since you can go either full horror or goofy critter while TC is always grimdark.

todays #wip is an oak brown base coat for everything that will later be brass, red, or steel. I love the new winter korps since they have that perfect sweet spot of detail! #tabletop #miniaturepainting

Not the calmest music to paint to but I’m pumped up

Drybrushed everything with army green, going to start on the cloth and harder to reach details and build up to the armor plates.

Saving my reference images for when I paint up my Heretic legion inspired Winter Korps, the verdigris is going to be really fun and the runes on my casters gear are going to look great in a vibrant red!

Today’s #wip a layer of grim black on all my Khador for Warmachine and the first prints are getting a wash and cure!

First print for the year, let’s hope this printer works! #3dprinting

I’m not one for painting “official” color schemes but I’ll give an exception to OPR, I was reading the lore and I fell in love with these two and their going to be a fun challenge for me since white is where I struggle. #painting #tabletop #onepagerules

So One Page Rules has full alphabets in their lore books and I love this! The old codexes in warhammer had these and they add so much flavor to the setting, plus I can write funny stuff on my minis and keep it lore accurate!

All coming together, the yellow did exactly what I needed it to do! #miniaturepainting #tabletop #paintingwarhammer

Todays progress, finished the white and silver on the #bretonnia knights next up with the first wash; I had too much silver on my pallet so I put some on my #Orgoth for #warmachine there’s a painting competition by steamforged games so I’m hoping going to focus on them more.

QRT your growth 2016 to 2025

Todays progress, I was debating pride colors for all the knights but I felt that’d be disrespectful since I wanted to make them all evil; Instead I’m going with the basic red yellow and blue. I tried the diamond pattern and it definitely was worth the effort but I’m using it sparingly.

Halfway there, I’m trying to do one hour everyday before work. This is a great way for me to destress and I love how it’s coming out so far! #paintingwarhammer #warhammeroldworld #tabletop #bretonnia

Starting with white and I’ll finish with red, I’m giving myself plenty of room to continuously clean up the lines as I go. #tabletop #paintingwarhammer #warhammeroldworld

Getting started on my bretonnian knights for #warhammeroldworld after cathay was announced I decided to paint the knights in their basic color schemes so I can sell them easier, I’m planning on a very personalized Kislev when they get shown off next year! (Hopefully)

So I was dumb and busted my printer, it served me well and I know if I had a better set up the LK5 pro would have served for a lot longer, I got this printer with the sole intention of wargame terrain and vehicles and it has served me well; Now it’ll become terrain!

Paper crimper prototype test 1 is a fail, holes didn’t print in the gears so I’m going to check the original blend file and see what needs to be scaled

Yes my custom bits for 40k that escalated to custom bodies for warjacks and now and entire game in the works that gets delayed from designing my own tools

Finished my Duke on Pegasus for #warhammeroldworld and he is 100% totally not a vampire with a cursed sword. #paintingwarhamer #tabletop #minipainting

Really far into this and I realize I should have done the freehand a few steps ago, guess he’s not getting checkers on the fabric

I’m finally getting started with painting my warmachine mk4 winter korps, I was planning on doing a trench crusade inspired color scheme with red hats and green coats but now that we have the gravediggers I can’t decide who should be heretic and new antioch!

The wash dried from last night and it looks so freaking good!

Update, I’m definitely going to get this done before the competition. Also why wouldn’t I go for the classic green rimmed base! #paintingwarhammer

I spent quite a lot of time on this today but I am very proud with how far it’s come, next up is iconography followed by turning all the white yellow! #paintingwarhammer #warhammeroldworld #tabletop

We have a gaudy paintscheme competition at my flgs and I had just the model waiting for some exaggerated colors!

And they’re done, two strike teams for Urban War. Viridians and their Colonial Marines versus Syntha and the Androsynths. I decided to give the mud a blue wash to show how the planet Klyklops is being slowly altered by the Koralon invasion, I think I’ll add some nasty growths in the future.

I don’t have my normal photo set up so the lighting is a bit off, I’m extremely happy with how my Syntha turned out for Urban war. #tabletop #miniaturepainting

Just need to let the basing material dry then I can finish the rims, I’m really happy with how these turned out!

Now I just need to make the armored heads and I’m done!

Almost halfway there, Getting the angles on the neck joints right and I'm making the augmentics look swollen and improperly installed. I’m going to do 3 heads with pdf helmets after I get the 9 unhelmeted.

12 variants using the same 3 heads, I’ve seen less variety in gw kits so I think this’ll be more than enough

Finally made a custom head for my mechanicus Genestealer cultists, my entire reason for learning blender was to make these and I got way too distracted. I really love how a single custom bit can completely change a models profile so I can’t wait to make and print more!

Working on the printer and need to wait a couple days to get the parts I need. Painting wise I’m struggling with non-metalic metals on my Syntha but after letting the first two dry I’m really happy with how it’s turned out!

If anyone in the detroit area is looking for some good music I recommend this crew!
