🔥VICTÒRIA SINDICAL A ACRYLICOS VALLEJO! Després de 26 dies de lluita i vaga, els treballadors i treballadores de Vallejo han aconseguit una victòria històrica! ✊Un orgull per la CGT: SENSE CONFLICTE NO HI HA VICTÒRIES!

Hobbystreak day 5 - 'Done' - First finished Knights Panther, v. Pleased with it and rediscovered techniques. Unsure if I push on with more or switch over to my KotWW (😲) - Next Tournament 18 Jan - 1 month to go, need to make a list with new rules and make sure I've got the models painted for it...

Hobbystreak day 4 - 99% - just the basing to finish on this guy (unless I find something I missed or it gets pointed out in the comments!). Played around with the camera a bit, will take better pictures of the fully finished model soon. Happy with outcome, glad I put time in on this chap.

Yo! You like Empire!?? Wanna know what's in the new Arcane Journal?? Exclusive Christmas review is here youtu.be/gCHWE7OdqsA Retweet for Sigmar

Hobbystreak day 3 - Knight Panther - blue glaze, cloak on test model - silver stripe, black, white & metal highlights to go! Then I stayed up late to watch the Empire AJ review from #squarebased show. ❤️‍🔥 To @sixdiceskills.bsky.social and Val for the early Christmas present: youtu.be/gCHWE7OdqsA?...

Lovely looking gold

Hobbystreak day 2 - back at it - spent some time on highlighting horse and the blue today - definitely need some tidy ups via adding some more midtone to the blue areas where I went a bit too chunky, and to apply some silver bits along the edge of the barding also. Almost finished the 'test' knight!

Reposting this leaked image - great model - another I'm keen to add to the collection. Feels like Empire are getting spoiled with new kits! 3 mages, foot hero, mounted hero, new engineer 🎉

Hobbystreak day 1 - back on the wagon - had a couple of days off painting/gaming, was still writing lists, talking about the hobby and setting up my laser engraver for making MDF bases and movement trays. Had a game last night, Empire Vs Chaos with a win for my cav focused list! More painting soon!

Hobbystreak day 35 - almost - almost there on one model, did straps, cloth, hooves, teeth, parchment, face and eyes plus deep shade on blue and horse, home stretch soon!

Hobbystreak day 34 - 4-0 - no painting today as life got in the way, but I did complete the last of my games in the SBOT2 UK regionals and won all my games (14-6, 18-2, 20-0, 19-1) 💪. So here's a shout-out to the MVP of the 7 games total I played in SBOT2, and a PSA - leave a 2" gap to the edge! 🤣

Hobbystreak day 33 - bits n bobs - put a bit more time into the knights, got remaining horses basecoated and did skin base and shade - I'm down to straps, cloth, feathers and hooves (I think) and everything will be the right colour, just onto making it look good then. Fair few hrs into these so far

Hobbystreak day 32 - short session - tired after a long week and fancied a bit of a break from concentrating so just slapped a bit of guilliman flesh and snakebite leather contrast onto skin and, hair and clothes to bring some of my artillery crew and engineers a step closer to tabletop ready

Hobbystreak day 31 - sending it - basecoated a horse and some parchment, then had fun going to town on my test cloak. Highlighted fur, practiced blending on the skin then just went for it on spots, happy with how it turned out - think avoided making it look goofy 😊 #oldworld

Hobbystreak day 30 - big leaps fwd - started eating my greens and painting horses but quickly went straight for cloaks. Tricky piece to not make look goofy, laid down the base and some shade, starting to work up before adding markings. C&C welcome!

Hobbystreak day 29.5 - gold! - couldn't wait to brighten up the gold so did a 50/59 mix of glistening gold and copper

Hobbystreak day 29 - lunchtime painting - inspired to paint along with @sixdiceskills.bsky.social painting stream, may get back to some more this evening, got the blue base down on the champion and did a second coat across the unit. Getting there, it's exciting, really looking forward to next steps

Hobbystreak day 28 - more blue - trucking along painting more Abyss blue on my Knights Panther, really enjoying the process and seeing them start to come together. One and a bit down before a late bedtime. Looking forward to completing this stage and moving onto the next (horses?)

Can't wait to add this absolute unit to my Empire collection... And if the forces of Talabecland are coming with him, I'd better rebase some of these retro boys for a club game!

Parade rest banner, yay or nay? It is an excuse to try and send it with some freehand... 🤔🤔🤔

Hobbystreak day 27 - progress 🎉 - managed to get quite a bit done this evening and back to blocking in Abyss blue again after painting gold and washing all the metallics. Happy with gold helmets instead of yellow (will be highlighted up to gold). Unsure of yellow on shields and colours for cloak atm
