It also looks like the rest of the Adeptus Ineptus and I are going to be heading down to PA for an Epic day on 3/12. I might need to take a week or two tangent to get a couple of things a bit more seemly for the Worst Army List ever games.


cool, didn't realise the date had been fixed - looks like I can make it too :) Now I just have to butter up the wife and get painting!

Didn't you get the e-mail? You know, the one where I harassed Chris for the enjoyment of others?

The Hormagaunts progress. I finished the black wash and managed to highlight 16/36 stands Monday. I should be able to finish the highlights, touch up the black and finish the bases on Monday (hooray for days off!).

Image

I'm going to bring my airbrush with me as well to see if I can base-coat a bunch of stuff red. Up next will be some Warriors and 'stealers after a quick Necron and perhaps a terrain tangent.

Lookin' good, Dave. Of course, the painting crowd at the LGS deserves most of the credit because we provide valuable "encouragement." Where would you be without my "wow, that blows," or "pretty good, for a blind chimp" comments? Or, for that matter, all those 28mm gamers saying "that's REALLY small - how do you paint that?"? They also came up with the army's new name: Hivefleet Fire Ant. :D

A bit of a late update, but the Hormagaunts are done. In addition, I turned my whole 'nid army red last Monday with a little help from my airbrush. No more base coating for me.

Image

I ended up finishing the bases over the weekend and then started the Warriors yesterday. More pictures of those Friday.

Image

I also based and washed these guys over the weekend too. Their skeletal buddies also got a a bunch of washing and dry-brushing.

Image

I figured I'd take them down to PA with me on the 12th maybe for the Worst Army List Ever competition.

Continuing on with the Necrons for the Worst Army List Ever I managed to wash, drybrush and base my retinues and their upgrades. I don't think I'll do too much more work on them before next weekend but at least at this point their decent enough for the table.

Image

Beyond what's pictured I want to do some Wraiths at somepoint, but that'll be it for the retinues.

Image

I also finished the black detailing, base base-coat and the wash on 16 Warriors. The wash came out a little messier than on the Hormagaunts and Termagants, I'm thinking it's because the Warriors are a little bigger. I'll probably have to go back and touch up the red.

Image

Beyond that, I just need to highlight the black and finish the bases and they'll be all set.

I finished the 16 stands of Warriors this week. I was worried the bases wouldn't match the Termagants and Hormagaunts as they got the spray treatment and the gravel looked red-tinged after the basecoat. The drybrush took care of that though so all is well in Tyranid land.

Image

Up next are the Genestealers and a quick jaunt into... (dramatic pause) 28mm land!

sorry Dave, but [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYrR6Lukxt8&NR=1&feature=fvwp"]this[/url] is way better

as for the Warrior wash, yep, they look crap. I'd start again if I were you.

just wait until you see the mastery of my amazing trophy model....
