Blitz Bowl - Killanelfia Eagles Part 2

 Haven't been motivated in the evenings. During the day, yes, but not a reality to paint during those times.

A little bit of progress before my wife asked me to take my turn with the puppy.

Blitz Bowl - Killanelfia Eagles Part 1

 Well, it's time to take care of the other half of the Blitz Bowl set. I have a backlog of these teams, so best get on it.

I have two human teams, so one will be modelled after the Philadephia Eagles (because of the logo) and I think the other one will be the Atlanta Falcons.

I decided to try out the away uniforms for the Eagles since that's what they wore the last time I saw them play on TV last week (I'm a Seahawks fan in reality, but I'm saving that scheme for the elves team).

I started with black primer, than a 45° zenithal spray of grey primer, followed by a top down of white. This will allow me to have some differentiation in the white (while most of it being grey). That's the theory anyway. I'll brush on the forest green on the pants with a brush.

I'm going with the middle scheme

The zenithal progress

Necron Flayed Ones

 These were super easy... not necessarily quick, but not much thinking involved. I'm not sure if I like the flayed skin... I wasn't sure I should add blood or these guys have had the skins for a while. Since I have little kids, I went with the latter.

After the base colours and washes

A bit of highlighting

Necron Indomintus Overlord Part 2

 Well, it's been a long time since I last painted this guy.  I am out of practise - especially on the edge high-lighting. I just have the sand to dry and then I can dry brush it to finish it all off.

Off-Task - Bunk Beds

 It's been a long, long time since I posted. I wish I could say I've been painting models, but I've had another project on the go... I've been building a bunk bed for my daughters

I'm not a carpenter and I've never done anything like this before, so it's taken me a lot longer than I thought. I think it turned out okay though!

Necron Indomintus Overlord Part 1

 Just as a quick in-between-er, I started this overlord.

I sold off most of my 40k models, but kept enough around for multiple Kill Team armies. I thought that having a different overlord model might work out okay if I could get it for cheap off of eBay.

I've done this scheme so many times, it's just automatic to me now. I just finished blocking in the base colours and I got a wash on. Just highlights to go. Necrons are so fast!

Warpgate Dice Tower Part 2

 I deepened the shadows a bit more and then really pushed the highlights with my Krome airbrush. Then I used Vallejo's Ultramarine as a filter (really water-downed) and softened the highlights to a blue. Then it was the old brush and some DR white on the veins of the warp.

Since it's terrain, I think I'm going to stop here. I glued it all together and I watched a video where a guy glued felt to the bottom so it was softer on the table, so I'll probably do that at some point.

Warpgate Dice Tower

We'll, I've been putting off this one for a while! 

This is a dice tower that you can purchase the STL files to 3D print from Dragon's Gate. I love the support they've been doing for Blackstone Fortress.

I surprisingly got way further than I expected, but that goes to show how powerful an airbrush can be!

Rebel Troopers Part 6

 I have been slowly working on these pretty much every night since the last update, however, the highlights that I have been painstakingly doing are so minute I felt it wasn't even worth taking pics!

Here are the final pictures. We got a freak snowstorm, in October of all times, so I won't be able to put a matte varnish on it until the weather gets better, unfortunately. I'd like to put it in the case where it belongs!

Rebel Troopers Part 5

 With the 2 squads, I have the camo done on both and I have done all the shading on the forest scheme. The camo scheme was not looking good until the wash went on! Trust the process.... 

Rebel Troopers Part 4

 Second squad's base colours done! Going with more of an urban camo style with this group.

Rebel Troopers Part 3

 All the base colours for squad 1 are done (forest camo scheme).

I'm actually enjoying painting these so far. The detail isn't to a GW standard, but I'm a Star Wars nerd and I'm pretty happy with the models thus far.

Rebel Troopers Part 2

 Wow... it's been a long time since I painted. Truth be told, I did do some priming on other projects, but I ran into a snag as I've been waiting for the paint for this project to trickle into my mailbox.

I still don't have all the paints yet, but enough to get started. I am following Sorastro's guide and I'll be doing a forest camo theme for one squad and a city camo theme for the other.
