Stuffed Fables - Dark Hearts Part 2

 I forgot to post the finished result. I'm the least happy with these minions for the game thus far, but was a good learning experience on what not to do next time.

Stuffed Fables - Dark Hearts

 I don't know... pretty easy. I tried my hand at wet-blending a bit around the face. Tried to blend a grey-blue into the dark teal.

This is just after all the washes.

Stuffed Fables - Crawlies

 I've been going at these guys for a couple of days. It was really in the ugly phase for a white... if you understand what I mean. I guess it all came together. I'm not too happy with the bases... the problem in the game is that the location changes so much that there really isn't a base scheme that would fit (from carpet to a junkyard to a town, etc.). I'll go with just black for now until later in the game I notice something that captures it perfectly.

Stuffed Fables - Priming

 My daughter and I have started playing a game called Stuffed Fables from Plaid Hat Games. It's an okay game... it's cute. I started priming up the models to paint tonight. They seem quite simple so hopefully they go quick.

The bosses

All zenithal primed

Blitz Bowl - Killanelfia Eagles Part 5

 And.... we're done (well, pretty much). I got the basing done tonight except for painting some white lines on the turf and did the transfers. It sucks that the core box doesn't come with transfers... they're in the pics on the box... I have been using the dwarf ones. 

I probably won't post a pic with the lines done, so I'll leave the evidence off here.

Blitz Bowl - Killanelfia Eagles Part 4

 I just got all the highlighting done. I actually like highlighting the white this go around. Since I used a zenithal prime up, when I painted a really thinned down base colour in all the colours, it auto-highlighted for the most part so that saved a lot of time. Only one helmet had to be redone better.

I just have to do the transfers and basing and we're done!

Blitz Bowl - Killanelfia Eagles Part 3

 Got all the base colours and all the washes done. Just highlighting and basing to go!

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!
