D&D - Goliath Barbarian Part 2

 Although I think this doesn't look that nice zoomed in, I think it looks nice from a tabletop distance.

I'm excited to try him out... but I'm also enjoying my gnome monk so not until he dies...



Stuffed Fables - Lumpy Part 2

 Not much to say except the model I've been procrastinating on is complete!

D&D - Goliath Barbarian

 In my first ever D&D campaign, our DM threatened that our characters might not survive the campaign and that we should have a re-roll character ready. I was kind of bummed about that, but looked at some models at a games store. I fell in love with a race called goliath and I took a fighter model intending it to become a barbarian.

I found an orc fantasy axe and swapped it out for his knife. I want my guy to be dual-wielding axes. I also put on some Chaos and Space Wolf bits as well. 


Pre-primer/converted


Zenithal primed


Base colours/washes done


Tyranids - Part 1

 I had a few genestealers and termagaunts in a lot I bought used. I told my 5-year-old that she could have them. Secretly, I wanted them for a basic kill team.

Anyway, I convinced her to help me airbrush. Originally, I wanted to have an orange/blue scheme, but she saw some pics of Hivefleet Kraken and that's the route she wanted to go.

Some in progress pics... I don't expect to finish these for a long time though.



Stuffed Fables - Lumpy Part 1

 Man, I forgot to post this a looooong time ago!

This is one of the main characters, Lumpy, after washes. I tried painting a grey filter over the zenithal highlights I did with the airbrush, but I think I washed it all out. A learning experience I guess...

Stuffed Fables - Mongrels & Snatcher Part 2

 Well, just a bit of aluminium-coloured highlights on the top edges and then worked on the eyes.

My daughter and I have been playing this game and the mongrels kinda of scare her. She wanted more cool colours instead of red, but she did want one to be red.

I really enjoyed these guys - probably my favourite to paint so far. Now, we're onto the heroes and then the bosses.

Stuffed Fables - Mongrels & Snatcher Part 1

 I really enjoyed painting these - I used Vallejo metallics through the airbrush and that saved me oodles of time. I'm not sure if my shading and highlighting worked as well as I had hoped though.

The washes are all done... just some airbrush of the eyes' glowing and base to go. I didn't feel like cleaning up the airbrush again so I called it a night.



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 heroes

Crawlies minions

Dark Heart minions

Mongrel Minions

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.
