Projects for the week of 23/5/22

Next week is going to be insanely busy for me. I have two major assignments due and an Age of Sigmar tournament to attend. I’ve also been asked to attend a Flesh and Blood event on Thursday night. The assignments are mostly done aside from the contextual work that needs to accompany them and whatever

Arena of Shades: Nighthaunt Completed!

DONE! Another 20 models all finished up. No more ghosts on my to do list. Here is the final gallery for this series:

Warcry: First Impressions

And just like that I have two games of Warcy under my belt! I was very impressed by how simple the ruleset is and yet it feels like there is a lot going on. Also it was nice to fit two games into the time it would normally take to play a game of Age

Daughters of Khaine – Warband

So I did the thing I promised myself I wouldn’t do and started a quick new project before putting the finishing touches on my Nighthaunt. Don’t worry though, they are still on my table and I will post the final photos soon. Instead, the deadline for having my Daughters of Khaine Warband ready for battle

Battle Report: Kruleboyz vs. Bonereapers

I played a matched play game of Age of Sigmar last night against a player that was having their first game. I really enjoy teaching Age of Sigmar to people and helping them explore another aspect of the hobby. Like me, my opponent started painting miniatures during lockdown as a new hobby to pass the

Arena of Shades Nighthaunt – Wash and Base

Another day and more progress on the Nighthaunt. Now they are looking close to done. As an added bonus I managed to get quick bases done so they look even more complete: So what’s left? I just need to highlight the cloaks, bones and a few other things and pick out some detail. Just a

Arena of Shades Nighthaunt – The Ugly Phase

Oh god, what have I done?! Maybe twenty models was too much at once but this session has been an absolute SLOG. Here is where I am at: As painful as this has been there is a highlight, I kind of love how these two models from the Craventhrone Guard look. Almost like they are

Arena of Shades Nighthaunt – Day One

I began batch painting the Nighthaunt today. I got through the Corax white, Nighhaunt Gloom, Ghost Grey and Rhinox Hide stages for all 20 before calling it a night. Steady progress, tomorrow I’ll probably start on the metallics and other colors. Hopefully I can get the shade on but I expect that might be pushing

Learning to use a Lightbox

The $10 lightbox I ordered arrived today and it’s about what I expected. It seems like it will do a decent job of lighting up a few minis at a time and cropping away the sides of the box in shots seems to be easy enough. Here is a small gallery of some work in

Arena of Shades Nighthaunt – Starting the Rest

OK, it’s about time I actually knocked a project completely off the list. Meet the next challenge: Over the next few nights I plan on painting the rest of the Arena of Shades set. The easiest way for me to do this I just to batch paint one color at a time. Because my theme
