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

Product Review: “The Masters” Brush Cleaner and Preserver

https://www.thecombatcompany.com/General-Pencil-The-Masters-Brush-Cleaner-Preserver-2.5oz-70.9grams I wouldn’t normally do this but this product has simply gone beyond my expectations and has completely changed my hobbying. I am not the most well organised person, despite any appearance that this regularly updated blog give. As a result, my tools often suffer, wet palettes aren’t kept moist, paint lids dont close properly

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:

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

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

Hearthguard Berzerkers – Getting Started

Another quick post today, this is a project that I completed a test model for a couple of months ago but have yet to start completely: This is another army that I do not normally get but I essentially got the models for nothing after buying “Fury of the Deep” for my Idoneth Deepkin. I

Sisters of Slaughter – Mostly Done

Just a quick update today, the Sisters of Slaughter and the High Gladiatrix are essentially done now, I just need to finish off the bases. I’m thinking going for a sandy base much like the old gladiatorial colosseums. Here are a few highlights from the set: I’m thinking about picking up some of the AK

Sisters of Slaughter – Base Coats and Shades

Just a quick update today. I felt a bit inspired after the paint session yesterday so I carried that momentum forward and painted up the rest of the Sisters of Slaughter and the High Gladiatrix.
