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

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. Progress photos below: Things to do: Add shading and highlights to the green, it’s a little flat at the moment

Sister of Slaughter – Paint Test

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to paint today. The weather was nice so I took the opportunity to prime the Nighthaunt and Daughters of Khaine projects currently on my desk. I was leaning towards batch painting a bunch of the Nighthaunt models but while priming I began to have an idea. I had been

Projects: May 2022

I think this might help to get me organised and motivated. Below is a list of hobby projects that I am currently working on followed by a list of future projects that I would like to start on: Stormcast Eternals (finishing touches needed, 6 models) Bloodborne Board Game (about 60% done, all models primed) Slaanesh
