Blog Pinkies Paint log: Terrain for the terrain competition added

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog

Minor update: work is still going well with my guards. I have painted 14 including champ and banner and I'm now doing another 5 including the musician. I'm hoping to be done with them before the end of next week.

That would make me have an army of 27 saurus, 30 templeguards, 30+ skinks, a stegadon, bastiladon, slann and carnosaur all painted.. Oh and also 3 kroxigors

 

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog



So we finally got our dog today. The poor guy puked twice on me on our way back home. It was a rougly 130km long drive so we did expect it. Overall though he's quite happy and have already gotten used to us.

So that's awesome.

About the guards: I was too worn out thursday to paint anymore so I'm a bit behind schedule - I do, however, only need to paint 11 models so I'm nearly 2/3 through my unit. I might get some more paint on them tomorrow, but otherwise I'm guessing that I'll be done with them before the end of next week

 

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog

Hmm.., Maybe you wrote in my old thread? I have one in the "painting and converting" forum, but I decided to start over in the actual PLOG subforum.

To get the yellow part I simply just painted several layers of Flash Gitz Yellow so no magic there. ^^

I should, however, mention that the lenght of painting the yellow on my bastiladon was .. the same lenght of Star Trek: Into Darkness. Painting yellow on purple is hard stuff

And yes, as painters we'll have to be more careful and not sit too long in a row, but that can be hard when you want to finish your models.

 

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog

Mini update:

Templeguards are close to being done. I'm currently in the process of painting 10 models all at once. Tomorrow I'll have to paint eyes, straps, bases and a few minor things I forgot.

Unfortunately I STILL have a single model left after that. Just one. He haven't even got his scales painted yet so he's a bit behind, but 29/30 done tomorrow is still very good.

After this I'm probably going to paint some characters (finish up slann and carno dude) along with some skink priests. Just some easy single model stuff to take me far away from the saurus unit..

I will, however, have to focus in exam though, which is also why I find characters to be great because just finishing one is great where as only painting say 4 skinks out of 24 is sort of useless.

**EDIT**

Oh my friend and I are having a 1500pts mini tourny the 14 of June. Should be great fun. We're only 4 friends in total, but still. All of them have 2-3 armies to it's going to be great.

 

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog










Slann is still not finished. I'll try and have him done one of the days.

Overall though I'm quite happy with the result. They look sexeh. Unfortunately I've also made quite a few mistakes on them, but on the board nobody will notice that and that's fine with me. It's also a learning process afterall.

I really like how the red and green works as a contrast to each other. It really makes the shield pop out and be noticed.

I bought some DE knights today. Conversion is on its way

 

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog: Templeguards done!

Pictures tomorrow, I promise

 

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog: Templeguards done!

First a comparison:




I've used the additional head from the Carnosaur kits to make my scar vets. The BSB uses the thingy from the carnosaur and the other one uses leg plates as shoulder plates to look more armoured. Both have templeguard halbards to be used at great weapons. The Champion has an axe and the oldblood uses the spear from the carno kit - again used as great weapon (lol).







I've only managed to spray them so far, all models can be taken off and have been sprayed seperately (rider/mount).

Here's the BSB and the matching CO:






Despite the gigantic size of the OB I'm really loving the model. So much anger and bad-assery:



While the horn from the dark elfs would've probably have been great as well I'm sort of/kinda hoping to use it with my skinks. It's not uncommon for me to field at least one cohort unit of the little buggers. Anyway I think I did alright with the skull, at least they look hilarious:



Champion:



SV:



So when they all are together it looks sort of messy due to all the different weapons. I'll probably have to do 10 more to have a completely finished unit. Unfortunatetly though I don't have any more oldblood characters from the carno kit. Unless.. Unless I take off the one from my carno and somehow magnetize him to one O:

I'll have to consider that.

I haven't begun to paint them yet due to exam.

 

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog: Templeguards done!

oh ffs, you can right click - view image. Why aren't they showing? :/

I used photobucket.

**edit**

some odd glitch with photobucket. I had to do it another way than I usually do. Sort of annoying, but it worked. Pictures are showing

 

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog: Dark elf COs conversion in pro

I can take a proper picture next time. Personally I think he fits alright after I made a new saddle. He is BIG though. Like really big, compared to the regular saurus.. and the mount itself.

It's alright though, different opinions and what not so I'm not bothered at all

I am, however, still stuck. Exam is close (the coming wednesday so soon o: ) so that's what I've been busy with. In fact I've regressed since my BSB broke into 3 pieces and my friend unfortunately dropped another one on the floor some time ago so that needs glue too.

._.

 

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog: Dark elf COs conversion in pro

So Uhm.. Im not near a computer for the next 5 weeks so no pictures. :/

The COR bus project have been temporarily stopped. Not for long though, but I usually paint what I'm in the mood for so currently it's my terradons. Im soon done though and then I'll continue with the death squad. Hopefully I got a good bunch of pictures for you in 5 week time.

 

Re: Pinktaco's pink paintlog: Dark elf COs conversion in pro

OBs will be as my carno character and the scar vets will be like my regular saurus/guards. The skin of the mounts will be pale like the carno skin, the scales will be red. So basically similar to to the carno.
