Edit: woohooo! 1200 posts!

 

Nice work @JTSleep , those little goobers at the end are hilarious, and well painted!

 

Thank you

Modelers club today!
Yesterday, I puttied all the Bolt Action ruins and just finished gluing ground on bases. Just a couple of days behind my december goal


I still have about two hours, so I'll be priming epic warpath.

 

Two hours of brush priming and podcast listening resulting in 30 bases primed. What a bliss.

 

Good progress!

 

Unit of Stage 2A - Leapers is done


Also first models of 2026! Yay!

 

Yay! A great start to the year!

 

Another unit done. Stage 3A - HMG unit

 

They're so tiny. Awesome looking little guys.

 

It is both blessing and the curse.

 

They must be pretty hard to paint, being so small and all.

 

I have plenty of experience painting 15mm Flames of War minis. I was a bit intimidated by Epic Warpath being 10mm scale, but they are heroic 10mm and Plague faction also has everything kinda mutated with extra muscles, so they are bigger than normal soldiers. All of this combined means, they are same size as 15mm.
It will be fun to paint forge fathers afterwards, because they are not muscle buffed and also dwarfs.

As for difficulty of painting, I leave most of heavy lifting to preshading. Since I make shadows beforehand, I don't need to be as precise with a brush.

And for you personally, as someone who picked bloodbowl team with the tiniest minis, I have a photo here

 

Some more preshading and priming done.


I managed to broke arm from walker there

 

How long does it take to paint them as compared to traditional 28mm scale models?

OMG that is so funny, the Snotlings look huge in comparison!

 

Last printbeds with corrections cleaned and cured. For now, I have everything I want for Plague. Only thing missing is Hornet gunship variants, but I'll wait with those.

 

I would say that single base with 3-4 models take roughly the same time as single 28mm mini.

It is not that huge And there are also some big creatures in Plague army that are size of a skink

 

I couldn't just look at all those Forge Fathers without thinking about colour scheme, so I painted one unit of tanks to test it out



Also, everything Plague is cleaned, glued and on base with ground texture.

Also, old phone gave up after almost 5 years. Pictures should now show much more imperfections.

 

Bolt action ruins felt weird having dirt floor, so I made some flooring from XPS.
