Blog Warden's Other Paint Log

Finished the Necromantic Horrors team!

warden20210318_necromantic horrors_03.jpg

They were a blast to paint and all the minis have so much individual character. Really loved painting orange, and how it looked alongside the greenish details and skin.

The two Zombie bros :walkingdead::walkingdead::

warden20210318_necromantic horrors_04_zombies.jpg

The skin is just a bone-colored paint with a green wash, splotching on a bit of purple wash in random places for skin discoloration.

The Scarecrow, one of my favorites:

The Ghoul:

He was fun to paint, love his spiny back.

The Werewolf, whose head turned out still too shiny after a matte wash :meh::banghead:

warden20210318_necromantic horrors_09_werewolf.jpg

The Ghost, easiest one of the bunch to paint:

And the big monster himself, the Frankenstein!

warden20210318_necromantic horrors_11_frankenstein.jpg

He took the longest to paint, but I had so much fun on the green skin. And putting red/purple washes on his exposed brains :vamp:

Ran out of upload-a-file space, so here are the tokens!

warden20210318_necromantic horrors_16_tokens.jpg

Loved painting that tombstone and the team token with the big, spooky pumpkin face.

Frankenstein and the Frankenball :hurting:

Pumpkinball and the Pumpkin-heads :joyful:

warden20210318_necromantic horrors_15_pumpkin ball and heads.jpg

Hope you like them! They will be a great away-team versus my Lizardmen :D

They look amazing! great colors.
Can't wait to see them on your completed field

Progress on the Van Saar progresses slowly...

Also decided these containers are done, just did a small highlight. Might do more later but they are done enough to toss in a game.

Took some time today to use some red paint to make a gift for my daughter
Formula One, Toddler series:

warden20210326_formula 1.jpg

Sponsored by huggies :joyful:

Of course it is red, because the red ones go fasta :shamefullyembarrased:
 
Nice. Is the guy with the backpack a gnoblar model conversion?

Indeed, both are based on gnoblars and slightly altered to bring them into the 41st millenium with a healthy helping of rockets and a pistol from Necromunda.

Still working those two, and went ahead and finished off my cluster of Ork Mekanik workshop terrain I had lying around.

warden20210328_mek workshop terrain 1.jpg

Nothing special, but it will give me extra clutter for future kill team games. In total I completed 14-ish pieces. The workshop itself now has a magnetized crane and orky-standard.

Good work on the Necro team. Very characterful minis. I'm now contemplating the halflings.
 
Used up the rest of my casting resin last weekend to manufacture some more scatter terrain (still WIP):

Thanks! I am also thinking about the halflings, I love the taco/burger style footballs :D

Also have a current update on the WIP status of the stadium:

warden20210408_stadium WIP mostly done.jpg

All the flock is glued on and has its first coat of paint to lock it into place. For all intents and purposes I could call it done, however the playing field still needs some drybrushing to lighten up the color and make it look less flat. The pitch can easily be played on now though, so I am looking forward to getting in some games at some point!

This is a work of fine art @Warden, my favourite bit is still the advertising! :D
 
Current status of the barrel terrain and the grots; also have my Cawdor gang basecoated/washed:

warden20210406_cawdor gang WIP_02.jpg

They need a decent amount of work still, but I am happy with the progress.

warden20210406_cawdor gang WIP_03.jpg

They are a mix of the cawdor set, Admech bits, and some bodies from Maelstrom's edge lost infantry.

It has been some time since I updated either of my painting logs!

In between moving I got a few games of Kill Team and Necromunda in with my uncle last month, they were fun!

This was probably my favorite Kill Team moment. I was playing my Alien Scum (Imperial Guard list with not enough plasma) and my uncle was running a bunch of Tau stealth suits and drones.

warden202105_kill team 1.jpg

He explained to me how "fly" works prior to the game started, but I didn't understand how it really worked until the second turn when his suits jumped INTO MY LINES!

Needless to say, my alien/guardsmen didn't last much longer! :D

The next few battles were Necromunda, and this time with a black cloth to make it easier to see everything:

warden202105_necromunda 1.jpg

My uncle took his exquisitly painted Escher gangers, while I took my still-to-be-completely-finished Van Saar followed by my Cawdor/Admech in the second match.

warden202105_necromunda 4.jpg
warden202105_necromunda 5.jpg

Can't remember who won the first match, but my Cawdor flame-weapons won the second one for me.

Our last few matches of Kill Team involved a custom-scenario, in which my Adeptus Mechanicus had "shot down" his Tau Commander Battlesuit prior to the mission starting. After the game started, he had to roll the dice each turn and see if his battlesuit "awakened." In the mean time his drones needed to defend their downed commander.

warden202105_kill team bring down the tau 5.jpg

Despite his commander's powerful weapons (he would delete any model he pointed at) I was able to defeat him during both iterations, thanks to my Vanguard's plasma calibers.

All in all they were fun games, can't wait to paint more and play again next time.
 
Next project in the paint queue is some 40k Dark Eldar/Eldar. Plan is to finally make that Il Kaithe Craftworld army I have always had in the back of my head. But my uncle already collects 40K eldar, and I REALLY like Dark Eldar jetbikes... so the plan is to make a "fallen craftworld" army using Dark Eldar and Eldar models, Reaver jetbikes, and Eldar hover-tanks with lots of grisly trophies.
Still messing around with these, but the main three colors will be Green, Purple, and Aqua/blue.

warden202104_eldari paint scheme 1.jpg

warden202104_tank drawing 2.jpg

I got these two tanks a while back for cheap, they will become a Raider transport and a Ravenger tank:

warden202104_cheap tanks.jpg

First ten test Kabalites are done, mix of Eldar and Dark Eldar parts, all with helmets of course.

warden20210605_eldar infantry.jpg

And the jetbikes! Love these guys, so looking forward to painting them but I am even more excited for the tanks:

warden20210605_eldar bikers.jpg

After some customization:

I now have the first raider primed and ready to paint! It is all magnetized up to include the turret and the riders on the side:

warden20210606_tank painting 1.jpg

Here is a snapshot of how the infantry are shaping up so far:

warden20210606_eldar painting 1.jpg
 
I like the idea of this army! I love your sketches :writing::artist:
The conversions are great :wideyed: that Necron is very decorative ;)

I have some Dark Eldar Raider Crew on Sprue lying around. You can have those for your army if you like (just for postage costs)

Grrr, Imrahil

Really cool conversions. Can't wait to see how this Eldar project continues :)
 
Thanks! Happy with how the conversions have turned out so far, but I agree that Necron has seen better days.

A bit more progress, basecoating is done for the 10-man kalabite unit and the transport:

warden20210608_eldar painting 2.jpg

warden20210608_tank painting 2.jpg

Time for some highlights next. Paint was a bit thick for the lighter green, hoping I can fix that too.

I was thinking bone-colored for the weapons and gun pieces, but was concerned they might blend in too much with the skulls. I received the suggestion to make them black instead, maybe with some gold trim, still uncertain as of yet.

Hey I might take you up on that! Send me a PM of what Dark Eldar bits you have lying around so I can take a look, didn't know you collected these guys too!



Cheers all, really looking forward to my Archon conversion from the Fuegan model I have here up next too :D
