Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

[Mad_Jack]

I had to break out the superglue for a couple of them. They're resins, not tins, and the postal service wasn't very gentle with the box.

Edit - You can't really make out the last because of the reflected light, but it's Greymung with his throne and a base.

Ooh, shiny...

I largely defeated my own personal grey tide by suffering long-term unemployment and selling most of it off to cover bills...

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only Friendship.

When possible, use leftovers for practice. I have some leftover Imperial Knight parts, and thought I’d test out a theme for my Chaos Knights. I’m going for a cosmic horror look. This is a proof of concept, but I’ll tweak it.

Nice - I like the galaxy look when it comes out really well...

I've been trying to find a mini with a robe and cloak that both have a lot of deep folds, so that I could do the galaxy look in all the shadows, yet paint the highlight parts as regular cloth, so that it looks like the figure has outer space inside them. Sort of like with this image I modified years ago (all the spaces used to be just black*)...

And yes, it was just as much of a <bleep> drawing all those stars in by hand as you imagine it was, lol.

One of my goals is to tidy up my work area. This is my airbrush station and believe it not it's not as cluttered as it was a few weeks ago. In the upper right, you might notice some Tyranids which have been sitting there since 2000, there are some Space Marines in Terminator armor in the lower right, I posted photos of a few of them the other week, but there are about twenty Age of Sigmar Stormcast Eternals that used to be on this table but have been completed now. Once I finish all the loose miniatures here, I'll clean this spot up good and get all my airbrush paints better organized.

Miniature Market is having a sale right now, and the new version of Hero Quest is $100. I held strong and didn't purchase anything. I might regret it in the future, but gotta fight the grey a bit.

The fight continues. I can’t even remember what boxed set these are from. But I’m closer to a complete army for Age of Sigmar.

Made some progress this week...

I'm going to run a Fallout campaign so I pivoted my painting efforts towards the upcoming game. Those of you in your 30s and 40s might remember Frank Horrigan from Fallout 2. This is Mr. Horrigan from the Fallout: Wasteland Warfare table top skirmish game. Now that he's finished, I'm thinking about adding some more weathering, but I'm at that point where I'm afraid I might ruin the work I've already put in. Best to sleep on it and reconsider in the morning.
