Previewing the batch steps for thr girls. Got there, a. It fried from being sprayed over but I feel like if I were to strip them first itd be the same results. Much more enjoyable to paint and a very striking style for them. Loads of fun and excited for the next batch.

Took a bit of a break from painting. The crusade has been somewhat of a miss, we're reworking the plans with 11th Ed that came out. Which im so sad chaos knights are pretty garbage. But im thinking about bringing out the girls. Of which this tank takes longer than some flagship for other armies.
Forgot to post this lovely lady. She sat for a whil3 as I tried to figure out how to do iridescent beetle shell colors. Theres a few translucent opslescent paints that work real well but you need like 6 thin layers. Super fun but time consuming. Loved how it came out. Might do some grass on the base
Orks have been a lot of fun to binge. I'll be doing the first unit of boys and bobs and grots soon so we'll have to see how the actual battle lines feel to paint. Otherwise im having a blast. Snakebitez rule
Been on a binge. Ive gotta be careful with orks. So.many bibs and bobs that id love to individually pick out but by godess', I already took damn near 15 hours on this thing as is. I fear for the boys squads.
Started a crusade at the local shop playing knights. Been playing home defense as anyone tries to take the home planet. Running them through the trash compactor with the knights. Been since 9th for them to be on board, feels nice.
Some more miscellaneous models that I had done a while back. Trying to get into the groove again, thinking about redoing my sisters some more and really get some units going to get me excited. Thinking of naming them Order of The Opulent Blade since I really enjoy the melee sisters.
Decided I couldnt leave him without a checker pattern. Based him up and ill have to decide how to fully base down the road. Thinking deserts. But anywho been on the move and I think im finally in the groove as ive settled irl problems. Sometimes just getting comfortable helps eith creativity
Getting an influx of orks from a close friend of mine. Decided that if I was ending up with orks id paint big Gaz himself. Making them snakebites.
Less purple than id thought to put on it. But still such a striking piece to paint. Feeling myself get more of a groove going so hopefully I can keep it going
Fixing up and old knight, playing with brass more this time around and darkening up that turquoise green. Got the skorpeks finally as well, theyre pretty in that hot red. Imposing. Trying to stay habitual will painting, but life finds ways to stop that sometimes. Feels overwhelming
Just taking some time with the robot boys. Gonna get 6 skorpeks done and then maybe take a break on bots for some bugs or something. I got some brain bugs I know im going to use that could use some paint.
Not a lot of motivation to get things done. I feel like I need the pressure of an coming gsme to get myself in gear. Oh well, I have a set of skorpeks and 15 immo4tals amd then I think im going to try and get some termagaunts painted so my nids stop looking like a Grey tide.
Hes only been sitting fooooor. What, 3 months? I procrastinated working on him for a while but by god. All that trim. Was originally.going to be Thousand Sons. But then I started my work on the necrons...then it kinda just felt lost in progress. It's how it be sometimes. Eventually decided Emps kids
They've been sitting on my desk for a while now. I thinknthey turned out pretty striking. Have been having issues as always with how much of what colors to do on the elven armors. I think I like the subdued pink against the sheen compared to the footsoldiers.
I think this is the third time ive painted these folk. Love em to death but dear lord am I terrible about being consistent with their armor.
I speak for the trees, and the trees are fucking pissed. Just fiddling away at some bigger models when I get the urge. Need to start doing more batch painting to get through the backlog but life is life. Been busy with lots of annoying stuff
Finished up the wraiths....minus the basing like the first one. My mud effects solidified into a brick so im SOL until I get a new thing of it. Still, on a toll with necrons, might use this juice to finally get a amidg3 of drukhari done for once.
Finally finished up a project ive been waffling on for a while. Slowly going to be rodding my cobalt necrons to cherry red. Cause God forbid I have a finished project, but anywho! I find him much more striking now
i've been doing this in discord for weeks because i think it's silly and people keep asking me why i'm hitting them with the potable water react, so here's the explanation for all the girlies.
Fixed up my old world eaters stalker. Did some red layering and changed the gold trim to a brass trim to discern it from my word bearers war dog. Im pretty happy. Might do some detailing eventually but I like it more than before. Thwlerefor a success
i think if a man who made me call him daddy nutted in me and said "i'm proud of you, son" that might fix me
My desktop experience has never been happier than it has been with my little Goomy friend watching what I do with that dopey face of his, you did such a wonderful job on these JD! Go grab your own today!

Lil kitbash lad to get down any idea for a dark mechanicum army in the future. He started in a pink robe funnily enough. I may still go back to pink for troops or the like im not sure.
Plampt. I love fall.colors and im really happy with how the dryish wood looks. I wanted purple coloration but it just didn't pop as well as the green. Oh well, love how quick it is too. Might go back for the bugs way down the line when everything else is painted.
Hey it's been a bit again, whi would've guessed the big sad kicks your ass. Anyways, managed to pluck at a rhino that's been sitting for months. Think im nailing my new sister's colors, just needs a ministorum name haha
I realize I use a metric button load of red in my painting....as I swap my necrons to red. Anywho, sisters I think I'll slowly phase to purple and gold. Feels more indulgently gaudy
Slowly getting the robot boys up to new code. First triarch, pretty odd assembly and his chassis is upside down if you look real closely. But such a striking look!
