WIP not Wednesday

This week has been devoted to finally finishing the Space Hulk miniatures as well as getting the Myth figures all cleaned and ready for paint. Minus a few clean ups and the final coat of spray, the Space Hulk figures are done.

These pics are of the last few Tyranids that need completion. They need a few things finished like the orange lines on the red armor and the black lines on the purity seals. Before I call it finished, each figure will get a final look over to clean up any issues that I find. 

Besides these and the Myth figures, I have two Space Marine Chaplains and two Reaper figures that I am working on. I should have some pictures of everything for Saturday.

Till next time!

All the WIP

The post today is definitely all WIP stuff. I am still working on Tyranids and getting the Space Hulk box done, but I've also added another project to the table. 

I have two Shadows of Brimstone games that have a ton of miniatures that go with them. These minis are made from a decent plastic and the details on them are pretty good for being from a table top game. I believe these games were from a Kickstarter. Currently, I have all the player minis, the tentacle monsters, the two large guys, and several smaller things all put together and based.

Here is a pic of all that I have cleaned and based so far. There are so many more minis to go and like 4 more of the spider things which are a pain to clean. I'm pretty picky when it comes to mold lines so things have to be as clean as I can get them. 

Here is a close up of several player miniatures and a few of the tentacles.

Here is another close up of some more player minis and the two big guys in the back. The big guys were pretty fun to put together, but they have some serious gap issues.

In this close up, there is a ton of spaces that need to be filled in and before I put them on a base, I'm going to have to fill those with green stuff. I know it's just for a table top game, but they still have to look nice. I also think that with all the similar minis that I might try the airbrush for all the major base colors and shading.

And lastly, more work on Tyranids! I have these guys with a few layers of blue and there is a little robot thing and a chalice. More work to come!

Till next time!

For this weeks main update, I have a few more Tyranids and some WIP shots of a few Reaper miniatures.

This guy is for a table top game and is going to be a quick paint. I worked mainly on the base color overall and the face and hair.

This little fairy was a test scheme for some Warhammer Fantasy Ogres. I was trying to go for a frostbit look, but this turned out more undead than I wanted.

Quick update today and more to come.

Till next time!

Last Blood Angel and Some Tyranids!

This week is more of the same as I am still trying to get more done on the Space Hulk figures.

Here is the last of the red Blood Angel guys. He has a Tyranid head so I wanted to wait till I was working on the rest of the Tyranids to finish him.

This Tyranid is mostly done except for the Blood Angel helmet and some scriptures, the name of which escapes me at this time.

All of these minis need to get a layer of Dulcotte to seal the paint, but this will be done when I have a few more to make it worth the entire spray.

Till next time!

Finished Minis, but still WIP!

This week was all about the Space Hulk minis. I was trying to get them done before Friday, but because of some things that have happened, I can take a little more time on them. As of right now, I have all but one of the Blood Angels completed and one is almost done. As for the Tyranids, I have one completely done, 4 are finished with all the major work, and 18 still need several major steps. 

The only things I have going for me are that the Tyranid bases are almost all done, minus Blood Angel parts, and the first layer of the dark blue is done. After that, it gets easier and quicker with every step.

First up is the Blood Angel that I finished this earlier this week. He would have been done last week, except I still had the power sword to finish on him. I did a simple blue gradient and some touches of metal.

The other finished miniature is this awesome Tyranid. I followed the same step by step instructions from Tale of Painters blog. The longest part is, of course, the blue carapace with three layers of blues over the black base. After that are the two layers of purple, the layer of light pink, and the purple wash over all the purple areas. The last steps are super easy and consist of the tongue, teeth and claws, and the eyes. 

For Saturday, I should have the last Blood Angel finished, at least 4 more Tyranids finished, several more to the wash stage, and a test figure for a new color scheme. I'm going to be painting some Warhammer Fantasy Ogres coming up here soon and I want to do a winter scheme on them. The biggest thing that I want to make sure to get right is the skin. Some pale dusky skin with some purple red touches and maybe some frostbit areas. I've got a reaper mini sitting in front of me right now that will serve as the test.

Till next time!
