Another Picture-less Update

Heyo!
Just thought I'd fill y'all in on what I've been up to recently. Minus pictures because I'm a lazy wench.
The Ghost Arc is nearing completion; Pilot and repairing passengers are the last big hurdle.
Painted up my Rapier Laser Destroyer. The actual weapon platform that is. No crew painted as of yet.
Oh! I finally found a way to make that Necron Overlord stand out a bit more from the rank-and-file warriors. Painted on a silver rim to the shoulder plates, and redid the resurrection orb. Really pleased I can still do what I did on the shoulders. The Orb was a sheer fluke. Was pretty much dicking about with ideas and something happened that looks cool. Can't really explain it without a picture. Guess I need to be proactive.

TAAAAANNNK

HERLY K;HJSHDBNFUJKJP!
It's almost done!
Remind me to never ever paint a Ghost Ark ever again.
Because it sucks.
A lot.
Cool model though.
But then I just want to get back to painting squats. Also considering painting some fantasy dwarves to go alongside the three or four limited edition ones I've already got. Yes. I would consider painting an entire army of the stubby wee things just to compliment three or four single models. Crazy? Yes.Also that Dwarf Command Set on forgeworld is mighty awesome.
So the current list of priorities is as follows:

  1. Ghost Ark
  2. Tomb Stalker
  3. Nuln Oil 2x Immortal
  4. Make the Overlord look better.
  5. White Dwarf Gyrocopter Pilot
  6. Death Guard Army continuation - maybe another tac squad or something.
  7. Tau Titan
  8. Other Limited edition models I have. (White Dwarf 30th Anniversary, 'Drunk' Bugman)
  9. Squats

Leaving the best 'til last. Well... Sorta.

What we've got.

Heyo!

I said pictures were coming, and this time I plan to deliver!


Here we have the necrons in their current state. Not much left to go with them! Still need to make the overlord look... better.
 Now next up we have a shot of the wonderful Dwarf Daemon slayer. Still unfinished sadly. Though the axe  is just needed a last bit of gold. and the gold on the dwarf just needs a highlight of silver to tone down the ink.


Now last of I've got a few pictures of the wonderful HQ choice for the squat army. Quite an old paint job, though i had to repaint about half of it as a lot of paint had been chipped off in various moves around the country. Also rebased him, because the 25mm slotta-base just wasn't doing it for me. Super pleased with the result too.
 Squat space packs; Powered by Booze.

That's all for now dear friends.
Happy painting.

Arrrgh. Good Morning.

Hey guys and gals.
Or rather.. Hello one person out there who reads this!
Aaanyway, it's been a while since my last post. Over a month. Holy shit. Whoops.
Sorry about that, been super busy from changing jobs, taking on an internship at the same time, flying lessons, managing a youtube channel (which has taken a back seat too atm) and occasionally painting a little bit.
Oh, and also being generally awesome. Bwahaha egotism.

So back to the topic at hand; Painting!

In terms of the Necrons, I painted 20 scarabs, which is to say five bases of the cute little suckers.
Done a bit more on the tank as well. I'd say the Ghost Ark is around 50% completed at the moment. Gerdern me and making up a paint scheme as I go, takes so much deliberating. Never do this kiddies! Plan things in advance!

In terms of my own projects, the HQ choice for the Squat army has been restored and re-based. And Dayum it looks good. Really couldn't be more chuffed by how it's turned out. Also started on one of my Exo-Armour Squats. Orange jump-suit is done, going to start on the armour tonight. Yes. Orange. Jump Suits. WE'RE OLD SCHOOL MUTHA TRUCKA. Ahem.

For the Death Guard; they're currently on hold as the Squats are just too much fun to paint and have distracted me completely.

Another little side project I've been working on is that Dwarf Daemon Slayer. Almost finished now. Just an axe, and last highlight on and gold left to do. I'll maybe even finish it tonight!

Heck, we might even get some pictures of these models later on. Wouldn't that be something?

Morbie out.

Oh! not yet actually. Fun fact: Morbie is making Pax Prime plans. This one I get notice for, unlike my 2 week warning for E3
