Hobby Goals - March

-





(Red items were completed this month, purple items completed in previous months)

← February                                                                                                April →

At the start of March, I still had the Aeldari ground defences, four Imperial Valkyries and the Tau ground target unpainted. I started the month by painting up some more of my Aeronautica Imperialis miniatures. The first two miniatures I painted were the Aeldari ground defences. These were then eventually followed with the four Imperial Valkyries. During the month, I also bought and built two Grot Bommers, which will become a project for April. 





In between painting up my little planes, I finished off my Warhammer Underworlds warband, Thundrik's Profiteers. It was nice to finish this warband, but I do not want to paint anymore Kharadon Overlords (for now). Completing this warband allowed me to cross-off another hobby goal for the year 'Paint a Warhammer Underworlds warband'.



After painting up the Valkyries, I decided I wanted to paint some terrain pieces for playing low altitude games of Aeronautica Imperialis. Additionally, I have been trying with the idea of getting some Adeptus Titanicus Titans, these will be a bit of a nostalgia trip. So, I started painting up the civic buildings. I have always enjoyed painting terrain, and these little building were really good fun to paint. I even made a little painting guide 'How I paint Adeptus Titanicus - Buildings'. By painting these buildings, I was able to cross-off a second hobby goal 'Paint a terrain piece'. 


While painting the terrain, I was watching an Agents of Sigmar video for Marvel Crisis Protocol, which made me want to paint up another hero. I decided to paint up Hawkeye. I like painting the MCP miniatures because I can finish a whole figure in a couple of hours. No extra hobby goal completed here but he does give me another option for my current teams.


Towards the end of the month, my painting has slowed down a little. This is because work has been getting in the way, but also, I have been building miniatures. I have also been experimenting with a few paint schemes for a couple of upcoming projects. This month, I bought 16 miniatures and I managed to paint 14. I will have to get back to reducing my 'pile of shame' in April.

How I paint - Gloomspite Gitz- Squigs

-
Image
When collecting Gloomspite Gitz it quickly becomes apparent that at some point you are going to paint squigs. This is my take on a classic red squig. Paints required: Wraithbone spray Khorne Red Army Painter Red Tone Averland Sunset Wazdakka Red Squig Orange Lahmian Medium Reikland Fleshwash Screamer Pink Pink Horror Pallid Wych Flesh Zandri Dust Agrax Earthshade Xereus Purple Genestealer Purple Yriel Yellow Druchii Violet .  Kantor Blue Thousand Sons Blue Ahriman Blue Temple Guard Blue . The miniatures were primed with Wraithbone spray. The scheme works over black, but you must build a nice sold layer of red at the start. This was then followed by a basecoat of Khorne Red . I thinned the Khorne Red with a little water. It took a few coats to get a nice solid finish. The miniature was then given a wash with Army Painter Red Tone thinned with a little water. The eyes were painted in with Averland Sunset .  To highlight the flesh, I began with Wazdakka Red . This was then foll...

How I Paint - Skaven - Clan Eshin

As I continue to work through the various Warhammer Underworlds warbands, I finally reached Skittershank's Clawpack. The Clawpack are a group of Clan Eshin Skaven. I decided to paint them in classic scheme of brown fur and black robes. Here is my guide.  More of my  How to paint... articles  can be found here. Undercoats The miniature was undercoated with Chaos Black spray . I then gave the whole miniature a basecoat of Mournfang Brown thinned, with water. Once the basecoat was dry, I gave the fur a very light drybrush with Karak Stone .  This may look a little harsh but the washes will fix this in a later stage. Basecoats The next main step, was to block in all the basecoats on the miniature. I began with the flesh on the nose, ears, hands and feet. This was painted with a 1:1 mix of Bugman's Glow and Cadian Fleshtone . I made sure to feather the edges between the fur and flesh on the hands and feet. The eyes were painted in with Mephiston Red.  The tail was p...

How I paint Rockgut Troggoth

-
Image
When I began painting my Rockgut Troggoths (Stone Trolls), I wanted them to look as though a flesh and blood creature had started to petrify. Most of the stone terrain in my collection is grey with a greenish tinge. This was the colour I wanted to replicate on my trolls. As I was painting my trolls, I made a note of the colours I used but I did not take any pictures, as I never intended to make a guide. After I had finished painting these miniatures, I decided to write up the method, in case I needed it again. Then, I thought I might as well share it. Paints required. Chaos Black spray Mechanicum Standard Grey spray Skavenblight Dinge Dawnstone Lahmian Medium  Athonian Camoshade Agrax Earthshade Administratum Grey Bugmans Glow  Rakarth Flesh Screamer Pink Cadian Fleshtone Stormvermin Fur Kislev Flesh Karak Stone Xereus Purple Mephiston Red Painting flesh of the Troggoth I began by given the miniature an undercoat with  Chaos   Black spray.  This w...
