Painting Day

 After feeling rough the last few days I was supposed to be going to work today, but as I have to do a Covid test before shift and it came up positive I find I have a few days off on my hands.

So after lunch I felt better and decided to make a start on some painting. 

I started with the second rider, focusing on the beard. 

At the same time I was painting the second of the Junker Girls from We Print Miniatures, this one was painted how the youngest had asked for, as the first was supposed to be for her. Bad dad moments... 

She'd asked for Arcane Jinx, which I'm nearly there on, but the light has been terrible today.

I'd completely forgotten about the gunner not having a head so pushed everything else and went back later to sort out the head.

Finished the quad bike off, I just need to paint both the pintle mounted options and can call this done. 

The current strength of Ricci "Cinders" Sharp's Company, of House Cinderjack. 

That's the best light we had today. 

 

Last in the round about why I'm doing this is the Judge from We Print Miniatures again, this is a replacement /alternative for my Enforcers, it's too dark now to paint, unless I put the big light on and that will exacerbate my headache, so I'm leaving that for tomorrow.

After getting everything to the stage at the end of the last post I've been ill and this weekend has just gotten worse, even taking a sick day yesterday.

Yesterday I was able to get the 1000 credits of Orlocks, but it means I have to buy the Wreckers box. 

Quad Bike Finished

 A day off was had yesterday and I got the first of the Orlock Quad bikes finished in a nice dark angel green. 

When I finished this one I took the lessons learned and started painting number 2 on the sprue so I could get all the frame work painted. 

Still several steps to go, but the wheels are magnetised and the gunners mount is push fit so that can be removed for storage. 

I got the gunner glued together and the rider is in two parts and the last thing I did before leaving for a 49 hour shift was get some agrax earthshade on the Martian Iron Crust I'd put on the bases last thing last night. 

Thursday the plan is sleeping and getting a bit drunk, fingers crossed. 

Quad Bike and Gunner

 The magnets arrived yesterday, and I got them attached to the wheels and some of the 3x0.5 on the axel hubs to join the to the bike.

The gunner was mounted on magnets as well as I glued this pillar in place and had cut it off so I could reach the back of the rider.

Hoping to get some paint on this Sunday /Monday.

Deathwing Knights

 I got my box of Terminators down to put the recently finished squad away and while it was out I got my squad of Deathwing Knights out to try a photography with the temporary set up, I also went in to the photo shop  and ordered a 12x5 aluminium plate which will come next week.

Not too sure if I'm going to get all the Lion's Blades out to photo in front of it. 

Orlock Quad Bike

 This morning before work, I started the Orlock Quad bike from the Ash Waste box. The cross arm over the shock absorbers was difficult to work out, and with the size of the headlight I can see a few of those going flying when being made. 

I finish at 10am Tuesday and hoping to get some work done on this when I get home. 

Watcher In The Dark

 Day off on the 12th, bills paid, shopping for work, booked tickets for a film on Saturday and cooked a big meal for tea. Around that I painted the Watcher that came in the Deathwing Terminators box, I used the Aethoian Camoshade wash in the same process I've used the Greenshade wash on other minis.

In the background is something I've been meaning to do for a while now, I got a photo printed off at a shop to use as a back drop for the mini photos.

Tweeked the Contrast, Brightness, Saturation and Shadows to get a more apocalyptic picture.

Added a couple of the play mats that came with Conquest /Imperium

To add a better base for photos over the coffee table/ pallet.

I am going to raid the copper jar and go back and buy a 12x5 inch version that's printed on an aluminium plate, to avoid distortion.
