Package Delivered

 Yep Cthulhu Wars kickstarter finally came in so I guess its time to crack into painting it all!  Storing this behemoth in an easily playable fashion was a top priorty too.

So I bought a shelf (5 bucks on facebook woot!) and filled it with eldritch things.  Got a bunch of fake books to store all the factions in and label them in such a way that no religious solicitors would stay and visit for some reason...

The first faction I had to paint was Bubastis, gotta love some cats!

Windwalker, being the easist paint scheme, came second, really like the models in this one.  Now that I have all the alternate cultists I gotta revist some previously finished factions as well to add the new content.

Couldn't forget the neutral units, Nodens was an amazing model to paint.  So much going on sculpting wise and a lot of fun to experiment on.

The Caco Demon turned out to be a favorite of mine too once I got into it.  Lots of interesting design and thought went into this guy.  Really suggest painting this one up even just for fun!

The Masks of Narlythotep were both quick and fun to paint up.  Not a lot of difficulty to them and hope to finally start getting neutral units on the table next game.

The hound of Tindalos was another easy paint job most of the neutral units I got from Game Steward before the rest of my kickstarter arrived.  Highly recommend them as their shipping is fast and the prices are super reasonable!

I broke out some Vallejo color changing paint on the slimes from Yuggoth.  Really like how greassy and yucky they turned out, pictures don't do these paints justice.

And with the watcher painted I just have a myriad of brain cylindars to paint before we can play Yuggoth map games!

Since it was easy I went ahead and just did all the bases for the glow in the dark great old ones.  Couldn't bring myself to paint over the glowy goodness.

The number one map that I wanted to play was the Library at Celano and I really enjoyed the librarian model in this one.  There's a lot of opportunity and character in this one though those books got a little tedious I have to say.

Last but not least so far I printed and painted up the Midnight Aristocracy fan faction.  This ones is a really interesting faction with a ton of playtesting behind it.  Can't wait to have it hit the table!

Dark Elves and Repaints

 There's plenty of new dark elves to paint up for Warhammer Quest still plus I'm still finishing up touch ups and repaints on the original warriors!

The good old fashioned 90's Cauldron of Blood.  Fun to do such a radically different paint job on this old model.

The bloodwrack Melusai, I have it set into the base in a way it can be taken out to put in the shrine (not yet painted).

Needed a gaggle of Cold One Riders too.  Have to admit the newer ones are so much easier to work with and look way better than the old metal ones I had back in the day.

The Khinerai were 3d prints that had a few issues when I printed them but I just ran with it.  Like the idea of these guys but who keeps naming these things at GW?!

One little beastmaster with happy twirly whips!

Gotta have a dark pegasus for the dungeons as well plus I get to paint a bubblegum pink and teal pegasus!

Found a new model for my warrior priest with a bold red and white scheme to go with it.

This bounty hunter came from MOM miniatures kickstarter that I did long ago.  Lots of fun models from that.

Some quick touchups on the the nurgle chaos warrior.  No one will suspect him in the settlement...

The original Chaos warrior got a nice face lift from my first paint job.

This brewmaster just needed a little more brightness to the scheme to make him more interesting.

It didn't take a lot to add a few highlights to the bretonnian.

Still not entirely happy with this model but She works well as the Chainsaw Warrior.

New Pics New fun!

 Had some fun a while back and never took pics for such a long time.  I also ended up getting very sick but I'm finally on the mend and able to paint/game again!

Painted up the High Rollers from Reaper for a game I'm working on.  

These models are just way too cute and I recommend everyone pick them up when they are in stock again!

Also painted up the various summons for the Kislev Shaman in Warhammer Quest, The bears are big and fluffy

All of these summons and forms are 3d prints, I learned a hard lesson that I need a heater to make successful prints in the winter due to my cold basement.

And last the were wolf and were bear forms plus his wolf summons!

Quest Repaints!

 Not only am I still on the long path of re-basing all of the Warhammer quest minis but also doing touchups and in some cases ful lrepaints of the warriors!

This imperial nobles is one of many MOMminiatures that I've been enjoying as of late.  They have a magnificient variety and quality of sculpts so go check them out!

The Ex-Blood Bowl player got a big face lift compared to what he used to be and still looks a little scared to be down in the dungeon with just his fists.

Just a few touchups really bring out the depth in the Assassin.

Same for the pitfighter making him much brighter and more interesting.

I love this swashbucker and it took me some time to come up with the color scheme I wanted to do.  Hard to stay away from purple that's for sure.

The same old druid now with vibrancy and class.

The ogre's skin originally was really atrocious I'm much happier with him now.

Finally the outlaw received a new sculpt and fits in much better with the outher feathered imperials.

Re-Delving

I've mostly been working on re-basing every single Warhammer quest model that doesn't already have a pretty themed base using 3d printed bases.  This has been tedious and exhausting and I can guess I'm about halfway there?

Taking a break from that I've finished up the dark elf expansion for our custom Warhammer Quest Rules.  This means I have a TON of dark elves to paint as the besetiary is greatly expanded now.  This forced me to finally settle on a theme for my Kings of War Twighligt Kin whenever I can find time to paint those as well:

The sisters of Slaughter are nice models but I can't figure out how you would ever rank them up.  The color scheme was inspired by a pair of shoes I saw once with bright teal, pink and purple and some blacks as well.

Needless to say this is a really fun paint scheme and complements my goody two shoes elves well too.  The melusai were a set of models I had forgoten that I got years ago so it was nice to not have to hunt any down.

In addition to some new WHQ models I started doing touch ups on the old warriors.  These guys were originally painted 10-12 years ago so I've learned a few things since then.

Upgrade the Kislev Shamans to some magical ice weapons!

The wardancer now fits in with my actual elf army.

The elf himself just got a repaint in the origanl art style.

Can't believe I didn't even paint the gems originally on this wizard.

The halfling looks rather sour at his lot in life now but sports a much fancier dress.

Meanwhile...

 I've been working on the slightly boring task of printing and painting up bases for my Warhammer Quest minis.  It's a long road to go but for a break I've been taking pics of some new scenary and glamor shots for the characters to include with our rules revision  These are all going into the various rule books as art since I can't draw or paint in 2D to save my lfie!

Not a lot to say about these just lots of fun little shots and gratuitus abuse of 3d printers!
