Pics or it never happened. It won't happen. Nick will be finishing them as he deploys. |

Let's just say I'm going to be sticking strictly to the 3 color minimum, and that "I haven't started yet"

Also forgot I need painted gants to pop out of the tervigon, so make it 60 instead of 30. finally got everything in the house unpacked, so this week is going to be an absolute WHIRLWIND of painting - here's whats in front of me for Adepticon:  WOOF. Wish me luck gentlemen, see you on the other side. |

Actually shocked at how much got done last night - the 10 grey models are now based/primed, and every model has sand on its base (and about 50% of them have that sand painted already!).
Today I'm finishing the hive tyrant on the left (just needs final highlights on the carapace, and a purple base + wash on his wings), the 5 warriors (dark angels green, snot green, scorpion green edge highlights on the carapace), and *ideally* doing the skin on everything else. In lieu of the usual base, layer, wash, layer, highlight...I'm giving 'em the ol' dry brush + lighter dry brush. Because in the end, who cares right?

2nd Tyrant is finished! And the bases are now painted on every model (I just need to find my dead static grass...its in a box somewhere from the move, hopefully).   And the two big daddies together:  I wasn't able to get the skin on everything painted, or the carapace finished on the warriors (I forgot I gave them adrenal glands in my list, so I need to dig up 5 glands and glue them on before doing the carapace). But! I did get the skin on the dima and the exocrine finished, which is great. Tonights goal is to get the skin on everything drybrushed (all 72 little guys...yikes). If I can do that, it means wednesday and thursday night are relatively easy - as long as I can get the BASE green on the carapaces, they are "finished" for the purposes of 3 colors up. From there, I can focus on highlighting as many of the little dudes as possible, but its not a necessity, so I can breathe a little easier. I'm also spraying the display board tonight, and picking up a poster frame from walgreens to make it more "official" feeling. That will be an easy couple of drybrushes (using leftover house paint! I knew it would come in handy!) and we'll call it done. |

Lots of progress made last night, but the only thing that got 100% finished was the tervigon - its been painted for the better part of 2 years, but didn't have a base. Now it does.
The dima and the exocrine have the skin finished already, and so do 30% of the gants and all 24 hormagaunts. Tonight's goal is to finish the skin on the other 70% of gants, and get the carapace on the dima and exocrine, and the warriors, finished. If I can do that, then thursday night's task is simply to churn through as many of the green layers (3 in total) as possible on the 60 gants and 12 remaining hormagaunts.

Today is going to be a rough one, but I must prevail! Dima/Exocrine are done, warriors are done...now I just have to paint 72 infantry. In one night.
No problem.
