Almost done with the goblin archers

Anyway, interview went well today, now some more goblins!


Bows painted!! I used foundation Calthan Brown, gonna highlight with bubonic brown.




Then I decided to not be lazy, and painted the belts. Those will be inked to hide the over painting.



Next, the arrows & pouches get snake skin leather, the arrows will get bubonic brown highlights.

But first, gonna watch the end of the us open playoff.

Oh silly night goblins

Well I started doing up the night goblin archers today, and at the end of the day I have 20 night goblin archers sprayed black, and skin green'd. Got em all mounted





Sprayed chaos black after I took all the mold lines off





Lined those suckers up so I could assembly line paint them




And 3 hours later (I was distracted) I had 21 night goblins green skin'd and ready for their bows to be painted, after which I'll go back and tough everything up with chaos black again, then ink.

Well, access to funds has started

And with the access to funds, money is being spent. So Justin ordered the battle for skull pass, I have night goblins, 84 +3 to paint (minus 1 as of posting, since I'm posting to show the first NG fanatic I painted). Anyway, it took a little over an hour and a half, but I have one night goblin painted.



Glued!


Gesso'd! Because it was 83 degrees out at 2 in the morning with 80% humidity, I had to gesso rather than prime.


Finish Painting! Now I just have to read how to highlight, practice once, and highlight this little guy. Oh, and I want to paint his wristbands black, I painted them brown accidentally (because I didn't know any better).

Just putting together a few more assualt troops

With the rule changes coming and rumors they're changing the minis, I wanted to make sure I had at least 1 full squad of assault troops that looked the same. Drilling out plasmas tho has given me some questions, so tell me what you think of the wide bore please?







Oh, and I enjoyed some nice golfing yesterday, I'd like to title the first pic "ooooo sexy".

spring jam day

So yesterday, friday, I came home at 1:30pm, because I dropped the class I had at 2pm, I failed a midterm in, so I withdrew from it. Anyway, my girlfriend had work from 5-10 yesterday, so I decided, hey, my dad is home, lets go buy some death squad guys, and build them. So I go to the games workshop dealer in woodbridge mall, they have none. So I stand there, "how much do I want to spend, ooo this is nice." So I walked out of there 81.50$ poorer, but well stocked on glue, green stuff, those clippers that GW makes cause I really needed a pair and couldn't find a good equivalent anywhere else, and an attack bike squadron. Super fun happy time! (started drinking about half hour ago, finishing this now, mmm Navan cognac).

Paragraph return:
Anyway, point of this is, posting pics from ben folds and pics of my latest bikes, 1 ready for paint so far.

School is the biggest Hoover© I know...

So yeah, school (6 classes worth of college) is sucking the time right out of my day. I should be doing some Process Modeling right about now, but since I instead wanted to search for jobs last night (another very important thing that will make me either happy or sad in the future) I am not even done with my History readings yet.

Anyway, last night I did find time to glue my LeMartes to his base, and filed him down a little more. I figure I'll get the main body done by the end of May (along with several other tac marines, maybe even my assualt vet sgt) and then figure out what I want to do with adding some "Death Mask" features to him, along with his left shoulder pad, which I'm probably going to steal the design from someone on the Bolter and the Chainsword Blood Angels forum.

Anyway, time to go read history, lay out what I need for process modeling, and enjoy the rest of my day!

Oh, and good news, I finally finished that one assualt troop u see below, he looks pretty damn good.

One week later

So I started class again, so that means less time for painting... OR DOES IT!!!

No, it does, so I finally finished that assault troop, took forever, cause I didn't know what exactly I wanted. Anyway here are the pics
