It's Da Coach!


The coach being led off the field by a frisky batch of Nurglings!


Lots of color transitions to worry about with this piece.  Mixing greens with yellows, blues, reds... you name it, all in the effort to get that variety.  Sometimes across just one of the little guys. :-)


There will be a few more group shot sets of the types of figures (such as command staff, etc.) and then I will try to figure out how to shoot images of all 31 minis!


Make a wish! This will hurt just a bit...


It's Thanksgiving in Slime Bay, and it's time to see who gets the bigger end of the wishbone!


Once again, those tricksy Nurglings are at it!!

Girl's knight out


Here we go!  Some images of the latest batch!


With all the preparations for the Adpeticon Sisters mostly complete, you will be seeing many more of these lasses.  Just in a whole new color scheme!


I really love making the marble theme bases for them, since it allows me to get in some extra freehand.  There is not so much room for it on the figures themselves.


It's also fun to see them as a group like this.


It lets me see how all those elements blend together to create a whole effect, such as the bases.


I hope that you also enjoy these kinds of images!


So, stay tuned you Sisters fans!


Dinner time!


Sometimes you just gotta have a snack.  This means that Elf Pudding is on the menu!


These little guys have quite an appetite.  There are quiet a few of them, which means lots of color transitions.  Working with greens, tans, pinks, and combinations of all together.


I have a few more stands of these on the way!

Same figure, different colors


As you know, I have painted Reaper's Yvonne many times over the years.  I don't think I have ever painted it in this scheme, which made it even more fun!

It was a blast to play around with balancing warmer and cooler reds across the various surfaces.

Contrasting them with the much cooler metal colors was also fun.


After working on the previous Dragon Knight, I could not resist tossing in a touch of freehand :-)


She is also here:


Yes, it's me again.


The unit winds down with the last few non-command figures.


Thankfully, this is the last of the squiggly swords!!  Yea!


Soon I will make some posts with images of the movement tray.

Got you in my sights!


One more Sister for you!


As I mentioned before, the storm bolter versions are a bit more fun.  It lets me incorporate more blues into the gray mix, and even some purpleish gray.


That balances out the warmer grays of the cloaks.
