Play me a tune

The last figures I painted for the unit were the command minis.  Let's get to the Music Man himself... the Pied Piper of Averland.  Is it Chet Baker?

Of course, just as doing the SE-NMM becomes such a routine part of daily life... it is time to set all that aside.  Well, at least chrome.  The Sisters project has a gold/brass version of that technique, which has a whole different set of parameters!

Again, I must emphasize that I probably never used the same jars of paint on any two or three guys.  Kept it simple... sky blue, and off white, and some sort of brown color.

Keeping the essential colors so simple makes your life a lot easier when you are doing a mass project like this chock full of shiny metal!!!

Closer and closer...

Well, the command staff is painted (posts coming over the weekend) and all that remains is to paint the movement tray that I made today.  Then there will be some really fun pictures!!

One last parting shot, as I deal with a squiggly sword.

No more of these!  Yea!  Fortunately, getting everybody to rank up was not quite as hard as I anticipated.

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 :-)
