The Cupboard of Aging

That's where models go to "rest", while I consider all the decisions that led to their current status. 

If you are a model, it's probably not where you want to be. Its the Toy Story, box under the bed kind of thing. 

I don't plan for it to happen but sometimes you just run out of steam. This is one of those times.  We had a good run at it, then the light blue came out, then I decided I didn't want to deal with it.  

The cool thing about aging miniatures, is that like a good wine, they won't go bad, and when you're ready to enjoy them they'll be there. 

While painting minis is kinda like 3D coloring, it takes passion and excitement for cool things to happen. So always paint the figure that excites you the most. 

It's instant gratification, even in the initial stages of color blocking.

Have fun and don't sweat the small stuff.

Greebo Games WIP

Got out the good camera for a Nutzerker, high res. WIP.

Im not convinced that red is the right armor color. 

I'm quite sure its not popping enough. Maybe I'll try the black and white photo and see what it tells me.

Nutzerker

Today we did some priming and started painting "Nutzerker", the rabid squirrel.

He's apparently a star player. With strength 1 and dauntless, he's probably as likely to end up in the infirmary as cause any real damage. 

With that in mind he'd be a fine addition to my Snotling team. In an attempt to push the rabid theme, I'm using fluorescent green for the foam coming out of his mouth. Delicious. 


Cheers,

More Blood Bowl

We're getting closer to paint!

That's a good thing when you have a plan. Golden demons? Probably be the only ones I ever own, so maybe. But I really want the humans to be unhealthy, so bluish undertones. 

I'm quite sure that these will not be red.

And these will not be overly gold, but the metallics will be real. 

Then the cultist, they need to look as Mad Max AF.  So that's the plan.  It's still a bit loose, to say the least. 


Cheers,
