Current Point, Just About Finished
It really is just some detail work on the Immortals, some base clean up, and varnish the bots. I don't know why I haven't already finished this.Waking Up and Coming Online
Just about finished.So, I was in charge of this fortnightly miniature meet, and, after finding out how many, many, MANY unfinished projects I had unfinished, I wanted to paint this time. Fortunately, there were an odd number of people, so I painted while everyone else played, with occasional wanders to take photos of games to post into the Facebook group.
On the docket was two units that were almost finished, the starter astronauts and cosmonauts from Lunar; and the second half of my Mephrit Dynasty kill team, the Immortals with the Royal Warden from the 9th edition recruit edition. Mostly this was just throwing a bunch of Army Painter Rough Iron on the weapons, and building up the orange glow. Lava Orange, Mythic Orange, Fire Lizard, and Daemonic Yellow. Took some time, but not too bad, lots of details to hit, like the symbol on the chest.
Had these guys left over and was trying to find someone to give them away to. Accidentally squeezed out some Glitter Green, so used it and a bit of Gemstone to paint them up. They might get repainted, as I found someone to take them, but, eh, less of a hurry now.I broke off part of the cape while assembling, which is why it got trimmed, also, he’s just an Immortal Leader, not an actual Royal Warden, so some visual separation. The last bits to do are to put some binary ‘numbers’ on the bases for ease of use, and then varnish them up. Almost done!
The paint job isn't the greatest, if I'm honest, but, ancient Necrons; they are going to have flakes and cracks, right? It's THEMATIC.Uploading Designation
A last bit of cleanup with some binary numbers on the base, and out under the matt varnish spray can. I threw some gloss on the shoulder tonight, which should give me a nice spot to slide waterslide transfers tomorrow. That'll be a bit of cursing, but should help group them further. The bases are kinda crud, but eh. Good enough for purposes.Designation in Place
So, after an hour or so, I got the waterslides into place. Just a bit of extra detail.
After that, it cleared up enough this evening for the second layer of varnish. They're sitting in my bathtub with the bathroom fan on (the single person's fume hood). Basically done? I'm not happy with the bases, but honestly, I could glue down some basing snow and hide that. Unsure.Inclement Weather
Meh, decided I hated the bases. A quick dip in the snow should hide my crimes.
Specifically, I spread some white glue on the base with a pin, then just dunked the base in Army Painter snow. Makes it look like just a dusting, and better than before.Activated
And done. Took me a few days to get good enough weather, but I’m generally happy with these. Pretty basic, and didn’t pick out the skull on the Royal Warden base, but good enough to use.
