Pledge for the week: Work on and finish up the 1st ed. Pandora crew and get most of my Some’r Teeth crew completed. I’ll have pics of the Pandora here soon as well as the Goblin crew. I’m mostly getting done a lot of work that I had set aside when it was half-ass started when the newest shiny caught my attention.
I’ve settled on painting up the Skeeters like those that spread Chikungunya virus which are more striking than Anapheles which spread malaria. The bad part about these models is that the antennae break easily on the sprue despite being careful. Replacement with 34 ga. wire has been the solution along with some wire to mount them and void breaking their legs while moving them.

These are just basecoats and washes for the moment.
I’ll continue work on the dwarf dirigible but there is a slight snag as I’ve lost the base flight stand. I’ll be ordering 3/8″ clear acrylic rod soon but I have car stuff to put money into at the moment. I’ll work on it as I can without having to mount it to the base. By the by I did figure that using material on hand to build with instead of spending money on resin/shipping would be a better deal.
On the painting side aside from that I’ll spray the goblin tanks with some pigment and calm my urge to cover those with paint as well. The question of palette choice for all these things has been posed and honestly I’m just playing about with what I think works. I dug around and found I had a box of War Dancers/Dance Master for Wrath of Kings tucked into a long forgotten drawer. Looks like one more mass of minis to paint. I doubt I’ll be winning any gold buttons soon for awe inspiring brush wielding but I think that having a wave of work put out might get noticed.
Music to pass the time with… anti nightcore
I just finished watching the “4Ground Chat: Partners & Publishing” video and I think I must say this:
When ever there is an interview on BoW it usually works like this:
Straight from A to B.
And then there is this video involving Big Ben, @avernos and @dignity and the talk goes like this:
“What a beautiful landscape, what sights to behold so much to see… wait, where were we going? Were are we? Never mind, HIT THE RED BUTTON! FULL SPEED AHEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaad”
I love it XD
@mage Lol.. that is the Marilyn Manson cover. Nightcore was a subset of hardcore electronic music, related to happy hardcore, which come people might know from jumpstyle artists (Scooter being a major name waaaaay back when). Nightcore was essentially taking something already performed and speeding it up to hit the high pitches normally associated with the vocals of hardcore. Anti-Nightcore is the opposition in slowing things down. I’d say that its something like witchhouse but the two differ distinctly when it comes to original material. You might trace some early precursors in the experimental pieces done by Trent Reznor in his various Halos with noise sample arrangement to witchhouse where Anti-Nightcore seems like something of the alleged reverse play of rock music being satanic messages.
@dawfydd The amount of fur bearing figures that you’ve come to show us all makes me think back to the PETA debacle with GW covered by the always fun TL;DR (aka Teal Deer)
@jodain Thanks much. I’m just getting more things cleared from the cache of halfway worked models and the completion of stuff keeps me going. Making things actually look good and sharing with everybody is a great positive feedback loop.
@sundancer I think that the lack of direction like that comes from the fact that 4Ground Ben builds worlds and can’t sit in one place mentally. There are too many things to wander around and look at as we all get to see (with or without consent).
More dirigible work. The balloon doesn’t fit too perfectly but it will be better with more work. More pictures to be featured in the project.

@sundancer you have just got to love Ben from 4Ground when he appears, he certainly suddenly turns right when you least expect it. I don’t think it matters who is on the show with him, but interesting to hear as always.
@horati0nosebl0wer that dirigible currently looks like a kind of rocket – looking forward to watching the progress though. I did sit down last night and try to follow the ideas for painting black that you linked me to previously for Hawke, no photos of her today, but progress has been made.
I did sit down and paint last night whilst watching a few videos that have just gone up, the VLOG from yesterday – hope @warzan had some friends round to keep him company, the 4Ground chat and Roman on painting wolf fur. I put some paint down on Hawke, but most notably I put some paint down on Leia. Still working on the advice from last time on photographs:
I tried to modify the videos on painting black for the leather on Leia so started with an Oak Brown, then a Black Ink then highlighting with Oak Brown through Khaki. I’m actually quite pleased with how she has come out.
