This Project is Completed
Wood Elf Stag Riders (400 points)
Back to painting! More Wood Elves, painted as before but with the addition of darkoath flesh for the stags.
Treemen (510 points)
My next box is to do two Treemen models. I’ve added gryph-hound orange to the colour palette to represent autumn leaves.
While I was using those colours I also did six bases of forest spirits and a forest wraith.
More archers!
Another unit done. Some more archers. There isn’t a box left in the grid for them to occupy so no points this time.
Characters and warhawk riders (580 points)
Two boxes filled this time, and I’ve finished my wood elf 10mm project for the time being too.
I’ve done all the characters, plus a unit of warhawk riders. I feel that justifies a character box and a unit of 2+ box.
Only two more boxes to go in two and a bit months.
Adam Jensen Bust (740 points)
Adam Jenson was the main character in Deus Ex: Human Revolution – a great PC game I had fun with over a decade ago. I found the bust on ThingyVerse, if memory serves correctly.
I tried to go for a harsh highlights, comic book style.
The model was undercoated chaos black.
The skin was painted bugman’s glow with highlights of cadian fleshtone and kislev flesh.
The hair was highlighted rhinox hide.
The black panels were edge highlighted mechanics standard grey.
The sleeves were painted steel legion drab, then highlighted with tallarn sand followed by karak stone.
The grey panels were painted skavenblight dinge then edge highlighted stormvermin fur.
The green panels were painted death world forest then edge highlighted nurgling green.
The orange stripe was painted jokaero orange then highlighted trollslayer orange.
The lenses of his glasses were painted with steel legion drab, tallarn sand and iyanden darksun.
BINGO! Avalon map (1000 points)
For the final box on my bingo grid I wanted to do something different and special. In recent years I’ve played Tainted Grail on and off, and I really like the setting. Each campaign is set on the same island, Avalon, but in different time periods. For a while know I’ve had the idea to try and recreate the map as a diorama/terrain piece.
The map handout that comes with the game.
I started with a shallow wooden tray about 30cm by 30cm from the bridal range at hobbycraft. I then printed a map of Avalon from the game and used it as a template to tear layers of cork sheet into the different elevations of the island. I glued them down with PVA.
I then applied the key structures of the map. These were a combination of 3D prints scaled down to 10% of size, a Games Workshop treetop, a piece of natural sponge, parts sculpted from milliput, and some swords from my bits box. For houses I used matchsticks cut up into short lengths. I also used a rotary tool to make the moat, valley, lake and river depressions.
I protected the sides of the box with masking tape.
Everything was undercoated brown then painted up with a basic approach: base colour, wash, then drybrush.
I painted all the grass areas with PVA then applied a green flock. After leaving it 24 hours to dry I gently tapped off the excess then used a hoover to ensure I removed any remaining loose flock from the sea areas.
The masking tape was carefully removed and then woodland scenics' realistic water was slowly poured over the sea, river, lake and moat.
After giving the resin 24 hours to cure, the piece was finished by using PVA glue to apply artificial snow on the North West of the map. This represents the Wyrdness that blankets cursed Tuathan.Bingo bonus - Synteriah, Warden of the Mechanium
