Not too much painting going on this week, I've done a little bit for my next article, and I've got the next couple of side projects started. My love affair with Reaper miniatures continues:
Not quite sure what I'm going to do with this chap yet, I'm thinking different hues of black, with some dulled metalwork. The other side project is Boris MkII:
I'd like to keep with the "Boris the Black" theme, so I'm thinking black cloak with some freehand on the back, and some beaten up armour - plenty of dents and scratches with some rust in places. Or maybe black armour (still beaten up) with a dark red cloak? Opinions (and alternative ideas) would be most welcome!
As you can see I've only pinned them to the 30mm bases so far, the next stage will be to fill in the gaps between the metal base and the edge of the rounded lip with modelling sand (and for Boris MkII, some bits of slate, stuck up at the front), and then they'll be undercoated. Also on the horizon is Gandalf on his cart full of fireworks, and at some point the other Warjack from my Khador box set.
Then there are the Eldar Dire Avengers...
...and some Confrontation minis...
...and for some reason I'm itching to paint a Space Marine again as well - what's that about?
That assassin is excellent, makes me want to fet one, painting Space Marines is primeval, we can't help it, I haven't gamed WH40K in years but I still got marines around here somewhere.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't help that I'm currently reading "The First Heretic" (as well as other things), so I'm tempted to do Chaos Space Marines too. I know they're iconic, but why do they have to be so addictive. As easy as it is to bash GW, they've consistently got Space Marines right in the looks department.
