Indolent Bastard told me to post some screenshots of my hands to show how i stabilize them on the table edge.
So if you claim to have shaky hands just put them somewhere that doesn't shake

One of my earliest painting "coaches" suggested planting the base of the brush hand into the ball of the hand holding the miniature. That way, when one hand shakes, they both shake together, so the brush and mini are relatively still next to each other. (Elbow bracing is optional.)

Painted up this pot'o Cawl. He's 95% done but i've got a game tomorrow so the very final highlights can wait.

Slow progress continues. You can really tell the difference between the super glossy VGC paints on the body and the matte Reaper paints of the spikes.

The Great Goon Chapter Challenge complete!


Created by Belisarius Cawl in the Ultima Founding, the Savage Hounds are an Imperial Fists successor Chapter*.
Like their namesakes, the hunting hounds of ancient Terra would herd prey into the hunter's sights, a squad of Savage hounds relentlessly advance on their foes pouring continuous fire into them, all the while in conjunction with other squads doing the same thing herds their enemies into killzones where they are rapidly cut apart in a savage crossfire.
While they are effective, the Savage Hounds are also absolutely ruthless. Anyone foolish enough to not give the Savage Hounds a wide berth might find themselves as the target of the Hounds's fire, civilians and allies alike.
These unfortunate souls typically have two choices; be cut down where they stand, or find that all their attempts of avoiding the incoming fire has pushed them into the killzone where they share their last breaths with the enemies of Mankind.
Even those capable of reaching the Savage Hounds over vox usually have little luck getting out alive. Once the targets are in their sights and a killzone have been designated, the Hounds will not stop their advance until either the last foe dies, or they themselves do.

Archmagos Dominus Cawl vehemently denies that the chapter's ruthless tactics and apparent inability to differentiate ally from enemy in the heat of combat is because of any tampering of his. And especially not because of any experimental cybernetic aggression amplifiers based on ancient, and forbidden, archeotech.


*Or so the official records claim.

If you haven't figured it out from the three clues on the model itself, or the heavy hinting in the description yet, the idea here is that these dudes are actually made from World Eaters geneseed. Between Khorne Red and the World Eaters' pre-Angron name being the War Hounds, this was the clear path for me to take.

Now, on to pictures! Click for large.
My apologies for the picture quality, even with some paper covering my work light the light is still a bit too harsh, and that is hiding a bit of the highlights.



This is my first time ever painting a marine, and also my first time trying to freehand anything.
In addition, this is the first thing I've painted in close to a year. It felt real nice to just do a fun one-off.

those miniatures are awesome but they also seem to be much, much bigger than 28mm minis. Does anyone ITT own the labyrinth game? It's hard to find comparison pictures.

I definitely did consider picking it up anyways to paint up the jareth miniature as a statue.

Bit of a long-shot here, but if any UK goons happen to spot someone in possession of a suspiciously well-painted army, this one was stolen recently.

Hopefully it was a cheap one. For an all around one, i recommend the Patriot 105.

It was an Iwata Neo I picked up for like 60-70 bucks.

I want to move up to an Iwata HP-CS, hows that compared to the Patriot 105?

So good.

OATH COMPLETE


I can't take a decent pic with my new light box to save my life, so these might change.
e: took some at my workstation; still not great, but better than the first batch

Claiming A faithful replic for the Wraith tank. This was also my first time doing a pen wash, and the turret + gunner are magnetizied:



Tried something different with Lord Castellant. After the initial zeinthal prime, I essentially redid it with different shades of gold through the airbrush. His cloak is also my first shot at glazing.



I got nothing for poor bird-cat dude. At least the colors are fun.

Half-Elf Sorceress from Reaper. My wife said to paint her like a princess, but didn't specify which one

That wraith is gorgeous and I need to know what you did/what paints and washes so I can shamelessly steal it for a model kit.

Thanks! If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the reds so vibrant on your space marines? Every time I try I end up either with maroon (see above) or almost an orange.
