Yay, after burning out half way through season 9 I am excited to get back on the horse! I just started a dinos riding dinos army so this will be great motivation. Oath incoming very soon.

Whooo...down to the wire but Oaths Complete!

Finished the bastilodon a couple weeks ago and he is probably my most favorite model I've ever painted.









I definitely underestimated how long the ripperdactyls would take, though. Just finished them tonight and didn't have time for nice pictures, sorry. I'm not super happy with them but I have another unit of three that I will be trying some new techniques on.







Claiming A Smooth Start for the blends on the bastilodon shell, tail, and ripperdactyl rider feathers. All in all, these guys were a blast to paint and I'm pretty excited about this new army...Isla Nublar Seraphon ftw.

This was a tough month for me due to real life stuff going on and also being too sick to paint for almost an entire week. I might go back and add some finishing touches to the base later on (a little more dry brushing, maybe make the waves higher), but I was leaving for vacation and I'm happy with how he came out for now. Claiming heavy damage for the weathered wraps and the general mummification of the dude.

Hot drat dude, Mummy-slaan owns. I love your stuff! (Sorry stuff has been poo poo for you, glad you were still able to paint though)

I was phone-posting before, so I wanted to come back and say that this guy looks great! As a lapsed Lizardmen player I love the aesthetic of the Slann, and you really did a good job on this. The spectral glow is really well done!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it! The osl effect on the chair was done lazy-style with an airbrush after I fully painted everything. It was a little nerve wracking painting over the "finished" product but after a little fiddling with the gradient it started to come together.

I'm real happy with how this army is shaping up and seraphon are definitely some of the most fun models I've ever painted. Going forward I'm going to be focusing a bit more on speed to hopefully get up to 2k points by the end of the summer. It definitely doesn't help that I've recently been accumulating a second army that is starting to take up my attention (Tzeentch).

10 blue horrors and 10 brimstone horrors from Games Workshop



This month is going to be all about taking Contrast out for a test drive and getting my Tzeentch army off the ground (even though my dinos aren't done yet) :derp:

10 blue horrors and 10 brimstone horrors. Here's everyone together (and sorry that I didn't have time for better pics):



And some pics of my favorites:







Claiming Feel the Burn and Take One for the Team

The blues were done mostly with contrast and some dry brushing while the brims were airbrushed. Contrast is still kind of tricky for me but I do like the results I got.

The basing was my first time using a technique where you use pva and then drop super glue onto it while still wet, The difference in drying times creates the bubbly crater effect. I love how it came out because it conveys movement and otherworldliness, but I will probably do the next units in a different color. I also tried to use a piece of opal reflective contact paper underneath that to make it seem like a portal opening up under their feet, but I don't think I left enough of it showing and the effect gets lost. I also tinted it yellow which I feel was a mistake. Lessons learned for next time, which is fine since I have about 80 more of these to paint.

2rd Place (2pts): Mikey Purp

These look like what you'd see if you were on a drug trip and took a break for a second, stronger drug trip. Incredibly vibrant colors that all work and blend together.


Thanks so much! Your description is exactly what I was going for, so I'm glad they really mess with your head haha.


In other news, due to my trip being extended by the hurricane hitting the east coast I'm gonna go ahead and call my oath a failure for this month. The main bummer is that for both of them I attempted to get the speed run achievment, so I did like 80% of the work in the first week of August. Oh well, I'll get it next month.
