The Necron Project

Been working on quite a bit, just haven't posted about it. I'll get back into it now that it's summer.

The big project I just took on is painting a necron army for a friend. Probably around 1700 points of dudes, there's quite a bit to paint. I'll be airbrushing most of it. This'll give me some great practice with the airbrush, as well as getting some great experience painting necrons.

The collection :)

Started with a test model, only took me maybe 15 min or so (not including paint changing time, etc.). Sent both versions to my buddy, waiting for a response on his preference. 

 

More updates coming soon.

From the Painting Table: Steampunk and Necromunda

So, my gaming group has recently discovered Necromunda, an old gang fight game that Games Workshop put out a while back. Since the game is pretty old, no one cares what models you use for it, so everyone's got some kind of crazy dudes that make up their gang. Wanting an excuse to paint some steampunk stuff, I went out and bought some amazing steampunk models from Ratnik Miniatures, Micro Art Studios, and miniatures from the Malifaux game.

I love the character of these models. This one is from the Ratnik set, and I just love how great their models look. They're not too expensive either (the set of 2 was less then $10). Here's the other:

Really, they've got some great stuff. You'll be seeing the rest of the gang (appropriately called the Neo Victorians) later. Also, still getting used to the new camera setup. Hopefully the pictures will get better with time.

You can find the rules for Necromunda here (a good bit of fun, and only needs about 10 models and some terrain to play.)

As always, enjoy, and feel free to leave comments!

From the Painting Table: Drop pods, Tactical squad

Hey! It's been a while. Don't worry, I've been keeping busy, getting stuff painted and whatnot. I've got a couple of new projects in the works right now as well, so you'll be seeing more posts coming at least once a week.

So, got some airbrush time over the break, and got some of my Pods painted all bright and yellow.

Went with sort of a non-metalic metal look with a 3 color shade on each panel. I've got the fins done as well, I'll post pictures when the thing is done. 

Also got my full 10 man tactical squad done as well. It was a feat, but they turned out nicely. :)

Still working on getting the stupid decals to work. I ordered some microsol, so hopefully that'll do the trick. Anyways, that's all for now. You'll be seeing more posts of my other projects here pretty soon. As always, comments an criticisms always appreciated!

From the Painting Table: Imperial Fist Draigo

Hello. :) Time for another quick update on the happenings. This ones a couple weeks old, but figured you guys would like pictures of it. Draigo is a great model to begin with, but I really didn't like the mono-chrome silver look he normally has. So, in the Imperial Fist fashion, I painted him up all yellow and fancy. :) Did some minor conversions, mostly just kept the stock model and stuck him on a fancy base. He took 3rd in the local painting competition as well, which was nice. Aiming for first next time! Anyways, enjoy!
