2009 tidbits pt1

A few pics for you of the models I finished up last year but haven't taken pics of yet.

first up i'll do the underhive scum. he's been around forever primed black but forgotten. had always planned to keep most of his clothing black (the first matrix movie had recently came out) so it was only when i decided to try out a technique for black that i gave him a go. it's basically a grey drybrush over black followed by multiple coats of badab black wash. the lighter the grey the sharper the highlight, but multiple washes really smooths the tone. in the end i wanted to give this guy as many cheesy cliches as i could; so his face is horribly scarred and he carry's two gold plated bolt pistols. finally i decided i would give him a light wash of the wood stain, which worked really well and makes him look all dusty.

next up is a couple minis my brother had actually finished painting before i ended up with all his wargaming stuff. they were pretty clean but mostly just basecoats, so i decided to work my way through any painted stuff i have (not painted by me) and decide to strip or not. these two ended up in the "not" category, both needed a few minutes to touch them up and they i gave them both a light wash of wood stain, a coat of dullcote and they look amazing for next to no effort. one is a telekinetic wyrd, the other is a goliath juve. i changed the colour of the juves pants to grey so he would match my genestealer cult models a bit more.

and finally, a couple necromundan giant rats. these suckers had started to crop up through event cards in our games, so i decided i needed them painted. took no time at all either.

random necro pic - 'Scummer' Berbe

I've recently started seriously looking at any painted models I have from my first foray into GW more than a dozen years ago. I have some models which I really don't see myself ever re-painting completely - so I've been trying to see if I can get them somewhere I'm happy with and be done with it. Some of the mordheim lizardmen and bonnie annerson are two examples (lizzies painted by my bro). On top of that I have some painted models that I ended up with in bulk deals through craigslist or similar (likely on deck... old school 40K assassin).

Here's another of my brothers, a necromunda "underhive scum" wielding a plasma pistol. He was painted quite well, very neat and even a bit of blending on the pistol. It definitely didn't scream finished though, so I took some of my wood stain dip, mixed in some water to keep it nice and thin and gave the whole model a wash. Then I gave it a shot of testors dullcote to get rid of the gloss. He looks perfectly scummy now - and I hope to get a chance to include him in future games.
I'm going to try to document all my other painted stuff that hasn't shown up in the blog yet. I have a Wyrd Telepath I painted that I've already got varnished, a Wyrd Telekinetic my brother painted that just needs a bit of touch ups + the watered down dip treatment that I'm thinking of getting done.

Eventually I plan to put together some numbers for total models painted per game.

ps. Thanks to Mik for naming him :)
