Quarantine Roundup 1: March 20 - April 26

Image
So far, despite the hardships throughout the world, my own experiences with the Quarantine have been very productive. Painting miniatures is very therapeutic.    I painted a lot of characters that have been sitting on my shelf and they've been a great palate cleanser and also cleared some big wedges from my backlog. April 1: This rad rocker is done in my pink Emperor's Children scheme except without the mad motley of other colors. The purple does such a better job that I am considering dragging out the rest of my Noise Marines to repaint them. April 2: This Anvils of the Heldenhammer Leena Stormspire was another personal challenge to take time and have patience during the work. I almost succeeded. I mean, I was done in a day, so I clearly didn't truly give her the time she deserved. April 4: My swamp-dwelling Defenders of S'val Necrons force have a new Cryptek, The Hag . She says "peace out!"

Rebasing WAAAGH! Tuska

I spent considerable time rebasing the Daemon Orks (DOrks) of WAAAGH! Tuska. It was really necessary considering how the models disappeared on the bloody bases. With a more neutral to cool tone on the bases, the models look a lot better.

I sold my Space Marines army and picked up a Titanicus maniple. I was, at first, going to run these as Ordo Sinister, but since you can only have one Psi Titan per army and I don't really like the scheme, I switched to God Breakers. The blue is 50/50  Stegadon Scale/Dawnstone, then a 50/50 Sotek Green/Dawnstone. I washed the gold parts with about 25/75 of Dark Angels Green Contrast and Contrast Medium.

Vandyr Starmantle, Autarch of the Lugganath, Dearest Brother, I hope this note is delivered to you in a timely manner and its courier remains unmolested by the bullies in your employ. I cannot imagine that you were as surprised to see me as I you in our recent engagement. Your full armour and Swooping Hawk getup did not fool me. I could sense you behind the mask. Also, your body language was reminiscent of the boy I knew from before the universe collapsed around our people and threatened to swallow us whole. Still, I was surprised to see you. I must admit that when I saw your force of naive puritans arrayed against my own, we were caught off-guard. This is a rare occurrence, I assure you, therefore I am certain our encounter was not by chance. Moreover, many of your number had more than ample opportunity to end the lives of many of our number as they lay wounded and out of reach from aid. They did not -- rather, you and your forces faded back into the sky and the hidden paths f...
