It's picture day

I decided that I'd take the painted stuff and the mostly put together stuff downstairs and get a few pictures. Here is all of the painted Nids at the moment.

I'm no Picasso

But hopefully this is better than finger paints. I sat down this morning and decided to try and get the warriors I started done. They are basically the test figures for the army and I wanted to see how the washes and different techniques looked when done with my hands, instead of someone on the internet.

Bases again

The three that I had primed have been gone over and I think they're done for now. I don't want to get to fancy with these since I need to get moving on the rest of the bases and models. Here is the picture of the three now.

I had a question about what color to make the pipe, I was thinking that I would paint it an orange to keep them in line with the colors I'm using on th models. The problem is that I don't want to distract from the models too much. I think that if the colors on the base are too bright they might do just that. I finally decided to keep to something a little closer to the colors on the base. I think the green looks pretty good. It blends well with the gray on the base. Now to move onto the Warriors to go on them.


Until Next time.

Bases

I've started work on my bases that I'll be using for the army. I want to keep the space hulk theme so when I was looking around the web for how to do it I found plenty of resin bases that I could buy. I know that I'm going to need a buch of bases and even at a buck a base it would be pretty expensive, so I'm building my own.
I used a great tutorial from Tim over at Vanus Temple as inspiration for design and colors. I'll be posting them as I get them done. Here is a picture of the bases I have so far.

I'll be doing the colors a little different but they should be pretty similar.

Until next time.

Paint contest For the Win

I've always been a pretty big believer in Karma. Just one of those things you know, but it's just a word. With that in mind I had to kill an hour and a half or so while my youngest was at ballet rehearsal, so I swung by the Tukwila GW to see what was going on. Figured that I would pick up my Feb. White Dwarf while I was there. I'm not a fantasy player so this month is kind of Meh for me, oh well. I had forgotten about the Tyranid eat the store event so I was met with plenty of people putting Nids on the tables. Pretty cool to see what people would bring to an Apoc game.
