Welcome back. I love the sculpt for the above mini and its a snap fit mini to boot! More plastic! Have I mentioned that I love plastic minis? I can't recall. Oh well, onto the WIP ;)
Oh God! I forgot how nice it is to paint blue! It's one of the most forgiving colors to work with. No wonder there are so many Ultramarine armies out there :p
And there's the finished power pack. Again, I'm thinking that the Angels of Redemption are a more utilitarian chapter and I'm trying to limit how much gold I use as well as how stark I highlight the metal. So far it's working out nicely.
I went for the same kind of OSL glow on the sword that I use on my on my Fallen. Yellow highlighted up to white and then a very thinned red wash followed by a selective dry brush of white and then a glaze of yellow.
It will look nice against all the blue and green on the completed mini.
Now, a few other bloggers have been sharing pictures of their set ups; so here's a look into the man cave that I share with The Lady Inquisitor...
 |
| My work space. |
 |
| My cabinet of completed city fight & planet strike terrain. |
 |
| Corner filled with citadel army cases. |
 |
| The Lady Inquisitor's work space. |
It's a damn small room, but I love it. Now, like any other plastic crack addict there is a bit of spill over into other areas...
 |
| My gaming table. |
 |
| The rest of my terrain (there's a realm of battle behind the mega blocks). |
I share a toy area with The Agent of Chaos ;) I made sure the trim on the gaming table matches the shelving unit for the terrain and that it hangs up so that when company comes over they just say "Oh wow, what a nice piece of art! Where did you get it?" The realm of battle and battle mat can sit on top of it, thus giving me the ability to have 3 different tables with only one surface. So that's why I have enough terrain for 3 tables -Ha! No, it's more of an addiction really. I love to make terrain, but I hardly ever play o.0
Next post: More DV Librarian WIPs and I'll show you what's in that Blood Angels lunch box on the shelf. If The Agent of Chaos let's me snap a few pictures of their "Space 'arnies". If you'd like a closer look at anything just ask in the comments and I'll try to include it in the next post. Also, I'm curious to hear and see what you guys have in terms of set ups and addictions. Anybody better off? Anybody worse (i.e. Insulating their living space with plastic/resin)? Thanks for stopping by and remember; you can't spell paint without a little pain.
