Inquisitor66 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Its week 8 of the Hobby challenge! Same rules as have been in effect. For this week I am going to point out that the website https://www.goonhammer.com/announcing-the-goonhammer-lockdown-painting-contest/ is having a painting contest with the main rule being anything you started after March 15(which matches really well with this). Lets see if we can get some club representation in their winnings. Also they have prize support. For my personal progress I base painted all 9 remaining chaos warriors. I'm going to hold off on pictures because I want to show them off in all grandeur when fully completed. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 This week, 5 Primaris Hellblasters and, conveniently, 5 Primaris Hellblaster heads. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Goal this week is to finish my block of 25 Samurai, with a “stretch goal” of finishing off the 20 Ashigaru with Muskets. I seem to be unable to find Citadel Contrast Wraithbone spray anywhere. Some third-party sellers are offering it on Amazon for $30-40.00 per can! Plus shipping! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountElmdor Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Home Depot should have something close enough. I got bothered by a couple of rules-illegal demi squads I had from when I first started buying and painting, so I decided to combine those with a few test models I had done in Black Templars colors and convert the whole lot over to Ebon Keshig White Scars. Pics to come. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Turned the last drawer into a church for Woodbox Village. The big flat roof isn’t architecturally sound, but it does give a good place to park a unit of ranged troops or maybe a couple of cannons... and I can always make a cardboard roof later on. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Dice Age Games in Vancouver is now open with curbside service only. Had to try it out. Great news, it works perfectly! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountElmdor Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Rainy Day Games in Beaverton also has it. I went buy yesterday to get a couple of paints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Guardian Games has been doing pick-up orders since the Plague Wars began. The Portland Game Store started doing so at first, but seems to have stopped about two weeks ago. Now they’re just closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I totally let myself get distracted from my samurai project... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Must be something in the water. I haven't made great progress on my Hellblasters either. That looks like it's gonna be cool, btw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I’ve always liked the kit, even if it is a prime example of Citadel’s tendency to cram every square millimeter everything with fiddly little details. Sometimes a brick wall should just be a brick wall, y’know? But it’s a fun kit all the same, which should work equally well as a centerpiece to be fought over in games of Frostgrave or looming over the battlefield menacingly in games of The 9th Age or Oathmark. (Heck, it doesn’t even look out of place to see Captain America and Baron Zemo duking it out on top for Marvel Crisis Protocol!) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroStride Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 I’m like a week or two behind on challenges, but I’m trying to do decent highlighting, and add texture to the cloth using a technique that I have not used before. So far I have learned that slow strokes are bad, they’re wavey. Fast strokes are better but can be too thick. But a nice “turn the brain off and gently brush” stroke is the best. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallarn Commander Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 It's nice to see everyone's progress. I recently finished up 5 Chaos Marine models: 1 World Eaters Terminator, 3 Night Lords Terminators, and 1 Greater Possessed painted in the colors of my custom warband, the Warpborn. Here are the pictures: The four Chaos termies, they all have magnetized arms so I can swap out weapons if need be... A closeup of the World Eater Terminator, BloodGrin, with pair of lightning claws Bloodgrin with pair of power swords Sarrin, his head is magnetized so I can run his as a regular Chaos Terminator Or as a Chaos Sorcerer in Terminator Armor... Kavatar, Chaos Terminator Mirac, Chaos Terminator Jadath, Warpborn Greater Possessed Jadath and Spike Thanks for looking at my pics! Have fun hobbying everyone. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroStride Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 In the words of their Canoness, “Very loyal, and very cool.” Not at all heretical, or Khorn-curious. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I prefer to think the Order of the Bloody Rose was actually named by a lowly scribe adept who misunderstood what one very frustrated Grand Ecclesiarch was muttering to himself when he couldn’t get a certain plant in his garden to grow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
