Yes yes, I said I would paint Vampire Counts.. then I proceeded to paint up an Orc because Orctober.. But then the call of the Dawi pulled me back from the abyss, so I knocked out a Lord and his two retainers.

Did this one in about 3 hours, and I'm honestly pretty happy for once - a few things to fix and improve, but isn't there always?

As always, thanks for the support!

The vile Orc & Pork snuck in on the third slide

Wow. One month of 10mm Warmaster and NMM - it both feels like a lifetime, and as if I started yesterday.

Now, I know they're really small, but seeing them all together like this is a really cool experience. I've been infamous when it comes to finishing projects due to the lethargy that comes with depression (and the brief, fleeting pursuit of a new seratonin high through another new project), but this one I feel like I can actually push on through with!

I want to thank each and every one of you that's encouraged me, given out pointers or constructive feedback, and fed my ego with your applause.

Here's to another month, and then another!

Thanks for being a fantastic community.

Its ya boy Boogs, back at it again with the Dawi.

This was the 'last batch' for September and we're now going into SPOOKTOBER which can only mean one thing..

Lots and lots and lots of Undead

Anyway, as always, hope you like 'em and thank you for the support!

I know I said I would do weekly posts, but as it turns out, I say a lot of things.

So, we revise it into "I'll post the first strip of a stand if its a new unit!"

With that said, here are my first Longbeards. I still need to fix some runes / writing in the book, but I need to actually sit down and look up some Dawi writing for that. And, probably, get new glasses.

I am not super happy with these - at least not up close, but I'm also really working on overcoming my harsh self-criticism and habit of spending way too long on models and leaving things half finished.

Anyway, enough rambling - hope you like em!

As promised, I am back at it with my first army - Dwarfs!

I've got 1k points ready, broken up into batches, and first out is the Gyrocopter!

I knocked this one out this evening in about 3 hours - which is sort of the "hard limit" I've given myself for a mini, as there's... So many of them. But, I'm happy - as always, there's things you could push even further, but, lets be real, who has the time and energy when you're doing thousands of points?

I'll probably stick to weekly updates rather than daily, as not to wear you all out - once again, thank you for the support, and if you want to see WIPs, find me at Instagram @ alien_boogaloo

Until next time!

I couldn't leave you with just Vlad for today, so I quickly knocked out another one to keep you warm and fuzzy through the day / night.

Trying to practice on working fast to a standard I am satisfied with - if I'm gonna be able to paint two whole armies I need to figure out an efficient workflow.

This one took about two hours (with plenty of distractions from the Savage, unruly, spoiled cats and dog), but I think it's Good Enough ^(™️)

Hopefully you like him as well - there's a few touchups left, but, I'll probably move on to the next shiny thing.

See ya tomorrow, fellow Warmasters!

And, as promised, here's both of them in their full gory glory!

I have a few strips that are ALMOST done, but I struggle to put the final touches on them - like a magpie, my attention hops from shiny to new shiny.

So, strips are probably resting for a few days, and I'll focus on knocking out a few heroes and Lords.

As always, thank you for the encouragement, and let me know if you want to see something specific painted!

I apologize for my absence! I had a strip of Goblins ALMOST finished, but it had been a long day and these old rattlebones simply couldn't pull through.

To make up for it, I took on a request by u/Substantial_Price250

Here are some Empire Flagellants, and my first proper attempt at a "night time" scene. I've got plenty to improve on, but, I think it works?

Anyway, hope you like them - as always, thank you for the support, and if you have a request, let me know!

You didn't think I'd forget you, right? A new day, a new strip!

This time I painted up (or rather, finished the ones I sketched earlier) a strip of Tabala.. Tabalehm.. Tabacalaland? La-La-Land Handgunners!

I had planned to fix them a bit more, but my shipment of new brushes with actually non-dysfunctional tips have been lost in the mail, so.. No eyes for these gunners.

There's a few more strips that are SORT OF done that I'll wrap up, so, stay tuned.

Also, if you want to see a specific race or unit, let me know and I may very well expedite the process.

Until tomorrow! For Sigmar!

And we're back at it again, this time with a simple strip of Vampire Counts skeletons.

It's... been a day today, so this was the best I could muster.

Vampire Counts are flavour-wise one of my absolute favorite Fantasy races, and yet.. I somehow always find myself fizzling out when I attempt to paint them.

Very strange.

Anyway, we carry on with the next step.

See you soon 💀

Thought I was done with just the Ogre? No no, we're doing a strip a day.

Re-did these Warriors like three time - it just didn't click for me, so ended it with a mark of Nurgle, aka***, I just don't have it in me to paint more black armor with sharp highlights.***

We're just over the halfway point, so you'll have to bear with me another week.

Once again, many thanks for the encouragement!

Told you I would be back!

This time with a.. uh.. Yeah, lets not talk about it and move on. Next!

You didn't really think I'd stop posting, right? We still have units to go! But, we're thinning the herd (foreshadowing?)!

Here's my Swordmasters of Hoeth. Until my new, and actually finely-pointed brushes arrive, their faces have to remain 64-bit polygons.

Oh, and the family is gathered as well - some of them still WIP.

See you tomorrow!

I'm sure you're sick of me by now, but, we still have a few races left to go. Also, I feel that for every day, my NMM is improving! It's FINALLY starting to click for me.

This is probably as much effort as I can put into these, but, MOVING ON! Next up.. Ogres? Beastmen? Chaos?

Also, shoutout to whomever it was that reminded me to put the MAGICAL DOTS OF METAL for extreme highlights. It really does change everything.

Today we celebrate my first week of Warmaster! My attempt at painting up 1 strip and hero per faction is coming along well - and I am slowly starting to figure NMM out!

Many thanks for all the encouragement - deeply appreciated.

I'll try and finish the WIPs up in the coming week, and then I'll do a proper shoot for all of them.

As promised - I am continuing my "I'll paint every army!" painting campaign.

Technically still WIP (dorky Elves need some work), but good enough for tonight.

As this is my first proper NMM practice, I'm slowly starting to dial in a gold recipe that works for me - I think the Dark Elves are getting closer and closer to what I'm gunning for. Some extra sharp highlights and a white dot (you know who you are) should seal it? Anyway, rambling - enjoy!

PS: Blame the cats and dog for all the fuzz on the photo mat..

I've decided to try and paint up one strip per day as practice, and as a way to figure out which army I'll commit to painting up (first!) - enjoyed these Orcs immensely. A few touchups needed, but all in all, calling them done. Moving on!

So, I stumbled across Warmaster by chance and last evening I decided to give it a go.

As it turns out, I had a massive blast and thoroughly enjoyed it! So, now I've thrown myself in deep and there's plenty of more to come.

I've never really done NMM, so I decided it was time to start practicing it - why on earth I decided 10mm was the time and place to practice it I'll never know.

A glutton for punishment.

Anyway, here's my first, of hopefully many, Brets & Warmaster! Hope you like him.

So, it happened. I caved. I, against my better judgement, decided to grab the Season 3 box. I shouldn't have - because I already have Saturnine.. and Cathay.. and Necrons.. and 10kg of printed minis.. And Kill Teams..

Anyway, I grabbed it regardless, but I figured I wasn't that keen on the teams.. So I grabbed the Gnomes as well. But, I figured, I had a rough week, so I should treat myself. So I grabbed the Lizardmen. And then, I thought to myself..

How many teams do you need?

Well, that's obvious.

One more.

So I grabbed vampires.

Anyway, this is what I've been doing the past 3 days. Still WIP, but, we're getting there.

Happy to be here - I'll try and stick around for a while. 🏈⚔️
