Spent the week doing all the panels in small increments, and now it’s time to finish em off. I got three more done today!

I caved and got a Geddon box, here’s my angry flying death monk.

I appreciate the c+c from the last one, I’ve gone with black leather for the holster and used a deep teal for glazing instead of just black.

Also Tamiya clear red straight from the pot is the goat for single coating your panels.

Just because the last guy wearing it made it smell like a daemon orgy doesn’t mean it’s not still good.

He’s here to kick orphans and bully Salamanders, and he’s all out of orphans.

Time to paint some more angry bois and I’m trying a few scheme ideas. Here is the first tester, using Tamiya clear red to fill panels after starting off bronze for the whole model.

My phone camera really hates glossy paint near fluorescent paint so I did two different backgrounds to hopefully make it read how it does IRL.

Just failed on time because Acheron doesn’t shut up and the detonation trigger doesn’t grant you a checkpoint.

To rub it in I could hear the Thunderhawk landing as it cut to the failure screen.

Duh nuh nuh nuh!

This also completes all my Sylvaneth…so I should probably go play some games.

Anime girls hate this one simple trick.

Somebody once told me the grove was gonna roll me, that I ain’t the tallest tree in the woods.

Got bored painting tree people for AOS and spent a minute to do this dude. I got some AK Xtreme Metals and they’re pretty cool. You’re going to want to do two coats of the black gloss primer instead of just the one I did.

The chrome plays really well with contrast paints and washes.

And wrapping up all my infantry, I finished off the spites today.

I finished off the Dryads, who are definitely not tree zombies.

Or I dunno some kind of pacific rim tree robot? She’s gonna pilot this tree suit and bunch Belakor right in the Chaos Undivided.

Or tree-cyberpunk battle body I dunno.

Either way enjoy the trypophobia.

Let’s see those weekend WIPs!

I’ve been working through the Outcast Spitegrove box and put a decent chunk of work into Drycha. I’m also speed painting my Dryads, both of which I got to try some new techniques on.

Then fortune favored me as the LGS got a Grove Guardian in and I just had to build it.

I busted out the AK paint markers to do the darker parts of Drycha’s bark. There’s a nice selection of green greys in the set.

I then was messing with a new airbrush and managed to get my paint transparent enough to skip the first two rounds of dryad dry brushing, and only need to do the final color. These little fellas are going to be my laboratory for the pro-acryl one step paints that finally arrived as I finish the little details nestled in their branches.

But I love to see what everyone has been up to, share your stuff forest folk!

I really liked painting the bugs, painting the riders glued to the bugs? Don’t do this, don’t be like me. The pelvis fits onto the bug, keep the pelvis and up separate during painting. Blue tack it in place for priming, then stick a bit of metal rod into the bottom to affix it to a painting handle.

I struggled to get a good scheme on this unit, and had to strip and start over twice.

Big L on the decision to not make it easy to keep them separate for painting.

What sayeth the forest? Good bug or bad bug? The highlights will be glazed down a little bit when everything else is done.

They’ll bring you wishes, so long as you wished for an arrow to the knee.
