Well, here
it is, and for the first time I'm not completing one of these Hobby
Goals on Saturday night so the pictures benefit from something
resembling natural light. This isn't exactly for immediate attention,
the painting station is still rather crowded, but it'll give me
something to dip into when I want to get something done on the side.
This is by no means every half-painted miniature in my collection,
just the ones that are something close to complete and that I
actually feel some urge to finish:
BRETONNIA
Knights
Errant Cavalier
“Ser
Daniel of the Young Companions”
To do:
A few little jobs to do here. First, I need to freehand some basic
heraldry onto his shield and barding. Nothing too extravagant, he's
only a Knight Errant, just a basic field shape and maybe a small
device. After that I just have to highlight the leathers and horse
brasses and he's ready for basing.
DARK
ELVES
Darkshards
“The
Tower Watch of Karond Kar”
To do:
Main job is to commit some of the dreaded freehand on that banner.
Aside from that there's a little highlighting to do on the armour and
I find myself really wanting to redo that leather in something darker
like Rhinox Hide or Dryad Bark, its far too light.
DEATH
GUARD
Terminator
Lord
“Siegemaster
Scofulas Bezoar”
To do:
Main job here is to do all that fiddly banding on the armour plus
various other mettalics like the claws and those lengths of garden
railing he's wearing on his head for some reason. Also, this is a
model that's been sitting to one side for quite a while so first job
is to, well... dust him, in all honesty.
DWARFS
Runesmith
“Orvyn
Godricson”
To do:
Since this little fellow shuffled off the painting table I've
completely changed how I do Dwarf armour so those silvers will need
completely redoing before I even think about drybrushing that beard
or filling in the bronze details or painting that book.
EMPIRE
Greatswords
“The
Carroburg Greatswords”
(Oh,
I know everyone does the Carroburgs but its a good design.)
To do:
Well, the red cloth needs highlighting, all the metal detail on their
armour (which will mainly be black lacquered and is, therefore, done)
needs doing and I really need to freehand something onto their
banner. Their beards need inking and subtly drybrushing, too.
Handgunners
“The
Bogenhafen Longshots”
To do:
A few simple bits of tidying up on the dividing line between
the pink and bone sides of the uniform and just a touch of
highlighting on the handguns' wooden stocks before I can finish off
the basing. Plus, there are a few areas of the chests behind the arms
that need some paint applying to them, white being an unforgiving
basecoat.
LIZARDMEN
Bastiladon
“Light
of the Old Ones”
To do:
Lots and lots to do here but it will be so worth it. Had art
block for a while on this little chap but now I think a grey carapace
would suit the green I've used for the scales. Aside from that, the
Skinks and Ark are simple jobs that I can paint using methods used
elsewhere in the army. Though, I admit, the Skinks will take a while
over a black undercoat.
Saurus
“The
Spears of Heaven”
To do:
Probably the most extensive job on this list. The skin is
finished but not much else: I need to fill in the shields, the spear
hafts and pick out all their teeth, claws and spines. Also, I really
need to fix the sand on those bases where its flaked off.
Skink
Priest
“Kuchiki,
Raptor-Priest of Tlaxtlan”
To do:
More of the evil and unforgiving white undercoat: I need to
choose a colour for that last line of feathers and tidy up the
others, plus do the golds on jewellery and staff. Also, like the
Saurus the sanding needs redoing because, apparently, Corax White
doesn't keep the sand in place as well as Chaos Black.
OGRE
KINGDOMS
Ogre
Bulls
“The
Gut Punchers”
To do:
Big simple models, big simple jobs. I need to fill in the boots and
belts with a different brown than the trousers; drybrush trousers and
bone bits; ink the metal; and, add some bronze or brass for contrast
on the gutplates. Hair could do with an Eshin Grey drybrush for
definition, too.
ORCS &
GOBLINS
Gnarly
Squigs
“Da
Chompas”
To do:
Just a little highlighting on the flesh, mainly tidying up where the
ink layer came out a little too thick, before I can finish up on the
bases.
TOMB
KINGS
Necrotect
“Amon
Crookback”
To do:
Literally just his basing, quick drybrush and paint the rim in Steel
Legion Drab.
WOOD
ELVES
Glade
Guard
“The
Blood of Anmyr”
To do:
These I abandoned when some fine detail work proved too
difficult. There are some very, very fine bits of binding on the
models' arms and legs that I just kept missing with my brush point,
smearing Steel Legion Drab over their skin. Now I have my Insane
Detail Brush, hopefully the task will no longer be beyond me.
Tree-Kin
“The
Unquiet Souls”
To
do: An
easy one to end with. Most of the hard work on these is done, I just
have to finish layering the flesh on the spites, drybrush the skulls
and then pick out minor details like the vines and fungi. Probably
just a single sitting's work
