For a start, I finally finished Bozrog!
I actually got him painted up pretty quickly once I turned my attention to it. It was mostly just building up layers of drybrushing, then picking out some details.
I might go back later and add a few transfers and a bit more weather, but I reckon he's pretty decent as he is.
Beyond that I've mostly been working on some Mordor Uruks for a doubles tournament I'm doing with a mate in a few weeks time:
They're not going to be be winning any best painted awards any time soon, but I'm happy with them. We're taking the Cirith Ungol legendary legion, so I've got to sit down this week and paint the command models, plus the Orc half, but that won't take too long.
The event should be great fun. Me and my mate aren't taking it seriously at all. We're just using it as an excuse to hang out for the first time in ages and have a laugh.
As if those weren't enough, I've also been sprucing up my Reaver Titans for Adeptus Titanicus:
With news of the Traitor Legios book on its way, I'm a lot more excited for the game than I've been for a while. The arrival of Corrupted Titans also gives me the perfect excuse to add some Nurgle-y details to them, so I've been having a lot of fun with technical paints!
I've tried to keep things subtle, so a casual observer is likely to miss the chaotic influence at first, but the closer you look, the more you see. Finding the right balance has been an interesting exercise in self restraint.
I am pretty happy with them though and I can't wait to carry on with the rest of the Maniple, as well as adding to it with a few more obviously corrupt Engines. That's in a few weeks time though, once this latest Middle Earth event is done with.
So yeah, that's what's been keeping me busy. Shame I'm so terrible at blogging about it in a timely manner! I'd promise that's going to change, but we both know that's unlikely. You'll have to endure my occasional splurge catchup instead! Hopefully you've enjoyed it though. I'll post more again soon.
Until next time, happy hobbying!
Those shields on the Uruks are very cool! Where are they from?
ReplyDeleteGreat progress all together. I really like the colour transitions on the knights!
Cheers man! The shields were 3d printed for me by a group I'm part of of called Guardians of Wiltshire.
DeleteThey're pretty cool, as well as adding a bit of 'pop' to an otherwise pretty boring project imo.
