A Million Little Projects

[lorelorn]

A very small update here. I've done a little more painting, and made a start on some of those new models I picked up in May. Seen below is an Imbrian Arts goblin, a Guild of Harmony elf and a Dwarf Tales dwarf, all works in progress.



More soon, especially Talisman characters as I've signed up for the Tale of Board Game painters.

[mdiscala]

Lets see that Imbrian goblin finished. I'm curious how he'll turn out.

[lorelorn]

I've assembled the rest of the Imbrian figs, and put them on a variety of bases.



Also started on Talisman figures



Progress is made... interesting by my assistant! Awww.

I love those Imbrian Arts goblins. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

Okay, okay, I can take a hint! Imbrian goblins are going front and centre!

I'm curious to see what I can do with them myself!

[lorelorn]

Okay so that was a long time between updates. What can I say, the painting bug left me, and I decided to wait until it came back, not try and force myself to paint miniatures.

It's back now, so here's a little progress on the Talisman characters:



That's six now complete, with the Druid, Dwarf and Elf currently underway. If you're wondering what the coloured base rims are about, it's blue for good, green for neutral and red for evil alignment.

Also I went to another convention, and while the spending wasn't as bad as the last one I still managed to buy into a new game. This time it was Malifaux, and the Viktorias boxed set called to me, once I'd seen some examples of the characters painted up. I've gotten as far as the undercoat but I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into these.

[lorelorn]

Another update, as I got a few of the Talisman figures finished today. First figures I've finished in quite a while!

Druid, Dwarf, and Elf:



I tried something a little different with the Dwarf and Elf bases. I thought the other bases were fine until I looked at the photos of them. I'll convert the other bases over to this pattern too.

Here's all the figures painted so far:



Also, I've used the character card art as a rough guide to painting, here's some examples of those, with the figures next to them:







Okay so the Elf is in need of a wash - in Badab Black!

Finally the Ghoul:

Nice job on the Talisman minis! It really improves the game when they are painted too as they are nice models.

[lorelorn]

A family tragedy that happened about a week after that last update has thrown me around a bit. Finally getting back up to speed with the painting.

More characters painted for Talisman



First two Malifaux models done - Bishop and Tayla.

[lorelorn]

A trio of Talisman characters completed:

Minstrel (I didn't enjoy painting this one and it shows)



Monk




Priest (I had to laugh at how his expression makes it look like he is squinting at the camera flash)



Also one of the fantasy hero figures is done, a cool Dwarf Tales figure

Thank-you (belatedly!)

[lorelorn]

Another fantasy hero, another Dwarf, this one is a very old GW figure:




I am now a quarter of the way into painting the fantasy heroes. To prove that it's more than a collection of Dwarf models, here is a group shot:



They are gathered on an old piece of GW terrain that I have always liked. There are 20 models in total in this shot.

[lorelorn]

Another day, another three models done!

Two more of the Malifaux gang are complete. I wasnt' expecting to finish so fast, but the first Viktoria took less time than I has expected.

First up is Johan:


And now Viktoria:



The third model is that Imbrian arts goblin. I'm not sure about the orange that I finished his clothes with, so I will reconsider what I am doing with these models. Also of the 200+ models I showed back in post 73 I think this is the only one I've painted. Scary thought.

[lorelorn]

More painting, more progress. Here I have painted the Prophetess, Sage, and Sorceress for Talisman. I now only have four figures to go on this project.



I also finished the second Viktoria. I took a pic but it came out blurry, so I'll try again for another update.

With 5 out of 6 of that gang painted, and the last figure unbased, I've decided to switch back to the Imbrian figures, this time the two Orcs. Here's where I am starting from:

[lorelorn]

Okay, here is the pic of the Malifaux gang. This represents the Viktorias gang starter box. My project isn't finished yet as I did buy an extra figure which is not even assembled and based yet.



Also here's a WIP shot of those Imbrian orcs:



I'm into the closing stages of the Talisman project too, so expect more pics shortly.

[lorelorn]

The Talisman project is now complete! Here are the final four characters; Thief, Troll, Warrior, Wizard


Here are all 22 models together, quite a varied bunch they are too!


With this project off to the Hall of Victory, I've decided to move the Blood Bowl Chaos Dwarfs out of hiatus and onto the painting try. The recent release of the Blood Bowl Chaos Edition has got me all fired up to finally paint my favourite team. They were last pictured waaaay back in post 7 and still look the same today.

[lorelorn]

Another week, another update. Nothing has been completed this week, but I've made progress on the Imbrian Orcs and started the Chaos Dwarf team.



Okay, about that pink. What happened was my little assistant poured about a fifth of a paint pot out for herself, before deciding she was finished with it about 20 seconds later. I didn't want to let all that paint go to waste, so I added the pink to the chaos dwarfs out of my intended sequence. It should finish up okay.



The Imbrian Orcs and coming along fine.

[lorelorn]

The two Imbrian Orcs are done!

Here are two pics, one with flash, one without.






I spent a while thinking about what colour to do their base rim before finally picking that light blue tone.

The chaos dwarfs are coming along, and I've started the final Malifaux figure as well. After that will come those Normans and Saxons from almost 18 months ago!

[lorelorn]

The chaos dwarfs have progressed, and the pink has been washed right back

[lorelorn]

The Chaos Dwarfs are done! To clarify, the chaos dwarf members of the Chaos Dwarf team are done. I still have five hobgoblins to finish off the team.
