Tiny Yellow Men

[Darren Richardson]

my projects would fit on a square. a large square. if I piled them up high.

yeah like me, the amount I need to paint, it would fit on a large square rug and still spill over.....

Your amry is looking great so far, and it's gonna looke better once you get those 3 knights made up

Thanks Darren.

I'm having a bit of a hard time to focus on just one project at a time. But hopefully, with the addition of the Knights, I can help myself focus on the 5th a bit.

Anyways..... It begins.....

[Deadlift]

Nice work. Not sure how you plan on painting those banners on the knights, but I found painting them separately, doing the transfers and then attaching them much easier

[Splatter Paint]

Very slowly and very carefully Deadlift! Haha.

Anyways, I promised pictures, and I have pictures!

Been playing around a bit with a new camera set up, and I think the pictures are a lot better. Have a look:

A little update on the House Hawkshroud project.

The 3 knights have been built, bar the armour plates, which I am leaving off for now for painting purposes.

These 3 knights will be fielded during the ETC 2015 in Prague for Team Malta, and as I am still waiting to hear which ranged weapon options they need, those have also been left off for now.

They are looking great, really liking the libby, his beard and face look amazing.

You thought you've gotten rid of me didn't you?

Well you almost did, haha. I've been very busy with my commission work, but should have a lull in the work in a week or so, so Ive been preparing some more things to go onto the painting table.

I'm very chuffed with this, my modeled objective markers, Space Marine Casualties:

I agree also that weathered warriors have a particular charm. My Iron Warriors sympathies approve with the latest update in particular.

Disaster, Panic, Apocalypse! And more of such nonsense.

So, the ETC is only 2 months away and I only realized this over the weekend. I'll be going up for team Malta ( so come say hi if you happen to be in Prague around that time ) with my little yellow b*stards. I was also roped into letting the team use my 3 Knights.... that have now found 2 friends. ( Yes, I got myself 2 Wardens to fill out an all Knights army )

So, after closing up shop, I will be racing to get my army painted for the ETC deadline, which for me is the 6th of August.

The list!

Imperial Guard Command Squad
2x10 Imperial Guard Veterans
1 Primaris Psyker
1 ..... thing..... I plan to use as the Master of the Fleet.

1 Librarian
1 Sanguinary Priest
8 Sternguard
2x Command Squad
5x5 Tactical Marines

11 Drop pods

3 Imperial Knights

12 Objective Markers.

So, quite a lot to do in 2 months, but I remain confident..... for now. The Librarian and the first 15 tactical marines have been painted, but require some finishing work.

I did get my hands on Captain A... ga.... mem.... non? from Strikeforce Ultra, and after some repairs and changes, he will be the prize at the end of the run.

I'll be updating at least twice a week, mainly to keep myself motivated!

So, without further ado, I spent my sunday afternoon playing with my airbrush and slathering on the metallics on the Knights, the first project I'm starting on.









Today I'm aiming to get the metallics on the skeletons done, so washing and highlighting it, before adding some bright brass details to break the model up a bit. Also hoping to get the armour panels primed, so I can get to work with the airbrush again later this week. Because the Knights will be yellow as well. Haha

So, Ill be doing daily updates, because I can.

The progress so far on the Knights:
