Been dealing with my father's health and mostly posting to Tiktok but I'm still alive lol

Here's some recent fun 🙃
Fun with Warhammer 40000 Poxwalkers, the blue glows under UV :D Picked up a Chaos Sorcerer in Terminator Armour a while back and finally started putting him together New paint organizing setup One of my more grimdark Plague Marines using diluted speedpaints over metallic paints to get a different look

Finished a marine and put him in the pile, love the way my Death Guard warband has come together. Think the sassy nurgling in the FDM tank could proxy as my fourth Myphitic Blight-Hauler?

Crossed the rainbow bridge exactly a week ago at this time...

My dearly departed cat the Grand Duchess Squeak, gone and fondly remembered after a good life. Deeply missed. There will be others but none like her.

Some productive painting from May.

Been a hard month, lost my shadow when my cat crossed the rainbow bridge. Dad almost died due to COVID and then Parainfluenza. Sibling lost her 2 dogs to old age. 1st responder to neighbor's suicide attempt

Great stream, here's the fireman lol

Just messing around with contrast over white aluminum Vallejo, can't believe how pigment dense the bad moon yellow is even diluted 4:1 with medium.

I hope people see this and post what they might have been working on during the stream :)

WIP using greenstuff, chopped down skulls from the Citadel Skulls box, and a lot of texture paints to make a nice crusty Death Guard conversion of a Horus Heresy Rhino. Using inks and Speedpaint, mixed with metallics through an airbrush to get the look down.

I love my stinky guys, working on an alternative armor look with metallic paint instead of the more flat ceramic/terracotta vibe I usually do.

Posted a quoted part of the thread but then realized I should respond in the original 🤣😅
WH40K Knight Castellan commission I did for a regular client. I did this guy and a Khornate knight and they're probably my favorite mecha I've painted

There's so many awesome paint jobs in this thread!

Always loved the Genestealer Cult, got this guy second hand, stripped off all the old primer & cleaned up all the lines and marks, and painted it as a gift for a friend to match his Tyranid army.

Gotta love fluoro paints and some Speedpaint/Contrast for quick distinctive poxwalker squads

#paintingwarhammer #paintingminis #nerdlings #deathguard #poxwalkers
Two tone Poxwalker for Warhammer 40000 using a mix of fluorescencent yellow and violet, with high flow ink style paints (Army Painter Speedpaint) to add some detail.

A bit more of a glamour shot for the Captain.

Lowered the lighting to lose the glare, set the exposure to 1/20s @ 100 iso with Open Camera, and then cut out the background with the Photoroom app. Years of product photography have paid off for this lol

#paintingminiatures #bloodangels
A Warhammer 40000 Blood Angels Captain work in progress paint job. Tomorrow I'll start highlighting the cloak and working on the tabard. Still not sure about the colour for the tabard but I may go with black.

A couple metal highlights and I fixed the chest. A few steps closer, but still way more to go on the cloth, leather, seals, and the pistol glow.

My Kill Team starter is moving along nicely, doing up some Blood Angels though I'll be changing the gold eagle on the captain to silver and do his cords in gold instead I think.
