Today I finished my largest mini to-date. The Ork Kill Rig was a lot of painting and sub-assembly painting. However, I'm reasonably happy with the results.
Starboard side view of the rig with a large orange-ish squig pulling it. Reds, browns, metallics, yellows, and blues all contrast with the green Ork crew. A close-up of the big squig. She is churning up the ground to pull the rig at high speeds. A close-up of the Wyrrboy who has some Woad-inspired paint on his face, chest, and arms. Closer starboard side view of the rig with a large orange-ish squig pulling it. Reds, browns, metallics, yellows, and blues all contrast with the green Ork crew.

Here is my first Ork Beastboss painted and ready. He's clearly recently killed a Necron, based on the face near his feet.

#paintingwarhammer #orks #nerdlings #minipainting #warhammer #warhammercommunity
Rear view of the Beastboss showing off the scaled hide battle skirt in blues and greens and the electronic cable with a yellow and black stripe. Slightly above shot of the Beastboss where some of the detail on his hair, the tusks on his armor, and his armor itself can be seen. While he is green, his overall appearance is browns and metallics. Direct front view of the Beastboss. He wears a mishmash of armor and pelts of various animals he has presumably killed. He wields a large, toothed sword and had an electronic jaw on the other hand. The mini has lots of different colors including 4 different metallics.

Hannah sent me this Chaos Space Marine to try out painting one. I decided to paint it in the style of my homebrew Chaos warband - The Heralds of the Inky Shadow.

#minipainting #warhammer #40k #miniatures #nerdlings #paintingwarhammer
The Chaos marine from the front in cold grey with two sickly, black hands and tendrils poking out. The Chaos marine from the left where the helmet of a fallen Space Marine (or maybe Word Bearer) lies on the ground. The Chaos marine from behind where the inky shadow attached to the marine drags on the ground and sticks in places to the marine. The Chaos marine from the right. The attached inky shadow sticks to this elbow. The only white on the mini is a cloth on the right arm.

Here is my Finished Stormcast Knight Judicator with Gryph Hounds. Bird Doggies!
The Judicator is named Gozen.

#warhammer #ageofsigmar #nerdlings #paintingminiatures #miniatures #stormcast
Gozen the long bow archer aims down range while her faithful hounds bound forward. Gozen is mainly wearing gold and dark purple. Gozen the archer from behind where the freehanded Lion sigil is seen on the dark purple cape. Gozen's bird doggies are in front and back of her. They are mainly browns. This shot focuses more on the gryph hounds with Gozen in the background. One hound, with an orange ruff, appears to be jumping up. The other hound appears to be landing. Both are mainly brown with dark heads.

I have finished my second Doomstalker. I noticed relatively few people do anything with interesting included terrain piece looking like a large vat. Not I.

#necrons #warhammer #warhammer40k #minipainting #warhammercommunity #nerdlings
A rear view of the 4 legged walker with the giant top cannon. This view shows the grass tufts growing out of the joints of one leg. Also visible is the little goo-covered rat man on the ground. A purple goo-covered rat man yells at a four legged robot walker that has smashed the bio vat that held him. The walker does not care. It is painted to look like a tree roughly. This view of the walker best emphasizes the large top cannon. The robotic head mounted below this cannon also faces the camera in this shot. The cannon is painted and medium green and is one of the few parts that are slick with an oily residue.

My latest Necron Warriors added to my small Necron force. The terrain is my attempt to learn how to use sprue goo and silicone molds.

#necrons #warhammer #paintingwarhammer #paintingminis #nerdlings #40k
Ten robotic skeletal warriors. Mostly done in dark metallics. The weapon held by each is bright gold with blue accents. Bases show grass and dirt. Four have other basing elements from spare sprue and molds. Some have grass or plants growing out of them.

The blue themed Reclusian up close. He carries two axes. He has some gold and silver highlights with his mainly blue armor. His memorian swings an incense ball. The copper themed Reclusian up close. Their crown piece is done in metallic orange to emulate firey hair. The memorian holds a flaming staff. The silver themed Reclusian up close with Memorian holding flaming scales.

Finished the Reclusians with their Memorians
#nerdlings #warhammer #warhammercommunity #minipainting #miniatures
Front view of 3 armored warriors in blue, copper, and silver armor themes. Each holds an axe, with one holding two. To the left of each warrior is a normal human in a robe carrying some manner of religious firy object. A rear view of the 3 armored warriors and the robed human attendants. The capes were made by sponging paint to try and give them a more fabric appearance.

My first attempt at an ink wash turned into the green Liberator pictured on the left.
Five Stormcast Liberators with tall shields and warhammers. The post highlights the second to the left that has dried a pale green over most of its body as a result of ink wash. The other minis vary in color from blue gem to Green Lantern homage to Colossus of the X-Men homage.

Lord Veritant, Lord Terminos, Knight Questor, and Gryph Crow painted and based. Stormcast are coming together.

The four minis from the front. Blue, purple, copper, silver, and gold are the dominant colors. The gryph crow is black and grey with a copper helmet. The backs of the 4 minis. The capes were done with a new technique with sponges to add highlights at the places where the cloth would fold. Two minis hold flaming torches. Lord Terminos up close where his light blue glowing eyes are more obvious. He holds a huge silver battle axe. He wears a blue cloak with tarnished copper armor. The Lord Veritant and his pet Gryph Crow. The Lord Veritant has a pale white-grey blindfold on.

One more in the unit. His shield was painted by my kid.
Light blue and more silver accents this Liberator. A skull sits on a stone path at his feet. He hefts his hammer in a neutral position.

Here is my second unit of Liberators. They represent an interesting opportunity to consider my growth as a painter in the past few months.

#warhammer #ageofsigmar #stormcast #nerdlings #minipainting
Leader of the Liberators has a unique helmet with purple and pink horsehair. His shield is also more elaborate. His hammer features blue rather than purple. This Liberator has suffered a past injury to his right eye which is shown by gouges in his helmet. He is mostly in gold with some silver, copper, and purple. This Liberator has had his helmet knocked from his head, leaving a trail of blood as it rests at his feet. He is armed with a two-handed great hammer. He has an angry expression on a bearded face. This Liberator has the cleanest armor of the unit, likely the rookie. He has a bronze face on his shield and a few link highlights amongst his gold and silver armor.
