TFW when you decide on a pretty original-feeling color scheme and then you realize it's just #Animorphs informing every aspect of your being.

I've wanted this team ever since I got into Warhammer Underworlds, and they were a blast to paint! Went a little Red Hulk on one and Punisher/Ghost Rider on another. Can't wait to play them!

These already had a bit of blue when I got them, so I leaned in and decided to try ash bases instead of sand. More monochromatic than I usually go for, but I'm happy with them!

It's been a while, but I just finished my Stormcoven band as supervillains! Cheshire, Doom, and Kang! I'm not a comics publisher loyalist, so 🤷🏼

Inspired by a paint job I saw searching for ideas, I am so happy with how this team turned out - even though I can see all the flaws and things that didn't turn out how I pictured.

Seemed too easy to be accidental. Crosshair was a bit of a stretch, though.

And now on Food Network, the Skinnerkin presented by The Chairman, Guy Fieri, Paula Deen, Alton Brown, and...ManBat?

Phew. This was a lot more involved than I originally planned! Green stuff, resin frames, glue-soaked tissues... but this warband ended up looking #Wicked!

Not done with the whole warband yet, but I had to share this questionable decision I made in giving Slakeslash Bernie's famous mitten. I was torn between that and MJ's sparkle glove, but I'm happy with my choice!

One of my most ambitious schemes was these petrified stormcast coming back alive. I clipped armor and cloaks for chipping, tried to freehand cracks, and most of it worked out. If I could change one thing, it'd be a clearer line at the stone-to-metal transition.

Very easy to confirm or deny...

Another sort-of on-brand paint scheme, but I got brave and tried faces with a bit more detail than I have been. I'm happy with them, but I'm not where I want to be yet!

Please look deeper than the wading pool discussion in the #TikTokBan - here is everything attached to that vote and how bipartisan that vote was. Don't let this become a "He made the trains run on time" moment!

Sometimes a cool resin and a bad prime leaves me wishing I was emotionally ready for more stylistic "finished" models...

I know tomorrow is #WIPWednesday, but I am so excited my freehand practice is paying off! Trying animal pelts and am learning how to really look at what I'm trying to recreate... which is... globs of patchy color?

Base colors on Gryselle's Arenai. Definitely not painted to look like Captain America, Green Goblin, Hela, Proxima Midnight, or Lady Deathstrike (from left to right).

Now to add shading, washes, and highlights w/o ruining them.

I'm a big fan of Citadel, Game Color, and AK - but I'd be lying if I didn't say I've used the heck out of craft smart and FolkArt paints. But one of my absolute favorites is this Cape Cod Blue Ceramcoat by Delta. Such a lovely base, such a lovely face.

#TBT to my first finished warband! As you can see, I hadn't yet decided that it was a good idea to have matching bases for the entire team...

Accidentally ended up with a double warband in my eBay bidding... went Sigmarite Brotherhood for one and Arthas/Death Knights with the other. Which do y'all prefer?
