Trying out a new sept scheme for some proxy stealth suits on my painting desk.

#40k #killteam #minipainting #paintingminis #t'au #warhammer40k
3 painted miniatures - 2 Warhammer 40,000 T'au drones, and a (non-GW) proxy homing beacon.

The last of my Archon minis (for now) - This time its Thos the Young Dragon.

This one was mostly an exercise in airbrushing, and I definitely need the practice!

Another couple of the Archon Studios minis I picked up at UKGE this year - a pair of Runic Golems.

Part of my "I'll use them for D&D one day, I swear" collection.

Just getting round to painting my deathrattle box, and settling on a paint scheme I can do for 47 (!?!) miniatures.

My first oil wash, but that was surprisingly easy and effective.

Done with my FEC painting for now - what a noble bunch of huntsmen, and even an appearance by a noble paladin.

Finished off the Grymwatch - While its quite a simple scheme, I'm very pleased with it coming out how I pictured it in my head.

As a follow-up to my farstalkers - my kroot war shaper (and part-time kill-broker proxy), definitely happy with how the cloak turned out.

A bit of a rescue job on my kroot farstalkers I seriously rushed last year - I'm pretty happy with the improvement, even if they aren't perfect still.

Here's some owlbears I got at UKGE this year, from Archon Studios (a nice free bonus when I impulse-brought a bunch of the HOMM3 board game) - been a while since I painted something not from GW.

I've been a bit out of the habit of mini-painting after developing a Satisfactory habit lately, but its been good to get back into the swing of it with these broodkin.

Finally finished off my Volkus scenery - I'd meant it to be much simpler, but it kept being "just one more thing". Still, I really like the results.

My actually finished riptide - Quite happy with how clean it ended up, though edge highlighting is a bit of a chore!

I've been struggling to do work out something interesting to do with these, but I'm fairly happy with the end result. Also a progress picture of my attempts over the last couple of years.

Just finished my Tempestus Aquilons last night - definitely a quicker paint scheme than I usually do, but effective (I hope!). Heavily inspired by a Reddit post.

Some Kruleboyz I haven't had a chance to actually play with yet. The partial spike-ectomy was mostly accidental, but I think I prefer the effect.

One from last year, seeing as I've been busy with non-hobby stuff.

Some Kommandos sneaking around in the night (though also an excuse for some airbrush practice).

Nyaaaaah!

Some of my favourite models I've painted lately - they're just very... skeletony.

Models are Sepulchral Guard for Warhammer Underworlds (though I'll probably just use them for D&D).
