Lousy smarch weather.

If there is anything you’d like to see added to painting resources in the opening comment, post away and I’ll take a look.
Been (slowly) working on an old Avatar of Khaine
It’s coming along great. I like the really wide progression of colors on his head.
Cheers, still work to do smoothing out that gradient though.
Another update on the Avatar, been working on a base for him as well.
Is he going to be sized to match the current sculpt size with that base?
Not a chance, the new one is over twice the height of this fella
That really puts it into perspective. And oh no I’m still thinking of the 2006 sculpt as “the new one”.
Quick update on genestealers for Space Hulk. Currently doing the dead marines on the bases with big chunky highlights.
Does anyone do a final coat to protect their figures? If so what type of paint do you use? I’ve noticed the paint can get damaged pretty easily after a figure is done.
Varnish. Citadel, Army Painter, and all the other hobby brands make their own.
I personally use Mr. Super Clear matte. It’s a little harder to find or more expensive, but it goes on absolutely matte which I have had problems with in the past with other brands. If I need parts of the mini to shine, I will brush on Vallejo glossy varnish afterwards where needed.
Some work in progress weapons for magnetized Space Wolf vehicles.
Been working on some Blood Raven Aggressors lately
Working on this ancient Space Wolf mini.
