Huge progress today, I got all the details basecoated and everything washed. Fyreslayer flesh on the gold and nuln oil on everything else #hobbystreak day 601
Got the trim basecoated and painted most of the silver details #hobbystreak day 599
Got the gold trim basecoated on 2 more, definitely getting a little faster each day #hobbystreak day 598
Hey look, he has a headless buddy. But really painting all this armour trim gold is no joke, it takes 90 minutes per model #hobbystreak day 597
I finished edge highlighting the black armour on this dude and also basecoated the gold. Painstaking but rewarding #hobbystreak day 596
Continuing work on my Shadowkeepers now that I have the scheme down. I edge highlighted a LOT of dark reaper onto the next 5 #hobbystreak day 595
He's done! My first Shadowkeeper. God only knows how I'm going to replicate this on an army but we have the first one down #hobbystreak day 594
Happy to chat and answer questions. They are new models for the adeptus custodes, the weapon is a guardian spear which combines a master crafted bolter and melee weapon into one piece. Will totally admit that they are kinda lanky and thin tho (including the weapon) www.warhammer.com/en-IE/shop/l...
Corrected some small mistakes on the black armour plates and basecoated the gold. This is my practice model to figure the scheme out but I like the look of it so far. Thinking burgundy for the inside of the cloak and crimson for outside #hobbystreak day 592
I've decided to try painting shadowkeepers, a bold choice since I hate edge highlighting and I hate painting black armour, but hey I'll give it a go. Abaddon black all over, then edge highlights of dark reaper, thunderhawk blue, and fenrisian grey. All the trim will be gold #hobbystreak day 591
I primed my new custodian guard, the heads with grey seer everything else with chaos black #hobbystreak day 590
Got both lord kakophonists finished in the nick of time for a game this evening! Delighted with how they came out, I decided to do one pink and one yellow to tell them apart on the board #hobbystreak day 589
Progress, they will be ready for tomorrow but I need to let a lot of layers dry now #hobbystreak day 588
I really want to play with 2 Lord Kakophanists in my next game on Saturday so I ordered them yesterday. Arrived this morning and I built & primed them, then got started on the armour plates #hobbystreak day 587
I didn't get great pics but I played my 2nd game of 11th edition today. EC vs Eldar. Highlight of the game was Fulgrim and the Avatar cross killing each other on turn 2, really dramatic and fun. Also damn noise marines are SICK 🎵 #hobbystreak day 586
Built the rest of the spear custodes box, the helmets and heads are separate in the little plastic bag #hobbystreak day 585
Still too hot to paint, built 3 of the new custodes instead #hobbystreak day 584
I lied, it's too hot and muggy so I'm taking a break from painting and assembled the new custodes shield captain. Helmet on because I'm hopeless at painting faces #hobbystreak day 583
Got this far with the black legion, we'll do more tomorrow #hobbystreak day 582
50/50 mix of contrast medium and iyanden yellow to start #hobbystreak day 581
2 thin coats of grey seer on all the spots missed by the spray paint. This step is always a huge pain. I removed the jump packs and sprayed them black separately #hobbystreak day 580
Played my first game of 11th edition 40k and had a fantastic time. Lysander killed both Belial and the Lion, so even though I lost in the end I managed to scrape a moral victory! #hobbystreak day 579
Darnath Lysander, the Fist of Dorn complete and ready for my first game of 11th edition tomorrow! #hobbystreak day 578
He really got to the villain part at a ridiculously early stage of his career. Must be a record holder
Lots of work done today, decided to make the armour stabilisers black, deepened the yellow, painted and washed all the metaiics #hobbystreak day 575
It's everyone's fav day - edge highlighting yellowwwwwwww #hobbystreak day 574
