As soon as I click on a link I get rate limited. That may need to get adjusted.

I'm doing more Tyranids this week (batch 2 from Leviathan): And this big guy if I need a pallette cleanser:

Congratulations! That Ork really is something else!

Thanks for hosting this. It was a lot of fun to have something specific to paint for.

There are a lot of PixelFed instances, this might get complicated.

I'd ask for https://miniature.photography but I'm one of only a dozen or so people who post there.

Amazing! It looks so incredibly happy to be krumpin that you just can't help but feel happy too.

Some Marines from Imperium and a Bladeguard Vet who had been waiting his turn on my shelf.

Sacresant Superior for your consideration.

The later you make this thread the more progress we've had time to make! Creates the illusion that I'm moving at a faster pace.

A pallette of all 11 different purple contrast/speed paint/dipping ink colors I have to reference as I do the new Tyranids.

The beneficiaries of the color test.

Built and primed counts as "in progress" right?

Home stretch! Last guy from this half of the box.

Basic level of spooky: Space Vampires!

Smog Singers:

The King:

The Godhand:

Atnas:

Lol, more that seeing the new guy reminded me thati had Chaplain-with-Ball-Gag at home. It's a timeless look, apparently!

Also, to answer the original question; I was in middle school and they were space marine vampires. That choice basically made itself.

Some friends for the Feudal Guardsman!

Where it started:

Lol, I had to force myself to give up helmets to need to practice faces.

It helps a lot when the heads can be painted separately so I focus only on the face. Plus I just don't do eyes unless the model really needs them because I found eyes are most of the difficulty so I only invest in it when I really need to.

Flesh contrast, flesh shade, flesh highlight is the basic recipe. Just different combinations and colors each time.

Those medals are killer. Great work, this guy is just dripping character!

Been on a summer road trip so no painting this week, but I did get a lot assembled!

Second half of Leviathan, plus the Space Marines from Indominus that have been waiting for attention.
