Speedpaint is just satisfying to use. I am a long way off from having enough models for a Hail Caesar game, but progress is being made. Now the questing is whether I keep painting models for this army, or I start my Italian wars Pike and Shotte army. The temptation is to just flitter around like a magpie. <p></p>John Stieninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-813199225691972622024-02-17T10:04:00.001-07:002024-02-17T10:04:11.921-07:00Warhammer The Old World Empire Cannons<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6sqkYkNvM4Iw9ELaiIKgZV_GWnt2Z92x3oyh80K1-0E3o4QeOUX0qlA0g1GX3qzXbYedcNVpiriV_FoQgShZUmdtTpveXoF2El_SrvTd2rzyZu3u41z7RVRzxcqYd8fq6JV_ri6wBgju2hNt44gvtJ_uIKvXx2oa7cp6ApJ2r6RqziCBi9zNKjylINcxw/s1897/427873289_7278719438861256_7082943176000969545_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="1897" height="108" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6sqkYkNvM4Iw9ELaiIKgZV_GWnt2Z92x3oyh80K1-0E3o4QeOUX0qlA0g1GX3qzXbYedcNVpiriV_FoQgShZUmdtTpveXoF2El_SrvTd2rzyZu3u41z7RVRzxcqYd8fq6JV_ri6wBgju2hNt44gvtJ_uIKvXx2oa7cp6ApJ2r6RqziCBi9zNKjylINcxw/s320/427873289_7278719438861256_7082943176000969545_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>With my Bretonnian army completed, I started working on the Empire of Man. It looks like GW borrowed the asthetic heavily from the German Landsknecht forces of the 1500s, so I painted accordingly. I wish I hadn't used purple since that was not common, but it was within reach so it got used.

After that I get to tackle oils. I'm really looking forward to that phase, but till then....chipping...chip chip chipping.. </div><br /> <p></p>John Stieninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-17881737159720430382021-06-25T10:15:00.002-07:002021-06-25T10:15:39.508-07:00Basing With Dirt<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0tEAn6yNRtmn11x1HbOiniUIZLwxnIGxxS6oiP27LgzXEkEer1J0gxEQe3Im0QtG_YwTJnGXkOKXMtQ2yuXlDoiouUdqvKG-E6wz4JqsY7UapXC5GvYYyZHWem6VXORpSJdp5LfdHDDJ2/s960/202623200_977492069672799_3689365692550751646_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="930" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0tEAn6yNRtmn11x1HbOiniUIZLwxnIGxxS6oiP27LgzXEkEer1J0gxEQe3Im0QtG_YwTJnGXkOKXMtQ2yuXlDoiouUdqvKG-E6wz4JqsY7UapXC5GvYYyZHWem6VXORpSJdp5LfdHDDJ2/s320/202623200_977492069672799_3689365692550751646_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEolIz9ym8WHEP6BKfwins-SPmFZrMvoqYvsQlB0NNyxRWZfpJ9Eb3h_BkX2ZS6zYBsmjjqOzWdzJyO1BnQOUh-5-26O3tQ403nrr12kRuqZbaWSckfO57DrTLItf5ln5bfPQGcEClzBrW/s960/202412179_977492026339470_6742033844576801963_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="936" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEolIz9ym8WHEP6BKfwins-SPmFZrMvoqYvsQlB0NNyxRWZfpJ9Eb3h_BkX2ZS6zYBsmjjqOzWdzJyO1BnQOUh-5-26O3tQ403nrr12kRuqZbaWSckfO57DrTLItf5ln5bfPQGcEClzBrW/s320/202412179_977492026339470_6742033844576801963_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi16uGspsn11EGQ4pNfSDHBS_IG_omhiFdfyVqyVBVYSE0yHFV_aEXZsQdmM-zh_G-uOK0Nf4V_VGXJT3hRtxZPs7tC5o2fSIWamjzbQNe97Q-nlI7H3bC0tPocVJ8I-c3o0QtXBUZ2ms2p/s960/201927429_977492036339469_6154007876040837018_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="836" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi16uGspsn11EGQ4pNfSDHBS_IG_omhiFdfyVqyVBVYSE0yHFV_aEXZsQdmM-zh_G-uOK0Nf4V_VGXJT3hRtxZPs7tC5o2fSIWamjzbQNe97Q-nlI7H3bC0tPocVJ8I-c3o0QtXBUZ2ms2p/s320/201927429_977492036339469_6154007876040837018_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHTB2_JXHfEmPIaFijHpRAesGGtEdU-u7dYfcLpo9FErMFBouFKSjNxKFR5manNk8FScNNyPMwV_kwqFf7S8NbJMIx3c86wKO7ixHY0AQzKqTl6-kR0bkVHFr0SgJ3K-DW_gom4zf9wYct/s960/201782455_977492076339465_299709224944296039_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="902" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHTB2_JXHfEmPIaFijHpRAesGGtEdU-u7dYfcLpo9FErMFBouFKSjNxKFR5manNk8FScNNyPMwV_kwqFf7S8NbJMIx3c86wKO7ixHY0AQzKqTl6-kR0bkVHFr0SgJ3K-DW_gom4zf9wYct/s320/201782455_977492076339465_299709224944296039_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Sometimes the laziest method works surprisingly well. After completing most of my Praetorians, I turned my attention to basing them. I had initially planned on making new scenic bases and casting them. I even started the process of doing that. Then inspiration struck. I live in a desert. My guard live in a desert. Let's just crab some dirt from outside and super glue it down. I'm surprised by how much I like it. The test base looks pretty good to my eyes. I think I'll add more rubble and junk to the bases, but with just a few tufts only these work.

Light here in Arizona is rather intense, so my usual practice of just taking photos from my desk won't work any longer. I think that is a small price to pay to live in this beautiful desert.

I'm very rusty, but I'm having a blast painting these guys. I thought the commissar was the commander, so I painted him up really un-commissary...er un-murder-deathy. <p></p><p>Now the big question becomes whether I can accumulate enough to field these guys in an actual force. I think I can scrape together two infantry squads, a command squad, and maybe two weapon team squads. Is that enough? I have no idea how Guard work in 9th, or how an army is even put together. What I do know is that these guys need a single suitable FW ww1 styled tank to accompany them. Which variant should I pick? I guess the easy path is the pick the most WW1 looking tank possible. </p>John Stieninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-14545628125252463942021-03-30T11:28:00.003-07:002021-03-30T11:28:39.921-07:00Praetorian Guard<p> <br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRvIh3J-mziM2Asm1rhRxKpuuQGLJpUuWB5EAN7Wn1_td5i8_xYHhrf1JolVRkS7JEhQkyV6Qzkc-OUratJ_DI0U0HgaoJEuGZEOZ9mH9SoGDGE9kLMqKZs3FSfJD3Xh0aXi0f3_t-qJ4o/s706/IMG_4315.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="706" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRvIh3J-mziM2Asm1rhRxKpuuQGLJpUuWB5EAN7Wn1_td5i8_xYHhrf1JolVRkS7JEhQkyV6Qzkc-OUratJ_DI0U0HgaoJEuGZEOZ9mH9SoGDGE9kLMqKZs3FSfJD3Xh0aXi0f3_t-qJ4o/s320/IMG_4315.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLfbo2QNblMlBj2BoI9RwHCTvKC0oLV2hDEgjEtcyLIKWBO5p8yiFavbUrP_QFkzqG5jlEbgtK0rgzkv0Rll9ddVj2wnXd_6j0DKiB2O7Fmglrcnf7Hlr6cYJR71RqPQbwgNrOSiLzG6Ky/s352/IMG_4313.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="352" data-original-width="341" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLfbo2QNblMlBj2BoI9RwHCTvKC0oLV2hDEgjEtcyLIKWBO5p8yiFavbUrP_QFkzqG5jlEbgtK0rgzkv0Rll9ddVj2wnXd_6j0DKiB2O7Fmglrcnf7Hlr6cYJR71RqPQbwgNrOSiLzG6Ky/s320/IMG_4313.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient 40k models are lumpy, small, and fun.

At this point I've unpacked hundreds of models, assembled the cabinets, and begun the long process of repairing what was damaged over many months in storage. So far things have arrive in pretty good shape. The most damage occurred due to the extreme heat here in Arizona and forgeword resin warping. Given our new desert environment, I had to grab some of my old bases and give them a try on these guys. I really like how this sets them off. Mymeara are traditionally on snow bases due to their fantastic artwork, but I think I'll stick with these. It was a nice way to dabble in the hobby while busy with home renovation. </p><p>and now this.....</p><p>The appalling behavior of many Americans in the wargaming community soured the hobby for me. The parroting of election falsehoods, racism, and pure unadulterated fascism on display have been eye opening. I won't game with a Trump supporter. I won't attend an event run by a Trump supporter. They have had far too much time to grok the evil that man perpetrated with the aid of most Republicans. </p><p>I don't know when it will be safe for people to game again, and I find it appalling that people are hosting tournaments here in the US, but when that time comes, at least I'll know who not to game with. In the mean time, let's try to keep our parents, grand parents, and vulnerable alive.</p><p>To everyone who takes the pandemic seriously now, I salute you. Hunker down and bide your time. By doing that we save lives. Patriotism, isn't a uniform or flag cape. It is sacrificing so other's might live. </p>John Stieninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-56389707714014144552020-05-02T09:24:00.001-07:002020-05-02T09:24:12.604-07:00Eldar Cobra Type II WIP 2<br />

Endless gem work continues......much like this necessary lock down. The plan was to add buff colored rain marks to these hulls using oil. We'll have to wait and see if I can bring myself to do it. That step is still a ways off though, as I need to finish the rest of the models before I tackle basing and weathering.John Stieninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.com143tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-87927242378680134842020-04-30T12:36:00.001-07:002020-04-30T12:36:34.322-07:00There's a Cobra On My Desk!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Gem work...more gem work. I decided to sort of rough in the gems quickly in order to make them stand out from the model. This will help me as I smooth out the blends because...I should be able to spot them. The gun barrel will get gems as well. I just couldn't bring myself to start it at the same time as the main body.<br />

I think this is looking cool. I need to find a place to store this army. Having it sitting on my desk for weeks on end is beginning to drag on me. I think that might amplify the weird loss of time that comes with stay at home orders. I barely know what day it is anymore. I hope everyone is holding up well enough.John Stieninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-33720935641449072082020-04-18T05:22:00.001-07:002020-04-18T05:22:38.826-07:00Ebay Salvage Model Craftworld Mymeara Lnyx WIP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This model came to me 'expertly painted'. Naturally, I dunked it in simple green and scrubbed off all the offending paint and glue. The transparent canopy provided some difficulty though. It was painted over and had loads of super glue all over the inside. Fortunately, I think this old Forgeworld model is saved. There are still a lot of parts unpainted on it, but it is getting there, and I'm happy to have this super heavy titan killer flying again.John Stieninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-5535156008008458952020-04-17T08:34:00.001-07:002020-04-17T08:34:23.975-07:00Craftworld Mymeara Eldar Hornet WIP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This has to be one of Forgeworld's best models. It really nails what I think the eldar aesthetic is. This is just a WIP. I went a little more vibrant on this guy by accident, but I am liking the result. At some point I will spend an entire day highlighting the bottom of paint chips, but not today.John Stieninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-28062308712894202222020-04-10T04:44:00.000-07:002020-04-10T04:44:55.947-07:00Still Painting Gems<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The great gem painting fest continues. While these guys are still not finished, at least they have a first pass at painting gems. It may be time to switch it up and put the angry orange gems on the white weapon areas for a while. Or maybe I should finish working with the enamels. No matter what I decide to do, I'm still really excited about this force. I even managed to snag two cool forgeworld models off of eBay to augment it. One of those is soaking a bath of Simple Green at this very moment. The other little 'gem' of model is primed and waiting. Normally I would like to finish a model before moving onto another one, but I think I need to paint the newest edition. So that is next.

There are so many gems on these models. At least I thin I have my final gem cocktail recipe done. I can now paint these relatively quickly, which is a vast improvement in the earlier gems. So, do I go back and repainted all the previous ones.....Hell no!

Since I'm painting these fast, I've been cutting corners. One of the things I wish I had done was spray a layer of solvent over the paint job before continuing. This is an old military modeler's trick that smooths out the surface. It basically melts the orange peel effect away that comes from airbrushing, producing a perfectly flat surface.<br />

Painting fast and loose can be a load of fun. This is still an early WIP, but I wanted to do a side by side to see how close my color scheme was to the Forgeworld one. I'm very happy with the results. My grey-lining isn't great, but like I've said before...fast and easy. I'm focusing on the parts I like and sort of slopping through the parts I don't like. Wise? No. Relaxing? Yes...absolutely!John Stieninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-9869733533479332612020-03-30T07:22:00.000-07:002020-03-30T07:22:00.076-07:00Eldar Support Platform Mymeara<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the first phase of chipping. The next phase is to go back and highlight the under side of each chip. Since I'm painting these eldar without a plan, I may or may not finish the chips here. It all depends on how I'm feeling. One day I might wake up and decide it is chipping day. Another day I might wake up and decide I want to hurry up and block the rest of the color in. On still another day I might want to do cleanup. At the moment....I really want to go outside. I won't do that.

Just a quick update on the force. I'm starting to feel much better. These were painted in bulk. Some parts are good, some parts suck. I'm just fine with that. I think the platforms will at least look good. I made the mistake of using GW white scar air, and will never do that again. That paint is basically chalk!<br />
