It’s a crew round-up post! With this, the fourth demo crew is complete despite accidentally painting models for an initial crew that had some superfluous equipment and didn’t do what I thought it would. Thankfully, a bit of reworking was pretty simple, and with the addition of some very expensive…

Today’s post is actually going to be more interesting than usual, because we’re finally out of the well-worn recipes and heading into something a lot more interesting. This also happens to be the Leader of my Shadows crew, who are remarkably complicated to explain and therefore one of the worst…

We’re looking at Shadows again today, as here I get to discuss a bit about some of the more entertaining ways that they get to break the basic assumptions of the game itself. Unfortunately for me, this also meant that my usual tricks for working with the human form weren’t…

Plenty of painting been happening lately – note-taking via blogging is kind of like keeping a journal that the public internet can, in theory, find and comment on, but considering the extreme niche of this particular blog, I doubt this is for anyone other than the people I’ve linked it…

While I’m still fairly sick, I was better enough to lock in a bit and get a bunch of painting done today as well. I’m skipping around a bit in projects and I suspect I might need to take a break from painting minis to do some other hobby-related items,…

Today marks the official start of painting models for my Shadows crew. While I’d like to say I was incredibly efficient and accomplished a lot, the truth is that I wanted to first try out how to get that ‘ethereal’ look by working on a couple of Wisps, and I…
