Final models for Adepticon finished

And the miniature painting binge 2015 has finished!

Last models for Adepticon have been finished, all models that needed to be have been based, all that's left now is to build the display base (have 7 days to do so) and pack everything up for the trip. My next post will probably be after the con with a report of how badly I did. But none the less, on to the pictures. (I retook the Imperatus pictures so that they wouldn't be so fuzzy.)

Painting BINGE!

Coming up on the final stretch now for Adepticon prep. Trying to paint as fast as I can without letting the quality suffer more than I can help, and I think I'm still holding up ok. After tonight I'm down to just 4 models left to paint for my expected army lists and Fluffy Bunny's commission work. But enough ramblings, on to the (in my opinion) pretty models!

Work in progress shot for "A Tale of Warmahordes" post on Privateer Press's forums.

Fane Knight Skeryth Issyen

Feral Warpwolf

Gorax

Imperatus

Manhunter (Manhuntress?)

Winterguard Joe

For some reason Imperatus' picture came out a bit fuzzy on all 4 tries I took. I'll try to retake his snapshot later. And the Manhuntress pic was taken in "super macro" mode from about 2 inches away. All attempts at that mode in the past have turned out terrible, so I'm quite happy that pic came out well.

As far as paint jobs go, I was very happy with how Joe turned out (other than the red being a bit bright on his weapon accents), the Mannhuntress's face came out better than I expected, I still think all of the Circle Orboros models look a bit goofy (the bright jade armor probably doesn't help) and Imperatus is sort of done - he's done enough to count as painted, but when I get more time this summer to come back to models I want to try some freehand on him. Odds are I'll mess the freehand up and have to repaint him again, but hey, it's worth a try.

Febuary Tale of Warmahordes

Well, I didn't get done as much as I had hoped for this month. I still have a Feral Warpwolf, 2 Blackclads, an Ironfang Kovnik and epic Sorcha sitting on the painting desk all over 70% done. However, 70% is less than 100%, so they don't get added in this month. I blame most of the slowdown on Fluffy Bunny, who gave me an entire Winterguard Infantry unit with unit attachment, rocketeers and Joe to paint. I managed all of that but Joe, and still finished a few other projects.

Megalith

Kittens in Mittens (House Shyeel Battle Mages)
The green jaspetite jade look I was going for on Megalith didn't work quite as I had hoped - it's too bright and yellow I think. After Adepticon I might try to rework the paint formula for it and repaint the circle models, I might not. We'll see how the color scheme clearcoats and looks on the tabletop first.
