Ok.. so was a bit quiet as I am working on something else at the moment... a side side project to things in the works ;) So have slowed down the batch painting.. slightly..
That being said, here are a few takings from the bench currently..
First up is 28 Raging Heroes painted up in a Catachan scheme.. done up for a friend of mine that I have painted many of these in the past ( and have some more to do as well soon ).
Some of the batch painting photos from working on them.. though am switching over to beer bottle caps as model holders as I seem to have collected quite the few of them since purchasing a beer fridge last fathers day ;)
Then I had a few characters that I decided might be worth painting up last weekend as well. First up is a slanneshi daemon princess maybe? All I was asked if I could paint it up in Slanneshi purple colors..
Then we have a Valhallian Female commander.. again color scheme was pre-determined.. but it was quite a lot of fun to paint up..
Then we have 2 commissar females also from Raging Heroes.. really starting to like these models as they are full of character here..
And last up are 3 more vehicles from bolt action..
I painted them up without markings, but weathered them up with some modelmates liquid pigments.. need to go back over the rest of the american vehicles to do the same.. it really does add something to the finished product. But without the markings they can be used for either the Japanese or Americans now..
On the bench are more vehicles as I redo the Japanese tanks here.. as well as work on my epic fail entry... so many projects... so little time...
So a great mixed entry from Kyle. Really like your slanneshi daemon princess- its a great colour and nicely rendered, - and from that to the trucks - what a hobby!
* EDIT todays minion can't count... points total amended upward from 190 to 205
Great work Kyle! Impressive work especially considering the speed at which you are pumping these out!
ReplyDeleteSeems I am slowing down a bit though considering how Martin is doing ;) But I am having fun painting up these, so that is the key point to take away though :)
DeleteI see those young ladies have been observing and copying my style ;)
ReplyDeleteNice work on an eclectic submission of figures and vehicles. Lovely work all round, especially the demon princess and commissars :)
Where do you think Raging Heroes got their inspiration Tamsin ;) Most likely big followers of your blog there ;)
DeleteJust one more thing...
DeleteYou might want to add another tag/label to the post - "boobies"
:D
Great variety pack here Kyle. My favourites are the commissars.
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter
I really liked them as well.. they were a lot of fun to paint so put a bit more time into them compared to the infantry there..
DeleteDamn fine brushwork Sir, love the purple shading on the Princess!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray.. most of the shading of the purple there was done with washes and inks over a white base.. glad you like it!
DeleteWell done for keeping going and getting a nice pile of things done. Great finishes on these and the princess really is the pick of the bunch.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think she stands out due to her colors, which is not as mute as the rest.. but was a lot of fun to paint up!
DeleteLove the pneumatic chicks with big guns and the purple princess is a staggering piece of work. I paint loads of figures to a standard I'm proud of. You paint loads of figures to a standard I aspire to. Keep up the work
ReplyDeleteThank you for that mate.. really appreciate the comment!
DeleteNice set of uh "Trucks" - yeah that's it "trucks".
ReplyDeleteThe figures are excellent and yes the actual trucks are impressive as well. Out of curiosity, did the Japanese actually capture many of this model with the AA ring? If so I will be stealing the idea.
Not sure, but the idea of them stealing yankee trucks appealed to me.. and more so now that I just finished painting up a full American force as well ;)
DeleteNow Millsy will want to recruit a squad of ladies for his Catachan Guard army - don't give the lad ideas!
ReplyDeleteInspiring stuff!
He may, he may not.. but I will not pressure him either way on that bit ;)
DeleteErm... I think I might have to hand my credit card to my wife for a couple of weeks before something bad happens.
DeletePicking my jaw up off of the floor. If your friend does not like the female catachans you need to get better friends. The demon stands out to me though stunning!
ReplyDeleteCheers Clint. I am sure he will like them ( he usually does ).. and yes the colors on the demon are quite out there indeed.. as he asked for :)
DeleteIntersting set here I am impressed.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The next ones are not as impressive as it is just more armor to add to the train here.. but will see when they all get completed..
DeleteLovely work, fast and high quality
ReplyDeleteIan
Cheers Ian.. I am trying :)
DeleteLooks like you've got all the men in your corner Kyle. Give 'em what they want and you'll own them.
ReplyDeleteSeriously this is all good stuff and very impressive. I love that Slanneshi-those purples are so soft, they're beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got in the works.
Quite a few randoms yet to come, but all armor at the moment.. but if I have all the guys, then I need to change what I am painting! :D
DeleteI have some really weird pieces yet to grace the table though.. so this should be very interesting..
You've got this girl as well :)
DeleteThe commissars are very cool and you've done a wonderful job on the purple for the daemon. Ace!
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt.. am glad to finally be getting them done up.. been sitting around the house for the past year.. Thankfully his patience is that of a saint! More to come ;)
DeleteDuring the first Challenge, I queried your Overlord Curt about the lack of female minis being presented, to which he replied in typical Curt fashion "if you want to see women figures painted for the challenge, paint them yourself!". As that is madness, I started the Sarah's Choice Awards.
ReplyDeleteYour lovely demon princess and the Commissar figures are now entrants for the highly coveted Sarah's Choice Award. (Did I mention that purple and green are my favourite colours?)
ps. Overlord and minions is it possible for you to tag Sarah's Choice?
Yep
DeleteWow, how's that for service!
DeleteMy you are quick in the minion duties! Thank you very much!
DeleteAnd thanks to all the miInions, I am enjoying the musical selections and am curious as to what Thursday will bring .....and best of all, i actually get to see Curt during these winter evenings.:)
Wow.. why thank you Sarah! I am very happy to hear that you like them so much! Though I have to say, that if there has been an absence of female figures being painted, then you are in for a treat as I have quite a few more to go yet! And some of those are quite the lookers in their uniforms.. meaning that very few of the scantily clad variety, and of a proper uniform with form and function variety! Keep an eye out for them soon ;)
DeleteJust popped back and added the "Sarah's Choice" tag to my pulp/mob wars civvies submissions as there are females in those.
DeleteThanks for the reminder Snowlady :)
Thank you Tamsin, I was contemplating whether to go back thru this years archives or not. I know Millsy has a Sarah's Choice entrant from his VBCW post last week; Margaret Graham accessorized with large gun and a very stylish (purple) skirt.
DeleteBut right now, our spoiled dogs need to go out for their afternoon constitutional!🐶🐶
Sarah's Choice tag added to back posting where appropriate
DeleteSooooo cool. I better not let my wife see this entry or she'll want to start a Raging Heroines Catachan collection of her own. (She already has an Amazon army for Warhammer Fantasy.) That Slaaneshi demon is wonderfully creepy--looks like something out of a del Toro movie. The commissars are maybe my personal favorites.
ReplyDeleteHeh. They are lovely though the resin needs a good scrub before painting. Tons of release agent left over when received. Thanks for the comments.

DeleteGreat entry - love the Daemon princess in particular.
ReplyDeleteThank you.. Seems to be a fan favourite here..
DeleteAbsolutely glorious entry Kyle! Everything about them says BUY YOUR OWN SET to me which is about the highest praise there is :-)
ReplyDeleteYes that's true
DeleteHow cool are the jungle fighters! And how freaky is the faceless Princess...
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks.. they fit in nicely with all the others I have painted for him over the years.. even if they are a bit brighter than some ;)
DeleteNice batch of work. very productive. cheers
ReplyDeleteThanks.. I try.. but its starting to slow down :D
DeleteTypically, these miniatures painted like prostitutes, but you managed to paint them as soldiers. and they look great.
ReplyDeleteYikes, quite a bit of Sci-Fi in that entry. Those raging heroines are cool, I like the blue haired ladies. I need to get on it, just recovering from a near disaster on my Epic Fail build.
ReplyDeleteI really like the trucks and the Catachan girls, but 5hat Slannesh princess is tops! Really good work all around!
