Fred - 2017 Painting Diary

Thanks

30k Imperial Fists

Did a quick bit of finishing off of these tanks - mainly tidying up missed bits of yellow, and dry brushing gun metal on the bolters, and grey on the tracks.



For the Tyranid floating spores highlighted the red.

Very nice indeed, Forbes !!

I really like the buildings.   Especially the simple but not boring color scheme.

[fred.]

Thanks, they do seem to have come out well, and very quickly.

Had a bit of a think about what painting I could progress that would get me units on the table, that would add to current armies or quickly make playable ones.

This was the rather long list that I came up with:

Farm animals
Beastmen
Squat AA guns, rhinos
Nid Warriors, carnifex
Marine tracks
Hedges
Trident realms - crossbows and bolt throwers
LoA cannon and commanders
Araby archers and crossbows
Lizardmen basing, flyers

These are probably in order of likelihood of happening.

As to this year's aims. Well I'm not certain, 6mm sci fi and LoA should continue. More terrain feels sensible. But there are a lot of unpainted figures sitting around.

I'm going to be selling a painted Kraytonian army, a painted Pax Arcadian army and an unpainted Andrayan Army in the new year. There will also be quite a bit of sci-fi terrain going up for grabs too.

What scale old chap?

Anyone know if Dark Realm Miniatures are still in business? There's a new looking website that doesn't seem to work and their figures seem to be vanishing from other companies webstores. Was after a few more Skyth just wondering if I need to start scouring EBay or if I'm missing an obvious alternate website - perhaps my Google-fu is not what it once was.

[fred.]

Nosher - I could certainly be tempted by some of those.

Lemmy the models are 6mm from DRM, hence Ithoriel's post

I last bought from DRM  in Feb. And I'm not sure what is  going on with their website, the old one was a bit odd, but worked and had photos, the new one seems very incomplete. Have you dropped Doug an email? It would be a shame if they have gone, as they have some nice stuff.

I tried buying from DRM but their PayPal didn't work!
All I wanted was a snipe pack so I could do a couple of stands!

Do you have an email address to hand? If not, I'll rummage online and see what I can find. Thanks.

Hello ml
