Almost there?

So the tomb kings are painted. Now to base and flock 140 models before I need to head out on Friday.

Is it too late to change back to Orcs?

I Still Hate Painting Skeletons

I have 80 skeletons, 35 tomb guards (fancy skeletons), 15 skeletal cavalry, and 2 bone giants almost done. I still need to get the siege models and crews painted and then the lords/heroes, and have four days to do it. I think my next army will be based on putting as few models on the table as possible.

I listened to someone last week complain about the number of models he had to paint for his army. I think the number was 65. Really? I have more than that in one unit.

I now HATE painting skeletons.

The worst part is that I'm not even done with them. The core block of warriors is 95% done. The tomb guars are about 60-70% done, and the cavalry are only base coated. Not to mention the command and artillery. 
I still have a week.

Land Raider, it's what's for dinner.

One of the few photos of my Necrons in action. Game five at the 2013 Alamo 40K GT. First, I loved my opponent's Shiner themed army. All the minis were based on Shiner beer caps. Second, the Doomscythe couldn't manage even a glance on the land raider, but the scarabs ate it right the hell up.

Next Army

Neither the paint job nor the photo are particularly good, but here you go. My next army. I plan on having them done in time for Bayou Battles in a few weeks, which is a problem, since this little guy is the only one finished. The rest of his unit is very close, but I'm waiting on green stuff to dry before I go on another base coating spree.

So Back to Minis

This represents my first attempt at using an airbrush last year. The Reikland Youngblood in front of him was painted over ten years ago and is just there for scale. Now the problem is going back and filling in the joints for the wings with green stuff and making it match the rest of the thing. Should have done it to start with but I was in a hurry to try out the air brush.

As of yet, I'm mostly using the airbrush for laying down base coats quickly and evenly. On bigger models, like the dragon or my trolls, I used it more extensively.

Yes, I Do Have Other Hobbies

I forget about this blog and then from time to time get reminded of it. I noticed this morning I claimed to be repurposing this blog for my hobbies, but I'd only posted about painting miniatures. So here. Proof I do other stuff.

Above is the beer most of my friends request when I am deciding what beer to make next. I didn't name it, but the name comes from the high alcohol contend, between 12% and 13% and the light, refreshing body and taste.
