It has been a long time since I posted on here, but anyway... Here is my new Tau Empire Pathfinders code named "Ghost Wind" for Warhammer 40k Kill Team.

Konflikt 47 - British 12th Automation Company

British 12th Automation Company pushes through an abandoned German railway yard. The enemy fled at the mighty sight!

Star Wars: Legion - Luke Skywalker

My second finished miniature of 2021 is none other than Commander Luke Skywalker for Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars: Legion.

Like my Rancor, I followed Sorastro's painting guide. I am really happy with the end result, although the clothing is a little darker than I would have liked. I'm not overly keen on my OSL (Object Source Lighting) of the Lightsabre on his face, but I can live with it.

His face took some time and even though I followed the guide, I still struggled. I plan to concor face and skin tones this year!

Seeing as this is the angle I will mostly be looking at on the tabletop, I'm pleased.

He looks pretty cool.

Here's a close up of the face. The eyes came out pretty good, this distracts you from the rest of the face lol.

As they say, it's all about faces and bases. I have based him to match the rest of my Rebels (Well, my only other finished Rebel mini, AT-RT), and my Imperials.

And here is is, facing off against a Rancor.

I hope you liked the post. Please like and share!

Happy Hobby Time Folks.

Star Wars Imperial Assault Rancor

So here it is, my first completed (not so) miniature of the year. My Star Wars: Imperial Assault - Rancor.

This was really fine to paint and I learnt a few different techniques along the way. I tried my best to follow Sorastro's painting guide found here.

I'm going to use it for custom mission in Star Wars: Legion too. I found a stat card in the Internet to use with it. Please comment who to credit if you know.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures!

Thanks for reading.

Rancor nearly done

I have made a little progress on the Star Wars: Imperial Assault Rancor. I've completed the highlights and given it a varnish to get rid of the shine the washes left.

I have started work on the base, this will look kind of like a swamp when I have finished. I've been following Sorastaros guide for this mini. His work is awesome!

A few things from my huge bits box has come in handy. I think it will be finished by next weekend.

Happy hobby time folks.

It's Rancor Time

I've cleaned my paint station, organised my paints and I have made a start. Todays post sees the first bit of paint on my Star Wars: Imperial Assault Rancor!

I did have a little bit of a rough start. I undercoated it about 8 months ago and when I went to pop some paint on... Disaster! The oils form the plastic had started to come through, so the paint would not take. I quickly (in the dark) 7pm ran out to the garage and gave it another zenith undercoat. And that worked.

I am following Sorastos painting guide for this. I'm easing myself back into painting and wanted to start with something fun. First bit was the mouth and tongue.

I then spent a good amount of time wet blending the base coat. This consisted of several colours with some Vallejo Glaze Medium to slow the drying time.

Now I just need to wait an age for it to dry!

Tomorrow will see some dry brushing and washes. It does not look like much now, but it should start coming together soon.

Please follow and share this blog... There is more to come!

Happy hobby time folks.
