Minivember Challenge

November has come and gone. Somehow simultaneously moving at a snail's pace and also rocketing us quickly to the end of the year. I was able to get 20/30 of the miniatures done for #minivember. The one of the goals for this project was to finish off units for Warhammer 40k that originally were painted up just for Kill Team (ie groups of two instead whole units of 5). The primary goal was to get more of the Adeptus Mechanicus finished to be able to play painted robots for Crusade. I am pretty happy with the results, I'll probably finish off the rest throughout December, I do know that Rachel wants to pick up Warhammer Underworld Direchasm next weekend, so that might jump ahead in the painting queue.

I painted up the Wave Serpent with Blight Lances, not glued on so I can swap them out for something a bit less heavy. Ran out of basing, I'll finish them of once I resupply, then I can take pictures of the whole army.

Kastelon Robots and Cybernetica Datasmith from the Apocalypse box (still have another two Robots, two more Datasmiths and a Dominus from that box to paint up). The Kataphron Destroyers were from a lot, as well as Belisarius Cawl both assembled. The Destroyers were interesting to paint up, can't imagine Cawl with all his mechatendrils being much easier to get on the table. That said, Skitarii are fast becoming one of my favourite armies to paint up, great sculpts, and lots of options for magnetizing.

Kastelon Robot want hug from Datasmith!

One of the odd one out in this painting challenge, the Dewback Rider. I equipped him with a flame thrower (instead of a melee weapon or sniper rifle) as cavalry that can melt your face off is much cooler. Gotta get the Rebellion side started one of these days, I find my biggest hurdle with them is finding a colour scheme.

Used one of the Which elves? Witch Aelves! Right the copyrightable name for them, yes! I used this one as test to figured out what colours I'd like to make the WarCry Warband. Still working on a basing for them though.

 

The remaining 10 miniatures were a bit of a hodge-podge of models, the Daughters of Khaine to finish off the WarCry Warband. Truth be told, I am a bit nervous touching the Khinerai (the fragile looking winged witches), with the only contact point to the base being a slender tail, I figured one rough brush stroke and they would snap off their base. Jain Zar to lead the Howling Banshees, once again some creative block with how to tackle her base. I had a few one armed metal Dark Eldar Wyches, so one of them will be a corpse for the base. She is also pinned to a piece of ruins to add a bit of a dynamic posing to the older model. Out of print metal daemon prince that will be doing double duty as a Daemon Prince and Be'lakor for my Slaves to Darkness Army. Last but not least, Gutrot Spume, figured I could get a few more Leaders done for Age of Sigmar, as I usually start with troops and leave the Leaders for last. 

Next on the Hobby Desk

Will be working on the Daughters of Khaine Warband as it's getting close to done. Who knows what else I might get up to at this point.
