I painted these for use in Warcry. I expected Mannok Da Kunnin’s face to be difficult to paint given the metal basket around his head but it actually wasn’t so bad

It Came from the Lightbox: Sylvaneth Spearhead
Breaking my catch-up of unposted painted model picks: I finished these guys yesterday and got them into the lightbox this morning.
Got a bug up my butt about the leaves looking kind of elm-y and that elms have a beautiful golden yellow in autumn… and with as frigid as it’s been the last few weeks it was tough to think about painting these green and spring-like. So: autumnal.
I’m quite happy with how they came out, though getting that golden yellow took many, many, many coats. I think the results are worth it, though.
Very displeased with the models themselves, however: all those branches and arrows are incredibly fragile. If you look closely you can see all bits that broke off while painting them.
It Came from the Lightbox: Gnomes (Gloomspite Spearhead)
Warp Miniatures makes these magnificent gnomes and I’ve had them for a while. We’ve started playing a lot of Spearhead at the game store, so I got a bug to print off enough to counts-as them as the Gloomspite Gitz spearhead and paint them up.
I’m quite happy with them! I’m looking forward to printing off and painting their Mouse Cavalry to run as the new Gitmob spearhead, once we know what’s in it (and my printer is fixed).
Here’s a photo in front of a black background because I’m still playing around with that.
I want to note that I did paint these little fellas’ eyes because yes. I gave them pink, magenta eyes because they’re magical little forest fairies.
And I used fluorescents so that, in the right circumstances, they’ll glow with sinister menace…
It Came from the Lightbox: Evil Horde
I’ve had these since they came out (and the rest of the line should be shipping soon?), but have put off painting them because the Horde is my favorite line in MOTU, as my shelfie will attest. I don’t know why I decided to rip the bandaid off, but I’m glad I did: I don’t think these look as good as my Masters of the Universe or Evil Warriors but I’m still happy with them.
I was very concerned about how Scorpia would come out. Painting makeup is hard! The point of it is to make features more extreme, but doing it on a mini… it’s easier to just make the model look like the Joker than like a human being with makeup. I don’t know that it shows terribly well in this photo but it came out looking really, really good.
It Came from the Lightbox: Teratic Cohort
Had such a good time painting Kainen’s Reapers, I picked up the Warcry warband (and I had such a good time painting these I picked up the Vanguard.
It Came from the Lightbox: More Cyberpunk Combat Zone
I knocked out the Arasaka Downsizers box to supplement the Arasaka I’d painted previously.
Also did a couple of mercs, some selected entirely because I’d put off assembling them until the end: those crab drones needed pinning into the base, and that media drone needed a clean acrylic flight stand. Noodle chef was because I was already painting white ninjas. Krampus was because t’was the season.
It Came from the Lightbox: More Stormcast
Spearhead’s been seeing some action at the store for the past few months, so I knocked out a Thunderstrike Chariot because, given my existing set of painted Stormcast, it was the only model* I needed to paint to be able to field a fully painted Stormcast army.
* If James Workshop didn’t want me to proxy my everyone-has-a-bunch-of-them Vindictors for not-everyone-has-a-bunch-of Vanquishers he’d have kept the Spearhead to Vindictors.
This gives me a fully painted Yndrasta’s Spearhead!
It Came from the Lightbox: TAG Raid
I’ve been making huge progress on getting TAG Raid!
I channeled my enthusiasm for Infinity into trying to get the box fully painted, and I’m almost there!
I’m currently slogging my way through the Scenery Pack (which honestly has felt like a HUGE chore) and the Stoorwurm; that’s as fad as I’ll take it for now. I’ll still have 2 more Megabeasts (which I’ll paint if I ever get the game to table) and the Morats (which I’ll paint after I “solve” how I want to paint the new Morat sculpts) to finish.
I missed the hunters when I painted the Nomads and Ariadnan forces, so I had to catch them up when I did the Minerbots and Van Zandt (hence the updated photos).
It Came from the Lightbox: Combined Army
In getting ready to head to NOVA, I realized I had a few unpainted gaps in what I planned to bring, so I filled those… and then kept going a bit further. I still have more OCF to paint before I have the entire sectorial painted, but at this point it’s just Exrah (blocked while waiting on a replacement bit to find its way to me from Vigo) and alternate loadouts.
