WIPTW 2021 - Update 06
/Another couple of good weeks. Finished a 20 Block, did a pallet Cleanser and am really into the new block, having finished a bunch of them. Work is as crazy as ever and we are about to properly start plastering and painting my office so i am clearing out the room.
We finished the red king campaign and i am happy to say i am sated with Frostgrave now, having played a ton of games in the past 8 or so months.
We have a convention first weekend of July and we are playing Aeronautica so i am about to interrupt the 20 Block and finish my Tau planes. wont be super fun, but i am part way through half of them anyway so just have to do it.
WIPTW - Rules
Keep track of what i have painted
Can only buy half of what i have painted
Its hard to keep track of the rules due to the way kickstarters work, but in general if i can avoid buying models in general to half of what i painted, and just try to minimise damage with kickstarters i will be fine.
Painted this ‘week’:
A good block of time, i had been stuck on the troll and left it till last on the 20 block, but finally got motivated and sorted him out. Enjoyed the Kobolds as a pallet cleanser and then dived into a bunch of new models. the best thing about the 20 Blocks is I look forward to them as i have the next block ready to go. I am trying to get through these quickly so i can jump into the next one. Got to use a bit more contrast on these models so it was a little faster, though the next batch are going to be more complicated.
20 Block Progress:
Where I am up to with the current block of 20.
The last model to complete in this 20 Block was 7, The Blacklist Troll. Finished him up and grabbed a new 20 Block. Though this one is 23 models as we are starting a Necromunda Campaign at the end of the month so i have brought these up so i can get them done. here is the new 20 Block.
So far of this new block i have finished, 1, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15 and working on 23 next.

Purchased and delivered:
Did not buy much, a few STL based Kickstarters, nothing super exciting. Did buy some Valkyries on special from Mighty Ape for AI.
Nothing major delivered, sometime in the next few weeks Reaper Bones 5, my Crooked Dice Cthulu and my Punga Bloodbowl models will arrive so that will dump a bunch of new models on me.
Working on:
Through the 20 Block, nearly done with the space marines from Indomitus getting all their resin bits, and the will do the same for other marines. have nearly got the next 20 block ready to go, only a couple more models to prep, and need to paint some Necro Terrain and get that going.
Stats YTD:
On track, still have not updated the purchase sheet, but i am not buying much at the moment, though that can always change.
Pictures:
Vampire - Reaper model, lots of black so i used Instant colours and contrast to do them a little different, and then highlighted with brown for some and blue for the other.
Civilian with Groceries- A simple model from Funky Skull, basic Jeans and jacket, but i liked his slight native american features and did his hair with gloss paint.
Troll - Painted with instant colours, was not happy with the green so went over it with a thinned green ink from Scale 75 which brought it all together.
Kobolds - Nice and simple, various browns for the flesh from Instant colours. did a little rust etc on the metal but kept them fast.
Reinvan - So much fun, i liked doing the stained shirt and the tanned flesh.
Brienne - Used Vallejo metallic for the amour with a blue ink lining, and silver highlight and then contrast for the blue cloak. Flesh was a bit rough but the angle she is on its hard to see. i did a super think glaze to make the sword look a little like valeryian steel.
Hulking Henchman - Old School suit so i liked doing it in a walnut brown, and a gray turtle neck. the shoes were gloss black highlighted.
Dwight - TWD so a rough sculpt, the tattoo was fun, and i enjoyed doing the burn scar on the side of the face. have not done Camo in ages so that was fun.
Borock - All done with contrast and instant colours, Dark Oath flesh for the fur with some drybrushing, and instant colours red, which was nice and sharp.
