3 idoneth eels riders

I've been knocked on my ass by this flu in the UK, so tonight was the first night I had a decent painting session in a while.

Finished painting the amour and skin of the eel riders tonight, still need to do red and blue bits before attaching to mounts and a final detail pass.

Wow 12 days since my last update!

Eell the point of hobbystreak is some progress is better than no progress.

Shark is assembled and base is half made. The elves are all sprayed ready to paint and the eels are progressing, just the red and a detail pass and they're done!

I may be biased, but I'm damn proud of the business my Wife has made, with a little help from myself, of course.

Any love you could share would be appreciated!

Ive finished the basecoats for the eels, bar a couple of tiny bits.

Decided to focus on just one eel to get a bit of a scheme done. So eel 1 has had its main skin, reds and blues highlighted.

Steady progress on the Idoneth. The basing for the eels and the soulscryer is more or less done. Just need to do the fish.

The eels themselves are starting to get thier basecoats done, and I assembled the sharks, though that does still need a base doing.

The last 3 namarti thralls are painted. Finally finishing the unit, they definitely look good together.

Onward to the next unit. The eels are getting their bases done, sand was done first, and now the start to the seaweed 'flying stands'

A classic metal penitant engine. These models don't like to stay together!

#hobbystreak day 691

Not much in the way of updates as I've been mostly fixing some old minis and stripping some things ready for new-year new-army.

The last week or so, I've finished making my eel riders, minus making some seaweed out of greenstuff for 'flying' stands. And made the mage leader.

#hobbystreak day 685 (yesterday)

More progress on the thralls, green copper and skin is done now. Only blue and red left to do!

Given the weather, it's time to get ahead on building so I can spray when the weather is good, so tonight I worked on the eels from the set.

My first ever Goblin Green bases! 😍

This is one of our "rescues" - taking a customer's abandoned project into a fully painted piece of Warhammer history.

You can find this copt of Talisman 3rd Edition on our Ebay store today!

#miniaturepainting #oldhammer #goblingreen

Yeah, you're right. And I actually have a tube of half used Milliput in this collection, so I suspect I have the culprit!

I think you're may be right, bit of a shame but a cool conversion.

Paging all those lovers of weird miniatures.

Can anyone help me ID this oddity?

First glance, citadel LE 15 warlock. However, they have a clear plastic? glass? bottle that they slot into. The legs have been swapped out with a peg that fits into the bottle.

Conversion or rare relic of GW past?

#hobbystreak day 680

Starting on the next 3 thralls, basecoats are mostly down now bat the metallics.

Looking forward to moving on to the less alabaster elves in this combat patrol!

can i pose a question to all the asians who dont play warhammer and the 9 europeans awake that do- so, 3d printings a prevalent thing now and indie creators do make amazing creative sculpts on their own, why then does GW still have SUCH a strong pull? whats the draw to choose GW? genuine question

Building a model kit is a part of the hobby.

While some 3d prints need some level of assembly, removing supports, etc it generally feels like a chore.

Building a model kit and seeing it come together, I find zen and relaxing, also gives me time to kitbash and customise make it my unique mini.

The unit of 7 thralls so far in my display cabinet.

#hobbystreak 676

2 more Idoneth thralls complete.

There was a definite moment of joy sticking these minis on their bases that I generously made & painted months ago! Thanks, past me!

Lovely to see the unit coming together, a batch of 3 next and then I can look towards the sharks and eels!

#hobbystreak day 673 (yesterday)

I've not had much painting mojo the last few days, but I've managed to do a little more basecoating and get all the green highlighted up.

I do like the idoneth, but when I bought them I played AoS regularly. Not so much atm, so the drive to paint them is lower.

3 idoneth deepkin thralls, one fully painted, 2 basecoated. They are painted in a green, red and blue scheme.

#hobbystreak day 669

With no gitz left to paint, it's time to look back at the Idoneth spearhead.

I'm 5/10 done on the thralls, with painted bases ready and waiting. Tonight I got most of the basecoats done on the next two.

I dig the slightly more orangy take on the squigs. Gitz minis are so fun, my squigs are yellow which helps them stand out next to the red hoods!

#hobbystreak day 667

That's 20 more gits done and dusted!

Lovely models to speedpaint, they have just the right amount of detail for a horde unit.

Also, that brings me back to 0 unpainted gitz and brings my pile of shame under 200!

#hobbystreak day 663

After my first spray and pre-zenithal basecoats, I've zenithalled the stabbas and started applying speedpaints.

Doing batches of 20 at a time is a lot, but since they are fully done with speedpaints, progress still feels fast! A 5.5-point goblin only deserves so much effort!

Finished off the single Repentia, so now I can field a full unit of 10 should I wish.

On to the next oroject: taking a chunk out the pile of shame with a unit of 20 stabbas. I finished assembly today, including some minor kitbashes to make the unit different from my first one.

The Loonshrine is finished. Sure, I could do more, but it's more than tabletop ready, and I'm happy.

Onto a mini project with 1 sista repentia, I bought a single so my 2 combat patrols worth of repentia can now be a unit of 10!

I'm so torn on if to do all the white spots on them or not!

Pros: will look cool

Cons: probably 1.5 hours of white dots!

Making steady progress on the loonshrine. It's a huge kit, so even with speedpaints, it takes time to paint.

Definitely starting to see it come to life though, which is very satisfying!

#hobbystreak day 649

I think swapping between a sister and a massive got of AoS terrain has got me feeling a bit unfocused.

Nethertheless, I've just put the finishing touches to my new jump pack Cannonness. Ready to lead my seraphim and up the meagre 8 hand flamers to an impressive 9!

More slow and steady progress on my hobbydesk

Firstly, the Catachan guardsman is now based and complete.

Next Ive started on the faction terrain for my gitz, greenstufing and startingbthe pre-zenithal paint. Also made progress on my jump Cannonness basecoats.

Thanks, it's one of my projects for when I just want something different, not attached to an army. I've painted a few now!
