Played a game of #Warmachine at my FLGS last night :D It was the new 'High Stakes' #SR2026 scenario. Nyxyan & friends were getting pretty well rocked during the defender's 2nd turn (I was the attacker) but they left Yana, their warcaster, exposed & I burned her down with lots of Howling Flames :3

TFW you're at work, no work is coming into your queue, & you could be home & painting minis during downtime instead. :c I miss my work from home days; the higher ups decided to revoke all remote agreements last July & so now we just kinda take up space when there's nothing going on. :c

Nyxyan the Stygian Coil has been up on my painting handle recently :3 Still have to do her base but I think otherwise she's good to go :D

These are supposedly HDR pics but it's so blurry. Maybe my camera is just bad? ๐Ÿค”

It's chilly! Here's ice peeled from a leaf outside--complete with the little tear in the leaf itself that transferred to the ice :3

Okay, pretty much finished with this guy :3 Still need to do the base. Also still can't figure out good light for photographing :o

Some #miniarure #painting! A wraithwing paragon from #warmachine :D Still finishing up the base coating and then it needs some washes and highlights but it's a start! :3 Still need to get better at mini photography :'3

H'ok, applied some dark wash to antique it up a bit and some rust to the steel bits for more je ne sais rust. Not a huge change from before but certainly looks more weathered I think :3 Base still needs a tuft or two.

I'm undecided on how rusty I want to make the golden bits--might just use some washes to go for a dirty, antique gold look; as for the dark steel bits I'll be doing some stippled dark rust (maybe some light rust, too, if I pick some up) :D

Thanks! It's Army Painter's "Emperor Gold" from one of the John Blanche sets :3 It's got a nice reddish tint that, with enough texture will settle nicely into recesses :3

Think I'm finished with Sin Buddy here. I need to touch up the base more and add a couple tufts or some such. But all in all pretty happy with how he turned out. I still need to get better at photographing though! The colours aren't nearly so stark in person.

Working on painting up Mr. Sins here from #TrenchCrusade :D So far I've only put some #P3 Molten Bronze paint. Really digging the colour :3 I need to finish up all the base coats & then I can start grunging it up with some #ArmyPainter Verdigris & some #VillainyInk Goon's Grime & Carrion Crimson :3

Recently I've had a time trying to figure out when I'd be able to get some minis primed. Plus I just received the #Khymaera #Warmachine auxiliary box on Sunday. Yesterday was finally open & the wind light & I got those & some #TrenchCrusade minis primed & ready for painting :D

Warmachine warbeast Hydrix in a pearlescent gold with tan and dark metallic accents. Equipped with wings, 2 blockhead heads, and the toothy maw.

So maybe a melee build for Hydrix ๐Ÿค”

Painted up a few more options for Hydrix here. Like the toothy maw and the blockheads. Also some pretty butterfly wings! โค๏ธ

More #Warmachine painting! Here is my first unit of cinderbacks. I tried using some #TurboDork on them to give an interesting metallic shine to their backs. Still need to improve at highlighting! But they turned out pretty okay I think :3

Went to paint night at my flgs last night! It was an off week due to the upcoming holiday so it was a pretty small crowd. Still a good time! Painted up this Spinner and tried to work on my highlighting. Particularly on the robes. I think it came out okay! :3
