What Minis Are You Painting?

The Seaside Shamans (Shamen?) are now complete as well. Time for some druid-on-druid action!

Painting that tiny seagull was the most joyous experience I've had while painting miniatures!

Started painting my Marvel United game. I'm really pleased with the way Iron Man turned out. One down, many to go.

I don't know how deep into this rabbit hole I will plan on diving, but I picked up some Blitz Bowl sets as well as a Blitz Bowl paint set for dirt cheap at Barnes and Noble and I thinking about painting them. Watching some citadel videos, they talk about using different types of brushes. Can anyone offer a recommendation on a brush set? I did a quick Amazon search and it was like running a search for a new phone cord - tons of options from brands I don't recognize - I wonder if what's there will be fairly frustrating and low quality.

The best brushes I have are Citadel (GW). Get a couple small and mediums, you'll be good to go.

Also get some cheap shitty ones for dry brushing.

You can pull off some good drybrushing with old makeup brushes. Make up sponges are good for wet blending.

Finished painting up my Cosmic Frogs. I just went for a basic scheme. It's not as psychedelic and awesome as some of the schemes I've seen done, but at least when I tell someone "You're the blue frog," they know exactly which miniature to reach for.

I lost my response to your original post, but you got it working. FWIW, I post the images to my personal gallery on BGG and link to that.

These look great and your frog eyes look AWESOME.

Those frogs are awesome.

Yeah, those frog eyes are amazing. Makes me want to run out and buy Cosmic Frog so I can try painting my own frogs.

It's interesting that there was little activity in this thread in recent years. The first year of the pandemic would have been an ideal time to paint minis. And yet my Space Hulk 3rd edition minis remain partially painted, as they have been since 2009. I think that I was probably depressed during that year, because I was doing plenty of solitaire gaming, but couldn't muster the energy to start any serious projects, like painting minis or cleaning up my basement storage room.

I'm helping run a Warcry event at our local GW this Sunday! I've built around 1000 models since last April, but these are the first I've ever painted.



I doubt that I'll have the Chaos Spawn done on time, but I'm hoping I'll be able to finish the rest. I've made about every mistake that it's possible to make and they've still turned out alright. Nurgle bless!
