Hi guys,

Not sure if anyone is interested, but I'm keeping a blog as I (admittedly slowly) paint all the miniatures from 2E and the expansions.

I don't purport to be a great painter by any means, but I've been doing it a long time, and I'm documenting my specific colour choices and techniques so might be helpful for some.

Looks great!

I've already reached the limit of my painting skills, which consist of painting the side edge of the bases to color-match the class archetype.

Warrior=red
Healer=blue
Scout=green
Mage=yellow
Lieutenant=gold

I've done a great job of not getting any stray paint on the top of the base or the model itself!

EDIT: I've included a photo of my spectacular work.

P.S. I've always admired those of you that have the skill/patience/time to make these plastic models look so lifelike!

Looking good. Question. For the Spiders, are those bases painted?

Thanks

That was a serious gap in the painting log !

Good to see that you're back to a space of miniatures creativity. I know for myself, oddly enough painting miniatures overall has been one of the few things I've gotten into that brings me a real measure of peace.

I was playing 40k for awhile, mostly painting....rarely playing. I hit a wall, and never really felt the desire to look back on GW products. But after about a Year 1/2 of no hobby related activities in January of this year I was looking for more. Found X wing, found FFG, ... Now I'm back into it.

Thinking of painting my Descent figs, plus, have recently acquired the entire collection of First edition monsters/heroes.

It's pretty much in the realm of imagination in terms of painting.

But, each time I see a post like yours those wheels begin to spin. Your Belthir is inspiring, the interpretation of the Color palette is great.

Nah man, you're great.
