Special note. Hi all. I’m changing the WIP thread to monthly seeing that we are low traffic. Being that these threads are meant to encourage discussion and updates I’m going to see if leaving each thread up longer fosters more discussion.

This thread is here to encourage posting works in progress (WIP). Post your works, updates to previous posts, and questions!

This thread is meant to be in addition to posting WIPs as their own threads, so feel free to make stand alone posts if you wish.

If there is anything you’d like to see added to painting resources in the opening comment, post away and I’ll take a look.

    Stripped a rhino from an old box of minis and I’m attempting (poorly) to do it up in Blood Raven colours.

      Yeah big red areas can be tough. I’ve taken to just spray painting red bodied vehicles these days. Works great if they are sprayed black first and then red from above. Gives shading in a nice gradient.

      I’d personally suggest some dry brushed orange highlights before you start picking out details. Orange on red really help it pop.

        The red is coming out alright so far; I kinda like the variation in colour. What orange would you recommend? I have wild rider red and fire dragon bright on hand.

        I’m mostly disappointed with the sepia over wraithbone. Just came out so uneven :(

    Knights!

    Finally got my knights army fully assembled and primed, just in time to take a nerfbat to the face.

    I’ve had a plan for a lance of BattleTech mechs running around my head for a while. The Warhammer you see there is the start/centerpiece. Going to be printing out some 28mm scale Locusts next.

    Almost done the Master of Executions and Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor for my Iron Warriors. Not sure I’ve got enough detail on them but overall pretty happy.
