Chris’s 2021 to 2023 Painting Log

[cmcd]

Last year I didn’t do very well for painting.  I think I got less than 2000 points worth done.  And that was with the First and second lockdowns.   So.  New strategy.  I have made 4 army lists that I want to have painted by clubs 2022.  Two Space marines, one Necron, and one Tau.

Each of the Armies are each 2000 pts.  So that should be a good goal.  I might even if feeling tired of painting metal bodies work on some gloomsprite gitz as a past time.

Necrons

Necron Theme is .  Vehicles are Stone based.  Units are Skeleton Based. Canoptek are Metal  The two colours are similar but different textures and applications.  Where most of the Stone is Drybrushed. with little to no wash.  The skeletons are wash with a little bit of drybrushing on layering.

The weapons for the Dynasty are not all the same colour.  I like the idea of depending on the weapon what colour to paint power source.  

Gauss = Green 
Particle = Yellow
Death Ray = Red
Tesla = Purple
Synaptic = Blue



Vehicles:
Granite:
Sandstone:
Jade:
Blackstone:

Power Cores:

Units
Nobility: Red
Basic Skeleton: Bone [Wraithbone, Skeleton horde Contrast, Morgast Bone Dry, Wraithbone Dry]
elite Skeleton: Aged Bone

Tau

85% of my Autobots were painted in three weeks.  My plan is to bring Decepticons for clubs 2023.  Right now my tentative list is 11 models.   It will likely change over time as new faq’s and chapter approves come out.  

but looking to bring:
Megatron,
Blitzwing,
Menasor,
Bruticus,
Devastator,
Predaking, and
Scorponok.
might also bring frenzy and lazerbeak

it’s not a friendly list but neither are the decepticons so it evens out.

Thanks, It looks cool in person, but cant get. Camera to show it.   Next up is a cryptek with a Canoptek cloak, and a lone destroyer.

Even if the camera doesn't fully show the paint job off, it still looks good.

I can see the how your making the metal looking stained and grimey and that bubbling effect on the base is really sick, is it supposed to be like a radiation/acid world effect your going for?

[cmcd]

I like to think that the tomb world under the planet is waking up and the necron energies are cracking the ground. Ive started to try using glow in the dark paint… but still trying to perfect the look. Ill show pictures when the cryptek is done.

The Glow in the dark base did not work out. May have to wait until the sun is out or get a UV light to test it out good. Either way, Moving on to Destroyers. Not sure if I should paint the bases for the destroyers. Thoughts?

[Jack Shrapnel]

looks super cool! can really see this picture better too.

if it's the clear bases, I wouldn't paint them. If you're going to make new matching bases and use brass rod or something to hold them up, that's also an option.
