Limited Edition Gamesday 2004 Archaon

 The 2004 Gamesday Archaon miniature is one of my favorite limited edition miniatures GW made.  I figured I would paint him up for my Chaos Army.

   I chose a black color scheme to practice shading and highlighting black.  I am relatively happy with the result.




Originally I painted him in metallic colors but it really overwhelmed the model.  Much happier with the black.

 Been a while since I posted, been doing some work so I will post some more later but just some quick pictures tonight.

Four Citadel AD&D Shades 1985 (ADD83)

 A very quick paint job on four old Citadel Shades from their 1985 licensed AD&D range.  This has always been one of my favorite ranges, lots of character.  Many of the miniatures came with slightly different variations fir each pose.  Unfortunately, only one shade with no variants!



I put them on some metal dungeon bases, about the size of a quarter, that I had sculpted and cast almost a decade ago at this point.  I much prefer the slender bases, as compared to the more standard GW style, they blend in a little more with whatever playing surface you are using.

The Second Star Wars Speeder

 Just finished the second speeder for my Star Wars Legion Rebels.  The same basic color scheme as the first one.  Went a little heavier on the weathering and didn’t do any decals.

Star Wars Legion Land Speeder

 Yes, I am a terrible blogger but I have gotten some painting done and hopefully will get cracking towards 400 miniatures a little bit faster.  First up is a Land Speeder for Star Wars Legion.






I am working on speed painting a little, on vehicles and things with large flat surfaces I am doing a lot of wet brushing.  Wet painting is basically the same as dry brushing without wiping anything off the brush first.  It’s a little faster than normal painting and doesn’t get as “ashy” as dry brushing does.

   Decals are actually from the Bandai 1/48 scale snowspeeder kit, you can get on Amazon below

Requires more assembly than the Legion version but comes with two sets of decals and is almost exactly the same size.
