Hobby Streak 01/17/2023

The hobby streak crashed and burned around Christmas. Coupled with trying to get to level 250 in Call of Duty. I haven’t hobbied much until the last week.

A few things that didn’t get pictures. I finalized a massive structure for the DND Campaign. It was 3d printed, no color has been added yet. I also primed the player models and had our session 0. Crafted most of the story, our first game is set for this upcoming Sunday. I think this is where we will chronicle the party’s efforts. Expect a new page and weekly DND posts.

For the streak, I did hobby on Saturday the 14th and have maintained it since then. My elves are producing models at an alarming rate. I hate building models and have 3 hired hands that assist in their spare time. One is working on my Horus Heresy Collection, one on Star Wars Legion, and one on Flames of War. I will officially own a unit of most Flames of War models across the 5 main European players soon.

I produced a couple random DND monsters. I had an hour or so and sat down with my airbrush, and went to work. I prepared some trees for the terrain. I glued a crap ton of scenery for Marvel Crisis Protocol. I am 100% complete with all MCP except the December and January releases, which felt huge. I can’t wait to begin painting those.

In the next week, you can expect a fully finished dwarven army. I have 45 models left to paint. 25 pikemen, and 20 warriors. The warriors are all primed and will begin being painted this very afternoon. I just printed the pikemen; they need to wash and cure and will be back to work. I also have 10 dnd minis that need to be done. Our 7 PC’s, 2 Velociraptors, and an NPC.

I would upload pictures, but……. fail. Until next week.

Hobby Streak 11-28-22 To 12-5-22

Hobby streak is still going strong. I didn’t take pics of everything. I doubt you want to see some basic glued grey MCP models.

On November 28 I airbrushed a few dinosaurs and a random piece of terrain I had. I am in an AOS league and our final game is scheduled for 12/7/2022. My list is as follows.

Seraphon Thunder LizardsPoints
Leaders
(General) Saurus Oldblood on Carnasuar250
Skink Starseer145
Battleline
(x3) Steagadon with Skystreak Bow270(ea) 810
Behemoth
Bastiladon with Solar Engine250
Dread Saurian545

I am super stoked for this list and a grand total of 7 models is nice. Battlereport will come

On the 29th I pushed out 10 dwarves with great weapons. My classic zenithal prime. Various contrast paints for the browns and hair. Vallejo Opaque Blue and Yellow. And some Reaper Bones darkened steel.

On the 30th I worked on the Dread Saurian, what a really cool model with so many textures. Worked great with an airbrush, I don’t even have much detail to work on once he is washed.

Primed with Vallejo Forest green primer, it also provided a nice basecoat. From there I mixed in various greens building up highlights and finished with the vallejo golden yellow you see on its side in the second pic. I added some gold fir the fixtures. I honestly think after a wash and some face and mouth detail work this model will be in good shape.

The 1st I was completely exhausted and simply built a handful of MCP models.

On the 2nd I began researching some info for my next DND campaign. The PCs are going to be starting on Wolf Toe Island, in the nation of Asan. I haven’t crafted much of this nation yet, and I want the culture to feel unique. This island has some significant notes in the past as it is where most of the shipwrecked sailers from the frequent storms in the Winsbey Ocean end up. Having a couple of medium fishing villages built from husks of shipwrecks is the start. I think having many different races in the area matters, I am struggling with figuring out how that looks as a culture.

The third I did some minor detail work on the big lizard models and made a couple of washes. Wash recipe is simple, ink, water, and matte medium. The water is about 70%, the medium 25% and ink 5% at most. I didn’t want to use expensive GW washes on a massive dinosaur.

The 4th I based the big models. I still have to paint the Starseer, but he will be mostly contrast paints done tonight. This will conclude what I am doing right now for the Seraphon. I will most likely do an inventory of the total amount of models I have for this collection once we are finished. It is extensive. Probably 100 skinks, 60 warriors, a dozen larger things.
