...and my favorite boys (plus one im not so fond of. Guess which one?)

#genestealercults
#warhammer40k

The theme of these guys seems to "zealotry, bossing people around, and skirts".

First up, the Big Daddy and his right hand (claw?) Man.

#warhammer40k
#genestealercults

Calling it on the Brood Coven and Tacos (that's the scientifically correct term for them, right?)

So much character in these kits, i may just do little indivdual posts.

(Plus i found the "pro" settings on my phone cam)

After several days off from the workbench, a little more progress on some more #genestealercults.

This is the Moment of Doubt - what's in front of me doesnt quite resemble the idea in my head.

...and there's nothing to do but power on and bridge the gap. And hope for the best.

*Finally* finished the Genestealers.

So i decided to play around with some amateur desk photography.

BoomLady and the BangBang Kid. Coming soon to a #genestealercults uprising near you.

#warhammer40k

Woops, forgot about the 4 pic limit. Here are the #genestealers.

#warhammer40k

Little more progress on this batch of #genestealers. Finishing touches and cleanup left to go...

#warhammer40k

Skipped ahead in my workflow because i needed to see if my latest brainfart works.

brainfart being the 2-tone cloaks. "Practical" exterior color & a deep violet interior, w/c is sort of a unifying element to my #genestealercults. The color is almost sacred.

(catholic coded, I know)

If you see this, post a monster

Neophytes done (but for the bases. Ran out of superglue).

That was meticulously maddening and fun.

Practicing a little drybrushing, mainly so I can actually the details.

But there's a part of me that wants to leave them mostly like this, but with spot colors in a super stylized Sin City homage.

...all that's missing is some lemon butter sauce.

First "epic hero" model, The Deathleaper. Love the look of it (hated the build).

Slightly different color scheme to the rest of the army, as nod to its elite status.

#warhammer40k
#tyranids

Closing in on the finish line for the deathleaper. Modified the color scheme to diffentiate it as a Special Unit, which is giving me some ideas for the rest kf the armor.

Love the model, build was finnicky as f*ck..

#tyranids
#warhammer40k

Testing out a color variation for the Deathleaper, since it's supposed to be an Epic Hero and all...

From stumbling through bootleg 3d prints for "practice", to the GW beginner paints set, to the full 40k/KillTeam rabbit hole (and army building)...

#nerdlings #paintingminis #miniatures

After literally weeks jumping from one model to another (trying to be "efficient"), it's nice to finally stuff off the desk...

...so i can repeat it over and over again.

#warhammer40k
#tyranids

Some more brain bugs for the army.

After the glowy bits, some hair and makeup...

Working on the glowy bits...

WIP. Testing fitting. First time attempting a little bit of base dressing.

And the rest of the 1st batch of #genestealercults.

#warhammer40k

1st batch of #genestealercults characters done. Only 4,823 more models to go before i have a functioning army.

#warhammer40k

Progress on the Purple People Eaters

#tyranids
#warhammer40k

Calling it on the Benefictus. Needed to finish *something* and move on.

#warhammer40k
#genestealercults

Finally back in production. After all the greeblies, needed to rethink the toolbox a little for the bigger beasties.

#warhammer40k
#tyranids

Feels like forever since i picked up a brush.

Back on the saddle... these fabulous freaks aint gonna paint themselves.
