Well, it's been a while since my last post. I won't lie, it's mostly due to a combination of laziness, Christmas, and then more laziness.
Despite the slow progress on the blog, and hobby stuff in general, I couldn't not enter Squaduary this year. I've finished both times on the other years the event has run, so I couldn't break my perfect winning streak!
With that in mind, I've painted a unit of 3 Fiends of Slaanesh. These are the new plastic models from the Wrath and Rapture set that came out recently. I can't really comment on the rest of the set though, as I bought these on eBay for just over £20, which I think is a pretty good deal really. They're a really nice kit; with some excellent detail, and a lot of little features to be appreciated. In particular, I really like the sort of cute sea-horse side view of the heads. Something about it just works well when combined with the rest of the model. I also like the classic backwards legs and other twisted physical parodies on these models that echo the originals nicely.
Anyway, paint wise, I used the airbrush for the skin and then just enjoyed the painting process really. I don't paint that many daemons, so it was a nice change of pace from the normal stuff (ie burly armoured dudes!)
Well, that about wraps it up for another year!
They're awesome man! Really nice job.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm just glad to have them finished in time.
DeleteThey look fantastic and twisted as fook. Job done!
ReplyDeleteCheers Siph! They're really cool minis. I'm hoping for a new keeper of secrets soon too.
DeletePhenomenal work as always!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I don't think I'll ever match last year's 40k Skaven that I did for Squaduary.
DeleteIndeed, those may be nigh untoppable, that said these were a hell of an attempt to do so!
Deletegreat. Love this purple tones
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really like painting purple.
DeleteThose look great! I really want to get my hands on some and see what I can do with them myself.
ReplyDeleteI think they'll release them as a separate kit soon, so hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
DeleteYeah, and lord knows I have enough other things to keep myself busy until then, so I'm OK with waiting.
DeleteKeeping the streak going strong, I like it and well played. They look great together, an army like that would be ace.
