The Spiteswarm Hive

Bees!

It's the Spiteswarm Hive. Working my way through my Sylvaneth endless spells in preparation for the next wave of Sylvaneth. I went for a prismatic look for the spites/bees themselves. Lot's of glazes that GW no longer produce and blending them together (Red to Yellow to Green to Blue to Purple (made by mixing Red/Blue). Overall it was pretty easy to paint. Either I'm getting better (unlikely) or I'm picking easier miniatures to paint.

Warcry: Raptoryx

The last of the Warcry miniatures (not including the warbands) from the starter set. 6 Raptoryx's. These were fun to paint, I particularly like how the wings came out. Red and Orange Contrast, washes of Red (Crimson Carbide?) & Orange (Fuegan Orange?), followed with drybrushes of Troll Slayer Orange and Git Yellow.

I've noticed that when I upload the pictures, the large picture (if you click the image below) have been showing up with their color reversed. It's odd, since I'm able to find the original size image by editing the url and that looks fine. Hopefully that bug is fixed now, but if it's not I'll start to add a link directly to the larger image.

May 2020 Totals

This month was more productive than last month, but still not anywhere near what I "normally" do. The quarantine is still effecting my output.

I also 3d printed 2 fleets for Man O' War this month. I now have a Skaven fleet and a Khorne fleet (to go with my dwarf & chaos dwarf fleets). Since masts are next to impossible to find online, I'm trying my hand at making some by hand using really thin polystyrene tubing with thread and white glue. We'll see how they look when I finish.

Totals for May 2020:

• 6 Warcry Terrain Pieces
• 6 Warcry Furies

Totals for May: 12 Miniatures

Totals for 2020: 48 Miniatures

Warcry Furies

As my son keeps pointing out, there should really only be 3 of these. He also thinks their beards should have been blue. These are the Furies from the Warcry Start Set. They are nice models. I must admit, I had issues painting the fangs, they were really difficult for some reason. I don't think they had much definition. Everything else came out okay.
