Dreadball - Marauder - Goblins redux WIP - Part 1

Now onto my second batch of Goblins.  Been making steady progress on these as you can see from the pictures.  Hopefully, will be able to finish these within 2 more weeks.

Dreadball - Marauder - Goblins - Complete

Finished up my first batch of Goblins.  Unfortunately, the photo didn't come out too well as I forgot to switch to manual mode on my camera.  Ah well...

Progress!

With a couple of weeks additional work, my goblin team is almost finished.  I should be able to complete these by next week which means that I can move on to ... my other squad of goblins.  Hmmm.

Ah well, good thing I'm only painting to a "good enough" quality!

So close and yet so far

After doing the Marauder Orx, I'm now onto the Goblins.  To be honest though, I'm getting a little sick of this paint scheme - particularly as I'm going to have to repeat for another set of 8-9 Goblins after this set.

What this ultimately means is that instead of painting to a tabletop level, I'm not painting to a "good enough" level.
:D

My first set of Goblins - another set of 8-9 to go!!!!

Dreadball - Marauder - Orx - Complete

Managed to finish off the Orx.  Primarily, this was adding the colour gradient to the disc and numbering each of the Orx.  Then I based them and added a bit of colour to the base.

I also managed to get my hands on a lightbox so the quality of the photo should be better.
:)

Roar!

Dreadball - Marauder - Orx WIP - Part 5

Spent a lot of the last week doing detail work.  Unfortunately, as detail work is finicky, it always takes a ridiculously long amount of time.  Especially when compared to the earlier efforts, it always seems like I make a lot of progress quickly and then get bogged down in detail work.

Still, it tends to be the detail work which makes the mini stand out so ultimately, I guess it's worth it.  Right?

Completed the metal, straps and highlights on the black armour

Some more progress on my Marauder Orx.  It feels like I'm really close to finishing these now and hopefully, I will be able to finish them off in another week or two.

Anyway, I added in some details on nails and teeth and have started in on the metal boots.  Once I've finished off the boots, I intend to start doing some lining on the black parts of the armour and finish up some of the detail work.

Boots!

I'm back!

After a long holiday (which I'll talk more about on my main blog), I'm now back in Hong Kong and will hopefully get back to a normal publishing schedule.

More importantly, I made some more progress on my Dreadball Orx.

I've finished up painting the red on the armor.  If I were painting these as individual pieces, I would probably try to go up another shade or two in colour for the highlights.  However, there are mass pieces and I've already spent more than enough time on the armor so the current state will have to do.

Progress!

Dreadball - Marauder - Orx WIP - Part 2

Another week with minimal painting.  Primarily for 2 reasons.

1. It's starting to get really hot in Hong Kong so I'm feeling lethargic.  At the moment, all I really want to do is sit around and let the sweat roll off...
2. The second reason is that I've been a little bit addicted to Lord of the Rings LCG lately.  I've been posting about it on my gaming blog and it really is a fantastic game!

Anyway, over the last week, I've started to basecoat the armour with white.  I'm planning to have their armour a relatively bright red so wanted the layer of white in there before I got started with the red.

Kinda wished I had primed them white instead of black now.

Sloooow progress

Dreadball - Marauder - Orx WIP - Part 1

I'm back to painting dreadball minis.  Hopefully, once I complete the Marauder team, that will give me 2 complete teams to that I can start playing around with Dreadball.  :D

Haven't done a huge amount yet.  Almost finished with the skin tone (almost).  The model is a bit dark as I primed black so I will likely paint the armour white as I want a slightly brighter shade of red for the armour.

I haven't completed the skin tone for the ones on the left
