2016 Bartertown Members Painting Challenge!!!

[BigMekNayt]

I've had most of these painted for the last 2-3 weeks. I spent this week making bases, adding decals, ardcoating lenses, etc. The little details. I've started to paint 5 Sicarian Infiltrators that I think are actually going to finish faster than these Rangers did.

The inconsistent lighting in the pictures is highly frustrating. I need to make myself a real photo box for this stuff. Anyway, here are the lastst completions!

10 Skitarii Rangers: 10 pts
1 Ironstrider: 5 pts?

Total: 10?

I like those. That purple is real nice.

[BigMekNayt]

Thanks! It came out perfectly - not too blue, not too pink.

[hapotte]

Those Skiitari are awesome, they really look good.

Points updated for both of you.

Here's the ones I did today, they're the level 3 security guards for the MERCS recon game. 10 points

[BigMekNayt]

I like the grey + green. I had a 3rd edition Tau army I painted up like that back in the day.

Nice work all!

In other news, took my trees to a tournament...

@BigMekNayt - Wow very nice! I am such a huge fan of purple and you really pulled it off. Also, are those bases custom or resin? They look good!

@Hapotte - Awesome! They are going to look good together!

@Akum - Congrats!

I've been playing with my Sisters again (tee hee) and I think I finally found a colour scheme I am set on (it's only been MONTHS). SO. I have a ton of Sisters who may be getting a makeover including a ton of boxes to damage up!

Great job everyone so far!

[skuller]

@hapotte those enforcers look really good

@bigMekNayt Those skitarii are sick ....that purple looks amazing...great job and keep posting

@Akum congrats those treemonic legion are a glass cannon but once it work it can take your opponents by surprise

[spiralingcadaver]

Hapotte, thanks, and nice guards... Mercs is a pretty nice looking line (though I really dislike how they write rules), and fun tech guys, nayt.

Next up, the last Deadsculpt guy I had left unpainted. 2+" tall, so 5 more points.

I actually used this handy tutorial from EonsOfWar from YouTube for the bases:

That video was neat. I think I'll do that for my ALEPH.

Okay.
It's a neat little video. Great idea with the Zip Tie.
He needs to speak more slowly and enunciate better, though.

WTF is granny grating? Granite grating? Something else?
I don't freaking know WHAT he was calling it.

Granny grating. It's a craft plastic available at...Joanns? or michaels maybe. I've seen it. My wife says it's also called plastic canvas and comes in different sizes, shapes and hole spacing.

she also says in comes in different colors.
