I'll be here much more often, so as a reintroduction, have my most recent WIP

I got an update about my heart defect- I can get it fixed! Once my insurance card from my job comes in, I can schedule the surgery!

Mockup in Impcat for my second Wardog (Armiger model is the closest they have). I can't tell if I like it or hate it

Ok, I understand the appeal of Helldivers 2. This is incredibly fun

Full army pic! 1905 points ft one illegal Venomcrawler that I desperately wish I could field with my Death Guard

I only wish I did one thing different; dry fitted the Scythe first to properly spray the OSL effect on the top of the Terminator Armor.

He's done! I spent this entire weekend, 20 hours, on him, and man am I happy about the end result.

I'm quite happy with the Scythe. It only took 3 hours, but I'm happy with it!

I couldn't find any silly putty, and I thought Playdoh was the same thing. I was very wrong.

Hobby lesson learned- playdoh is not a substitute for masking fluid/tape. This was a nightmare trying to remove

A Biologus Putrifier in Pallid Hands. This was actually a really fun model to paint, and allowed me to practice on glass and OSL again, and think I did quite well. Now to just wait on the Vallejo Mud to dry, and I can finish the base!

Pro-Acryl's Golden Brown is such a nice color. It's a shame that it's coverage is less than stellar. The green on the face mask is.. not doing it for me. Maybe a black to contrast with the (eventual) grimey cream color? Or a plum? Eh, idk yet. Any suggestions?

Poxwalkers complete. Plague Marines complete. Chaos Cultists are almost complete. All I have left is a Biologus Putrifier and Typhus

After a stint of hopelessness, despair, and depression, I finally managed to pick up a brush and actually put it to some models. A 30 minute paint session, but I say I'm quite happy w/ the skin on these Poxwalkers; the coat... not so much.

010

That Commie Painter (Commissions Open) @commiepainter.bsky.social · 21/01/2024

From 3' away, these Plague Marines look pretty good. Sure, I could do more detailing, but these guys aren't the ones that catches the eyes of the people playing against you. Either way, what Unit(s) should I do next? Typhus, Poxwalkers, or Chaos Cultists?

That Commie Painter (Commissions Open) @commiepainter.bsky.social · 13/01/2024

Ordered a War Dog kit. Think I'm going to go with 2 Karnivores, but I may go with one Karnivore, and one Brigand. I want my Death Guard to have some support, both in the front and back, and this seems like a good way to do that.

That Commie Painter (Commissions Open) @commiepainter.bsky.social · 31/12/2023

Oh yea. It's a game. The moment it stops being fun, I will stop caring. Its why I don't understand the chuds who want to suck out all the fun from the game as a weak excuse to be bigots.

That Commie Painter (Commissions Open) @commiepainter.bsky.social · 31/12/2023

A long term goal of mine is to at least place in a Golden Demon, so getting featured is like, a stepping stone of sorts for me? But my primary goal is to just have fun painting little silly plastic toys for a silly war game.

That Commie Painter (Commissions Open) @commiepainter.bsky.social · 31/12/2023

Perhaps. But I know when I used it up close, it kinda... how do I describe this.... um... octopuses? Out. Like, it just kinda splattered. But same! While I'm proud of my more detailed work, I am so far away from the folks who regularly get featured in GW or Vallejo or the like.

And now for the product review photo. Obviously not painted up to any crazy standard, really only just base colors to see how they work, but still good enough to put on a table.

That Commie Painter (Commissions Open) @commiepainter.bsky.social · 30/12/2023

Color schemes. While not a big selection (only 10 colors as of current), they do come in 30ml dropper bottles, so they are a whole 8ml bigger than Pro-Acryl bottles for you to use for a while. And for only $15USD, they are quite the steal.

That Commie Painter (Commissions Open) @commiepainter.bsky.social · 30/12/2023

Two blue colors, Caribbean and Lapis, both show up really well even on a black undercoat despite being quite dark colors in comparison to the rest of the line. Overall, any Painter would benefit from this line, and can easily incorporate the colors into pre-existing or future

The Matcha is super bright, so all Ork players will have a great time painting up their WAAAGH! with this, while the Coffee offers a nice dull brown, somewhere between Rhinox Hide and Skrag Brown. The Apple is a nice dark red, think of a Granny Smith apple, and the

Done as base colors in the very early stages of painting. Every color dries matte, and quite slowly (maybe 10 seconds tops) to allow for any quick mistake cleanups with a slightly damp brush.

Pixiss airbrush paint line review! Overall a very saturated line that covers extremely well. It does come pre-thinned, almost to the point of the viscosity of a Citadel Wash, so it's definitely not a paint you want to be doing much detail work with. It should be

New paint line!! Review will hopefully come in the morning. I'm especially excited about the Orchid, Coffee, and Matcha colors.

A filter of Garaghak's Sewer over Flesh Tearer Red, Bad Moon Yellow, and White Scars. Can't really see it on Red, Yellow is the dirtiest, and White looks the most stained. Honestly, I may apply this as a filter over the rest of the army, as I imagine it shows up quite well on Plaguebearer Flesh

Thank you Impcat for allowing nice and easy color schemes. Just a test run on a preset model, to get the feel for it. Now to test it out on a Plague Marine stand in for Typhus.

That Commie Painter (Commissions Open) @commiepainter.bsky.social · 06/12/2023

With most of my Plague Marines painted (this isn't even half of em), I am quite close to finishing out my army. I need to paint 30 Poxwalkers, and 30 Chaos Cultists, then 4 Blightlord Termies, and finally Typhus. I'm halfway there!

Finally getting back to work on my models. Trying a stippling approach with the greens to serve the foundation for my DG Rhino. Couple more coats, then I can start working on the whites, browns, and metallics.

God I want to get back to painting my models. Between con crunch (now over), Bills, stress, and working 50-60 hours each week, then spending the weekends working on friends cars for them, I have had no time. Hopefully by next weekend I can return... I have plans for my Rhino that I need to start on.

I shoulda started doing this a while ago. I've not bit my nails once in 4 days despite how nervous I've been due to being at a for 2 of those days.

Have you ever seen that one model that has you contemplating on picking up a whole new game? Cause it's this one for me. This singular model has me tempted to start playing Necromunda.

“Human rights should, can, and do apply to all humans” is not and should not be a radical statement. The amount of effort that some people go to try to obscure this basic concept is truly wild.

And now, just like for years prior, innocent people are left digging through rubble to find their loved ones. To find any piece of them. Innocent people, the majority of whom have never even gotten a chance to live their life, who were blown apart in an act of intentional cruelty and terror,

They chose to bomb a target that still had civilians inside. They chose to bomb a target that is an explicit "no target" due to being medical aid. They CHOSE to slaughter hundreds of children. They weren't forced, they chose to do this. They chose to do evil, as they have done for decades.

A hospital. A. Fucking. Hospital. It doesn't matter if Israel "gave an evacuation notice", it's damn near logistically impossible to evacuate a hospital in its entirety, and a War Crime to purposefully target one. Israel KNEW that none of them could be evacuated in time.

He's definitely not as bulky anymore. Base size looks like it went from a 25mm to a 32mm or a 40mm. I actually want this version of him in my collection, and to fill out my Necron army

When this war ends, we must forever hold those who call for the genocide of the Palestinians responsible. We must never let them rehabilitate their image. The evils of today must not be forgotten or ignored tomorrow.
