Blocked in the blacks and pinks, and dotted the eyes on the Zealots #hobbystreak 1184

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Heading back to my Cosmere commission, and I've decided to paint the remaining four Zealots all at once. Started blocking things in based on my previous work, and should be able to finish the introductory steps tomorrow #hobbystreak 1183

Bumped the saturation up on the wings, cleaned up the white linen headpiece, and painted the bottom legs and talons. I think tomorrow it's gonna be the dress and the wood of the spear #hobbystreak 1181

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Attached the ribcage and the veil. Finished the skin, and started the back wing. Did a bunch of bonus work on the base as well, which I'll be able to show off in a few days #hobbystreak 1180

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Finally got the matte finish that I wanted, and then immediately blasted the entire piece in oils which has made it glossy again. Letting this cure overnight before moving onto the details and adding the missing pieces of the sculpt #hobbystreak 1179

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Put down a coat of matte varnish on the Fallen Divinity this morning to knock back the shine from the gloss, but it was still super glossy this evening, so I laid down a second coat to cure overnight and then primed the rest of my Terrans #hobbystreak 1178

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Did some undershot airbrush shading on the Fallen Divinity and laid down a coat of gloss varnish. Built two regiments of Kanephors and got them all primed and drybrushed, and then got in a final practice game before the tournament next weekend #hobbystreak 1177

0310

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Got quite a bit of work done tonight in preparation for the oil step, which I think'll happen on Saturday. Tomorrow I'll varnish everything and do a little bit of undershot shading #hobbystreak 1176

0260

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Got the Fallen Divinity all blocked up. Did a little wet blending on the wing which'll need to be refined but I wanted to see what it would look like before getting more stuck in #hobbystreak 1175

0251

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Started blocking in the Fallen Divinity. Should be able to get the wings blocked up tomorrow night #hobbystreak 1174

0262

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Painted up the base for the Fallen Divinity and attached the dogs to it. Tomorrow we start the piece for real #hobbystreak 1173

0464

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Got the second spooky dog finished up. Moving on to the base next #hobbystreak 1172

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Inspired from my game last night, I started painting up the start of my Fallen Divinity. Got one of the two hounds done #hobbystreak 1171

0513

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Built two squads of Zealots and got a game of Conquest in as more tournament prep #hobbystreak 1170

0251

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I completely forgot to post last night! Finished blocking in the Marines and now I need to figure out how muzzle flashes work #hobbystreak 1169

2324

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Started blocking in a big Marine squad #hobbystreak 1168

2464

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Played my first game of StarCraft into Protoss - lots of fun. Probably going to start painting some Marines tomorrow #hobbystreak 1167

3506

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Painted some eyeballs and flesh tones on the Zealots. Greens and probably metals tomorrow #hobbystreak 1165

1453

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Got in a test game as prep for an upcoming tournament - played into an OD mirror match, and also built an Omega Worm for StarCraft #hobbystreak 1164

0272

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I'm hanging out with friends tonight,and wanted to get my painting done ahead of time. Broke with tradition (which is to do eyes and skin tones first) and painted the yellow robes #hobbystreak 1163

0414

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Taking a brief detour into my Cosmere commission to block in a pair of Zealots #hobbystreak 1162

0276

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Got the shields attached to the Legionnaires! I'll base them once I have the rest of the regiment done #hobbystreak 1161

3668

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Shields all aged up using a variety of techniques. Varnish, edge highlights, and attaching them to the Legionnaires tomorrow #hobbystreak 1160

0444

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Brought back the metals by popping on some edge highlights, which brightens everything up, and started prepping the shields #hobbystreak 1159

0361

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Used the last of my magnets and built through almost all of the rest of my StarCraft Terran minis. Back to painting tomorrow #hobbystreak 1158

0301

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Printed up a set of four extra Zealots for my Cosmere commission #hobbystreak 1157

0202

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Painted all of the incidental stuff - wood grain on the spears, leather straps and sandals, and the cloth grips. All that's left for these guys is a last trip to the varnish booth and some edge highlights on the armor before I get their shields painted and base them #hobbystreak 1156

0261

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Painted up the red blends, which serves as a really fun shock of colour on the fellas here. I'm going to do the leathers and woods tomorrow, I think #hobbystreak 1155

1261

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Varnished the regiment twice and put down the oils, which really aged the skeleton warriors nicely. I think I want to do the reds tomorrow to pump up some saturation #hobbystreak 1154

0311

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Setting up for an attempt at verdigris on a stand of Legionnaires. Blocked everything in as well #hobbystreak 1152

0273

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Picked up some StarCraft minis (very exciting) and built a regiment of Marines #hobbystreak 1150

1251

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Started the green blends on the Brightladies #hobbystreak 1149

0271

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Ran a demo down at my FLGS for a new player tonight, 100k versus the skeleton warriors #hobbystreak 1148

0181

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Changing gears and swapping back to my Cosmere commission, blocked in a pair of Brightladies #hobbystreak 1147

Got everything based up on the Longbows. Despite how much time these took, I'm really happy with the result #hobbystreak 1146 #conquest #miniaturepainting #minipainting

3464

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Added extra doodads to the bases, applied another layer of texture paste to hide the seams, primed everything, and got a game in with my OD into a friend's Spires #hobbystreak 1145

0260

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Pried the Longbows off of their bases to slap on some texture paste. While I was curing, I built and prepped a regiment of Athanatoi #hobbystreak 1144

0300

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Did some bird searching, and decided to try and paint some pheasants for the Longbows. Basing starts tomorrow #hobbystreak 1143

0442

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Painted in all of the TMM. Birds on the quivers tomorrow #hobbystreak 1142

1433

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Varnished the Longbows up, and while that cures overnight, I built a regiment of Athanatoi #hobbystreak 1141

0270

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Last stand done! Just need to figure out the birds on some of the quivers and the metals #hobbystreak eleven-forty

0282

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Finished up the blacks and whites on the Command Stand. One more stand to go before the metals and basing #hobbystreak 1139

0240

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Decided that today was going to be a construction day, so I built a regiment of Buccephaloi and a regiment of Karyatids #hobbystreak 1138

1311

Bren @heyitsbren.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Lots of little details and edge highlights - did all of the black stuff, boosted the whites on the feathers on the arrows, and popped in a little bit of hair shading. More or less done the stand outside of the metals, and the birds on some of the quivers #hobbystreak 1137
