Just a girl who builds, converts, and paints miniatures. Primarily I play Warhammer Fantasy, but I've been known to paint other things from time to time! Inbox is always open, so feel free to contact me through my Ask, or [email protected]/

Wood Elves warband complete!

I know y'all have seen most of these models already but I didn't snap nice pictures with the good lighting and backdrop, plus I wanted them all in one post.

[sara-paints]

Getting pretty close to done now. Mostly I just need to finish the wings and get them glued to the Dancers, and finish the bases.

My back is hurting and I've got laundry to do, so I'm leaving them here for the night. I might get some done tomorrow but I've got some extended weekend vacation plans and won't be back until Wednesday.

Young people, help me out. Am I being mogged on? Are they mogging me? I'm 46, I'm no longer a rizzler. My aura is rancid.

Did this as a test bed for an upcoming commission.

That is a FABULOUS miniature! Where's it from??

WIP on my last 3 models for my Wood Elves skirmish warband. I'm really enjoying incorporating pink as a color into these models. We get so caught up in making stuff violent and grimdark that sometimes we forget how fun it is to make something beautiful (and also violent).

If you are my girlfriend, Wendy, stop! This post is NOT for you! These are glamour shots of your birthday gift. Do not look under the cut!

Okay if you're still here, check this out!

I wish I could post WIP pics of the mini I'm currently painting but it's a birthday gift for my girlfriend and she follows this blog soooo...

[sara-paints]

Me : hm. Airbrush seems pretty clean, shouldn't need much cleaning...

Also me :

Triarch Stalker / Spider Walker done. I think this is the last Robot Legions model I'm going to do for a while. I feel very satisfied that I've done a good job painting up this army. It's time for a break, to print and paint something else for a while.

Rest in peace, John Blanche

The father of Warhammer 40k art direction and the man that has inspired me as an artist, down to inspiring my current artstyle (and I am sure will continue to inspire me, even in death). 40k just wouldn't be 40k had it not been for the foundation of grimdark sci-fi that he laid.

Farewell, you absolute legend.

One more WIP pic, I think, then I'm just gonna finish this thing. I'm in the home stretch now.

[sara-paints]

That's all the purple done. I really like larger minis like this, as you get enough room to make the gradients really nice.

We'z got us one o'dem walkin'oomie Boss Rocks, Lads!

[copperforge]

Made some progress, I'm glad I had some Ardboys back in the box.. Also, the 'Oomies should build their stuff a little roomier 🤨

[sara-paints]

Not sure the Empire Engineer Corps had sentient angry mushrooms in mind when they built the thing, my dude ;)

I didn't realize you were going to make that a LOOTED Siege Tower Thingie!! That's so fucking badass, CF, great progress so far!

[sara-paints]

Probably won't be much more progress on the spider tank until Sunday / Monday at the earliest. I might get a little done tomorrow, but certainly not finish it. I've got a busy few days ahead, including the first Pride of the season on Saturday.

Have a great weekend everyone, and happy hobbying!

[sara-paints]

Pretty good progress on the Spider Tank / Triarch Stalker today. I think tomorrow it'll be easy enough to finish the purple, clean up the silver in the leg joints a bit, lay down some Striking Scorpion green in the glowing bits, and do a touch of OSL to round things out.

Forge Spider / Canoptek Spyder

Not gonna lie, this is probably my best miniature to date. I had a plan for the OSL shining from the bottom of the spider, and I think I executed it pretty well! It's always a good sign when you have to keep doing double-takes to see if it's actually an LED in the miniature you just painted. I got so excited about the OSL that I almost forgot the touches of gold on the tops of the legs and front of the carapace.
