Lucius is done!
Now I am ready for the "bring one mini of your choice"-challenge at the local Warhammer Store next weekend.
It was a very welcome kick in the butt to get me to finally build and paint him. Apparently I am motivated by competitive stuff. Who would have thunk.

Now back to painting the winter Squigs.

My local Warhammer Store has a Christmas Challenge.
And that's what I needed to get out of my hobbying slump.
I will build a winter wonderland for Squigs!
I started with the base and it's in its first stages.

I want to paint minis so bad! But when I'm stressed it just doesn't work. I need a relaxed mind for that!

I have so many supercool minis to paint! Like my Squig-herd. Or my pinup-EC. Or Vulkan and Fulgrim, both of which I already started but who now sit on my desk, doing nothing.

Damn.

I hope the stressful weeks are now over.

Action shot of today's hobbying. I zenithaled Fulgrim and a son of Vulkan. The latter will be used for testing the green Shifter Paint hues before I put them on Vulkan himself. He will be so shiny and pretty! And I will test Shifters over darkened metallics. Let's see how it will work out!

I finished the base for Vulkan.
I went for a non-traditional colour scheme for Salamanders. 😁

And because I can I added a bit of UV colour. Just for shits and giggles.

A painted base with ruins and blue lava flows that change to white in the hotter parts. Some fumaroles spew steam and a few cacti, changing their colour from green to violet, are there, too.

Sloppity Bilepiper and his Little Lord are done!

As usual, I had a lot of fun with bright colours and gradients. The mushrooms have Shifter Paints-caps and UV-glow dots, There's coloured resin and a lot of swamp gel for added Nurgleness.

The Litle Lord is taking to the stage, singing (or screeching? Squeaking? Belching) to the tune of the Bilepipers bagpipe.

Today's hobbying: Painting the base for the Sloppity Bilepiper and his Nurgling.

I built it to look like a little stage. Nurgling will go on the front, Bilepaper in the back.

I used a lot of swamp gel and coloured some UV-resin, too. Also, Shifter colours on the mushroom heads and UV-glowing plasma coil effect colour on Mushroom-dots.

Today I got up at 5:30 and was full of hobbying spirit!

So I got the Shifter paint on Lucius and even added some details.

Tomorrow: More details, base and done!

I love the Shifters effect on his armour. It's not as overwhelming as with my test-mini and it fits him so perfectly!

I started painting my Mini of the Month.
Using colours to reflect the base, as usual.

I never had a sprint process at work, but for some reason it's my go to procedure for minipainting.

Tomorrow: details. 😁

There were 3D printed Marvin cupcake toppers at @suvidu's and @Tobi_k's garden party (I thought it was sugar and took a bite. Mistake).
I took my little guy home, gave him a base and painted him.

Not his canonically colours, of course. 😊

Mixed everything I wanted. NMM, OSL, shifter paint... Just a wild ride! 😁

This is the funniest reverse pink tax ever!
This cheapo Airbrush set is available in pink or black. It's identical except for the colour.
But the pink one is five Euro less and comes in a box labeled "Beauty Airbrush Set".
Of course I took the pink one. 🐙😁

And now let's see if I like it.

I bought a mimic miniature for 3 Euro, because she's such a precious baby!

Yesterday she arrived and today I primed her.

I love painting Warhammer, but I think I need to branch out a little bit to learn more about miniature painting.

I'm already planning my base for the Mini of the Month for August.

Half lava, half ice, snow and crystals.

And most likely a Salamander, because this guy is very slick for a Space Wolf, Blood Claw or not! 😊

So lots of colours! Cold from one side, fire from the other. That'll be fun to paint!

Hobbyspace finished and oddly cosy now!
I put my fairy lights and curtains back up and now it's even better than before the thorough renovation.

Now all I need is @Tobi_k 's magic to add my computer/digital drawing stuff in a most ergonomic way to the other side of the room. 😊

Dear Hobbyspace!
On a whim I bought a Shifter Colour from Vallejo - and now I am at a loss on how to use it.

Has anyone some pointers for me? When? Where? How much? After painting? Instead of? I am clueless.

A friend put it on her Magnus-mini and said "it looks like someone came on him", so I think that's not the intended use.

I wasn't in the mood for hobbying the last few weeks. But now I pulled myself together and at least did some low-key base painting for 30k-no-Snek-Fulgrim.
It's not finished, yet, but nearly.

Just a short "I'm alive!"-message.
I'm still recovering from my transplantation and my apartment is getting renovated, too - so I have no opportunity to do some hobbying or drawing.

Let's hope the situation calms down over the course of the next month. I have some Possessed to paint!

So what have I done today to relax and distract myself?

I built me the Ratling Warpblaster from the Skaventide box set.
