Doggo's Painting Bloggo

I've mostly been painting Stormcast Eternals recently, and I was excited to add these fine folks to my army. I like the models and I like the rules, and I figured I would do a step by step post showing my progress. I wanted to have a bit more to show before posting but I've not been too well and haven't got any painting done in the past couple of days so I decided to just throw up what I have lest this blog die on the vine.  There are two of these and I am painting them side by side but the process is the same so I am only photographing one as I go. Here we start with a Corax White undercoat. I normally prime my Stormcasts with a mid-grey primer but the dracoline has a lot of light tones so it's easier to work over the off-white base.  It will also be helpful when I get to the face which on this model is exposed flesh. The first thing to do is the metal armour on the man himself. I always start with this step as priming light means you really do need to get into all th...

 Despite being into minis games for somewhere around 6 or 7 years, I only properly started enjoying painting within the last 18 months. So as you can imagine, I started putting in a lot more effort and my results became considerably better. So the blog has some more content on its first day, here is a little timeline of some of my painting to give you an idea of how I've improved over time. Below is a selection of models that I would consider to be representative of my best painting at any particular time.     Starting off above, we have Lenny from Malifaux on the left. He was essentially the first model I ever painted. Technically as a kid I painted some models, we used to get the Lord of the Rings magazine, and I had some 40k models too but I never really painted properly. Looking back, I don't think I did too terrible of a job considering what I was working with. At this point I painted with -- and I am not making this up -- unthinned acrylics for traditional canvas p...

 Howdy! I am Doggo and this is my painting bloggo. I figured I'd start up a blog just to keep track of my painting exploits, and what better place to start than the models I finished today? So for the inaugral post here let's start with some pretty basic guys. You'll be seeing a lot of this colour scheme in the coming posts as I have been working my way through the Mortal Realms magazine over the last year and a half. It's what got me properly into painting, and I've been quite enjoying Age of Sigmar 3rd edition. Left & Right: Liberators Prime, Centre: Sequitor Prime        The first thing you'll notice is of course that the bases are not done. This is because I mostly like to do bases in batches, but you'll see the basing I settled on for my Stormcast Eternals sometime soon I'm sure. Otherwise, these guys follow the regular colour scheme that I have been using, mostly chosen on a whim a while back when I decided to start painting them up. I had fair...
