I tried out some Woodland Scenics flock for basing on the Growlers this week. I think it works but is still missing something. I'll give the Silfor tufts a shot at some point and see how they go together.

I also finished up the Landhawk Scouts this week too. I would have liked to have had them in the comp but I didn't get the cockpit jeweling done in time.

Finally, the Dwarves weren't holding my attention much so I swung back towards my first WM army. These Sword Masters have been a long time in coming. I still need to finish up their command but in the meantime I started in on the rank and file for two units worth.

Additionally, I thought it was time to work on something completely superfluous for the army. Namely, casualty counters. What general wouldn't want to represent his own troops brutally hacked apart and left for dead on the battlefield?

It's been quite painting-wise these past couple of months. Recently I've been working on some Microworld Games TEF Growlers for EpiComp. I had originally intended to camo them yellow and green, but ended up going with this scheme instead on a whim. I think they came out alright, and it gave me a bit of practice with my airbrush. I'm not sure how time I saved using it though.

All done with these guys, time for some glamor shots.

These Obliterators were the other things I was working on in secret, as they're a gift for my buddy Chris.

Now that EpiComp and the gifts are done it's time to head back to the High Elves!

I meant to post these up Monday but for forgot my card reader at home one day, and the card the other. Anyway I made some progress on these since then. The missile tanks are done, just need to finish up the regular tanks.

Here's a few closeups of the APCs. I'm happy enough with them considering how quick I painted them up.

Finally, here's my last entry in the EpiComp, sixteen stands of Baccus' sci-fi human infantry. The body armor/suit is done now, just need to pick out the details and do the base.

The blue is nearly done on these guys, just three more missile tanks to go. I'm hoping to finish that and the black up tonight and the detailing over the course of the week. With any luck they'll be done come Friday and I'll be on to some Bacuss sci-fi infantry.

Photographing this dark blue is tough, it always comes out much shinier than in real life. Hopefuly a dullcote will take care of that.

Like I said last week, very little progress on these guys. The mail has been washed and drybrushed silver and I laid down the base for the white on the command stands and one rank-and-file strip. Hopefully I'll be able to return to these guys in early Decemeber to get them done for January.

Here's what I've been working on for the EpiComp, no linking to these from TacComm Matt! They're Microworld Games 6mm Foundationalist grav-tanks. I converted some of the weapons so I could use them as Tau proxies.

I've got to finish up the weapons but after that I'm going to hit them with some selective washing and two to three highlights depending on how they look/how long it takes.
