I finished the last three Orx:

Now all I need to do is add the numerical decals to all the team's backplates and the second team ist done.

Today I managed to paint two more Goblins - I hope I can keep up that momentum...

Maki Games¶

I was tempted by this the first time I saw it... and resisted... now, two hours before the end of the KS campaign, I succumbed to my wargaming desires...

At least this will not add to my pile of unpainted lead ... ;-)

Empress Miniatures¶

Well, I have not made any progress with my Dreadball Orx, but that of course does not stop me from looking for new projects - which will probably just add to the pile of unpainted lead, but I guess you know what I am talking about...

Thanks to the announcement on theminiaturespage.com, I could not resist 20 US Marines with boonie hats in contemporary equipment... Empress Miniatures 'Devil Dogs And Dragons' 28mm Figures .

As the project collected 5,000Â£ of the needed 7,500Â£ within 1.5 days, I think it will get certainly funded and I hope for a lot of stretch goals... which are automatically covered by my pledge level :-)

And here is the colour scheme test model:

Now only 9 more models :)

Balls¶

Today I gave OSL (object source lightning) my first try. I airbrushed four tones of consecutive lighter shades of metallic tones onto the balls, using a steeper angle of the airbrush the lighter the colour got.

I think it is not to bad for a first try, but anyone who is able to produce OSL effects will probably laugh...

After the airbrushing, I painted the crevices black, then a thin line of white into the middle. Finally, I used a yellow green, a blue and a purple wash to imitate glowing. Unfortunately, on the photos the washes are not very visible... Using your eyes the effect is much more visible.

I added the numerical decals using

Here is the result

I am pondering whether to add a team logo to the models, but I am not sure about it yet. My current idea is to create a template from masking tape and apply the logo using my airbrush. As I never did something like this before lets see...
