Alan's Hobby Log

[Agent0range]

Hi all,

Thought I'd create myself a hobby log to show off my stuff as I paint it, and get some feedback as well.  I've got quite a bit of my Astra Militarum painted, but have recently started a small Chaos army, and my Dark Elves are an ongoing project:

The list below are the models I've got that are unpainted and that I'm going to try and get done this year.  I'm remaining hopeful but I tend to paint very slowly, as I'm a bit of a fiend for the small details. :

Some of my recently finished pieces:

Chaos Cultists

I had loads of fun painting these guys. They've got loads of awesome details.  It's a shame they'll die like cattle on the table

Chaos Space Marine Squad (or part of)

My first try at OSL with the airbrush.  I really liked how the plasma glow came out on these, and will certainly be using this technique in the future.

Chaos Rhinos

Had a go at using the Forge World weathering powders, and really pleased with how it came out.  Unfortunately, when I sprayed the varnish on the model, the Isopropyl alcohol used to bind the powder seems to have reacted with the varnish, and it came out a bit frosty

Witch Elves

Really fun painting these ladies but took me ages. If I was to get a big unit of these with a cauldron I think it would take me ages to paint another 20 of these girls.  They rank up terribly as well!

I'm just finishing a unit of Dark Riders and an assassin, so hopefully pictures will follow next weekend.

Comments and criticism welcome
