Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

[MGibster]

Despite saying I wouldn’t get anymore unpainted minis until I finished the ones I have, I couldn’t resist this Jabberwock, I still have a few small touches, but happy with the progress so far…

I knew full well there was no way I could follow through on a promise not to buy more minis until I finished what I had.

And here's an Apothocary Biologis from Warhammer 40k. So, I didn't know until after I painted this that it wasn't just a regular Apothocary figure. The Apothocary Biologis doesn't help heal your troops, it makes your troops better at killing other forces. Taking photos can really help you fix some flaws. I've fixed the errant gold paint on his knee as well as the decal looking funny. I've got more of these, so I need to figure out a better way to put those decals on shoulders.

In buying that new mini I did end up painting a bunch of old stuff once I got going, so was worth it to get a bit of inspiration.

You probably know about them, but on the off chance - have you tried microsol and microset?

Yup. They really do help decals adhere and especially so on uneven surfaces.

Try a coat of gloss varnish before applying the decal. It will smoothen out the surface. Together with MicroSol and MicroSet that should do the trick.

Now I've got my Librarian and Captain completed. I don't know what kind of Librarian he is, I've never tried to borrow one of his books.

I think you'll be fine unless you fail to return a book on time

An Imperial Fist in Terminator armor. I’m mostly happy with the yellow, but I’m not sure if I want it to be brighter.
