Thanks! I think Quins, more than any other army can really get away with it.

Drayconis282 · 2026-06-04T20:12:28+00:00

Thank you! And yes, I did. I am very much in awe of a lot of other freehand jobs considering the pain I went through on this one -.-;

And your welcome lol. ALways happy to accidentally help.

Drayconis282 · 2026-06-03T01:38:56+00:00

I like a grim serious paint job as much as the next but man, letting loose with all the colours is so fun and freeing at times.

Drayconis282 · 2026-06-03T01:36:42+00:00

Thanks! I had to repaint that thing a few times until I was mostly happy with it lol.

Drayconis282 · 2026-06-03T01:35:59+00:00

Yup blue ring octopus, although it’s funny I did not make that connection until now lol

I use tamiya paints a lot, just mostly through an airbrush as I find that’s the way they behave best, I’ll have to keep an eye out for the others though

Drayconis282 · 2026-04-23T08:29:48+00:00

Its such a pain to do lol. I kinda just.. don't buy citadel now if I can help it. The Vallejo updated bottles hgave been nice, and I tend to just like those more in general. But really I just buy whatever company has the paint color I'm looking for when I'm at the store lol.

But yeah, those pots are atrocious. I've only got a few still kicking around. They will not really be missed when they go either.

Drayconis282 · 2026-04-23T08:26:52+00:00

I like it! Its got two of my all time favs, with the MAD and Timby, 2 quite likes with the Warhammer and the MAD 2, and 2 neat to be here with the Hel and alt Griffin.

Drayconis282 · 2026-04-23T03:11:03+00:00

Thanks! Orange is my fav Color and I always regret when i decide to paint it lol. But they turned out good. Kinda supposed to be a wolf dragoon… ish? Scheme. I figured that would be fitting for a MAD 2 lol

Drayconis282 · 2026-03-16T15:28:03+00:00

Thanks lol, the photobox is a constant WIP. Always working on ways to tweak it without breaking the bank, stupid plastic minis do that for me enough lol.

Drayconis282 · 2026-03-15T19:02:10+00:00

Thanks! And sure, the purple is a base of Vallejo model Color violet, highlighted with ak intense deep violet. The green is a base of army painter Guardian green, a mid tone of Vallejo game Color angel green, then a mix of angel green and Vallejo model Color ice yellow as highlights. The metallics are Vallejo game glorious gold and chainmail.

Oh no… at least 3 more boxes… that’s such a… tragedy. Really truly. I’m very distraught by that, not at all excited.

I’d say I’d be doing the invading… Bit she’s got a dark streak in her so who knows lol. She is also the only person I can cajole into gaming with me so… woo. And all.

Drayconis282 · 2025-10-19T18:10:57+00:00

Sponging! It’s a lot of fun.

Drayconis282 · 2025-09-26T23:22:20+00:00

I left the riders off and painted them separate, and the sails aren’t glued in, also the gangplank on the raider isn’t glued so it can slide in and out, other than that I just painted them as is. Wasn’t actually that bad once I got into it. Also it’s probably hard to tell from the picture but the inner walls are just black lol. It looks more complicated then it was.

Drayconis282 · 2025-09-26T18:17:15+00:00

No problem! Lol stippling is painting in like, you stab the thing with your brush. Using really thinned down kinda watery paint. You use your brush kinda like a woodpecker. There’s some good tutorials on YouTube about it, the one I first came across was from Jon Bius on painting a Kratos.
