Custodes Hobby Update: Venatari Complete

Although I hoped to whip through the Venatari, I admit there was more detail there, and a lot of it slowed me down. I feel at this point I have a great way of doing ‘Custode Gold’ … a few versions of it depending on the model. Yet the cloth and wings on these guys can slow you down. The

Prot’s Hobby/Life update: The Blog, Admech, Custodes, 9th Ed, Army Sale (?) and more.

Hello to everyone. It’s been a while. Work has had me busier than perhaps I’ve ever been during this period as everyone is getting used to a new ‘normal’ with Covid-19.

These aren’t the best pictures but the timing is good since the release of “Ritual of the Damned” (Book 4 in the Psychic Awakening series). Starting with the man himself; Ahriman. He took a lot longer than I wanted, but he’s pretty much in every

The Eldar Paint Scheme Continues: Struggles with the Wraithfighter.

So the Hemlock Wraithfighter is now complete, and usable. It was something where I wanted to tweak the main scheme a bit, but not deviate too far from the previous units. Keep it ‘scifi-ish’ without getting too goofy with the high contrasts I’ve chosen for the army. This is a more ‘fluid’ version of the scheme with a transition of
