PED Challenge (0 missed days)

I'm spent. I got pretty much every Chaos Dwarf colored I had glued together. Now I need to take a week or so to just prep more guys to be painted.
I do have some monsters and bigger stuff ready, but am so scared of actually starting them, fearing I'm gonna mess them up somehow (and I've not decided their colors either).

Here's the last thing I got painted. A Gunnery Team, or at least half of it. I've not decided what I'll give the other dwarf to hold on to. The pebble funnel at the top is also still unpainted.

PED Challenge (0 missed days)

Three more dorfs. Two more Citadel Guardians and my first Blunderbuss Warrior at the ready!

The Blunderbuss Warrior took its time, because I really wanted to have it perfect. The goofy old 90's blunderbusses were one of the reasons I fell in love with the Chaos Dwarfs, and now I got them mixed up with my modern Russian Alternative miniatures!

Next up is something different.

All of the painted Citadel Guards.

PED* Challenge (0 missed days)

Well, actually one missed day, but it was a force majeure situation. I made a deeep cut in my finger with the x-acto knife while converting my Dwarfs.
Don't worry though, I will try to make more convoluted excuses to keep my missed days at zero!
(* Paint Every Day means every day that I've not scheduled anything else to do, or have something semi-urgent come up.)



Well here's a picture of the Warriors once again. There's two more of them, and its starting to look like a real unit!
Behind them are two more Citadel Guards and next to them is a Goblin by Mantic Games.
I wanted to have my Hobgoblins made of them, because they have fun faces, are cheap, and they have good variety of weapon options available.
The downside to those fuckers are aplenty. They're made with PVC, which is a bitch to work with, and they have awful details (I'm thinking because of the PVC). The sculpts are also pretty bad, and I'm not sure which parts are which. All these make them awful to paint.
Also, they do not resemble Hobgoblins that much. They are supposed to taller and lankier than normal Goblins.

So my quest to find the best plastic Hobgoblin stand-ins continues. I'm currently looking at Storm Vermin bodies combined with older Goblin parts (GW and GW). Like this.

I'm currently still painting just infantry dwarfs. I can say however, that the next one after those two is something different. They are still under the knife, but I think I'd get them ready early next week.

PED Challenge (11 or 12 days)

12th or 11th day of not skipping a single day of painting. The main thing is that it's been zero days of not painting, so I'll be using the days-skipped metric from here on out.

I just finished the three Citadel Guards. Took a picture of them, but seems that I took it too close for comfort. The attention I'm giving these miniatures does not go well with how close I took the shot. I try to be better with my photography.

These three are also a bit boring looking by comparison, since the limited color palette and not showing their faces. But the plan of differentiating them from the Warriors worked out pretty good.
