Hive Guard Done

I finished another unit for the 2013 Hobby Progress Challenge. My plan to get ahead hasn't worked too well so far since I keep switching back to my imperial fists when I do

Got a few more items done on the Tyranids for the Hobby Progress Challenge

First is the before shot

Here is the Tervigon Complete (March Commitment)

 With Crushing Claws

And with Scything Talons

Here is a close up showing the highlighting on the carapace

I also got the two Tyrant Guard completed (April Commitment)

February commitment done!

I completed this month's hobby progress challenge. The little guys took longer than expected, partly due to some hobby apathy. I think I will get pics up for the rest of the gaunts so I can start getting them done even though they will be one of my end of the year commitments.

In the meantime here are some more interesting projects I just purchased :)

February Hobby Commitment

Here's my February commitment for the Hobby Progress Challenge: Ten Termagaunts

January Progress Complete

Completed my hobby progress for January. I finished the model with some highlighting and touch ups to the shading. I also finished the base. On to the next unit. 

January Challenge WIP

So here's the start of my January commitment for the hobby progress challenge

Swarmlord base coated

After army painter quick shade

I did see an odd effect. In the pooled area by his front right vent, there is a "webbing effect" that occured after I varnished the model with dull coat. I think it was either too cold when I did it or I didn't let the quickshade dry long enough

After this, I just need to do some highlighting and paint up his base

New attempt at blogging/Joining IC's Hobby Progress Challenge

 So, I'm going to give this whole blogging thing another shot. I'm joining the Independent Character's Hobby Progress Challeng and needed to host my own images, so I figure what the heck, I might as well blog my progress as well ;)

I plan on re-working the site's look as well as buying a photo booth to use with my D-SLR. Unfortunately, due to low batteries you will have to deal with a phone camera for the image of my intended painting project for this month.

Edit: Here is a link to my forum thread for anyone interested
