You should see Cheetor's hobby room. It's lush. Still, I could never throw out miniatures, at the very least they go into the bits box!<br /><br />What I'm looking forward to next with Victor here is seeing how his story evolves on the table. I'm a narrative junky, and seeing how particular characters fare in games is one of the great joys of the hobby. The dice and rules etc all add up to the marvellous illusion of the character making their own choices to some extent. It makes for plenty of laughs more often than not as well.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-30335888961977684712017-02-07T06:53:44.690+00:002017-02-07T06:53:44.690+00:00I know, I know.... but I only have so much room in...I know, I know.... but I only have so much room in the house!!!

I dabbed on gloss varnish to seal them as I had no actual sealer, it seemed to work well enough. They darkened a little, but not much.<br /><br />Needle pistol eh? It certainly looks more like a needle pistol than a bolt pistol.

I took a look at some of Duncan's videos on the space wolves. Base coat of 1:1 Shadow Grey: Space Wolf Grey. Then a recess wash with Agrax Earthshade. Then a 1:1 wash of Agrax Earthshade:Lahmian Medium once the recess shade was dry. Then a really light drybrush of the basecoat. Then edge highlight of about 4-5 layers, blending up to pure Shadow Grey. Then line the joins in the armour with Scorched Brown. The chips are also Scorched Brown. Underline the chops with a 2:1 mix of Space Wolves Grey and Shadow Grey. The dirt on his feet is a light dusting with Old Rust pigment from Basecrafts. I'd never used pigment before, I'm definitely into using it some more.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-58565421002364005172017-02-03T09:25:54.762+00:002017-02-03T09:25:54.762+00:00Cheers!
