Working up a concept proof of my Warp Talon scheme for #HobbyStreak day 614, which is looking good so far! I am wondering if I should vary the claws though - I'd normally do a basic lightning, but should it be green for the warp-yness?

Grabbed the opportunity and spraycoated my Warp Talons and their boss for #HobbyStreak day 613, then I spent my time experimenting with mutation schemes; I really want to get the daemonic element in so I think I'm going with something like this (poor test marine, he's been through a lot)

Gaining energy from the wonderful comments recently I powered through and finished my (ex)Atramentar Lord for #HobbyStreak day 612!
The huge skin cape was a problem, being too big to be a single hide and quite plain, so I tried to add stitching and a (mostly intentionally) rough legion tattoo

@inq28blokia.bsky.social has achieved a 1,000 day hobby streak and you should absolutely check out their minis, but I really like the sentiment here - it speaks to why I do it and how it's helped me relax with my hobby
#hobbystreak 1000 Hobby little and often, a few minutes here and there adds up. When your hobby goal is to hobby and relax, it is hard to be disappointed in your progress.
When the goal is to spend time with your hobby it doesnt matter how many models you finish or if they will win competitions.

Picking at details and working on the base for #HobbyStreak Day 610 - for some reason I'm shying away from doing the steel on this mini

Got the Lord all sprayed up and started on the armour layers for #HobbyStreak day 609... looks a little Thousand Sons at the moment 😆

I would love to see a hobby company bring in nervous amateurs to test their products.
"Look at what the highly skilled pros can do!"
Pfft. I bet they could make art with school paints and a loaf of bread. Let's see what regular hobbyists can do with it!

Nothing as photogenic as yesterday for #HobbyStream day 608; did a little tidying of the desk and experimented with some EVA foam for basing textures.. it didn't go as I'd hope - more attempts planned! I did revisit my Atramentar Lord though to add some final details and prep him for spraying.

I think it's... done? The Little Monster may actually be finished for #HobbyStreak day 607! Painted in a bunch of details and spent ages just touching and retouching areas as they caught my eye, but I think I've hit the point of just fidgeting. Final step will be to varnish and get some beauty shots

More layers of stuff on the base for #HobbyStreak day 606, which I think I've got to a good place now... it might be time for final details all over?

Detour via the base for #HobbyStreak day 605 for a bit more fun splashing colours around

Continuing to just have fun weathering and layering the Brigand for #HobbyStreak day 604, but I did also work on a few details to bring some life to it

Having fun playing with colours and textures for #HobbyStreak day 603 - just a big cathartic mess

What a weekend (derogatory) and today was a day when I could so easily have not hobbied, but it would have been the start of a series of excuses.
I shall not be stopped!
Starting to block in colours and textures on the Brigand for #HobbyStreak day 602

Space Marines being completely overshadowed in my feed by the Dwarves tease/leak is both funny and heartwarming

What a disaster of a day. Managed to cobble together enough brain at the end to spraycoat the Brigand for #HobbyStreak day 601
It did pull together quite nicely though

Much less exciting than I'd hope for #HobbyStreak day 600, but such is life; I think I've finished the base! I like the idea of this thing stalking through ruins after some horrible, Nurgly daemonic event, so I added touches of broken buildings as if the ground vomited something up

Working on the basing detail for #HobbyStreak day 599; mostly just building up texture in the bald spots while starting to think about the narrative of it... No idea where it's headed at the moment

Figured out the melta-thing for #HobbyStreak day 597! Had to make some nifty little adjustments to get it fitted, but I can finally start detailing this silly beast

Progress on what my brain has already dubbed, "the murder puffin", for #HobbyStreak day 596, although ultimately I hope it ends up more, "plague puffin".
Still need to figure out the melta situation before I get to detailing

Starting to get a feel for the new Brigand's vibe which lead to spending #HobbyStreak day 595 adapting this spare "bit" as basing material.
I did some other gap filling etc... too, but way less interesting visually
