Here they are.  I had a little extra time, so I was able to get the Bones version of Andre Durand done today, too.  Total: 14.

I've got to work on my photo booth before I get any beauty shots for Show Off.

Here are my results for the paint binge!

 

I needed a troll fighter so...

My friends helped me test a new game I created so I made a small gift....

I still had some smog rider figures from last year's Reapercon to paint:

and my favorite, the Genie, Djinn, or something like that:

This poor girl went through the ringer.

I went to spray it with dull coat and found out the hard way the spray PAINT and the spray LACQUER rattle cans look almost identical...

I only caught her with a glancing shot of spray paint but it still took several hours to repair.

I try to maintain the habit of always spraying the edge of the box lid or whatever I have miniatures laid out on first, to make sure I really am holding the can I think I am ...

      First painted this as a speed paint at Reapercon last year.  Not a prize winner, but not too bad for tabletop in under an hour. 
       

       
      And then there was the tip of his hat. 
       
      So I grabbed some paint an did a quick clean up/repaint to spiff him up a bit.

      Great Worm (Bones)

      It's definitely a worm, and it's definitely purple. Speed paint.

      Speed Painting A Stargrave Crew
      By Rat13
      Though I have no actual intention of playing until Quarantine 37 is released I went ahead and created a Stargrave crew. Initially this was only an excuse to start planning out the crew and maybe even finalizing a list/crew sheet. Once I had finished filling out the crew sheet however I couldn't help but notice that I probably had all the figures needed for this crew. A quick rifle through my backlog just confirmed my suspicion. Even more interesting though, at least for me, was the rediscovery that I don't own any unpainted Guardsmen with flamers. I had planned to paint one up specifically for this crew but it turns out I don't own any unpainted ones. So before the project even began I've already finished a miniature, talk about speed painting. 
       
      Armed with the remaining nine figures I decided this would be a nice palette cleansing project. Oh yes, I actually made that joke. It also occurred to me that this would be a great project to try my hand at speed painting too. After a few years of debatably tabletop quality paintjobs I'm eager to see the results I can achieve when I'm trying to paint quickly.  
       
      One quick note before jumping in, this single post condenses four nights of work all together. 

      Back row from left to right: My Captain, First Mate, Gunner, Burner, Sniper, Grenadier, Runner 1, and Runner 2
      Front row: Recruit 1, and Recruit 2 
       

      First up was my Captain who needed some conversion work. I'm not exactly worried about WYSIWYG for this particular batch but I figured my Captain deserved the extra "effort". That extra effort being laughable once you see it.  


      A quick snip of the hand, a pin, and some glue completed the conversion. I'm not exactly big into converting but this may just be the lowest effort conversion I've ever done. 
       

      Painting the Captain proved to be a little more involved but about half a session later I had a nearly finished miniature. The First Mate went even quicker as I chose to go with a limited color scheme.
       
       
      Next were my three remaining specialists. My Gunner like the Captain took about half of a painting session with the Sniper and Grenadier taking most of the remaining time. That bit of leftover time wasn't wasted though as Recruit 1 received most of its basecoat.
       

      My two recruits were finished pretty quickly during tonight's session. The Runners received most of their basecoat but I ended up running out of time tonight.

      This is my first "speed paint". I estimate around 2 hours per mini. The sculpts are hit or miss but I think they did a good job with the faces. I learned a bit about speed painting and what I could possibly get away with. I used Uniform Gray primer, a minimal pallet, Quickshade Strong Tone, and added a a bit to a few bases.
       
      The gray primer I left for anything that was steel and I like the end result. I am working in the Generals (bad guys) now. Most of their sculpts are not that good but the dragon looks pretty good. I will continue with the expansion sets after the base game is painted.


      Sorry for the double post.
