I practically have nothing to paint now.I've finished painting the two Storm Lances and Leto Raelthorne but forgot to take photos of them before bringing them over to a friend's house for games.My entire army is there now,for convenience's sake.
Needless to say,I've been pretty bored these days and am yearning to paint and field new models.But other stuff in life needs my attention now.Besides I need to restock my paints and brushes and other supplies first before I start on anything.Not to mention buy new models too.
So it will be a while before I post anything here.

Ground Pounder
Ooh boy,am I bored.Yesterday both eHaley & eStryker got totaled.They went missing from my shelf and I could only find parts of them.Now I have to buy the both of them and start from scratch again.This time round I'll play around with their colour scheme a bit more.Those photos I posted of them recently are the standard I plan to surpass.
But the good news is,I've finished painting my Long Gunners.All 12 of them.Being trooper models and being sick and tired of painting the same thing 12 times,I didn't speed paint them or paint them assembly line style(but one by one) and I focused mostly on their faces(making the unit a mixture of light and dark skin tones and different hair colours),and the layering on their cloaks(previously when I painted them I had no idea what layering was).
Plus I've just finished painting another warcaster yesterday - Markus Siege Brisbane.Photos coming soon.It took me the whole day to paint him but now I have something to distract me from the lack of not being able to field eStryker & eHaley(some of my favourite warcasters).Right now I'm looking at photos of Storm Lances for reference and I might just start painting mine just to see how the studio colour scheme will turn out.And also to proxy one of them as Major Katherine Laddermore.
Also,my MK2 cards are on a plane somewhere heading towards me right now so pretty soon I'll be doing blog entries about my games.Do stay tuned!!!

Major Victoria Haley
So sorry for the delay in posting this.A challenging model right from the start.Plenty of mold lines,some miscast sections.As you can see,I've replaced one of the tubes linking the body to the right hand with something else.This was because of a miscast.
Other than that,this is my first attempt at blending.I sure felt ambitious before I started painting but halfway through I started wondering why I even bought this model XD.It was tedious.It looks like the shadows are not as well defined as desired.Perhaps I've should have used a darker colour for that.Something to keep in mind the next time I blend again.Also,the base colour is a mixture of VGC Khaki and P3 Morrow White.
As for the slate base I made it from scratch.After all,an epic warcaster deserves an epic base.

Updates as of 21st Jan 2010
I retook photos for all of my models today,as you can see.Posted up photos of the second Sentinel and also the Arcane Tempest Gun Mages and the unit attachment.
Currently waiting for my supplies to arrive before I can get cracking.
Coming soon:Photos of Major Victoria Haley once I complete painting her.
Until next time!
Edit:Looked through all the photos again.All is well except for Kraye.Hard to get a decent shot of him.I believe it's because the camera can't focus on both the horse and him at the same time due to the varying distances.Macro mode is sensitive.Will have to try and retake his photos again.

Epic Stryker's Base
Out of sheer boredom I decided to make do with whatever paints I had and painted epic Stryker's base.I did not have any white with me so I painted it camo green instead.After all,Stryker has a feud against Magnus too.Especially after beating Magnus yesterday.Also a good time to get back into painting once my P3 paints arrive.I just can't wait to paint.
This was also a chance to try out my photo tent but it was a fail.I had to fill in more light using Picasa.Looks like I am going to need more lighting if I want it to work.Other than that,I'm happy with how everything turned out.
