Handbags at ten paces [Personal Work]

I'm currently running a Journeyman league at the club (players start with small armies and each week add a couple of figures to work up to full 35 point games).

Part of the league involves scoring points for your painting. I decided to run my Minion Gator faction to force me to actually get some paint on them.

So far I have painted a warlock and a unit, and by the end of the league (two more weeks) I'm hoping to get a beast and a solo done too. That represents about half a 35 point army.

The models are being speed painted, and I am using my airbrush to do a lot of the heavy lifting, which has been good in terms of developing my airbrush skills. Still got a way to go yet, but its been great finally spending some time with the kit.

So, here are the models so far.

Excellent work, your speed painted is better than models that I take an age to do!

How do use the airbrush in minis like these? Do you grey scale pre-shade them?

Hi there Bartali.

These guys were undercoated grey with the airbrush and Vallejo primer.

I then followed the colour scheme from Ron Kruzie of PP fame's Gaotrs.

I'm going to put up a post about the undercoat process I am using now soon, which is grey scale pre shade, but didn't need it for these guys.

Cheers.
