What is on August’s workbench?

This is a unit of thirty Celt warriors for my Albion WHFB army.

July’s workbench

Posted on August 2, 2014 by grumpyoldtin

This last month saw me more involved with the Boys so there was less time devoted to painting.
I managed to finish two squads of Ramshackle Games “Iron Brotherhood” troops from the Kickstarter campaign, but I didn’t manage the command vehicle.

These will complement my Anvil Industries “Tox Troopers” and the Raging Heroes “Toughest Girls of the Galaxy”, another Kickstarter I backed.
As you can see, a far amount of work to go before I even start on the camoflage.

A new figure from Hasslefree

Some of you have suffered my wittering on about a “Not Empire” army. This just popped up. The image is Hasslefree’s. Very nice and if I make it to Salute next year it will definitely be on my shopping list.

I’ve always loved Orcs/Orks and seeing this guy’s work is giving me inspiration for my looted titan.

Inception inspired camo

Inception inspired camo

I’m looking for a camoflage design for my “Not DKK” army vehicles. This was inspired by Inception.

Knocked it up in Illustrator on my desktop machine and then emailed it to myself so I could tinker with it a bit in Snapseed on my iPad.

Does anyone have any experience making spray masks? The larger ones are easily done masking tape, but I’d really like the darker ones to be very exact and regular.
