On the painting table – Fenris 1
I included Les’ Fenris models as part of my MuseOnMinis pledge for February, and thought it would be an interesting model to do a video painting tutorial with as well.
But in the meantime, I’ll post pictures of what’s been done as I go.
1. Priming
Models primed with Vallejo’s Acrylic Polyurethane Primer. It was a bit of a challenge as I’ve been having some issues with my airbrush, so the coverage wasn’t as good as I’d like. Plus, I can’t recall if the models were washed, which can be problematic. I guess time will tell.
2. Flesh coat
I started with a coat of P3’s Khardic Flesh thinned with homemade airbrush thinner at a ratio of 1:2 of Paint to Thinner.

2013 Painting Commitments – 1
So, for those who don’t know me very well, I’ve been playing, well, collecting Games Workshop games for quite some time now… starting with Space Hulk in 1988. I have bought a fair amount of stuff over the years, and I’m ashamed to admit, most has gone unpainted.
Flash forward 25 years (Holy Crap! 25 years?!?) and I’ve gotten a bit better at getting stuff painted, with almost half of my Orks with at least some paint on them. But my first 40k army (Eldar) has been mostly ignored for a very, very long time.
Enter the Independent Characters 2013 Hobby Progress Challenge.
To quickly summarize, the challenge is to fully paint 1,850pts of 40k models before November 30, 2013 for the chance to win prizes. Plus you have a fully painted 1,850pt army when you’re done. Since I wanted to paint my Eldar anyways, I thought why not participate in the challenge for a chance to win something.
You can follow my thread in the IC forums here.
I started a little late, so making the January commitment has a little more difficult than I planned, as I got a little distracted by Muse On Minis WarMachine / Hordes painting commitment competition (see below). I wanted to send more time on these Dire Avengers, but it didn’t happen.
Good thing my February commitment is a second squad, so I can fix up the first group at the same time.
+++
So I have more Trollbloods and Cygnar to paint for WarMachine / Hordes, and I noticed that Muse On Minis was having their own version of a painting challenge, so I thought, why not, I’m painting the stuff anyways, might as well try to win something.
Now I started small with my MoM pledge, only a couple models, which after reading the fine print, only netted me 1 pt for completing, but it’s a start.
I’m expanding my commitment in February, including a couple minis for Les.
The MoM forum for tracking commitments is a little less organized, as they group everyone in one thread, but you can check it out here.

I’ll keep updating here as the year goes on, and if you painting stuff anyways, join up! Any chance to win prizes for something you are going to do anyways is a bonus.
Happy 2013! Big plans for Deff Head Dice
A little late, I realize, but the thought is still there.
Its going to be a busy year for Deff Head Dice, with all that I have planned for 2013. I’m aiming to produce more content for the YouTube channel on a regular basis as well as updating this blog more regularly. I put together the following 2013 Preview Video that will cover the majority of what I’d like to accomplish over the next 12 months.
Quick Overview
Battle Reports
- Aiming for 2 to 3 a month
- Mix of 40K and WarMachine/Hordes
Warhammer 40K
- Complete a fully painted 1,850pt Eldar army as part of my commitment for the Independent Characters 2013 Hobby Progress Challenge.
- Continuing to ad to my Ork army.
WarMachine/Hordes
- Bring my Trollbloods up to two 50pt lists, adding to the Box-to-Battle Trollblood series
- Start working on my Cygnar
Painting Tutorials
- One a month, depending on material (and what I am currently painting)
- Mix of 40K and WarMachine/Hordes
That should be enough, but I’m sure there will be other stuff I throw in as well…
More BatReps
Busy week for games (well for me at least). I got in a game of WarMachine/Hordes with Les AND a game of 40k with Mark.
The WM:H batrep has been posted (links below) and I’m starting to edit together the 40k batrep, aiming to get it done by early next week.
On the painting table: Les’ Khador army 4
More work on the comrades tonight.
FINAL RED HIGHLIGHT
The last red highlight airbrush coat went on tonight. Ironically, I used Khador Base Red, which is a great bright red, similar to the old GW paint “Go Fasta Red”. I focused on areas that would be hit by a light source from above.
PREPARING FOR METALLICS
Next up all the metallic areas, which need a coat of black primer time help the metals stand out. This step is getting done by hand. If I was more confident with my airbrush I could speed up the process, but unfortunately I’m having issues that may lead to me replacing it shortly.
After getting so much done on this guy’s so quickly, it always feels like hitting a road block going back to a regular brush. Next update may a few days so I can have something to show off.

A little further along today.
FIRST RED HIGHLIGHT
Another coat of red, this time with Mephiston Red. I held the airbrush at a 45 degree angle to be sure to avoid the areas in deep shadows.
The final red highlight coat should go on tomorrow and then on to the metalics.
