A Swarm of Jetbikes and another Legolas

During the last few weeks of the year, I want to try and finish a few more projects that I started during the year but never quite finished. First up are the Legions Imperialis Scimitar Jetbikes from last week and another Legolas.

As planned, these Jetbikes were quickly done over two more evenings. The pigment on the base always ties the paintjob together and I'm quite happy with them. They look like a swarm, ready to descend on any enemies!

Pict 1692: Legolas

I started this Legolas with the MESBG tournament in November in mind. While I ultimately decided on The Black Gate, I also toyed with a Battle of the Five Armies list consisting mainly of Iron Hills Dwarves supported by Beorn and Legolas. With the pivot to Morannon Orcs and Troll Chieftains, Legolas was left by the wayside. Finishing the highlights did, once again, take not to long and I'm very happy to clear the miniature from my backlog!

Pict 1693: Procon Vi Questoris and Porphyrion Knights (WIP)

These Knights do not quite fit in with the rest, because they are a new project. However, the colour scheme does lend itself to a quick paintjob. For now, I put down the base colours. Next will be the deacals and then it is on to the oilwash.

ArcWorlde Faery Dragon

While I did not finish to much over the last few weeks, as the Real Life once again took over, I still managed to finish up a cute Faery Dragon from ArcWorlde.

The dragon had been sitting in my box of started projects for quite a while and had collected a fine layer of dust. I had done the base colours, but then was daunted by the fact that I decided on a mainly white scheme. Starting with some very diluted pinks and violets to shade the wings and the blue body gave me the required confidence. Thankfully I had started the white parts with Ulthuan Grey, so I was able to put in some layered highlights. I'm pretty happy with the outcome!

I also continued to work on my Legions Imperialis Jetbikes. The decals over the hood were a bit tricky, but all right in the end. They might have come out even better with an additional go of Microsol, but I wanted to get onto the washes and highlights. I'm almost done with them now, with only the glaze and highlights on the red armour to go. And of course the pigments on the bases. But they should be ready for my next game!
