PTCYAO! Plague Marines

Another painting challenge from Ann — titled “Paint the Crap You Already Own!” — means another chance to dig out some unpainted minis and get them done. So here's a squad of Plague Marines.

Shade Beast, Darkreach Monster

This one... sort of worked. I've named it Erebus for obvious reasons.

Maggotcrown Ogre Juggernaut


Much like Razmir, I don't know what "Maggotcrown" means. Reaper does a range of minis with that term so I'm assuming it's a setting or faction in a game. Whatever it is, it suits this hulking mountain of metal to a tee. In light of his intimidating size and menacing skull head, I've named him Tim.

Neglected but Not Forgotten: Space Goblin Commando


I'm pretty sure I bought this little chap, who I've christened Globrik, at the same time I ordered Aina. He's definitely an impulse buy as I cannot imagine why I'd actually need a space goblin commando. I don't know if Reaper was going to bring out a line of these, but they did make a total of three: the commando, a mechanic and one in power armour.

Death Guard Traitor Terminator

I bought a two-pack of Traitor Terminators off Ebay just after getting my regular Termies. I never owned any of them back in the day because I painted and played Emperor-loving Ultramarines, but I always thought they were great figures and enjoyed seeing them on the old 'Eavy Metal pages of White Dwarf.

Giant Wererat


Amazon is responsible for this one by putting it in my "HEY YOU SHOULD TOTALLY BUY THIS" list. I've named him Clanger after a pet rat I had back in the early 2000s. The real Clanger was named after the best kids' TV show in the universe. Also, I started this mini back in late January and have been updating this post on and off until today, I apologise if it's a bit all over the place.

Neglected but Not Forgotten: Post Apocalyptic Hunter

Ann's Neglected but Not Forgotten challenge has really spurred me to finish up older minis. While going through one of the many boxes of crap I've acquired thanks to this hobby, I saw a small grey figure stuck between some 30mm bases and realised it was one of my zombie survivors.

Neglected but Not Forgotten: Aina, Valkyrie


I originally bought the plastic Bones Aina at Brookhurst Hobbies in summer 2018. That turned out to be a mistake because when I took her out of her blister pack a month or two later, her sword resembled a banana, which I somehow didn't notice when I purchased her. I tried the usual hot water/ice water method but no luck. Into the Magical Box of Unloved Lead she went, and there she stays till this day.

On the fence

I'm on a bit of a scenery kick at the mo after finding some tutorial channels on YouTube and getting addicted to them (they also come in handy when Alicia's watching General Hospital). The stuff they make is amazing, and it's pretty straightforward — basically just foam, card, sand, glue and paint. The other day I stumbled across Vallejo's official channel and found a great video on making a decaying wooden fence so I thought I'd give it a go.

Fembruary: Destiny


Destiny was dragged to a fancy-dress party by her boyfriend Horace, who promptly abandoned her to chat up a couple of hot chicks. She stormed out only to discover herself in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. Grabbing a gun off a dead cop, she's been dealing death ever since but she's saving one bullet for her now-ex.

Fembruary: Kyrie, Female Barbarian

As you can see, I'm milking the ruined arch background as much as I can.

Zombie Teens


Look, it took me ages to get all the elements of this photo in focus and only now do I see the post box lurking behind the wall, so deal with it.

Ruined Chapel 2


Oh my God I'm so happy with how this turned out.

Slaanesh Warband (and Fembruary): Lewdbeast


Lewdbeast is the last Daemonette I need to complete my unit for my Slaanesh warband. I "accidentally" found her while "accidentally" browsing Ebay in December and "accidentally" bought her. And she'll count as my first entry for the Fembruary painting challenge!

Another brick in the wall

This showed up in the mail a few days ago, and I blasted through it in between doing Pulse's base. It was fun to paint and came out pretty well. I can't believe I completed a scenery piece in a couple of hours when last year I couldn't complete one in two months.

Pulse


Pulse has adorned my header image since the day I launched PMPainting on its turbulent voyage of screaming and money. She was going to be my first entry in the Fembruary painting challenge, but then I had second thoughts; it would be pretty crap to kick off a challenge with a figure that wasn't specifically painted for it. So I rebased her (it only took me two years to get around to it) and here she is.
