Some of have been tinkering away getting some paint down onto miniatures too and you can watch out for a video on base coating, spraying and more down the line.

Painting Away!

We close in and find out what folks are going to be working on over the last few hours.

People have been getting some paint down on their models after the primer stage and people are powering on with loads of epic pieces already.

It's wild how quickly some of the models are coming together.

Close Ups Of Our Work!

54 Comments

We're really getting stuck into the painting now and that means that some folks have pushed on and got loads of paint down onto their miniatures.

It's actually quite refreshing to be able to sit down and just paint for a few hours and engage with your fellow hobbyists as you do so.

Close Ups Of Our Work!

Focus Damn It! Focus!

We get stuck into the power hour as it were and push on with more of our miniatures.

It's great getting all manner of our techniques we've learned from the Army Painter guys into practice.

Some of us are even getting some of the units for RuneWars finished!

Focus Damn It! Focus!

The Models Come Together

We focus in on some more of the work being done by the painters. They been beavering away for a while now and are looking forward to some grub.

Do you reckon it's mean to say that they should get some miniatures finished before they eat?

What Armies Have You Speed Painted?

55 Comments

As we check out more of the work being done here at the Hobby Weekend we want to know what kind of armies you've speed painted, maybe even using these methods from Army Painter, in the past.

If you have cool armies that have come to life like this make sure to make a forum topic and share your completed force and we'll take a look!

FFG just updated this to have a street date of April 13th, so it won’t be long now.

I’m scratching my head as to why I didn’t ask permission from the wife to come over for this one. It’s holiday time (unusual for a school teacher and boot camps) and I have nothing on this weekend.

I’m sure if you had explained it was a boot camp she would have rearranged the date.

There’s a famous quote I’ve read somewhere that seems to fit, “Let’s get stuck in!™”

Looking forward to see how it all goes. I’m really interested in the game, but as painting the lead mountain has ground to a halt again, I need more info on how it plays before giving in to temptation!

What a great idea! A weekend get together for building and painting armies. It is interesting what tha might be considered the least social aspect of the hobby can be the most social. It is amazing how much can get done when you have other hobbyists in the same room sharing best practices and encouraging your work.

I have .. I don’t want to say resorted but it is kinda that… resorted to changing up my painting techniques to try to get stuff painted and on the table even if it’s not my best work. I have been using the army painter quick shade/dip and overall have been happy… I feel like I should be doing a bit more extreme highlighting as the effect from the dip I have been using does darken a lot of the colors quite a bit… but the sealing and protect components have been very helpful. I think I should play around… Read more »

Its really interesting to see how Fantasy Flight does a mass battle game. This has definitely peaked my interest.
