Finished up Eldrad last night. I might go do a little work on the staff as I’m not completely happy with it, but it’s good enough for getting to the table to play. I might try and use the airbrush on the sword to add some detail there. Maybe get some more purple in the model.
Did a quick test of two of the aspect warrior types for the Mymeara. Wasn’t sure if I was going to do them in traditional colors or in the jade and turquoise armor with accents from their aspects. I think I’m going to go with the scheme below as I would like to have the army to look cohesive as a whole, with individual accents for the various aspect warriors. 
So I tried my hand at some ice world bases. Not perfect but pretty good and considering they are made with about 20 cents worth of materials for 10 rather than paying a dollar a piece for resin bases, I’m pretty happy. I tried using Future acrylic wax to make them shine more like ice, but I think I’m going to add a light coat of water effects to get the shine even higher.
A little more progress on the Predator done tonight. I’m dry-fitting the turret pieces right now and figuring out how to do that back part. Used half of a ping pong ball and a 40mm base for the turret. Pretty happy with the front, though I’ll probably do some trim work to match the model from Forge World.
I’ve been wanting to try and do some custom building lately to try out some new techniques to bring my build quality up, and decided to try and built a Deimos Predator. You can see the model I will be attempting to build here from Forge World.
Here in Seattle we have a lot of rainy days. Makes it really hard to prime models during the wet season (October-June). I recently picked up some Vallejo Surface Primer which can be put through the airbrush to see if that would work. Tried it out tonight and it’s absolutely fantastic! I did have to up my air-pressure a little bit to spray it without blocking the airbrush up, but it goes on super thin and smooth. The best part is that it comes in a variety of colors to make painting easier. There is almost zero smell so the wife won’t be bothered by the freshly sprayed models either. Highly recommend.
