And I'm back! Sorry for the silence, had a slow few weeks where I didn't get a lot of painting time, and since I was batch painting, I don't like posting half finished models.
Anyway, finished a batch more models since I last posted. More winterguard, although I forgot a photo. Also some more Yu Jing for that commission. I painted all seven minis together and man, with such detailed models batch painting that many is a real chore. Keeps them all consistent though, so that's the reason. The Domaru establishes the colours for the heavy infantry, and I tried a few different options before settling on the gold accents. Pretty happy with it. Also, yellow is my absolute favourite OSL colour I think.
Next up is the first model for a Texico MERCS team I'm painting for a guy. Once they're finished I'll also be undertaking a Chaos Warriors army for him. The brief for Texico was 'dusty wild west'. I went to town on the coat with weathering, trying to make it look like a properly old and battered piece of leather, covered in dust and scratches. Pretty happy with how it looks, the MERCS minis are so much fun to paint.
Finally, I painted a few more of the Reaper Bones minis. Still hate the material, but oh well. Just basic paintjobs on these, nothing fancy, they'll only ever be used as game pieces.
Anyway, that's all for now, but I should have some more updates soon.

Blue and White, Red and Black; more commission work
Little more progress on my commissions over the weekend. My second commission, a large Yu Jing army for Infinity, arrived on Sat so I got to work producing a test model for the client, who was after a bright army painted to a high standard. He's very pleased with the results, which is always good to hear. I opted for intense, rich colours instead of straight-up bright shades, and kept the look similar to the official Yu Jing scheme. The blue glow effect should be more pronounced on the heavily armoured models and provide a nice contrast.
