That's good, I've nearly finished my first ever badger, goose and gnome.

Indeed I see now reason it need close. I mean we could just start another thread, so why not continue it all in here so people can enjoy the entire thread. That said I think it's worth saying well done to our first hundred and hopefully we can get another hundred done in no time!

Well, if Whiskey Priest could nab the idea from the Lead Adventure Forum, I can nab the idea from him! 
A recap of how these things work:
You pick a miniature.
You paint it, but don't show any WIP images.
You post it here before anywhere else.
You number your post and the challenge stops when we reach 100.
You can participate as many times as you like, but only once per day.
The theme behind this Rogue Trader flavoured challenge is 'I've never painted a.....before'.
Pick a race/troop type/figure that would fit in the Rogue Trader universe that you've never painted...

It definitely gave me the opportunity to practice my dry brushing, which I wanted to do

Really effective! Neat model and paint job.

Not very Oldhammer but it's for the bloodbowl gnome beast master. I may end up doing two badgers as the accursed geese continue to plague me. Both ankles of the second goose are cracking through now.

What have you been doing to those poor geese??
The Serene Badger

Not my fault they have such flimsy ankles 🤣 When I was a kid I used to help herd thousands of geese into their barns for the night on a nearby farm. Cunning evil sods they are. And it seems still determined to cause me grief! It's going to be interesting detaching it from the temporary base without depeditating it.

Thanks - was mostly a case of multiple layers of various washes and practicing dry brushings over a grey base til I was happy. I'm definitely still experimenting and practicing with dry brushing but I'm finding that for hair, fur and cloth, multiple repeat attempts to get the right look is giving me a more realistic 'depth' to natural fabrics, so will probably try some smudgy 'semi-drybrushing' on purpose in future 🤣. And also that adding just a smidge of wraithbone to white makes a more realistic natural white. I'm loving that every painting session is a school day 😀

I'm not sure whether this counts as he is more of a basing accessory than a miniature in his own right, but on a similar mustelid theme here is a stoat (about to trip up a treeman).
I don't really do elaborate bases because I'm lazy and also I don't like miniatures lugging walls or other scenic items around the battlefield, but the 40 x 40mm bases are a bit plain unless you break them up a bit.
