Friday Talisman: Eyes Like Crystal Balls

I've been appallingly quiet on the painting front recently, and after going to the trouble of photographing everything that still needed painting at the start of the year.

Progress is still being mae, though. I've got a painting line going for some genestealers, some venomthropes, and some Ultramarines terminators. In between those, I'm putting together some Dreadfleet auxilaries, and playing around with the fleet officer from Battle For Macragge, which alongside with the genestealers is the only miniature from that set I haven't finished painting. Once they're done, I think I'll have painted everything in my collection that dates back to before 2005. PROGRESS.

Or, you know, it would be, if I hadn't been bequeathed boxfull of 3rd Edition Warhammer Orcs and Goblins, and more than one box full of Epic miniatures - with more on the way. Sigh. The trials and tribulations of the congenital project starter, I guess.

Anyway, here's something that's actually done: the Talisman prophetess, the latest in my ongoing efforts to get to grips with non-white skin tone. I was going for a South Asian look here, and I'm especially pleased with the hair - doubtless that's why I completely forgot to take any pictures from the back.
