AOS28 Mordheim-ish tomfoolery- Nighthaunt Chainrasps
« on: March 30, 2020, 11:37:28 PM »
 Greetings all!

Being sequestered at home for what may be a considerable time, I have decided to start a new project. A fantasy one geared towards the grimy and horrible world of AOS28 and a slew of inspirational material in the pages of 28mag and blogs like Iron Sleet and Gardens of Hecate. I was particularly fascinated by the use of correctly proportioned Perry historical figure in a Fantasy context and thought they looked fabulous, I’ll be playing around with those later on.

First things first though. In order to have a go at a grimy paint job I needed a bit of practice.... cue the Oathmark Goblin Infantry box I got quite a while ago, perfect for some rushed assembly and painting!

Here’s the first of five that I threw together:



I quite like the Oathmark model, not too cartoony and actually quite mean. Once I get some humans done I’ll post a comparison picture. Anyhow, he’ll be getting some chums soon!

Thanks for looking

Yes, he does look quite fierce. You sure he needs chums?

Very nice painting and posed very well.

Mean works best when it has backup.

 lol

If I’ve learnt anything from a childhood of moralising 1980s cartoons it’s that everyone needs chums, especially evil loners!

@Swordisdrawn - Thanks, the set has a quite a nice variety of poses and weapons. And, at about 75p a figure I can’t complain!

@peleset - Too true!

Another Oathmark Goblin, this time in the classic villainous squat, with scimitar:

I am a big fan of the Oathmark Goblins, and your brushwork certainly has brought them to life. Nicely done!

Cheers Rick W, the looser approach to painting is certainly a bit of an eye opener for me and I think I’ll be using this approach with all of my 28mm figures from now on (3mm on the other hand need a bit of bright clarity, just to be seen!).

I have also managed to actually finish 3 more of the little rascals, completing my first batch of assembled figures:



Taking the photo in actual daylight really helped with the quality, but for some reason the bases came out super flat so I may work on them a bit later. Here’s a picture of the full gang:



A decent crew of thugs for hire methinks. Next up, after some 3mm sci Fi, I’m planning in painting up a Sprue of Chainrasps.

Thanks for looking.

Nice work! At first sight, I thought that the 1st image might have been 54mm.

These models look fantastic. Can you share what this ‘looser’ approach is? My style is also a bit brighter so am interested in tips to grime down.

 As grim bunch of Ne'erdowells as I ever clapped my eyes on.
PS Agree with the comments on your painting style. After years of trying  to follow Will's Adage ( If you can't do it well, do it neat); I feel the need to make my GSC project more.....Errr... Grim?

Thank all!

I used to spend an awful lot of time being neat and since my other project is 3mm Sci Fi (where I can’t be anything other than neat) this is actually a bit of a release.

One thing I am trying to do is really limit the palette, ideally to a maximum of 3 or 4 colours... even then it might be a couple of different browns, also a liberal use of washes after the initial colours helps.

Here are a couple of Nighthaunt Chainrasps painted up in the fairly grubby style:





There are more of these just post priming, so I’m happy to take some step by step pictures if anyone’s interested.

Thanks for looking and stay safe!
