Really good stuff in this thread and great work with the Cotrast paints.

Would you happen to have the recipe you used for the Skaven (fantasy) and the Savage orc giant please?

Thanks!

The contrast-painted skaven? Wraithbone spray undercoat, then the metals in natural steel/Typhus Corrosion/Riza (?) Rust and silver scratches/highlights; fleshy parts in Guilleman Flesh; weapon hafts in Wyldwood; leather in Snakebite Leather. I put a layer of Skeleton Horde over all the clothing, then used Blood Angel Red and Plaguebearer Skin (perhaps some others too).

The orc/giant was just Guilleman Flesh, Sketeton Horde for the bony bits and Plaguebearer Skin (IIRC) for the scales.

Lovely work as always Justin.
Finally got into weirdstone of brisingamen. That bit where they are crawling though the tunnels just about had me hyperventilating.

Thanks, chaps!

Swiftnick: it's a very strange book. I love the sudden epicness of the end. The Mara are some of the best monsters in fiction, I reckon, even though (or because) they're only glimpsed. And yes: that tunnel-crawling bit is terrifying.

Here's a test for some speed-painted orks: light infantry (with various close-combat modifications) in Xenos Rampant, but also a nasty surprise for dungeon adventurers. Boom!

I like how these old Gorkamorka orks work well with the Mantic ones (the heavy infantry).

Ridiculously rough speed painting, but they're swelling in number:

Nice to see your take on the old Gorkamorka boyz. It is really fun to follow your speed painting adventures  ;)

Thanks! I got a little more done this evening. In our forthcoming Xenos Rampant game, these are the four divisions of Orkish foot: recon infantry; light infantry; heavy infantry; and berserk infantry.

They're a little plain at the moment, but once I've got a unit of each done, I'll think about adding some heraldry of some sort (perhaps something like the Khorne skull-rune done half in black, half in white).

Re: Some miniatures for Song of Blades and Heroes (Peg Giants!)

Thanks, all!

Last night, after we'd wrapped the kids' presents, I decided to make some peg-doll giants. We gave our daughter some unpainted peg dolls and a book on making and painting various types, so I thought an example or two might help. These are based for Hordes of the Things (as behemoths), and both kids and I have now decided to make a couple of HotT armies over the holidays.

Merry Christmas!
