Beefcakes Fantasy May 2024

It's been well over a year since I've posted here and to be honest I've not really painted much in the past year. Not much that really fits into the fantasy theme anyway (Tau and Necrons don't really count).
Here's one from Northstar, I love the miniature so had to get it, along with the bugbear chieftain (not yet painted)

Colouring is a bit off with it as it's brighter than in real life.
I'll need to dig out the werewolves I painted from my brothers kickstarter too.

Like the way, you did the barbarians, especially the converted remounted chap.

This one...

Cheers, I must get back to thee barbarians once I get my stuff out of storage.

Jeepers, A huge time in between posts as usual.
Here are some copplestone chaos warriors. I painted these with Reaper's vampiric skin triad. They worked really well and I'll use them again on evil guys skin. My beloved armor wash has now run out but I think building up from Rough iron to silver has done a great job on the metal. I've been trying a more limited colour palette lately. I thin kit works nicely with these guys and it gets me to finish the models quicker too.

I've also had this sitting with the blue skintones painted for an age on my painting table. The king version is still there in its skin tones too. I gave the rest of it a quick lick of paint to finish it off. I've tried using the snow effect before with poor results, this time I mixed it with PVA and it worked a treat. If I had googled it before I'm sure I would have seen that was the way to do it.

Those all look quite good! I like the colour palette you used on the Copplestone knights - menacing but not over-the-top. The giantess works well, too, with the contrast between the skin and the rest of the equipment and clothes.

Thanks. The knights sculpts are really nice too. I didn't notice a lot of the detail until I got painting, such as there being skin and not all metal.
