Title: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 16 July 2021, 04:55:52 PM: Hi all
My first new topic here, so be gentle…..
I have just finished painting and basing some Oathmark Goblin wolves. The riders will be along later, but I thought you might want to see them!
Hope they pass muster…..

Post by: Grumpy Gnome on 16 July 2021, 06:26:50 PM: Some brilliant brushwork there mate!
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 16 July 2021, 06:29:05 PM: Many thanks GG. Really glad you like them. Compared to some on here I’m just a journeyman though……
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Hobgoblin on 16 July 2021, 06:44:51 PM: Very nice indeed! A great variety of natural-looking and convincing colour schemes too. Can't wait to see the riders!
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Pattus Magnus on 16 July 2021, 06:53:46 PM: Those definitely pass muster, excellent painting and a great set of natural looking colour patterns!
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 16 July 2021, 07:34:25 PM: Thanks Hobgoblin and Pattus. Really glad you like them. As to the colour schemes, well I’m no artist, more of an artisan. I therefore collected twenty or so pictures of wolves off the internet and had them upon my PC when I painted. After all, we would use references for historicals, so it’s logical to do that with animals. I use the same techniques for horses and any other wild animals I need to paint. It also works for fur cloaks and saddle skins etc..

Post by: Bearwoodman on 16 July 2021, 08:42:23 PM: Those Oathmark wolves have had a bit of stick on this forum but yours look great! The effort you put in researching colours has paid off, they look natural but with enough pop to stand out on the tabletop!
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: BZ on 16 July 2021, 09:55:57 PM: Wow, those wolves look awesome! Great paintjob, and a very much like their variety.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Little Odo on 16 July 2021, 10:04:32 PM: Great job you have done on those wolves.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: snitcythedog on 16 July 2021, 10:55:36 PM: Nicely done.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: sir_shvantselot on 16 July 2021, 11:40:51 PM: Look very natural
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Blackwolf on 17 July 2021, 12:10:02 AM: They are cracking! Well done :-* :-* :-*
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: BeneathALeadMountain on 17 July 2021, 03:45:25 AM: Excellent natural range of colours and as others have said you’ve made what I’d written off as ugly, clunky models quite beautiful. The pure white wolf is spot on too (I have a large all white Swiss Shephard x husky) they really are that bright (when clean). Thank you for posting.

Post by: majorsmith on 17 July 2021, 07:10:55 AM: Lovely painting I’m not keen on the sculpts themselves but the paint work is fantastic
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 17 July 2021, 09:10:26 AM: Wow…thanks all. I’m bowled over by these positive comments. As to the sculpts, I can see why they’ve got a bit of stick, but the head end is excellent in my opinion. They do look a little lionish from some angles, and some of the musculature looks like body fat rather than muscle, but over all they look like large wolves, which is kind of the point isn’t it……
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Neldoreth on 19 July 2021, 05:33:35 PM: I really like those wolves and you've done a fantastic job getting them painted up! I really like how they are reminiscent of the old Battle Masters wolves... like they took the best of the battlemasters wolves and made them better.

Excellent paint work, inspiring stuff.

Post by: Padrissimus on 19 July 2021, 06:06:09 PM: Bloomin' eck they're gorgeous. I might now have to hide every figure I've painted, for I am suddenly ashamed of them!!
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 19 July 2021, 06:42:51 PM: Thanks Neldoreth, really pleased you like them. They were fun to do, even if a bit long winded.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 19 July 2021, 06:43:57 PM: Wow Padrissimus, you know how to embarrass a guy LOL. Thanks for the fantastic compliment.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Mudstone Miniatures on 19 July 2021, 07:48:44 PM: They look great. I especially like your basing materials.
Can't wait to see the riders.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 19 July 2021, 08:17:15 PM: Hi Thingol
Thanks so much for the kind comments. The basing materials are actually pretty simple. The ground cover is papier mache powder made up with white glue (so it sticks) and tinted with powder paint. The flock is three colours from Javis, meadow green, dark green, and spring green. The rocks are sold in gardening shops for basing pond plants, and the tufts are varied from warpainter.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 19 July 2021, 08:20:35 PM: Oh, and the riders will be along in a week or two. It’s just too hot to make progress at the moment. :'(
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 09 August 2021, 03:44:45 PM: Well that took a lot longer than expected…..
Here are the doggies with riders….group shots and a few close ups. Hope you like them….I need to improve my banners, anyone know of a good primer. :D
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.

Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.

Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: BeneathALeadMountain on 09 August 2021, 05:51:25 PM: Brilliant stuff. I like the colour choices they really add some uniformity to a none uniform force (I think that makes sense).

Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 09 August 2021, 06:12:11 PM: Many thanks BALM. Glad you like ‘em. I reasoned that they were an elite unit so would put some effort into uniformity…..
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: BZ on 09 August 2021, 06:35:32 PM: That was longer than expected? You're not even near my painting slowness... 😀
Great colors on the riders, they look really intimidating!
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: dadlamassu on 09 August 2021, 06:41:26 PM: I am really impressed by the way you have used a restricted palette and superb painting.

Thanks for sharing.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 09 August 2021, 06:47:36 PM: Hi BZ. Thanks mate, appreciate the support. I am retired, and paint virtually every day, so I thought they would take about two weeks, not four….it felt like I was doing three units at times…
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 09 August 2021, 06:49:31 PM: Hi Dadlamassu, thanks for the very kind compliment. The restricted palette was deliberate, enabling the red bits to stand out more.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Knight-Captain Tyr on 09 August 2021, 07:11:10 PM: Really brilliant stuff! You should be super proud.

Not posted on this one for ages. Got sidetracked….
Just finished some lawn ornaments for “the other side”….
Hope you like ‘em….Hobbit slingers next….

I’ve included an Orc’s eye view. As always, hope they pass muster….

Post by: Little Odo on 06 January 2022, 01:26:21 PM: Lovely stuff.

How do they scale up to the GW LotR hobbits? I am looking at running a "Scouring" type scenario and need more hobbitses.

Post by: Melnibonean on 06 January 2022, 10:34:49 PM: Some lovely brushwork and some great looking units. Your bases look great too.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 07 January 2022, 01:09:43 PM: Thanks Gilbear. It’s a colour I had used before much as well. Quite pleased with the outcome to be honest, even if it does look a little like a public school day out……
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 07 January 2022, 01:13:43 PM: Cheers Melnibonean. Very kind compliments. Basing is actually really simple. The compound is sculptamold from hobby craft, tinted with powder paint. Stones are added into the ground before it dries, using pond gravel. This lets them sit in the landscape rather than on it. They are then flocked with dark, medium, and light flock in turn to give them depth, then tufts are added.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 07 February 2022, 11:59:49 AM: Hi all
More 28mm North Star lawn ornaments, this time with sharp and blunt implements to scare off Orcs….
Great fun to paint. Hope you like ‘em.

Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Grumpy Gnome on 07 February 2022, 02:44:52 PM: Brilliant! Particularly your metallics, nice sheen.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Bearwoodman on 07 February 2022, 02:52:07 PM: Yes, I like them!
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 07 February 2022, 05:24:59 PM: Thanks GG. The metallics are done with a base coat of gunmetal, matt varnished, then highlighted with gunmetal again, followed by edge highlights in silver.

Some North Star Oathmark lawn ornaments….
And some Atlantis miniature Orcs, to be used as Ogre line breakers…including a picture so you compare them for size….Enjoy!
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Bloggard on 06 May 2022, 11:44:02 AM: excellent paint-work.

the Atlantis figures fit in perfectly in that role.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 06 May 2022, 08:23:42 PM: Cheers Blog. Very kind of you. Agree about the Atlantis figures….big enough to be different, but not so large as to be overpowering….believably attired as well….sort of a Zulu vibe going on. Quite complex but paint up well.

Post by: 2010sunburst on 26 November 2022, 09:59:28 AM: Long time since I posted on this, or on anything else to be honest. I’ve had a few health issues that put a crimp in my painting style, most bad episodes of RA, which were followed by a DVT issue and a serious bridge embolism. On the mend now though, so here are my newest recruits…..
They are the Oathmark Goblin personality sets.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 26 November 2022, 10:01:14 AM: ….and a couple more…..
Not up to my best standard, still have issues with grip, and meds have given the hands a slight tremor, but it should all improve over time…..
Hope you like ‘em!

Cheers Hob, very humbling comments. Recovery is going well, thanks. The pelt is copied from a picture I found on the net. It is a striped hyena……it’s the only way I can do skins and furs. I copy originals because they don’t always grow as you would imagine.

My only observation is the that poor elf fella on the far left of the picture appears to have some sort of severe-looking medical issue with his neck! The "joys" of posing separate heads on plastic models I suppose. lol

LOL…..hadn’t noticed that. It’s possibly the effect of wind on the ice cream cone hairstyle they seem to favour….l

Long time since I posted on this……but I fancied some cavalry, so here are the Gripping beast Arab light cavalry done up as a generic fantasy cavalry unit.
Enjoy…..

The goblins are good fun to paint. I don’t like Kermit green skin on them, so went with a blue grey face tone followed by highlights, then Vallejo face wash to define the shadows. Gives a cool skin with a warm undertone to show life.

Cheers TGA. Really glad you like them. The horses were relatively easy, if a little time consuming. All I did was found photos of horses I liked the look of on the internet and copied them ;). There are plenty of resources out there, I even learned the difference between Bays and Chestnuts….I always thought they were just coat colours, turned out I was wrong.

PS, It’s how I always do animals, I never make them up :)

Post by: 2010sunburst on 07 December 2024, 10:27:37 AM: Been a bit remiss keeping this project up to date. Here are the results of the last six months….not much…some Orcy archers and some human cavalry. The orcs are obviously from the Oathmark range, and the human cavalry are basically Victrix Normans with a fanciful paint job. Anyway, hope you like ‘em.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Ultravanillasmurf on 07 December 2024, 05:57:54 PM: Nice.

I did not recognise the orcs as orcs at first, interesting the flesh tone changing their appearance.

I like the not Norman's.
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: Pattus Magnus on 07 December 2024, 06:55:25 PM: Yeah, those look excellent! I’m a proponent of non-green orcs myself, so I like the direction you’ve gone with these. The riders look good too. They remind me of the sort of lord of the rings illustrations that pre-dated the movies (and that’s a good thing).
Title: Re: Tim’s ongoing Oathmark outpouring.
Post by: 2010sunburst on 08 December 2024, 09:40:43 AM: Cheers Smurf, I personally dislike green orcs, and don’t see them as black either. Tolkien described them as corrupted Elves, so I went with fair skin with lesions…..

Thanks Pattus, sort of the effect I was going for so it’s nice to have that approach validated 👍

I responded once to a question on another board that was seven years old. The person who asked the question was still around and grateful for the answer. Others lose interest seven days later.
