Looking brilliant as usual mate. I always seem to like the colors you choose.

Shocking to no one...I love desaturated colours.  I have a whole host of model paints sitting on my desk unused because they're too vibrant or colourful.  I do occasionally break them out for stark contrast, or the Arab/Indian themed miniatures.  Many of my friends bemoan my choice of colours...or lack thereof.

Always a treat reading through this thread. I absolutely love the last two battle reports, they looked like cracking games.

I'm sure you've answered this before, but where are the dungeon tiles from? They're sublime.

The dungeons are a mix of old Dwarven Forge pre-painted resin...and then a bunch of their new plastic stuff that I painted to match.  The older resin stuff is much nicer sculpt-wise, but the new plastic stuff is more useful and easy to transport/toss around!

I do prefer more vibrant and saturated colours, but it's always a pleasure to see so many fantasy goodies.

Thanks!  Picked up some 'Ungors' (Satyrs) to add to my beastmen for the skirmish rules I'm working on.

Two Chaos Warriors to lead the beastmen I've been painting lately.  Pictures with a phone since my camera is on the fritz.





PS: I went back and snapped simpler pics with my phone that show the models better:

Those are cool. I'm a fan. Are they GW?

Yeah, two of the four models from the Warhammer Underworlds box for...Khagra's Ravagers(?).  I've deblinged them as much as I can without major surgery.  I don't typically like GW's "turned to 11" style, but I can appreciate the nods for classic Chaos.  I've snipped some horns from shields, snipped some dangly bits, removed some spikes from weapon pommels, etc.

I really like the end result.

They look great mate. I was wondering how you could make me like even sculpts I am not normally a huge fan of. Dialing them back a bit seems to have done the trick mixed with your excellent color palette.

I’ve always loved those ungors and always been saddened they’re not great in AoS.

I like the realistic gritty paint jobs on your stuff and don’t like high fantasy. Also look good on flat bases.
