Mordheim (eventually), and other things...
« on: May 04, 2019, 09:41:20 PM »
Finished a Varanguard for AoS as kind of painting challenge to myself. Being woefully bad at painting yellow, it had to have that as a primary colour and it had to be bright.

Very nicely painted! Super clean job, and the metals look excellent.

From these angles it's slightly hard to make out where the model's head is, but that's GW's fault not yours!

 :o Fantastic work!

The really bold yellow has turned out great! Can I ask what your process was for it?

Thanks guys! The yellow was averland over White primer, seraphim sepia thinned with medium, averland again thinned with medium, and finally a thin coat of yellow glaze.

Finished up my Stormvault.

First off, the main man his own self.



Two sets of braziers, not entirely satisfied with the 'normal' ones, but good enough for now.

Lovin‘ the troggoths and the skeletons! Really like your color palette. In fact even the miniatures I am not a huge fan of come alive because of your paint. Great artwork!

Lovely work all around, particularly those varanguard, your yellows really popped on those.

I'm not in your league, but maybe just a hint of sooty black/brown would help?  I find the strong contrast really helps, even if it isn't wholly realistic.  Examples at blog:  https://brokenstarsburningships.blogspot.com/2018/02/you-may-experience-burning-sensation.html

Thank you very much. Also, i tried the 'soot' suggestion and it worked great!

So I bought into Warcry, the models are just awesome and I have yet to see a warband that i don't like. Started with the Iron Golems, but as a friend of mine is doing his in the 'traditional' candy red and brass, I decided to go another way…
