The Ogre of the sewers

[Connann]

Hi to all!

Now I show you another work, a warhammer 40K ogre.

I tried to do a special miniature, with cyber implants like a mix between a human and a machine. I used green putty to make the belly and I put a lot of cables and parts of other warhammer miniatures (for example a big space marine power fist...).

This miniature is an ogre, a big monster that works in dark side, in the chaotic zone.



I painted this mini with blue and purple color, like a zombie, an insane flesh colour. It seems like he's ill and poisoned. I painted the metal areas with rusts and other weather effects.



The ogre needed something special... a great base... and I've got it! A sewer!!

I've recicled some materials to use in this base, like old pens, a little cable or a piece of brass (to get a real pipes).

1st STEP

You can see (in these bad pictures), the base before painted it.



2nd STEP

I've no photos about the painting process. I'm sorry, but I show you what kind of paints I used to get it:

1.- I printed it with Black Chaos (Games Workshop),
2.- I used the airbrush fo the base with these kind of paints (alwys mixed with Tamiya Thinner X-20A, for acrylic paints):

- Hull Red XF-9 (Tamiya),
- Brown Chocolate (Vallejo),
- shadows: Burnt Umber ( Vallejo, Model Air, ref. 040),
- lights: Sand (Vallejo, Model Air, ref. 075),

3.- Rusts:

- Middie Stone (Vallejo, Model Air, ref. 031),
- Dirt (Vallejo, Train Color, ref. 73005),
- Basic Rust (Vallejo, Train Color, ref. 73001),
- Turquoise (Vallejo, Model Color, ref. 966),
- Smoke X-19 (Tamiya),
- Charadon Granite (Citadel Foundation) for washes,

5.- The water (made with DAS putty):

- Olive Green XF-58 (Tamiya),
- Turquoise(Vallejo, Model Color, ref. 966) and Warlord Purple (Vallejo, Game Color, ref. 14),
- Water Effect (Games Workshop),
- Still Water (Vallejo)
- Light Sand (Vallejo, Model Color, ref. 837) and Chaik White (Vallejo, Train Color, ref. 73006) for the waves,

6.- Details:

- Coke can: Fire Red (Vallejo, Model Air, ref. 71084) + Chaik White (Vallejo, Train Color, ref. 73006)
- newspaper: Light Sand (Vallejo, Model Color, ref. 837) y Chaik White (Vallejo, Train Color, ref. 73006) + Black (Vallejo, Model Air, ref. 71057) + Charadon Granite (Citadel Foundation),

7.- Final effects:

I used Sand, Light Sand and Mud pigments from Tamiya Weathering Master kit.

And that's it! I hope you like it!

VERY well done very nurgle and according to my wife VERY VERBOTTEN as in a spousal injunction against them and most things with eight or more legs. i find them interesting but not enough to annoy the wife(who by the way is as strong as me) just in case you missed it my beloved will thump me on this subject. anyway great work!!!

Only just come across this post(showed up as a related topic to some Gothic Horror sewers). Although a tad late I would like to say that is an awesome piece of painting and the base is a work of genius. The movement of the water/slurry as he moves forward is extremely realistic.

Lovely! If that can be said for such a disgusting creature!

[beefcake]

Sweet. Love the rust and weathering effects on the metals. The foul looking flesh ain't half bad either. Great job.
