Well, I finished painting #1 of two Hunters (on foot). I still need to finish his base, but I want to finish painting a few other models first and then do their bases all at the same time.

 

Here's my WIP on the Thundertusk that's underway. (You can also see the second Hunter that I'm working on as well, in the background.)

 

Dang. Those are some big tusks

 

Lol, I know, right? I'm still tossing around ideas in my mind about how to approach them. They are so very prominent. I'll certainly take any ideas that y'all might have!

 

Well you are onto a good start with the basecoat on brown. I usually drybrush bone and then do a light sepia wash on horns

 

Yeah, I've done one of these Thundertusks before (it's on page 11 in this thread), but I just don't know if that's the way I should take it.

I love the look that this one achieved, especially on it's belly, but I don't really care for all of the gore or the metallic-looking tusks.



Do you guys think that this look would go well with the rest of my Ogres, or should I stick with the blues as are on my Stonehorn?

 

There's a good tutorial about horns and tusks on youtube. Just search for vince vinturella and horns. Perhaps the result is up to your taste...I personally like the way it turns out.

 

Well, I have a really good method for painting bone horns, I'm just not totally sure if I want them to have the "bone" look, or a "stone" look, or giant "ice tusks", etc.

 

I vote marble

 

Ice tusks seem intriguing!!

 

This is interesting! I haven't thought about Marble!

As soon as I wrote that, I started getting excited about that potential...

 

+1 on ice tusks

 

Hmmm.... Ice with cracks like marble?

 

Stop trying to turn ice into marble!! lol You had your vote!

 

I finished up painting a "little happy" for a friend. Just because I felt like it.

Great job. Man is that a big gun!
