Dreadblade harrow is done, sans basing details as I'm doing that as a group with the other dreadblade harrow since they are similar.
6 warriors and 2 dogs. Painted but WIP. Shields and basing grit to come. These are from the upcoming Wargames Atlantic Dark Age Irish set, which I was lucky to recieve an advance sprues to have some fun with. I reviewed this in the off topic Wargames subforum, but I want to add that there is something refreshing about painting lightly armored troops. I went for table ready on these, to show that you can achieve good results even when working with shoddy brushes and/or from inexperience.
Which green? There are 3, lol. If you mean the ethereal horse, it's thinned moot green over a white undercoat. After that I give it a layer of hexwraith flame. Hobby Desk status update: I've painted all I can tonight for these 20. The one problem with Vallejo model air steel is that the air paints take forever to dry, so it essentially stops work on the group until 12 or so hours have passed. Considering I'll be at work, they're done till tommorow.
I suppose your correct there is 3 green lol the steed the ghostly part and the cloak... hahaha now am just curious as to how you made the other 2 green colour!! I have a big army that I’ll have to paint soon!!! Have you work with Nighthaunt gloom paint? Like it?! Thx for the help/info btw As always keep up the good work This guy paint 20 mini while I’m trying to work on 4 bahaha
When I was 19-20, had no life and an endless supply of caffeine, I painted 120 models in a weekend. They were meh, and honestly looking back kind of crap. I've come a long way. This type of batch painting is the work of 17 years of refining my process. Much of that in the last 7 years. Even 4 is a great effort. Do you have a blog set up where you can share photos? I'd love to follow your progress and give advice. As to your questions: I've worked with Nighthaunt gloom on commission Miniatures. It's the same as hexwraith flame, honestly. It has its uses, and can be great depending on what you are going for. I do not recommend coating a model in it for an etheral effect, though (like some of the Warhammer tv or other painting videos may say.) Lower cloak: 1 coat warpstone green contrast over white undercoat, applied as a liberal wash. Upper cloak: 1 coat dark angels green contrast over white undercoat, applied as a liberal wash.
Really that’s it ? Man it look like a black under coat must be the contrast paint I suppose!! Oh and yes I have a post made up Cheers Egres Dino’s and there lunch!!
Contrast paint is essentially a heavily pigmented wash. Dark angels green is almost a black-green, or a very deep Hunter green.
Where things are as of right now. Mortek guard are done sans the shields (currently those are primed.) Bloodreavers on commission need beastly Brown then touchups and done. I'd finish them, but I am exhausted.
Those green swords are quite eye-catching. Thanks for sharing your work; I'm really enjoying following along!
Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying the blog. All 20 previously posted figures are done (not including basing) In addition, I've base-coated the armour on 5 old high elf swordsmasters.
I had to travel out of town today, but I brought along a hobby bag. My free sprue of the upcoming sci fi french from Wargames Atlantic came in. I had in my head for awhile to co bone bitz between these and the previous raumjager. This is the result.
