Blog Pinkies Paint log: Terrain for the terrain competition added

thanks a lot guys.

What are your overall thoughts on the green oxidised bronze/copper - does it look good/fitting? It's hard making it look natural, but when I google around it doesn't look too far off what you'd expect

Here are some pictures found on google:

 

Hmm.. I'll consider it on some other units. I'm liking the effect I currently have the more units I get done and I don't want to spend too much time on regular core units ^^

Anyway I painted up shields on another 8 saurus warriors and did some green stuff that needs to be painted some time tomorrow. When the green stuff have been painted I have 17 fully painted saurus warriors, 10 fully painted skink skirmishers and tetto'eko. Good progression so far.

I've really been thinking of what's next, but I'm guessing that I'll do 3 more saurus to get a neat round number of 20 and then do my 10 cameleon skinks. I've never had them painted before and I almost always have them with me so I think they deserve it

 

Hi and welcome to the forum

Thanks a lot for the kind words. To. E fair my theme is heavily inspired by ZaGreekie's paint log, mostly his templeguards since most of his pictures are of those ^^

If you like what I made you'll love zagreekie's paint log. Unfortunately he doesn't frequent the forum anymore, but his army is easily one of the best on the forum, so enjoy:

Uh.. I accidently started on another 8 saurus warriors. My OCD kicked in and I wanted a good clean number, so 25 models done would be great. My thesis is going well so I think I'll do a good amount of painting today. Working home anyway ^^

 

I'll be ordering bases this friday and I need your help. Which one of the following do you think will fit the most?

http://shop.microartstudio.com/mystic-c-3_24.html

http://shop.microartstudio.com/temple-c-3_27.html

http://shop.microartstudio.com/shrine-c-3_94.html

http://shop.microartstudio.com/arcane-c-3_98.html

I've put them in the order I like the most, but I'm a bit torne between mystic and ancient. Temple and Shrine are basically equal and arcane being the one I like the least, but I'm open for all suggestions.

 

Oh wow, they look awesome. Just googled around and no square bases to be found. There's a faction in some other game called Halodynes and all the models are on round bases. Would've been perfect. Oh well ^^

 

Bases will be ordered tomorrow. Decision time!

Oh and I've now made 25 saurus warriors. 15 more to go :3

 

That sure looks like a 5th edition model. I wish I still had my old catalog cause then I'd have the exact answer. My educated guess is it's either a regular undead model from 5th, OR MORE LIKELY it's a Chaos horse head from 5th. I know I've seen that horse before. My buddy might have it actually.


Lovely army! I really like the vibrant colors and the rustic feel. Great job with the shield conversions too! I want to do the same thing for mine now, lol.

 

Oh, wow I comepletley forgot about the undead horse, thanks a lot though

Thanks, and yeah the shields are incredible awesome. The sprue they come on is all kinds of hilarious, but when the shields are painted up they look incredible ^^

 

Ancient bases have been ordered for various reasons. Ordered forty 25mm, thirty 20mm, one 50mm and two 40mm bases.

Quite expensive, but that should cover the models I can finish before the 28th of June where I'm participating in s local tournament.

I'll then order later this summer when I'm doing my templeguards.

I'm expecting to have the bases late next week.

 

Hopefully ^^

I'm also paiting up the Slann. Figured I'd do it since it's a somewhat easy model and I need something else than the saurus warriors

 

Uh.. I might have spent the entire evening and out to the night painting up the slann. It's *almost* done now, but I'm out of typhus corrosion so I only need some finishing details onto the actual throne.

I cannot for the life of me paint tusks, so after several tries I settled with karak stone + brown wash .__________.

Unfortunately my templeguards will not be finished any time soon though....

 

Yeah I definately agree with you on that. Tetto'Eko looked great, but the slann is much better looking. Really happy for the result. I could go on and highlight some area some more, but I think I'll let it be the way it is for now and maybe come back at some other time.

Minor update:

Bases are in production. I didn't realize they had to be produced first, but fair enough. I can much easier wait for bases than for actual conversion material.
I've also started painting 10 - yes 10 - saurus warriors. Will likely be done before the week end. That would put me at only needing to finish up another 5 saurus warriors and then my 40 SW unit is done.

After that? Maybe an oldblood or some cameleon skinks. Or regular skinks. I don't know D:
