Blog Beardy Gekko's random assortment of things

Now he's looking more like this! Pleased with the base colours just lots of highlighting to do.

 

Going to start with evil sunz scarlet which is orangey red still. Then probably an orange, i think troll slayer is the one. I'm not too keen on yellow highlights for red.

 

Very nice space marine, I was just watching a video on edge highlighting on a marine of similar color.



This isnt something I have attempted yet, but if/when I get back to repainting my green black templars I will try it out.

Definitely a lot of primaris recently!

 

That was a great video! His editing is spot on and he explains things very clearly!
I´ll have to check out his channel better ..

 

So how do you lot feel about Spiders and Goblins?

I've ordered this box for £32 which seemed like a steal, I'm thinking of doing real life jumping spider patterns on the little dudes.

 

@Crowsfoot That's cool, does she not want to keep hold of them?

 

That'd be cool cheers, let me know what you have and i'll have them I expect!

 

Look at these poor bastards. Also textured bases I wasn't expecting to get:

 

got a cheap light box that seems to help quite a bit! This guy is still WIP mind.

 

Spids!

 

Doing a test gribbly, he looks a bit brighter in person. I'm thinking of keeping the spiders fairly subdued and making the Goblins quite bright?

 

Still very much in the basic layer and shade state at the moment, but looking for opinions on the general colours and whether there is too much/not enough going on, not sure what to do with the outer bit of the shield, I see them as being stone age tech wise so metal would look odd I think.

I'm intending to use blue as warpaint as well, think that's too much?

Thoughts always appreciated!

 

Blue warpaint is good.
and early shields where often made of wood with a leather rawhide band going around the edge..
