Blog Kilvakar's Army!

[Kilvakar]

Alright! After a few years of playing and loving AoS, I've finally worked up the courage to start painting! Here's my very first test Skink!



I learned a lot from just this one model. I was trying to follow the Contrast Skinks official guide on YouTube, but I believe I didn't wait long enough to put the darker color on the back. I also think I prefer just one thick coat of the Aethermatic Blue rather than two. I like the stronger light and dark color contrast.

But speaking of Contrast... I'm so happy I decided to go with Contrast paints for my Lizardmen! They really do look amazing and the built-in wash effect really works great for these models. I expect I will be posting more in the very near future!

Great to see you picked up the brush

Good start, nice colors.
Keep up the good work.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

[Aginor]

Good start!

I like the color, what paint did you use for the base color?

 

[Kilvakar]

This is one of 10 Skinks I got from eBay and they were already primed White. I used Aethermatic Blue for the base, and Terradon Turquoise for the scales. Going to paint another one tonight!

Here's a Red-Crested Skink Alpha I did today. I'm already happier with the way this guy turned out than the last one. It's crazy how much detail there can be even on such a small model, lol!

You picked the details out very nicely. Well done!

Looking good! Can I please ask where you got the Woogity kroxigor models from?

 

[Kilvakar]

Found them randomly on Ebay! I was very lucky.

 

[Warden]

Great batch of kroxigors!

Great find, very envious! My search continues!

I know they're not exactly the same, but Raven Twin Miniatures has some Kroxigors inspired by the Woogity ones:

Thank you, I think this is what I'm going to have to go for. Now I need to decided whether it's worth getting my own 3D printer...

 

[Just A Skink]

First, the units are looking good @Kilvakar.

I'm rather envious of the Woogity Krox too. The "Kroxigor" from Last Sword Miniatures look kind of similar.

Mostly finished a Coatl. I'll probably use him as a Celestant Prime for some list experimentation.
