Blog Vosrik's Workshop Hall

Thank you! I've improved immensely from when I first started painting up 40k minis over 10 years ago. I have Vince Venturella to thank, whose hobby cheating videos really helped me kickstart my Seraphon.

 

Third aggradon!

 

Whew, finally all done my first three aggradons. This took quite a while, though I suppose I did take several breaks between painting sessions along the way. And I have 9 more to paint...

 

Just a fantastic scheme and well painted. Great job!

 

Starting a large project and getting my Oracle on Troglodon underway. I've got it assembled and primed, but first was to finish the base which was also a huge undertaking. I was ecstatic to find tiny frogs on the Kroxigor sprues! With the addition of a few 3D printed parts, I'm extremely happy with how this base has turned out. Too bad I didn't have this finished up for the lustria terrain painting competition a few months ago

 

First few basecoats on the trog. Orange is definitely rather tough to paint on nice and clean!

 

That looks poisonous as hell! I love it.

 

That looks interesting! Looking forward to seeing it completed!

 

Awesome! Based on a Gila Monster I suppose?

Keep up the great work.

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Yes it is! An easy pick seeing as they're fairly colourful and one of the few (or only) venomous lizards out there.

 

Glued the trog to the base before finishing the edge highlights as I don't want to be handling the mini and accidentally wiping off the paint on the pointy bits. The end is in sight though!

 

Finally all finished. A huge milestone and an incredible centerpiece for my army so far!



As I said earlier, the trog itself is painted after a Gila monster:



While the skink I decided to paint with a leopard gecko in mind. This Oracle in particular I've named after a beloved lizardfolk NPC in my most recent DnD campaign, Keck. Here's my reference photo:

 

Great work man! It looks amazing.

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Great looking dinos and bases!

 

Got my next batch of aggradons on the go, starting with a nice base that I had the pleasure of 3d printing a tree stump for:


Anyone know if those mushrooms are edible?

 

Amazing bases and I truly truly LOVE the troglodon .) An awesome scheme! Damn, now I am considering that as well..

How did you manage to get such a vibrant yellow (orange)? I always struggle with that colour. Bought it on 3 separate occasions (2 from GW and one from Valejo) and it is too "sticky" all the time - it has a very strange consistancy, doesn't cover anything and I can't seem to be able to thin it with water/any other medium to an acceptable smoothness.

 

That is one mighty fine base

 

Thanks a bunch! The orange is GW's Fire Dragon Bright. I made the unfortunate mistake of priming the model black, so I needed to do 5-8 coats of orange (thinned with water) cover it well enough to not see the black underneath. I also put on a pretty heavy wash of Fuegan Orange before putting yet another coat of Fire Dragon Bright on. The edge highlight was a 1:1 mix of the same orange and Pallid Wych Flesh.

 

Just a simple basecoat with the primary colours blocked out on my next aggradon. Nothing fancy yet. I don't know whether I'm looking forward or dreading having to paint another 6 after these ones... o_o

 

Finished up the lizard and stuck him to the base. I decided to do a bit of a more dynamic pose, so he's on two different "levels" of corkboard here.
