Blog Imrahil's Paint and WIP log

Last Wednesday I received the mail that my order was delivered at the office(more likely to be someone around during the day than at home), but since last Tuesday we in the Netherlands are back in to a hard(er) lockdown...
So won't be able to collect the package until mid January

Grrr, Imrahil

 

That sucks.

I bought a very expensive Christmas present for my wife from the US, it's now not arriving before Christmas because of the lockdown (when I ordered it at the end of NOVEMBER).

To steal your signature line:

"Grrrrrr LoR"

 

That Sucks even more... is it in yet?

Feel free to growl away

Grrr, Imrahil

 

On to models I do have to work on.
This Guy is the latest reinforcement for the Bloodtoofs(Ironjawz):





more pictures will follow.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

I appreciate you lending me your catchphrase

Funnily enough, it cleared customs on the 23rd and arrived magically on the 24th! Just in time for Christmas!

Phew!

He looks great!

 

Driven by the fun of yesterday's battles for Middle Earth with myvtwin Brother I decided to finally put some paint and sand on these scatter terrains.



And started on a new piece:

Here are the promissed more pictures of Ironskull:



Grrr, Imrahil

 

The bits of battle damage on the armor and axe really take this up two notches!

 

Thanks
It takes some courage for me to add them, as I feel like messing up the model, but it is so worth the result

Grrr, Imrahil

 

I really like how you painted the cloak.

 

Thanks a lot, I wasn't sure if it would come across good, but really like it now

Grrr, Imrahil

 

A little update on the last model of the Ardboys Unit: The Gorkamorka Icon Bearer.

only thing to do is highlights on the bare metal bits and weathering of the armor.



The icon is suppose to resemble the emblem of the Bloodtoofs. It is getting close I think, but am doubting to add a Bronze tooth in the lower jaw(the most left big red one). For reference see below



Grrr, Imrahil

 

I feel like he is done: didn't go for the bronze tooth o the icon(yet) because of the other bronze items already on it, might be to much.
Here he is:



Grrr, Imrahil

 

Looks great meneer!

 

Hartelijk bedankt, sir.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thanks man!
Yes, there actually is. On the first models I painted, of Lizardmen, there were a few skulls and decided to paint them gold.
Mostly because I have a few young kids and didn't want to make the skulls to realistic.
I transferred this concept to the Ironjawz.

Doing this for a while made me like it over the normal looking skulls, to be honest.

Once in a while I paint one bone-ish if the surrounding colors demand it

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Next of the Ardboys done:



Grrr, Imrahil

 

I also finished the last of the Ironskull's Boys:



Grrr, Imrahil

 

Now the whole gang is complete:




Waaagh!!!

Grrr, Imrahil
