Wait! I had an idea! How about you use a little green stuff to add little dribbles of beer, so it looks like he is out REALLY cold
Ok, here are some pics of my latest work, the full Human Blood Bowl team. No bases yet. I plan to base them together with some other stuff but that will take a while.
I painted a Branchwraith for my wife's Sylvaneth army. This was the first time I used contrast colors. The result got a bit too dark but then I just drybrushed with a light brown and it looked better. I still think the miniature looks a tad dark when it is on the table, but I am relatively happy with the result. Like most Sylvaneth it is quick and easy to paint. I also primed the Arch Revenant and a Kurnoth Hunter, and I painted Arkhan's ghosts and cloak. Finally the temperatures went down today, so I could paint again.
Haha, yeah, they either didn't read it, didn't care, or forgot. Fun fact: I am a mod myself now, so I could move the thread... maybe later.
Nice blood bowl team I'm not familiar with the game but they look nice. I've seen lots of teams about when I'm model searching .
Hey @Aginor Just seen a lizardmen blood bowl team on my Fb Haven't investigated the link but seems like you'll have a lizardmen team soon
Hi Aginor, do you think the back contrast paint would maybe work for Saurus shields? having that black/grey slate-like effect come out properly? Curious as I've been thinking of give it a go, but I've not invested in the paint yet.
Yes, I think that could work. The contrast black will make pretty dark crevices, almost like Abaddon Black, while the raised areas will look a bit like Eshin Grey or so. If you thin it a bit you can make a few more greys with it. And should you decide that you need a tint of some color (like green or purple) then you can use either a shade of that color, or use a heavily thinned down contrast color as glaze. In a pinch you can just drybrush over it with some lighter grey.
I just noticed that I forgot to make a post on my hobby anniversary (two weeks ago). I was a bit busy with other stuff so I haven't painted much (except in the last few days). I play almost every week though, and I enjoy this a lot. This forum has a big part in that. Thank y'all for that! Progress pics of Arkhan, rider almost finished, mount needs some shade and a few details.
Thank you! That's the first model where I really took time for the edge highlighting. Perhaps the lines are a tad thick and the color isn't 100% what I want either, but close enough I guess. The goal is to fit into the style of my Morghasts. http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/aginors-painting-blog.19114/page-38#post-247605 Edit: Holy Moly it has been over a year since I painted those!
Oh, and here is the recipe for this style in case I forget it again: - primed white (yes that sucks for dark colors) - base coat armor with Alien Purple (Army Painter), 5-6 thin layers - shade completely with Dark Tone (Army Painter) - recess shade with Dark Tone - edge highlight with Wolf Grey (Army Painter) - shade with Purple tone (Army Painter) to tie the grey and purple together - metal parts are Weapon Bronze (Army Painter), shaded with Soft Tone (Army Painter) or not at all if they should be shiny. Can be highlighted with silver or bright gold. - paint bone parts with Skeleton bone (Army Painter) - shade bone with Soft Tone (Army Painter) - base coat claws and horns Necromancer Cloak (Army Painter) - drybrush them with Uniform Grey (Army Painter) Skin and sword sheath: - base coat white - shade with Reikland Flesh shade (Citadel) - paint stitches Necromancer Cloak or some brown - teeth are just Brainmatter Beige (Army Painter) or white, shaded with soft tone. Ghost parts are - white base coat - shaded Green Tone (Army Painter) - drybrushed with white - glazed with Waywatcher Green (Citadel) - drybrushed with white again, this time lightly - glowing green parts are Moot Green (Citadel) - OSL glazed with Waywatcher Green OR drybrushed on using Moot Green - if gem: apply gloss varnish
