    If you're going for a cyberpunk vibe, you could do the basing style with criss-cross neon lines

    Thanks for the pic!

    I thought about it but I'm afraid that it will "drown" the mini instead of highlighting it.

    I think I'm going for a cracked beige temple tile look with neon tuft and regular jungle.

    I'm now working on the Howdha and wow, I didn't noticed how many gemstones there are, takes forever!

    Hello!

    Bastiladon is done.
    I have finally decided what I wanted to do for the base and ended up doing everything.

    The non dino parts took wayyyy longer than I thought and I think I rushed through those a bit.
    I am satisfied with the result for now, I'll spend more time on a mini the day I start Kroak.

    That looks awesome! Really nice job on everything, great work on the large crystal. The pink and green go together very well. I really like the neon tufts, I want to find a way to use them myself for a future army scheme, they're so cool. Which brand are they, greenstuff world?

    Thanks !

    The process is quite simple but time consuming as the pink ink has a very poor coverage and needs at least 5 layers even on pink or white.

    I then taped it and sprayed dark purple and dark blue, so dark in fact that you can't see the difference with regular black.


    I have also kitbashed some priests.
    I sculpted (not greatly) feathers.
    I used the EotG priest and a skink from the Underworlds warband.

    Great work on those priests.
    Those feathers look great to me. They're not standing as wide as the sculpted ones by GW, but those are unmistakably feathers.

    How did you make the skull on the first one? It looks good on him.
    And I like the staff on the second priest. I might steal that idea :angelic:

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Hello, sorry for the late reply.
    The feathers are a bit large but I have trouble with sculpting thin stuff so I didn't go back on them.

    The skull is also made of greenstuff, I stuck a bloob on it's head and worked around it.

    About that staff...
    I cut the regular staff to make one to replace the spear of the first one then noticed that since I cut it I didn't have a staff anymore and needed to improvise.

    Sometime I feel most of the extra work comes from a lack of planning lol.

    Steg time.
    Comes with 2 options, flame thrower or Balista, those are magnetized.

    It's supposed to be a reference to that kind of thing:

    So kind of a "Tron" vibe?

    Nice work here, I've got some inspiration are your pink and blank square bases representative of the Seraphon being imagined into existence?!
