[Lord-Marcus]

Current WIP

 

[Lord-Marcus]

And done. Also current state of the order of the Bloody Rose. Yes, the client did request a messy blood pattern on the blade.

 

[Lord-Marcus]

1. 4 more bloodletters done.

2. After I finished, I got a message from the commissioner asking for the horns to be jet black. @Crowsfoot any recommendations for a dtrastra black paint? @Aginor @NIGHTBRINGER too

 

[Crowsfoot]

Black horns, you need to be careful they don’t turn grey.

I would do them reverse so black at the tips blending down to cream at the base.

 

[Aginor]

Painting them pure black will probably not look good because black tends to swallow details.
I would at least softly drybrush the horns with a middle grey.

 

[NIGHTBRINGER]

I stink at painting black! I'd highlight with a grey-black mix.

I completely understand and intend to, guys.

I was looking for a black paint recommendation

I was looking for a black paint recommendation

It's a pretty basic "colour", I don't think it really matters all that much. Just pick up a black paint in whatever brand you most prefer.

 

[Crowsfoot]

Any black but,

GW black is pure black
Scale 75 is dead matt and grey/black, I love it

Highlight with Dark reaper for black/blue tint
Highlight with skavendinge grey for black/grey

Nice [heretical] bloodletters, the washes turned out great!

 

[Lord-Marcus]

5 more done, 5 more halfway

 

[Lord-Marcus]

And with these 5 bloodletters I have painted 100 figures in January.

 

[Lord-Marcus]

10 bloodletters are half done. Another 5 are at stage 2....

 

[Lord-Marcus]

10 bloodletters now fully completed.

 

[Lord-Marcus]

First attempt in a long time at freehand... Thoughts

I think on big models like that your better off using transfers and then applying details with a brush around them.

 

[Lord-Marcus]

5 more bloodletters, and the arms and legs of Uthred.

 

[Lord-Marcus]

Basecoated made.getting closer to a finished knight. After this is done I'll be at 135 so far for the year.

Sir Uthred the brave walks forth. Thoughts?
