Blog Marcus' painting blog 2022

No progress today. I have family business this weekend

 

8 more stormforged. 1 printed imperial German hero, and 5 converted gripping beast infantry

 

State of the painting desk = waiting for nuln oil to dry

 

That was as far as I got. Busy day pulled me to other things.

 

Getting close to done on these.

 

Oh yes, this will do nicely as a replacement primer.

 

Yup. Getting there.

 

10mm scale behemosaur.

 

I decided to take some time while I was waiting for commission paint to dry and paint up two models for myself.

One is a counts-as Mordian iron guard, made from the new Bulldogs kit.

The other is a cavalryman made from gripping bee slate Roman cavalry and bits from Wargames Atlantic

 

Nice.

When do you start your Daemon Prince?

 

soonTM

 

Swatches of some of the new contrast paints on my off white primer

Greens:

Striking Scorpion green = nice flow into receeses. Will most likely look better over White.

Karandras green = good orc flesh color. Good flow, doesn't dry wierd.



Sewers - new daily driver. Lighter pigmentation level of cygor brown.

Magmadroth flame - I was skeptical, but I think this will be good over white. In natural light the opacity is not 100%, so it would need two coats or highlights to hide that.

Imperial fist - same comments as magmadroth, but for yellow. Plenty of applications.

Ratling grime - another daily driver. Sort of a mix between being what skeleton horde is for bone, but for browns, mixed with a tingle of nuln oil thrown over top.



Leviathan purple - I wanted the other new purple, but the local didn't have it in stock. Not necessarily what I wanted as it's a bit dark but otherwise it's nice.

 

Today's progress:



And what's up next

 

Where'd you get the Orc Skeleton from? Looks a good model

They really are excellent stuff. I'm glad I picked them up for personal printing. I also have his wights as well

 

10 riftforged orcs for my long-term commission client Kevin. Including a couple of different skin tones as tests to give him options.

 

So my buddy who plays warmaster/AoS, etc is planning to move back in-state.
I may actually be able to get a few games in!

 

So I built some of these today:
Cav rider is blu taked to be primed

 

I've built these in the past 24 hours, while also working on the riftforged orcs commission.

Full review will be part of my upcoming essay/history of plastic skeleton warrior kits. I will happily give cliff notes if requested.
