Blog Marcus' painting blog 2022

Those certainly look convincing - the heads are from Crypt Ghouls, am I right? The greenstuffed necks look suitably bloated and horrible for servants of Nurgle.

I too have a dream to greenstuff Kruleboyz one day, though I plan to meld them into Fimir...

That would be correct. I'm going to mix in other heads and conversions too.

Fantastic work on your aztecs!

Oh. Hi. Me again.

Up to 60 painted Aztecs now. 2 boxes makes 3 units of 20.

They look amazing as a massed group.

What contrast paints do you use for the skin?

Fyreslayer flesh and G-man flesh. I vary the use rates and intend to further dabble with skin tone ranges

Good to know, they look pretty good with the tones you did. I will have to experiment with these at some point too.

Do note they are over Rust-Oleum camo tan

My client accepted my commission scheme for his skorne army. So I've got a bunch more work that has opened up for me.

 

[Lord-Marcus]

So I may have did a thing....

Battleship is going to be blue, and the space marine strike cruiser (with eagle prow, because I like them) are going to be from a red armored successor chapter of the iron hands .

I got nostalgic for BFG after the recent posts on the forum.

 

[Lord-Marcus]

Just popping in to note the following:

BFG fleet is primed

I've made progress on more skorne. I've decided to batch these in groups of 5 rather than 10. Mainly due to the ungodly amount of surface area on the robes.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy some of the war machine/horses sculpts, but some of these miniatures have really bad structural design

Painted the first Vindictor from my dominion set last night on a lark.

Also finished up 4 more praetorians from the skorne commission.

Medbury knows how to make elves that are fun to paint, I've had a blast painting this example elf with two handed sword for my webstore.
