Blog Ndege's painting and conversion lab - Nuff said!

Thanks guys. Yes, she's alright... ice cream doses help a lot and she's a tough girl anyway... when I asked her how she's doing, when I brought her to bed she told me: "I'm fine... I had four ice today!"

 

And here are a nearly finished ripper

And the converted skink with cape... also close to finished... conversionwise... so nearly ready for painting..

 

The elephant is incredible! Quite the talent! Your ripper looks so damn good! You skink is looking amazing!

 

Very cute... poor kid, that sounds like an amazing prescription!

 

Decided for a color scheme for the skink... gonna be similar to the brown priest with the greenish head... bit simpler though...

And slapped some color on the other regiment skink... the crest looks quite nice I think... thoughts?


Also started painting the first of the sunblood... gonna add gems, loincloth and armor plates, later... thought it's easier this way...

Last thing for the moment is my terradon test model... redid and finished the skin and based the wings... next step will be highlights on the green head and on the wings...


Hope you like it so far. Feel free to comment right away!

 

Oh... And here a comparison of the converted saurus (middle), a normal warrior (right), and a guard (left)...
He's really a bit bigger than the others...

 

Too bright?

 

Had to start another terradon...
so I like variety... thought I'd keep the red parts red for the unit... the green head looks cool, too. Kept it but made it brighter on this one... light skin tone is also cool... so I went for light grey... started with mechanicus standard as base and shadow and highlighted by layering... had a mix of 1:2 administratum and mechanicus followed by a 1:1 mixture of the same colors... next will be pure administratum grey followed by two layers with an increasing amount of light grey (Vallejo ghost grey). I will not use any washes before that is done... let's see how it turns out...
Pics!!


What do you think?

 

Nice.

 

Looking good!

 

Thanks! I try my best...

 

Used some leftovers from my terradon box and some milliput to start making this here...

Should have continued on the grey terradon cause tomorrow I'll have to start working on my homework for the exam... and I tend to forget what I've already done and what I've planed to do next if I take longer breaks from painting... (didn't start to take serious notes, yet... sometimes I write things down... but I to quickly forget where...) So... to keep track of the progress and as a reminder for myself:
I painted another layer... not as planned pure administratum grey but a 4:1 mix of administratum and mechanicus... the pure administratum was a little too brighter... next layer will be pure administratum then... still unsure if to switch to edgehedgehighlights for the last two colors or to keep layering and do edges after/before the washing...
Oh and as you see he's you a red rim on his back... so it's a male terradon...

Tips, critics and any other kind of comments is very welcome!

 

I am curious how the sculpted terradon body will turn out. I really like how you have painted them so far.

I also like how you painted the three saurus figures. The newest one does look very tall, and very well painted , great color scheme.

 

Time for washing the beast!


Hope it turns out like I imagined... might be I started to dark... let's see how it looks when it got it's wash tomorrow...

 

Here he is... washed and stored in the shelf to help me concentrate on my exams...

Also here is what I've done on the razordon...

The skink hero... next to his mate... the nearly finished priest number two...

And alone...

Hope you like it!
Good night!

 

I don't want to nitpick, but I just noticed the chief's hand is the wrong way.

 

He's a veteran... that's an old wound... healing in a wired position...

 

I've been slacking off keeping up with this thread... But that cloak you did looks really good.
