Blog Painting of Renown! (Just kidding... but this is my blog)

AWESOME!!
That ash-flesh is working out so great!

The Lava flesh is a very good idea. I have a vision, but interested how it turns out.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

The ash effect looks good, the models will look great once the details are painted up. Looking forward to seeing the lava effect completed.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Good stuff @Lizards of Renown !

 

Thanks buddy! I'm getting more and more into the painting, in terms of actually enjoying doing it rather than a necessary evil to be able to have my own painted army.

 

If I could like this post multiple times I gladly did so.
The difference this is with when you joined here 2,5 years ago

Grown a lot, you have

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Well, shucks. Thanks meneer

 

Okay, I did it! I quite like it!

 

He looks good, very good

Keep up the great work.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Wow! He looks great! Can't wait to see him once the details and armour are painted up. I'd recommend definitely giving him a varnish once he's done to protect the texture paint as they can be a bit fragile and prone to flaking.

 

That was a bold risk... and one that paid off very well in the end. Excellent work!

 

Thanks guys!

@Explodingzeb you've got a good point. I think GW does a spray specifically for models. I'll check it out. Also for my other guys that I've done so far.

 

So, to be able to enter my Bull Centaurs in the Chaos Dwarfs Online competition, I need to keep the rest of the progress a secret.

As soon as I'm done, I'll start posting on my next project.

 

Good luck! Intrigued ti see the end result

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Good luck to you sir. Stiff competition over there. I got my butt kicked, hopefully you can do better than I...



Avenge me brother!

 

Cool looking effect!

 

That lava skin looks great @Lizards of Renown. Nice job!

 

Thanks dude!

 

"You're crazy. And when I say crazy I mean Witch Elf on Death Night crazy."

The sounds of revelry surrounded them. The Gutted Goblin tavern on the outskirts of a small town in the Border Princes was celebrating the return of a Dwarf Army from a successful Greenskin campaign. The only thing flowing faster than the beer was stories as each of the Dwarfs attempted to out-boast the other.

In a small alcove, two Dwarfs sat together. The speaker was a broad warrior, tall for a Dwarf and with bright orange hair. His temper matched the color earning him the nickname Firebrand from his friends. Durin Thorsguard was part of the crew celebrating, but had stopped when he saw a familiar old face at the back of the Goblin.

Thurin Whitestone looked as pale as his name. His normal ruddy complexion was white and his eyes stared off into the distance as he nursed a tankard of Bugman's Finest.

Seeing he was going to get no response, Durin tried again. "Listen old-timer, I admit that I've seen some crazy things before. I've campaigned against the Dawi Zharr and I know the fire daemons are real. But even I'm having a hard time with this one."

Still staring, Thurin whispered again but his voice started growing in volume as he continued. "The Corrupted Ones have moved beyond that. They have worked out how to anchor the daemons not into iron and steel, but flesh."

Suddenly the old Ranger reached out and grabbed Durin's Tunic. "I saw them Durin. I SAW THEM. A hideous amalgamation of Bull and Dwarf, but burning from within. Eyes of flame and the very skin of the creature bubbling and spitting like molten rock." Seeming to lose what little energy he had mustered he slumped back in his seat. "I saw them," he whispered, "and that is all I can see now."

Durin frowned at the old Ranger. He was a seasoned campaigner but... maybe the battle stress was getting to him. He looked down at Thurin's tankard. That's it. Shouts pulled his attention back to the crowd around the bar, where several of his men were gesturing for him to join them during his favourite drinking song.

"Listen Thurin... Have a drink or two more and then get some rest, eh? It will be alright in the morning." He stood up and brushed off his tunic. "Trust me."

As the other Dwarf walked away, Thurin drew his tankard close as if a talisman against evil.

"That's all I can see now."

 

I love this!
