Wow! The paint jobs on these are brilliant! So vibrant with so much detail! That case is awesome! The base on that steg looks amazing!

 

Ahh, thanks for making it so much easier for me to... "acquire" your whole beautifully painted collection in one go... Just kidding, it's a really cool box, though!

 

Thhnks a lot man! They took a long while to finish! I am trying to lern to paint faster so that I can keep improving the quality but finish faster painting mu models.... Yeha, at first I wasnt sure about the stegadon rock but at the end I ended Up liking it a lot.. Thanks again man!

Hahahhahhahah Thanks man!!... Actually I was considering on selling it about 3 months ago, really wasnt sure about all the age of sigmar thing or nine age... Am over that noe and i will probably buy kroak, a carnosaur a troglodon, some terradons and some rippers!

 

I'm sure you would have gotten a pretty hefty sum for your miniatures, but glad you decided to stick with them. It means we will see more of your paint jobs!

 

I wanted my cold ones to look different to what you usually see, that is where this color scheme comes into play. It is still on the works but You get the idea.

If you have any sugestions or tips it would ne great! I am not too sure about the head yet.

Here are some pictures:

-----WIP Cold One Cavalry-----

 

Very nice. I think you've achieved a very realistic natural tone. Love the red around the mouth... nice touch.

 

Thanks man! For the scales I used a mixture of green, black and brown but I still to work a little more on them as they are coming out really flat.

Thanks! Yeha I wanted to switch a little from my usually bright color schemes... The guy on top is still going to be somewhat bright

 

Verry kool.

 

Thanks @n810

 

That should create a very nice contrast. I can't wait to see it finished!

 

Wow this looks really cool! Can't wait to see them with a bright rider on top! They are going to look awesome!

 

Damn, that thing looks like computer generated, super clean paint job!

 

That's what I'd want my co to look like!

 

Cheers Bowser I will post some more pics as soon as I have them finished

Thanks Caprasauridae! Glad to see that it looked how I planed! As I mentioned before zi wanted to change my paint stile a bit for this guys

I will be happy to guive you any tips if you need them

 

Thanks that would be great. So how to do the skin? Primed black if I see it right and then? Don't say you used an airbrush!

 

Hahah not at all as @Crowsfoot mentioned I dont use airbrush (YET!!)... I have been wanting yo start for a while now

This is what I did for the skin:
COLORS:
-Black
-White
-Brown
-Yellow
-Bone
-Dark green

Process:
It is all abot layering.
-Start by priming black
-Basecoat with different tones of dark brown (the closer to the belly or the legs the darker)
-Than use dark green to basecoate the escales and a mixure of brown and green to soften the transition
-Than do four diferent layers
--light brown
--light brown with yellow
--light breown with bone
--bone
Hint: use the black and the white to "tune" the colors to the apearence you want.

Make sure to leave some strong contrasta and to only highlight with the bone the higher parts of the model.

Hope this helps
