Seraphon Painting Army Log

Really nice conversion!
I love the colorscheme, the bright green and yellow versus the darker cold one.

Keep up the good work:artist:

Got another hero done! Man... All hail the contrast paints!!!1!


I'm getting a little worried about basing however. Once I get all these guys painted, I'm going to have to base them. I know folks who are good at it do the basing and painting separately... But I'm lazy. So....

I would usually just paint the edge black and paint Elmer's glue over the base, sprinkle some gritty flock in a "not pattern" then dip the rest in a second color... But I'm hoping to come up with something more jungle-ish. If anyone has any ideas, that'd be awesome.

But, any who here's a scar veteran on a cold one. View attachment 56388 View attachment 56389 View attachment 56390 View attachment 56391

You could use the GW basing kits and texture/technical paints. I use stirland mud drybrushed with tyrant skull. They also have jungle plants and vines that would be great for a jungle theme. It’s looking great! Keep up the good work!
 
I thought about technical paints... Like I've seen what they can do, and it's not bad at all. I have no real counter argument, save that they look kinda plain. But so do my usual gule and flock jobs...so I can't really say shit.

I haven't been yet, but I'm wondering if they have any tiny plastic foliage at the pet store for decorating fish tanks... Or something like that. Hobby town/lobby will have stuff for model trains, but I dunno how jungle model train guys get. Like, late autumn temperate forrest? Maybe my north American upbringing has spoiled the image of tropical trains... But hey.

I thought vaguely about those pre-made bases that all have matching ruins on them or whatnot... Has anyone used those? Are they worth it? Also, is it worth cutting painted dudes off of bases to use them?
 
Totally missed your mention of gw basing kits. *dons glasses, begins googling*
 
Man that stuff is awesome! Kudos on experimenting so boldly and successfully (imho)!!

Now, please for the love of god tell me what paints you are using where so I can shamelessly copy like the sad painting sheep I am!

Any help is much appreciated by a brother from another cold blooded mother

Warp lightning contrast for the green scales.
Iyanden yellow contrast for the underbelly.
Auric gold washed in Agrax earthshade for the metal.
Red gem paint over the auric gold. (don't remember the name but it's GW)
And some deep sky blue from model colour, washed in Guilliman Blue for the feathers.
Vallejo hot orange for eyes.
Gryph hound orange contrast shields.
Black Templar contrast on the top half of the cold one, and bottom half of the trogladon.
And.... Snake bite leather and cygor brown contrasts for leather and wood respectively....


I think that's it.

So I've been working up a fun list, and I'm thinking about the next box to get, as my sarus warriors sit 80% finished on my bench. Anyone have any opinions on how this list will hold out against Idoneth Deepkin and or Daughters of Kaine?

The Colors look awesome, but i'd like to see some pictures taken in natural light, that will bring out all the more color ;)

That's a totally fair point. I had just configured that corner in the living room, and it was the best lit open space. Didn't consider that it would come out back lit and washed out. I'll take new photos when I get home.
 
What an awesome presentation!
(I find your lack of paintes bases a bit disturbing though)
 
So mysterious :eek: nice use of effects to get that picture.

And good luck with the basing :artist::lurking::D
 
Nice pictures :cool: ;)

Great painted models, love the vibrant colors:artist:

Good luck with the stock ;)
