Blog Suds Painting & Kitbashes of 2020

Thank you! I'm pretty pleased with it

I reshaped the shield to be a bit more like a Birch Leaf & some shin guards, I think it helps sell the model even more as an Order thing and less of a Beast of Chaos

Still work to be done, but I could call it finished and be happy

 

Said updates:

 

Awesome conversion, best use of those heads that I have seen so far

 

Nice extra touches

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thanks everyone!

I'm thrilled so many like it! I'm thinking of doing light greenstuff work over the chaos markings and then etching in Lumineth runes. To do that... do you let the GS dry a bit and then do it or do it when its fresh with water so the blade doesn't stick?

 

I haven't seen them used on much yet! I just knew I wanted to do something like this once I saw em lol

 

I'm not so sure, it's very imposing but looks a little TOO big. Anyway, great job Suds!

 

Admittedly it's a bit big, however the way I see it is that it's a war mask that hides the true face, masks are generally exaggerated in size *shrug*

Thank you! I think after some greenstuff work it'll look rather fitting

 

So... I have a Slann coming... I have the original Citadel Coatl...

How crazy would it be to combine them somehow....

 

My motivation for painting has been rather low the past few days, I did however get some work done on my Scinari Cathallar, I can almost call her done.

With the lack of motivation to paint, my motivation to build and prime has increased. Today I primed 3 skinks and 2 kroxigors, the 3 skinks are handlers to my Salamander. I started paintint 1 skink and 1 Kroxigor, but stopped after 1 or 2 coats of base colors.

The most exciting part I think is what I created today in the form of a kitbash This is Kitbash #2 for my Hyshian Minotaur race, a Banner Bearer! I think I have also come up with a name for the Race itself, the Hathorians. Named after the Egyptian Goddess Hathor, she is often depicted as a white cow & is also associated with rebirth, nourishment, etc. I'll likely adopt the Egyptian Goddess as their Diety as well, Hesat.

Anyway, I hope you like the kitbash! There is still greenstuff work to be done and I may add 1 or 2 more things, but otherwise they are both done and need to be primed. I need one more Avalenor head to build my third and final model for the unit of 3

 

Final build of the banner bearer & unit leader. Pictured with each Banner Bearer & Truestone Seneschal of each of my Stoneguard units. My Alarith units grow

 

I really like your creations, time in time again. It seems like you have an infamous amount of parts to kitbashing with

What base model did you use for your Banner Bearer?

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Nice colors you've got going on here.
I still can't look past the massively sculpted hand and feet...

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thanks! And yeah lol the hands and feet kinda kill me a bit....

 

I really appreciate that man, I really rnjoy kitbashing, so I deeply appreciate that you rnjoy my crazy adventures into that side of the hobby. As for the parts... they're drying up lol

I am however planning something big... Goddess big....


Also if anyone is interested I posted on a subreddit a early wip look at some homebrew for my kitbashes:
