Nemesis0284 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I've been anxiously awaiting Titania's release since I saw her sculpt, I fell in love with the aesthetic of the crew. It's down to 1 more week before their release and I can't stop thinking about ways to paint and base them. I want to focus on a fairy-tale motif (Titania is the Queen of the Fae in a Midsummer Night's Dream and the whole crew feels very fairy tale to me) The Thorn actively reminds me of Sleeping Beauty, for instance. That being said, I'm unsure what it all means, especially when it come to basing them. (If I could pull off a fairy ring on Titania's base I'd do it in a heartbeat but I don't know how. Oversized mushrooms maybe? Any ideas are welcome, please post pictures, I want inspiration but I'm lost things like color scheme and continuity across the crew.

Nemesis0284 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Those both look really great! I really like the way you made the eerie green swamp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I've used various scenery flocking (mixed autumn turf, burnt grass and bush clumps) to finish my Waldgeist, Bad Juju, Aeslin and The Thorn (in which case only the vine whips are leafy).

How did you get that grey/violet effect @Viruk? Would you mind to tell us what colours you used? Because they look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I've posted some pictures of my titania in the painting challenge. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averlorn Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Joachim, what colours did you use for the skin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Dwarf flesh and grey, it makes the grey a bit browner/pinker and less cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they look great! Thanks, glad you like her! The main color I used was Rakarth Flesh. I mixed it with black wash and applied 3 thin layers as a base color. After that I highlighted it with pure Rakarth Flesh mixing it with a bit of white for a few successive highlights. After that I added some glazes of watered down brown and purple washed. Ti finish the skin off, I applied a few more highlights on elements like chin, brow, nose, fingers with Rakarth flesh mixed with a bit of white.

(Keenan) Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 @Viruk how does the Rakarth flesh compare to old GW elf flesh or p3 ryn flesh (which I used as a base for my Titania mixed with whites)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averlorn Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Thank you Viruk, this will help a lot and end my quest :-D Never considered using Rakarth flesh, although I have the colour at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybaris Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 As for base ideas, autumn leaves on the ground are a given and maybe a tree with a few dead ones still on it would fit best with her theme. She is the autumn queen after all. The theme would extend to her knights, depending on the season they represent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It slightly resembles Dheneb Stone from previous GW line, although it is a bit darker. I think it's a perfect color for undead skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork_Fish Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I just finished painting my Titania model. I wish I could take a decent picture of it, but whatever. Back when Wyrd did metal, they had an evil Mushroom kit; I think you can still get them on the webstore. I have a bunch of them, and I use them on a lot of Neverborn bases. I have Titania standing on the biggest of them, it's basically as wide as a 32 mm base. I also decapitated her, and stuck on the head from the alternate Performer, which has been sitting around from a sale many moons ago. Painted her hair and dress black, red wings, pale skin. Ended up looking very vampire-ish. I also just picked up this crazy thing from GW Which I'm thinking will work well. It was a steal at $25 CAD for over 100 little alien plants.

-Loki- Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I thought about those but all the fluff talks about Titania and her Knights (well, at least the Tooths victims) being surrounded by flowers rapidly growing around her rather than dangerous looking plants. That's more in Liliths wheelhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 @Clockwork_Fish I'd love to see some pictures of your crew and Titania conversions. I used Rain city hobbies for my bases. I used the Forest series, but the Crag series would also be great! I also added some Warhammer Dryad bits to the bases to really get her thirsty roots going!

Clockwork_Fish Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 @Da Git Unfortunately I've never had much luck taking pictures of models. Everything always comes out blurry. I don't think I have the right kind of camera for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikes Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Here's mine. Not the best photo with the blurring depth of field, but the little rock thingy she's on is magnetised so it can be moved to a 30mm base. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork_Fish Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Honestly, I would kill to be able to buy the plant monsters from Mysterious' base separately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
