Official tournament rules allow you to use avatars as a proxy for Emissary. Yeah, I intend to use it as the Arcane Emissary when running a Raspy crew - all similarly based, naturally. Some of those Avatar minis had incredible sculpts, I think it'd be a real pity not to use them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's done. Just need to try something a bit different next month. Yeah it's tricky. I'm guessing you overstepped with a lot of your later layers. It took quite a few minis for me to get a half decent grasp on layering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Everything looks so great, everyone! Great progress! Life happened to me this month, and I got distracted by this great model: So this Bokor is the only model I completed this month, for 6ss. But, here's a WIP shot for the other models I got some work done on, got pretty close on the Silurids, just some details to go. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitDalek Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 @Boomstick I really like the colour transition on the cloak and the ghost. Your wisps look promising, too I am digging that bright orange 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion, Viruk! I am going to follow this advice within the next 36 hours. I am just about to post the finished model, so it won't have this improvement, but it will be done. Thanks again---this is a great help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Here is my completed Hoarcat Pride for 5 SS for February. I am going to take Viruk's advice on improving the eyes, but it won't be done before March begins. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Mist Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Here is my completed Hoarcat Pride for 5 SS for February Why two models on the same base? AFAIK inside Hoarcats box there are 3 models and 3 bases...... But all, I pledged Hoarcats past year presenting one model per base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chou Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi there! Here are my (crappy) pictures for February, this month I completed my pledge, yessss! First of all, the Emissary (10 SS). Thanks for the kind comments regarding the bone! I did it with Kislev Flesh as the base colour, then Pallid Wych Flesh for the lights with some white for the final touches, and a little bit of Tuskgor fur added to the Kislev Flesh for the shadows (all GW colours). For the cage I tried to paint it as if it was something like lead, ugly to see, wasted after countless uses, contrary to the rest of metal but I don't think I got the effect (however it looks better in hand). Then the Forgeling for 2 SS. I don't like the model and I just painted it to have all the Mei Feng starter painted, especially now that totems are free. He doesn't like me either. For 5 SS each I painted three rail workers, these guys hit the gym every single day because they are ripped!! Baldie here didn't miss the chance to get in Towelhead's picture. Towelhead in all his glory (which isn't that much). So I painted a total of 27 SS, hope you like it! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 @Purple Mist - it is indeed very similar to the original Ice Golem miniature. And it's a commission but I think it may get used in game as an emissary. @Scatterbrain - basically the cobblestones were layered from dark brown to light beige and then drybrushed with bleached bone-like color. That was followed by a wash of light brown ink, another drybrush and then glazes/washes of various colors + one more very light drybrush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post misterfinn Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 @Caedrus Claiming Big Jake for 5SS. I'm my own harshest critic, and I always have something to say...except for this model. It was a joy to paint and I'm unreservedly pleased with how it came out. It's based to match my other Mercs, but at some point I'd like to do a proper US Southwest desert-style display base for it. Thanks to @Nikodemus and @Butch for their skin tone input on my WIP. I'm glad to see so many finished models in this thread! I'll endeavor to participate more in conversations this next month. Keep up the good work, everyone. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Polar43 Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 well, they are not as pretty as halfway through due to my response to time constraints being "wash everything.....repeatedly", BUT im not unhappy with the result.

Popular Post Viruk Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Couldn't sleep last night so kept myself busy painting Cherry Bomb. Added the finishing touches today and that brings me to a total of 26 ss for this month. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Caedrus Posted February 28, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Caedrus, checking in! I realised that I hadn't uploaded my final pictures of the minis for February. Pathfinder. Messing around with multi-source, multi-strength OSL. I'll call that 'somewhat successful'. Peacekeeper. I'm putting this waaaay up there in my top-ten, most painful miniatures. The joints all needed to be pinned, through tiny articulations. The sculpt is silly (the arms, literally, prohibit the other arm moving), and it manages to be both busy and boring. So, not my favourite. It's done now. @Thedeadclaw: Now that's what I call prolific! @Purple Mist: I love those colours. The photos are excellent, but I think real life would be even better! Here's a link to James Wappel using them on a dragon, if you haven't seen it! @Viruk: As always, gorgeous models. The fact you can paint like that with sleep deprivation just makes me jealous! @Scatterbrain: Enjoy that avatar model! @PetitDalek: I always have little mental back stories for my models. I'm glad I'm not alone in this! Those scenery pieces are delightful. Loving the ducks! @Primate: If you use Reaper paints, they have layering paint triads, which can be a really useful method. @Scatterbrain: I've started using GW's Druchii Violet washes on my brass. It (in my super-humble opinion) makes it look gorgeous, if you're up for an experiment! @Boomstick: I'd never think to use purple and fluorescent green together. You make it look really effective. Kudos! @prof_bycid: I'll be re-basing my Hoarcats to do the same as you, I think. Two-per-base just works better. @Chou: I'm envious of your subtle shadowing skills. Gorgeous. The railworker pants are very nice. Realistically done. @misterfinn: That is, easily, the best Jake I've seen. You've used a super-limited palette, but with such range. I could never do high-contrast shadowing like that. The saturated leather tones are just beautiful. 👍 @Polar43: You were still finished before me! They make an awesome whiskey set. Really cohesive. I reckon you should base them in pools of pseudo-whiskey! Wow. What a month. As prolific as I've seen, and some jaw-dropping models. I'm staggered by the amazing paintwork. Here's to March! Caedrus. 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
