I already used GW matt finishing spray and the model was washed with black Nurn Oil as I always did in the past using blue shift colours (on the spaceships, for example). Guess I used to much colorshif paint this time in the effort to layer different colourshift shades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rathnard Posted April 27, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 @Caedrus So this month i finished my Twisted Horrors (9x5=45). I ended up sticking with the original scheme i came up with, and I'm pretty satisfied with how it came out. I've still got that Breachling i was planning to paint, so we'll see if i can get him done over the next few days. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lusciousmccabe Posted April 28, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Moon's done. Working on the second one. This month's going to be down to the wire if I get in at all. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post emiba Posted April 28, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Hello! I haven't been very active here this month but I have done my due diligence. Apart from Kirai below I've also got a second Onryo painted, picture to follow when I get around to take one. (Thought I had but apparently not.) I'll probably go back and redo her eyes as I was working in poor light and for some reason, an unsteady hand. The shears are my first attempt at NMM, so I'll likely practice and get back to that as well. If anyone has a good YouTube tutorial on NMM, that'd be swell. Cheers! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Franchute Posted April 28, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 @Caedrus I know I said I would finish that mage, but I impulsively decided to fast paint a couple of constructs. Here a porkchop for 6ss, putting me at 20ss: A rail golem should also be coming in the next days. I want to add a couple of OSL and finish the base first. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 I failed. BUT... not in the way you would think I simply used bit too much varnish so the model is currently shiny. From my experience - the same happend with Iggy - it will be OK in a month or two. I also moved and will have to figure out how to take photos since I no longer have my Poor Man's Lighbox available. Until I take proper photos, here is a single out of focus, overlit picture of my second - and oh so shiny - Malifaux Rat 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post emiba Posted April 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 And here's the Onryo. @Caedrus, this puts me at 20 for the month. Thanks! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Franchute Posted April 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 This is the current state of the rail golem I mentioned. @Caedrus These 11 stones would make me finish the month at 31 ss. The question is should I add smoke stains on the top of these pipes? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Mulligan for me. Busy month combined with packing my house up has made for zero free time. I did keep my paint and models out though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper cookware would never have occurred to me. Good chance to break out these awesome Scale 75 copper paints I picked up a couple of months ago...combined with Franchute's idea for brownish "camo", I think the next BW should have a lot more visual interest.

Yeah, but it's Gremlin camouflage...maybe it's last year's camo that's all dried out and gross but "ah cain't hunt without mah lucky headdress!" @NikodemusThat's a nice example of how even a "bog standard" (as you phrased it) freehand, when executed well, can really elevate a model. Kudos. I agree with your assessment of the bird, and 100% understand the allure of the fluorescent paint! @Stranglelove Don't be too hard on yourself. The eyes are a good size and pointing in the same direction, which is 2/3 of the battle right there. A bit of lining round the outside and you're good to go. Like Nikodemus and Franchute, I paint the eyes first on all of my models. I make the whites as sloppy as I need to, then just overpaint the extra with brown-black and leave a little showing when I do the rest of the face. Also: I like the bit of freehand you've done on her obi. Simple and effective. @Purple Mist That colorshift paint looks great. I'm wondering how it looks next to standard paint (that cape, for example) on the model when you move the model around. Since the highlights on the cape don't move, is there any kind of weird dissonance between the two materials? Do you find that you have to change your highlighting (more/less contrast, sharper transitions, whatever) to get it to look right? Would love to see that caped model from the back.

When I'm tired and still want to paint something, I paint rusty constucts. Always the same recipe: Prime the mini in brown (here GW Mournfang Brown) Wash of dark brown all over the miniature (here GW Agrax Earthshade) Drybrush of GW Mournfang Brown Drybrush of orange (here GW Blazing Orange) Drybrush of some metalic color (GW leadbelcher) Light of a brighter metalic color (GW ironbreaker and runefang steel) I finally add some brown and orange here and there to get some rust back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 My hazardous mushroom terrain ended up being a very last minute rush job on painting and on the terrain. It is functional but not great looking. The mushrooms are on 30 mm bases and are magnetized so that they don't get in the way of models moving. I do have an excuse for my last-minute-ness this month: during a momentary lapse of reason I decided that three miniature games were not enough to keep me up all night so I bought and starting painting my first WH 40K army. What the heck was I thinking? Cheer all. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 @Caedrus I'm going to have to mulligan! Thought I'd finally made my peace with The Beast Within and then discovered the ridiculous pointless detail on the soles of his feet stops him sitting properly on his base I'll have to redo that before I finish painting him. 😠 On the other hand I didn't paint Ferdinand Vogel or that building I pledged, so really can't blame this all on the models. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the cape, painted with standar colours, create a contrast that put in evidence the armor. I always try to gain some contrast with my models, for example selecting the right base, with CSPs it was easier to achive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bedjy Posted May 1, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Well, so here I am ! Sorry I didn't give you much stuff to see during the whole month, I've mostly be busy upgrading my board made of 30x30 (12"x12") parts. The Zeppelin is brand new (or if we can say new for a wreckage) (Won't say i've build a board, since I've mostly done some upgrade, even if it has been a lot of work), around 20 parts like the ones in photos, and every piece of scenery I own that has grass on it. , I'll count for something like 30 or 40 for the whole if you're ok with it @Caedrus. Also, I've started painting my Cult of the Burning man ! You can find a few models I'm quite proud to show you, I hope you'll like ! 6 models, so 30Ss if I'm correct. And there is the last one, a Bayou smuggler (base will be done with a bunch of other models later). 6Ss. So Terrain : 30SsTos : 30 Ss Bayou Smuggler : 6Ss. for a total of 66Ss. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
