Popular Post Polar43 Posted February 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Really appreciate the comments and suggestions! @Nikodemus @zesty @lusciousmccabe I've decided to step back and work on Lilitu before going back to finish them, see if I can get enough mojo up to add a few more adjustments before basing. I cant put my finger on why I have such an aversion to these guys 🤔 Anywho, in progress pic of the whip lady 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty pleased with how the colours turned out. Next thing to work on is definitely metallics. For some reason I just hate using metallic paints, I never seem to get them to blend in well with the rest of the model and end up dulling them down quite a bit (see: Sidir's gun). Any tips on getting true metallics to look decent are welcome! I'm toying with the idea of trying enamel metallics but I should probably focus on getting good with acrylics first. Anyway, I'll be starting on a Ruffian next. If I get him done by the end of the month I'll add him to my pledge, otherwise he'll become part of my March pledge.

Caedrus Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 @zesty: I quite like how Massive Voodoo do their true metallic metals [LINK]. I tend to stay waaay away from enamels. Too messy for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Antinea Posted February 16, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Very little progress this week as I was mostly focusing on creating a 7th Sea character for a campaign that started yesterday. Nethertheless I managed to do the shading and highlights on the capes of my Firebranded, and apply some sepia ink wash on skin and leather. In my usual fashion it is an absolute disaster with no smooth blend (it seems that whatever I try to achieve these I fail) and ugly brush strokes. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Harlekin Posted February 17, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 And here is miniature number 2 for February: Carrion Effigy for 4 Stones Took me way too long for those meager 4 Stones. But hey, it's the details nobody will ever recognize except me ^^ I now will try to finish another model for February - cross your fingers for me! @Antinea don't worry too much, your choice of colors is perfect and the capes will look great on the gaming table. If you want to improve: as long as you still see the single strokes of your brush and want to avoid it you didn't thin the color enough. For absolutely smooth blending of colors you should use glazing. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy painting all of you! Hello, some 10 days ago I was on the way to complete my Corner Shop when by accident it gone crashed. 😠 No way at all to repair it.! So, I moved to a different scenic: 3 floors Noble Palace from Streets of Venice range.

Hellomurse Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Here are my Basotho Cavalry. Still using contrast paints for my Abyssinian troops. The bent weapons evaded my attempts to straighten them. 6*10=60ss. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pastori Posted February 21, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Very nice progress on so many miniatures😃. My contribution this month is another two models for Lucius, again practice with contrasts, nmm & some lining. Pretty happy with them, despite the shortcomings. This crew will likely break all my records on time spent per miniature.. But fun times, trying new things and just sitting for a moment to paint.. @Caedrus the Scribe and a lawyer, for 8 more stones. Edit: the bases are from https://www.brokentoadstore.co.uk/index.php?id_category=76&controller=category premium guild ball bases.

Popular Post Nikodemus Posted February 22, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 @Caedrus 10ss done. Finished my pledge a few days ago: Silent Knight, painted up for a buddy. Lots of washes and drybrushing on the wooden armour. Some quick layering on the rest. I imagine it'll get a purple painted base rim before too long now that it's out of my hands It's a neat mini. Lots of potential for some really moody paintjobs. I just went for an uninspired "roughly box art" paint scheme as was requested of me. As a result I wasn't very passioned with this. I like'em flamboyant. But not everything has to be a passion project. I'll gladly hack and be hacked by this thing in future matches. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to my painting desk and work on some electric blue hair to get all this drab out of my system 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lusciousmccabe Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 My output for February: some grim-ish, dark-ish scatter terrain. We'll call it 4 pieces for 20 SS @Caedrus 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antinea Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Some progress after procrastinating for nearly all the week-end. 1st time I'm painting flames. I'm quite pleased with the results. I still have the 3rd one to do, but I ran out of red and orange on my palette. I doubt I will have them done and based by next week-end. But I already have a nearly finished Vanessa Chamber that I can get done in a few hours if need be. And these will be transferred to next month. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbercat Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 @Diddick I got them from Gadzooks Games. They are part of the Gloomburg series from Warcradle Studios, who I believe is part of Wayland Games in the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
