NeverEnding Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 This is all very much a WIP, all I've got left is some small details (eyes...) a Silent One and Rasputina herself. Im so afraid of painting cloth that I've been staring at them all night, this is really my first time painting a model and caring about details...Hope you guys like it! (basing is going to be done soonish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Great work! They make me feel cold so I guess the winter theme works! Looking forward to your take on Raspy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karn987 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Ohhh I like how the Ice Golem came out, I like the edging on his craginess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Er1k Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 yeh I love the Ice Golem too. Are you planning snow bases for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverEnding Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 yeah i spent an obscene amount of time making them look that way, im happy with the result though. @Er1k- Yeah I was going to do a mix of stones and snow, going for mountainous with the bases. I have the snow but just not the sand right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always used Games Workshop's sand but recently I have found Gale Force 9's fine gravel is a much better product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverEnding Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I dont know where I could find that...the closest hobby place is focused more on model trains and airplanes. They have woodland scenics stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er1k Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 @Neverending. I forgot to ask, where do you buy your Malifaux, I'm coming to DC in September and might be looking to pick up some bits and pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverEnding Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I actually order my stuff online but the closest places to me that have it are named Games Parlor. One is in Chantilly VA and the other is in Woodbridge VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captaincarrot Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Love the Ice Golem. I think that model lends itself to great paintjobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverEnding Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Update from the frontlines: Rasputina is done, but not pretty at all. I need to paintstrip and redo all of it....I have no idea how to paint clothing. Its pretty bad. I'm forseeing the same problem with my silent one so I haven't touched her yet.

Omenbringer Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I dont know where I could find that...the closest hobby place is focused more on model trains and airplanes. They have woodland scenics stuff Woodland scenics is great stuff for basing (and a lot cheaper because of the bulk). Would recommend though that you buy a few colors of the flock and static grass and mix them together (to better mimic real ground cover). Also if you want to add some snow effects to your December crew I would strongly recommend their Water Effect and Snow Flock (great stuff and very realistic when completely dry).

NeverEnding Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 how do you use the snow/water effect efficiently because that sounds perfect. Mixing flocks looks nice and I think that I might do it now that the ideas in my head. I also am going to build a table soon so the more the merrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverEnding Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 epiphany, I dislike drybrushing. Its fast and easy but definately more suited to games like warhammer where each individual models details are lost in the mob. I need to strip the paint off my Rasp but she'll be done quickly I promise. Till the I'm working on my Freikorps. Brace yourself for that thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 A matter of taste. I like drybrushing as a source of soft highlighting. I find most people follow the GW style of painting and dislike the stark, direct highlights, as I think they look silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverEnding Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I actually agree with that, to be more specific with my remark. I dislike as a method to paint the model. I pretty much only drybrushed my Cerberus and it looks ok but when it comes to painting cloaks and other objects as a layer of its own I find it lacking.

Dark Alleycat Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Also it has many uses for helping to break up a large flat expanse of one color like on a cloak or something like that. It,just like every other tool in your painting arsenal has its uses. Though I do agree it works as a primary tool for 40k where you have bunches of models equipped similarly. Plus there are just certain things that a light drybrush works the best for giving the proper highlighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
