morella Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 So, I finally got this crew done (started over 2 years ago, but it got put aside due to life getting hectic). I am hoping to actually start playing the game soon since summer break is starting in a few weeks. Anyway, before I put the clear coat on, any small suggestions? I tried fiddling with highlights on the black, but they were too much, so I tried to tone them down, which mostly obliterated them (highlighting is not something I excel at), so I decided I may come back to them in the future. Right now I have dozens and dozens of other minis to work on. If you have any suggestions for small improvements I welcome them, or any other comments too. I will be painting the black bases in brown to match the others (the DM bases are from dragonforge, basing is something else I just don't do well). Thanks.

Guild Monkee Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Not sure I'm liking the brown lips on the DMs bases but otherwise I'm liking what I see. The DMs really stand out as nicely painted. Kudos for sticking to the fluff with the judges white duster too, painting white is always tough (a choice I opted out of for that very reason!).

Requirement Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I was going to say, your choice to paint white... ballsy. I like it and it turned out much better than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morella Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks for your comments. I was unsure about the brown lip as well, it is somewhat reminiscent of baby poo. I tried black but didn't care for it - I had considered doing faction colors on the lips, so I may try a burgundy or deeper brown. The white coat was a thematic choice - I am a sucker for fluff congruity. Judge's coat has so many layers of paint where I kept shading then fixing the mess I made. Originally I was going with a warmer brown shaded dirty white, but it just looked dingy so I went to a cooler black shade. In future I plan to use black and white as accents only as much as possible as it is tough to get them right. Thanks again for your thoughts.
