mrmuffinface Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 The different shares for the gamin and ice is an excellent idea, may have to go back and adjust mine... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiralngCadavr Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 have you tried agrellan earth on any surfaces with more volume? Interested to hear how it takes corners, etc. (i.e. seems like it could flake) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I tried it on Golem's base and some of the paint stuck to his fist so it looks like small parts of ice are attached to it. Not the effect I'd originally intended but I guess it makes sense since he's just put his large fist into the water covered by ice. Also, when applied in thick layer the paint cracks more unevenly and the chunks of ice are more irregular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybarite Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 They look really nice. I really like the fur and "skin" on the wendigo. Looks fantastic! And it contrasts well with the warmer colours of the cowboy. Love it. Rasputina looks great too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zKoTTe Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Love your ice, i might take some inspiration from that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Love your ice, i might take some inspiration from that By all means do that. I picked it up from another user here (AnythingBut) who's shown and explained this method on the forum here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 That backlog is a history, need to change it I've painted all my stuff for now but I expect the backlog to develop after Gencon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus Mcmold Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 The best color scheme for Rasputinas clothes I've seen. Love your ice people as well. I'm still not sure I like the cowboy guy Wendigo is about to cannibalize... if I ever get the mini I might replace him with something else. I've seen two of your crews in real life recently and I must say they look even better in person (I'd say in the flesh - in the paint seems like bad English). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHero Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 That is scarily, beautiful wendigo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingBut Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yeah great stuff. Interestingly enough I have also gone with the cracked ice base on raspy, my wendigo and my acolytes just with build up cork bases. It just makes he crew look a whole lot more united if it's a constant theme. Can I ask out of interest how you do the black/grey on raspys cloak? Maybe it's my own fault for trying to use washes with the dark colours but I can't seem to make my grey and black clothing look striking. Do you just build up the layers and ignore using washes or have you found a good recipe for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I started with black basecoat and applied a few highlights of (don't remember the exact nami,it used to be called chardon granite). At first I mixed it with black and then gradually worked up the highlights so that the transitions were smooth.Then I started adding small amounts of grey and finished with a very light drybrush of pure grey. After that I applied light glazes of black wash mixed with blue Hope it helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Well, now that the painting competition is over I can show the stuff I entered. Nico and his crew: Killjoy: And Fuhatsu ( I had originally intended to enter him in the competition in the diorama category (the piece needed to have at least two models) but the admins suggested moving it to single category. And since Killjoy had already been there, this one has to stay put. ): For more pictures and some comments click here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Mcmold Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 What the..?! I don't remember seeing that Nicodem crew in the competition at all. It's an awesome paintjob and I'd surely remember it. Beautiful Killjoy. That bloodspatter perfectly fills out the large mini (that could look boring without it) and even looks artistic in a way (Dexter Morgan way). I'm not too keen on the Fuhatsu mini itself (nice looking armor though). He looks just too goofy for Ten Thunders (and actually reminds me of Goofy himself). I'm probably going to convert a bandana on him if I ever get him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 This crew was painted for the Burned Offerings contest, the one that you saw in Croatia was either McCabe or Dreamer. I agree - Fuhatsu does look goofy and I see your point. Personally, I like this aesthetics and the "crazy" feel about the model but can see why it may bother others 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHero Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Definitely remember the Nicodem crew because it was one of the ones I had trouble deciding on; it was in my top 5. And I definitely voted for that Killjoy! His shading on his skin, the cleaver, and the base are all so well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 That is the best looking kill hoy i have seen (new sculpt) I was honestly not a fan of him untill i saw your take on him. Well done viruk he is mighty impressive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
