SteamHammer Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 No poll this time as there's only one faction that hasn't had a go. Sorry about the lighting, I really need to get some whiter lights now that the days are dark and grey. Those weapons are actually silvery metal not gold which shows how off the colours look.

SteamHammer Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I can only see the small pic, looks like the link to a larger version is broken. Odd, works for me. Maybe whatever random photobucket server used was timing out when you checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 It worked on my pad, but chrome blocked it as a popup. Go figure... Good stuff Steam, he does look really good in blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Worked this time, odd. I like the way you painted Shang, a different approach but it definitely worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamHammer Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Down to the last 4. Mei Feng and the archers. Now if I was great at freehand then I'd paint her tattooed like Elodie Yung in District 13 Ultimatum. But I know that my attempts at that would end up as black blobs all over her. Maybe future me can re-paint her years from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamHammer Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Thanks. Patience my young padawan. They might be done tonight or perhaps tomorrow night depending on how much I can do. I got some base coats done last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 You might consider adding some wash to the recesses and to the metal areas but they look very nice anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Your models are nice and clean. But I feel they lack the necessary 'pop'. Maybe a couple more highlights/shades would do the trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks both. They have had washes but you're right that maybe they need a bit more highlighting to pick bits out. ---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ---------- That's it.

edonil Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Very nice! Especially like the kneeling archer, he came out very well. I like the color choices too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks. Rather than make a whole new post I thought I'd just append it to this one. The aftermath 5 months. 6 factions. 60 models. I'm done, the backlog has been removed. It's gone from this: To this: We've had highs, Avatar Pandora. And lows, Collodi. A new material to play with thanks to the switch to plastic. Great to work with, fantastic details but damn is it fiddly. Especially the ladies. Back in the past with Chaos warriors and orcs you had slabs of muscle to pick out details to highlight, sheets of armour to shade. It was a simpler time. Oh well, everyone likes a challenge. Lessons learnt: I hate puppets, marionettes, small Neverborn in general.Take extra care removing plastic parts from a sprue and make sure theres there's something on the model's feet to make a solid join to the base.Either paint all matching models at the same time or make notes about how you mixed colours. Trying to match the Peacekeeper to the other constructs was really annoying.Did I mention puppets? Somehow I'm no longer keen to get Puppet Wars. So what's next? First a break from miniatures. I'm going to try and make more scenery so that we can have games on something other than slums or random badlands settlement. But I still have plenty of miniatures to paint in the new year.
