It took a little work on the neck to get it to sit right as it looked too low originally. How's the Tzeentch going?

Sleboda Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I finished another Poxwalker last night. Man, many of these guys are juuuuuuust a little off from being zombies for AoS. It would not take much to convert them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These look sweet, would love to know how you did them (for when i inevitably buy some!)Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hope I'm not too late to start this. I endeavour to paint the remaining 8 models of my 20 Moonclan Grots, and finish the 10 Spiderfang Spider Riders I started last week. Hopefully not too much to aim for for a slow painter! (4 weeks overseas after that, so cannot paint ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk Thanks! Here's the thing. I'm painting them using techniques I have not used in the previous 31 years of my painting history. I'm following Duncan's How To video for them The result is a model that looks only about half as good as it should, but still pops on the table and is much, much faster to do. Traditionally, I prime everything white, paint the darkest shade of each color inn the model (black for metal areas), and then highlight about a zillion times up to the high points. This method relies on mid tones, washes, single highlights. It's been very, very difficult to stick to the method, but so far it's going well. My Black Plague experience probably prepped me mentally for this. I have been speed painting and experimenting on those for about a year, and that's made this easier. I have 42 more of these to go, so I'll probably be adding steps as my speed and comfort increase. One specific thing - the tentacles are done with thinned Carroburg washes.

Soulsmith Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 As I haven't actually pledged anything, I am keeping it simple as this month will be busy until the last week or so. I'll finish my ardboyz (all six that are left), and get my brutes and megaboss ready for painting/make a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many complaints about that unit and I don't see it in the pictures. I'm honestly building up a morbid fascination with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
