  1. The Blightkings are great! As is the whole army but the Blightkings are especially successfull because you have a nice level of contrast going on. Main reason why is that you have a nice balance between warm and cold colours. The photography may not be helping in that regard with your other pieces. Generally with any miniature you also need areas of simplicity so that your eye gets a rest every once in a while. Nurgle are tricky to pull off in this manner as the temptation is to load up on the contagion. Especially plaguebearers as you dont have the armour to naturally break things up. I feel that rather than focusing on the technical for now I would work on getting the balance right between Warm and cold colours, high levels of detail and simplicity and finally levels of contrast. If you improved on only these points I think you would see a hige leap in the final output, even before working on improving blending and other advanced techniques. Once the basics are there then I would look to improve on techniques.
  2. Oops realised I have the wrong end of the stick with my previous post here. Please ignore.
  3. Its a bit difficult to tell from the photos but this looks like a nice quick result. Best of luck in your games.
  4. Really nice colour scheme! I love how you have put little accents of all the colours into the base as well. I dont know whether its something you were planning to do, from reading your post it seems you need this done quick, but if you could get some OSL action happening on the flames and glowy blue bits it would really cap it off. Perhaps a quick belt with the airbrush? Great work steve, very impressive result.
  5. I like the new multicoloured spot colours! Really helps make things pop as well as being very tribal Seraphon looking. One thing I may suggest is to try to get some more of the stronger blue that is on the skinks onto the dino. Perhaps only on the top half of the body. Will really help tie things together and give them a more cohesive look.

    Adepticon

    Nice! Could be the lighting but I did worry that things were getting a bit lost on the display base. Can be something that people often overlook. Allarielle as a centre piece does become a nice focal point which saves it however. Good luck at Adepticon!
  7. There is definitely a lot to be said for keeping things simple. You always have the option to revisit and expand on the painting so more power to you.
  8. Great work! Love the Bloodbound against the colour of those bases. Very striking! The pure white helmets also pop greatly. The colour schemes for the Bloodbound and catapults are definitely the most successfull. Cant wait to see more.
  9. I agree that the paint applied is a bit thick. I am guessing its to stay vivid on top of the dark armour. A quick way to get around this may be to undercoat in white (not sure if you did or not) and then paint in the dark armour around the undercoat, tidying up mistakes as you go. The armour patches are quite large whereas the white parts are quite fiddly so you may find this an easier prospect. You get to keep your pure white as well as not making the application look to thick. Nice colour scheme though. I always enjoy seeing the bloodbound with alternative paint schemes.
  10. I like this! Nice use of different spot colours. This is a great tabletop standard but if you were looking to elevate the blending here a real quick way to do this, regarding the skin tone, would be to do a diluted wash of Screamer Pink or even Emperor's children. A thin wash of the slightly darker tone will really blend in your hilights. Load up the brush with a good amount of wash and apply it to the skin. It will look really bad until it dries, so a fair amount of faith is required, but when it is finally dry it will astound you how much it will graduate the tone so that you end up with a much smoother blend for what seems like very little extra work. Have an experiment first if you have never tried this before but I think you will be surprised how much this technique could elevate your painting. Also the richer tone of one of the colours I have suggested will help give it all a bit more warmth and as a result more pop. Once again though great work!
