Haven’t painted any yet, been toying with colouring the base rims to the original colour. Love your subtle approach, did you go back and add or leave the original showing through? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmir Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 My sepulchral guard got finished: And I also update the paintjobs on my first 2 warbands: First, the diversity inspector came by to check on the reavers: While steelheart's champions received some very minor touch ups, mostly on the face and hair. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleboda Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I have a sort of a goal to get all warbands painted before the next ones come out. With that in mind, here are my rush-job Chosen Axes in time before tomorrow. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveman Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) I've never been a Games Workshop consumer until Shadespire but I've painted miniatures for board games recently and for Battletech a looooong time ago. I'm firmly in the amateur camp and happy with just a basecoat, cleanup details then wash. Figured I'd put my work up as I like to think that for the time invested they look pretty good and hopefully inspire others to give it a try knowing you don't have to do two thin coats, wash, drybrush, detail, wash again, drybrush again, etc. Not really knowing the game world I stuck pretty close to what's on the box for most of these: For the Sepulchral Guard I didn't like the idea of them being in "uniform" so I gave the named guys their own color scheme, leaving the Petitioners in khaki: For the Orruks... I just didn't like that bright yellow on them at all and went with something a little more muted: For the Chosen Axes... early in their "Let's Chat" thread someone talked about maybe painting them to look like the Earthen from World of Warcraft (a sort of Golem-like precursor to the Dwarves in that game) and I liked the idea so much I decided to give it a try as I really didn't like their default look: I thought about putting some gold or other color on them but wound up committing to the gray/steel/blue look. I wasn't really happy with them until I got the "sapphire" runes and eyes done and that put it all together for me.

They certainly show that as long as you keep the colors "in between the lines", you will get a good-looking warband! In the future if you want to enhance your painting with minimal effort, I'd suggest drybrushing some select colors, mainly metals hair or cloth, though you have to do this first as it can get messy. Another trick is to use shades to tint colors a bit, such as using agrax earthshade or nuln oil to darken down parts of weapons or armor. Both methods are very quick and don't require much accuracy. Of course, drybrushing and hence adding more definition to some areas of a model might make orther parts look bland.. I'm going to go with orange orcs as well, as soon as I get those models!

Changer Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 So after a few weeks of painting I've finally been able to complete Spiteclaw's Swarm. This is the warband I'll be taking to the Grand Clash next week. I've not quite finished the project for them though, as I'm also building a display based for them! I'll post the full thing up when it's all completed. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking forward to showing the display board off too; it’s nearly finished. The armour recipe is: 50:50 leadbelcher:abbadon black Agrax wash Thinned leadbelcher on the lighter areas Sepia wash Leadbelcher again on the lighter areas Edge highlight of Stormhost Silver Then the dirt and rust isn’t just thinned Mournfang Brown and Troll Slayer Orange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La receta de la armadura es: 50:50 leadbelcher: abbadon ***** Lavado Agrax Thinned leadbelcher en las áreas más claras Sepia lavado Leadbelcher nuevamente en las áreas más claras Punto culminante del borde de Stormhost Silver Entonces la suciedad y el óxido no solo se diluyen Mournfang Brown y Troll Slayer Orange.

Daveman Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 A slow work week meant I was able to knock out Magore's Fiends too! As much as I liked the idea of skulls and lava, it didn't seem to match up with what I think Shadespire is like so I went with an eerie ghost-like river of undeath look... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I planned on doing one of mine like that, with the others in differnt states of burning red hot or just having glowing runes etc, so I'm even more happy to see it looks great when done well. I'm under pressure to make mine look good now, though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 This weekend's accomplishment. No shading or highlighting on the black. I've not been able to do black highlights in the past without the models looking grey or dark blue. I'll probably leave as is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmir Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Finished 2 more! The fyreslayers and ironjawz. I decided to base the fyreslayers on the World of warcraft Dark Iron Dwarves: These models were a lot of fun to paint. Especially the dwarves who actually have very dynamic poses for such short stubby guys! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowing orange eyes wouldn’t be amiss in these ... kind of a burning from the inside. (Especially given the coal colored skin.) Perhaps a little contrast on the beards. Similar to what you’ve done on the plumes on the helms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
