Awesome mournfang.

 

Managed to paint up the boat, decided to do it more traditionally rather than ethereal. Going to have lots of colour on the death world forest but am still lost about where to even begin with it. Think I will just need to go for it.

Okay last month didn't work. Crazy good stuff. Had the family over, but all the painting gear in a cabinet and couldn't find the time afterwards to get started again. On the plus side it's mostly because of some very cool and zombie related videos I had the opportunity to shoot! So same goal as last month:

Goal
Stormcast mage (with first OSL attempt) 
 Frigate crew
Cauldron crew
Stretch
- Frigate
- Garreks Reavers

whoop whoop! It’s all stretch now, baby!

Well done on everyone who is hitting stretch goals. 

 

I have managed to paint up the scenery for my armies on parade, just need to do the actual board, oh yeah and the entire army (although I’ve done the bases). My theme is underwater idoneth so have just used the death world scenery as pseudo-coral reef type stuff. There was a lot of stuff in the killteam box and found it really fun to paint up, I think it’s going to work better for idoneth than it does for 40k where I understand there is a bit of hate for it. 

 

Feeling quite motivated at the moment after a bit of burnout.

That's a great looking Morathi @Dodo, the red stripe along the snake body is particularly eye-catching!

I've finished up the last of the Shadespire Fyreslayers to add to the Iron Jaws from earlier in the month and, as there was no painting competition at my local store this month, I jumped back onto the Stormcast train in an attempt to get the rest of the Stormcast painted by the end of the year. New year, new army and all that.

Working on some Vanguard Hunters at the moment, but doubt they'll be finished before October.

That boat is amazing. It's really similar to what I was thinking of doing actually.

Can you tell me what colours you used for the wood as I'm having a hard time imagining how to get a waterlogged wood effect.

 

As for my pledge, I've taken a very big detour as my wife got hospitalised half way through the month so I've just been painting what I feel like.

So far managed to do the following;

2 Eternal Guard (sans bases)

1 Morsarr Guard (sans base)

1 Branchwraith

1 Kurnoth Hunter

Wardroth Beetle (working on Alarielle herself now)

 

I'll try and post pictures later today :)

Sure thing. I sprayed black, then heavy dry brush of rhinox hide, I then dry brushed steel legion drab. Randomly made more passes in certain areas but didn’t think too much about where, works quite nicely when you go slightly lighter in the centre of the curves. Then a further light dry brush of underhive ash, and then screaming skull in smaller amounts. I then washed it with seraphin sepia, Agrax earthshade, Athonian camoshade, reikland fleshade which I put on different panels and sometimes kind of mixed them together. I also thinned them down a little bit more with Lahmian medium and used this to pull the colours together. Did another little bit of screaming skull Dry brush  on some of the edges to bring back a bit of sharpness. To be honest any browns lightening up each time would work and then choosing a couple of different coloured washes works quite well, nice easy way to get a bit of variation, works well on stone as well.

 

The key is to just experiment a bit, but it is a lot of fun to paint up and you can get a rewarding finished item in a fairly short amount of time.
