Kruelboyz: new edition, new army!

Recommended Posts

Hey folks

Time to try something different than undead armies! I really like what GW did with the Kruelboyz, even though it doesn't seem to be everybody's cup of tea. 

I absolutely love them though. So much so that I'm hoping to have a swamp themed terrain set for my gaming room to go alongside them in the near future. 

Anyway, Dominion would be the best place to start, so I got the first models to a battle ready standard:

Still some things to finish on them, like the faces (quite an important bit in fact) and some extra scratches and highlights on the leather parts.

These look great! How did you do that colour and effect on the armour?

The armour is a bascoat of ironhands steel. The whole model received an all over Army painter dark tone wash (synthetic version, thinned with mineral spirit). After that basecoat, it got hit with a mix of matt medium and Vallejo rust pigments, some thinned nihilax oxide in places and a drybrush of steel. The metal bits were given a coat of satin varnish with a tad of army painter dark tone in the end to revive the metallics after an all over matt varnish was applied.

I do love the result, but I think that the bases are too bright compared to the miniatures, and stand out more in comparison. The problem may be with the nurgle´s rot, maybe you shold try darkening the "water" just a little bit...

If I may pry a little deeper into your artistic secrets - is this the same technique you used on the shields as well? They look a little more green/yellow than the armour.

No, these were given a basecoat of Vallejo Bronze and weathered with watered down nihilax oxide. 

It was still shaded deeper with that army painter dark tone wash and given a silver drybrush, so the difference is there, but a bit more subtle.
