Patriark Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hello! After a long hiatus from any sort of hobbyrelated activity, I thought I'd give Age of Sigmar a go when the generals handbook arrived. The goal is to have 1000 points done by december 10. Given how painstakingly slow I paint, it will be a challange. this is what I am aiming for: mawcrusha warchanter 10 ardboyz 3 goregruntas ironfist Doesn't seem much, but given my total lack of paintspeed it will be a challange. Anyhow, this is my first goregrunta. Hope you like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Proppa! Love the color scheme, and the basing is really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Love the painting, I was looking to do a similar scheme but inverted so blue armor, orange details. One thing I not sure about is the snow it's a bit messy, what did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going for a semi melted snow slush effect, but I am also a bit sceptical as to the end result. Any suggestions as to what i should do? More snow? Less?

Ansuz Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I also use GF9 snow, but I mix it 50/50 with PVA Glue and then apply it to the base. If you are interested, I can show you some pics to see the result. Cool paint scheme, I specially like the red and the Grubta's skin/fur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixon Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Nice paint job. But as some of the other are suggesting, the base is not doing the model justice. I don't know if it is the snow. But the model actually looks better on the unpainted base. Maybe you should try a simpler base. Sometimes less is more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I like the snow. It looks like snow that's in the process of melting after spending all night on the ground frozen. I'm very familiar with it here in New England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadrielCaine Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I really like your painterly style. It suits the model really well. Cool basing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah you should use baking soda, mix it with white acylic paint and pva glue. Best snow effect you can get ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberto Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 love the grunta flesh...is graveyard earth your base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N_Watson Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Gore grunta looking really good. With regards to you list plan though. You need 3 units (brutes, ardboys, gore grunta) to us the ironfist formation. You can't us it with just two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlatan Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Excellent scheme. Love the basing too. For the snow, I don't recommend baking soda coz it can discolour over time and go yellowish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the products (ie pva baking soda and paint) used can be of a varied quality it could be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
