It's ambitious, but maybe you could do lifeless rock in front of the model and greenery radiating from its footsteps? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit much for a 30 of these but i like your spirit. Might do something like that for the Kurnoth Hunters and the Treelord (cant decide what version im going to build).

Easy approach: (i) start with some texture paste (ii) drybrush warm white; (iii) apply some green / brown / orange (blending the colours on the base); (iv) put a grass / flower tuft here and there. Done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThalmorRepresentative Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Thank you! It's a combination of several colors from Vallejo's new reformulated Game Color Range in a number of layers. Gory Red -> Scarlet Red layer -> thinned Violet Wash -> Gory Red + Scarlett Red layer ->Scarlett Blood Highlight -> Orange Fire Final highlight. I've just finished applying the highlights to the first guardian defender! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I use Citadel bracken and creeping vines on my low-effort forrest bases: I like that they look more in scale with the models than tuffs or natural materials like birch seeds. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks really good, but you have to paint bracken & vines - and highlighting these leafs (as you did) is not something I would call a “low effort base” 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's really pretty quick from my perspective. Just slapping a bunch of basing paste and plants on the base, using washes and drybrushing for colour and about 5 mins of highlighting. Maybe it felt fast to me because I don't feel pressure to paint inside the lines on bases. Got some green on the ground while painting leaves? That's just extra moss now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painbringer Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 My plan for March is to paint Knight Rampager for my Chaos Knights WH40K army and also a unit of Annihilators with Meteoric Grandhammers for AoS. So far, the Knight Rampager takes most of the time (and it's crazy fun to paint): 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 20 more to go eventually once I finish these! They took a first few failed attempts in my experience. I have to approach them with a different technique than how I usually paint, but I think with this scheme I am finding success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arzalyn Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Finished a unit of seekers this week. Just love these big bugs! I'm going to glue them to a normal GW base to be able to magnetize, but I'm not sure if I should do a normal base over the transparent one or not. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves: Citadel Khorne Red base Citadel Trollslayer orange Layer 25/75 water Citadel Trollslayer orange Layer 50/50 water Citadel Yriel Yellow Layer/Glaze 25/75 water Citadel Yriel Yellow Layer/Glaze 50/50 water Glazing/Layering to the highlight part, or what you want to be showing as the brightest part. You can use another layer inbetween the Trollslayer orange and Yriel Yellow with Citadel Fire Dragon Bright also glazing/layering. And if you want it brighter on the yellow parts you can go with Citadel Flash Gitz Yellow and then 50/50 mix with white. Hope this answers your question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
