Kyriakin Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Considering that I have a degenerative eye disease that massively compromises my vision, this will have to do. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I’d be more than happy with that even if I had 20/20 vision (which I don’t). Well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 First time in my life following a tutorial. was looking for something different for Garreks Reavers. Busy working it up to deep purple to Slaanesh grey edges. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Goal: progress: final skin result: final highlight ruined the depth of colour but it’s a good enough first try. Up to next one. ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandzak-Miniatures Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any projects but since I’ve had some time and switching to something different to keep the creative juices flowing.. I’ve dredged up a ~10year old unfinished conversion of a breyherd shaman I was making for Mordheim.. was based on critters from a swamp.. I present to you the Egret Great Breyshaman I have since scrapped his neck, back, and arm feathers & am currently reworking them into what you see here. still a lot left to do before figuring out what kind of ‘clothes’ and trinkets he will have. If anyone is wondering what bits: -bloodletter body -OOP Bret men@arms standard bearer crane top. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokoshi Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Quick shot, poor picture quality but posting helps keeping a good pace. So : metal to finish (just base and wash), musician arm to stick back, and banner pattern to paint. And ofc bases to paint in black. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syph0n Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Nearly have another unit of Drakespawn Knights done. Just the gold to do, tidy up some black and silver. Then of course the snow bases. You can see the gold here: And I couldn't resist starting the Hydra at last. A coat of Stegadon Scale and Nuln Oil so far. Its going to be greener ultimately, and will be a mid ground colour wise between my Black Dragon, which will use similar tones, and the greeny-blue Drakespawn. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWilddog Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Got my converted Ghoul King on Zombie Dragon primed and laid down some base coats. Hope to get it done this month! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 First attempts at wet blending done on the tail. Black to xereus purple with naggaroth purple in the middle. Used a light wash after it dried of druchii violet. Looking for tips! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkanaut Admiral Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I found Pirazzo’s Lost Legion! Bought these miniatures about 10 years ago, but didn’t do anything with them and then shelved them. But I’ve dug them out again and I think they could be the start of a Free Peoples army! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need at least 5 (perferably 15) more, but they’re so incredibly rare! Alcatani’s Fellowship minis however are quite common, though still expensive.

The dutch ebay (www.marktplaats.nl) often has old Dogs of war coming by. With google translate it should be easy enough to set up a notification if they become available Currently on sale: Ricco's Guard, Midas the mean, Dogs of War general, Galloper Cannon. Less relevant but still available: the giants of albion and Khan's wolf riders. Edited November 14, 2018 by Kramer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandzak-Miniatures Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Well I’m late to the party.. Still working on my shaman. More detail and remaking the staff. Still a lot of work to be done 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkanaut Admiral Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 @Kramer Awesome stuff. Good to know that they’re readily available. I’m looking to create a themed list, and therefore I think The Lost Legion are the best for this on account of the mixed weapons. It’s just a shame that they’re so rare. If anyone spots any Lost Legion minis for sale, please let me know! I know of one set on sale, but it’s £145, which is pretty steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I know it’s wednesday but I’m excited by the progress, did all the wings and bronze on my 4 Khinerai. But I must admit that I’m seriously messing up so much more on these then the first test model 😓 Knowing it’s due to concentration sadly doesn’t help. Just look at the smudges at the wings 😅 1st pic WIP, 2nd finishes test model. also looking for tips on how to paint eyes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the smudges at the wings 😅 1st pic WIP, 2nd finishes test model. also looking for tips on how to paint eyes. Painting eyes is difficult. However, these are my steps: Paint basecoat and wash on face. If the wash is dark enough in the eye recess, paint a nice couple of thin coats of white. Use a good tipped brush and the paint has to be a good consistency. Too thin and runs, too thick and you won't have the working time before your brush is drying. If it's not dark in the eye sockets, Rhinox or black before the white. In either case, a bit of darkness around the edges helps define the eye. When the white is white, paint black lines, not dots, from above the eye to below. This gets a bit of black on the eyebrow or cheek, but you should get two even lines on both sides. Make sure you look at the model dead on here. Tidy up the face when you finish the layers. I'm rubbish at photography but these might show the outcome.

I regularly get it wrong myself but practice makes perfect. One other tip, is that you need to have your hands in such a way that your hands are very steady. I can't really explain it, but the way I hold the painting grip means my left thumb and left little finger sort of support the right hand. I'd take a photo but I need 3 hands to show you! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swooper Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Are we not doing WiP Wednesdays anymore? I think it would be a shame to let this thread die. Here's what's on my table, a batch of ten adorable puppies! Managed to get three colours and a wash on them today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syph0n Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I've been painting Tyranids for Kill Team lately so haven't felt I should overdo the posts on an AoS forum because people aren't here for that. I love WIP Wednesday. Even though Weds are a pain for me (meetings after work, daughter at Guides), it forces me to do a bit of hobby I might ordinarily skip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weazel Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Okay I'll bite, even if it's not Wednesday anymore. I've dabbled into some Shadespire before but these are my first true AoS models. They are pretty much done for tabletop duties but I still need to do some basing and add a coat of varnish. Hope you like them! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
