DynamicCalories Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Excellent takes on the standards @Vasshpit and @Lardidar! Especially loving those White Stormcast, how did you get such a lovely clean effect? I think I will likely magnetise my Chaos Knights when I get them, will be an interesting foray into some slightly more advanced modelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Routasydän Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Nice alternative theme @Lardidar but I gotta say the blueish boots dont really fit in it for me, dark brown or black would probably look more normal but then again, not so original.

Callidan Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'm liking the blood bound Lardidar. The boots might be just a little bit too blue but it looks like you did an awesome job on them. I always have trouble with doing leather my self never turns out right. Can't wait to see more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lardidar Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I thought the same thing but just went with it...I'll change it up to a black I think. Thanks for the honest critique. Edit - The same color is used on the string for his skulls, do you all think it works ok there? I didn't mind there it but thought the boots were too big a detail when I'd finished.

Soulsmith Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 @Vasshpit That is a an excellent white, props! Also great bloodbound, though I agree on the boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lardidar Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Changed up the boots and had a go at the new basing paint...kinda impressed. Going to add some tufts once they arrive from Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasshpit Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks @Soulsmith @DynamicCalories and all who liked. The White is: base of Administratum Gray a few watered down layers of Vallejo white A wash of Administratum Gray, focusing more on edges another layer of watered down Vallejo white Final highlight of Vallejo Foundation White. This makes it pop! When I'm done ill defiantly take some proper pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Here is the army all assembled at last. It's two 1000 point forces - Daughters (complete with Chalice of Red Wine) and Sylvaneth. Wish me luck getting them all done in 7 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Routasydän Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I just cant think of how some people can get so much painting done and usually to a really good standard I feel its been a good month if I can finish like 2-5 minis, excellent if I do more Guess thats just too bad.. and it doesnt help that I paint two minis and I go and buy like two new boxes of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially on the paint two, buy two boxes front. With January almost up, so far I've managed to finish off 5 ironbreakers and 1 dwarf warrior, a little less progress than I was hoping for. I guess enough for a progress pic though, will see about getting one tonight. So the sensible thing to do is decide to do two 1000 point armies instead, right? I've got a pretty decent start with the Chaos stuff in the starter box, and this week I've been painting up the slaughterpriest from WD for a Silver Tower game this weekend, so might as well aim for 1000pts of Chaos too.

Lardidar Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 A test bloodreaver ... I'm pretty happy with it but I may change up the trousers to be a bit darker. Now painting one of each was easy...time to knock out ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lardidar Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thank you, I'm really falling in love with painting again TV hasn't been on all week...podcasts and the brush. So I'm thinking. Khorne lord, secretor, stoker, and skull grinder for heroes 10 warriors and 20 reapers for battleline 2 Khorgorath for some big monster fun...could also either have a 3rd or the Goreblade battalion in the 1000pts Now onto building...the stuff in here is really inspiring, a great thread.

Darth Alec Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Lovely work guys. Some great experimenting and tips going around. You guys are exactly what I was hoping for, friendly and active! It's been a month now, how's everyone doing? Anyone making good progress? Waiting to start? Learned some new techniques? Mine's a lot slower than I'd like, but I'm getting stuff done. Working on a Doomwheel. Such a brilliant model. Done the majority of it, so just a lot of detailing left.

DynamicCalories Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Got my Blightkings box in the mail! Fun but exasperating kit to put together. Because you can only make five, I had to make the champ, standard bearer and musician and thus couldn't make the two handed guys. So, I chopped up the scythe and gave it to the champion in a minor conversion, and messed around with some heads here and there. I now officially hate green stuff after trying to work with it (I probably need better tools than the improv stuff I am using) and I have also cut the pad of my thumb with a craft knife. Still, I want another box of BKs so I can make both the axe and scythe guy, as well as use the bell in the belly torso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lardidar Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 @Darth Alec I learned how to use the basing paint...they didn't exist when I last painted. I'm building my Blood warriors tonight, clipping a fair few spikes off, not a big fan of showing someone is evil by making them super spiky.

Lardidar Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I have one or two citadel. In the picture is the entire army painter range I picked up a few weeks back. Got a few Vallejo and at vapnatak I'm going to look at some foundry... Always loved paints and trying different things. I saw your orc in the flesh today, very nice job.Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 @Lardidar Thanks! When were you in? I was painting from 1 til 5, so I may have seen you! I'd have been the one with the brutes, endlessly painting skin for hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe change the cloth colour the guys have on their bodies? 4 minutes ago, DGH875 said: Just joined here and getting back into the hobby, I'm aiming to build a Slannesh daemon army.
