Soulsmith Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Well that is good news That's awesome I look forward to reports from you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohojoe Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Quick update as im rushing to get this finished with two weeks left. As you can see I am clearly no painter yet and rushing is not helping that! Trying my hardest at the moment to try and tidy stuff up and get it looking half decent. If I am honest I am really keen to get this project over with so I can start fresh on something new and actually take my time.

Soulsmith Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Looking good! Only thing I would say is the horns of the arachnarok look a bit flat. Otherwise you're painting is so speedy it puts me to shame. Also I hate teh squishy bits on the arachnarok. Just finished those bits on mine and so much correction needed on the carapace.

Just finished those bits on mine and so much correction needed on the carapace.Yeah definitely, I wanna say it's a speed paint job but I can't justify that when I have repainted it a few times haha. I will be honest, it has been my least favourite model to paint. The large flat areas have been more challenging for me than detail as any issues show up so vividly that it's hard to get it looking goodSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yeah I know what you mean, I couldn't fathom tackling it without my airbrush. Still, nice purples going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulsmith Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Totally not jealous of the airbrush. Not a bit. Honest. Give it.Hah, they aren't too pricey really. The compressor I have is a scrappy little beauty type one but it is fine for now, the brush itself isn't too much either. The price came from getting the extractor fan and the mask, not wearing it during and after is a one way ticket to headache city, paint fumes suck. I spend more time cleaning it then painting though so apart from the big stuff that require it I won't be using it. Next thing would probably be maybe a Lord of change.

Mohojoe Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 I don't really have the space for one in my current house. They look super fun though. I imagine for large models they are a bit easier. I must admit I'm fighting the urge to get into Tzeentch at the moment. So many good kits about that I can't settle on my next project Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 It is easier, in that I feel layering or drybrushing can give off the wrong texture or look too overworked. However, they are quite messy tools I wish I had a dedicated area for it. There was a good LoC on the facebook AoS fan group who was painted to Duncan's guide and looked great so might hold off airbrushing! Am looking forward to messing around with Tzeentch, sure you can't grab the odd horror off a bit seller etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was holding off because I think it will be difficult to paint, but maybe the challenge would do me good. Next project im gonna take my time on. I kinda want to find a semi decent list before pulling the trigger though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yeah fair enough me too, I am still not sure how to do 1k of DoT, seems to be either tzaangors only or witchfyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what I really need to do is sit down with the battletome tonight and have a proper flick through. Looking forward to yours, you got a scheme in mind yet?

I think im gonna go wash heavy over white for mine to give a more pale colour Yeah I think I know what I want, really it's cheaper to go for the witchfyre as two units of ten acolyte is one box. Yeah, I am planning on dark eldar esque green armour, grey skin on the beasts and daemons, which blends to purple/pink/blue/yellow (but muted) on tentacles etc. Humans will be pale white or brown skinned, I want a mix, and will tattoo white or black flames coming up from feet depending. Metal will be silver for weapons, trim in bronze. Spot colour purple, maybe purple fabric, but more a violet, muted pale colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm toying with the idea of something based on humboldt squid with the washed out red skin and slightly paler underbelly. No idea on anything other than skin though.

Soulsmith Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Cheers, I think before my ironjawz are done I will grab something to test the scheme out on, maybe a Tzaangor Shaman as taking one is a given. That sounds cool, I found these which is a nice scheme but I want snow bases and it's too pale: It's where I got the idea for blending the tentacles. you could get the same skin tone but with redder tones instead easy, it seems to be washed over a pale basecoat then layered back up leaving the crevices. Also it's different, and I like different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression loads of Tzeentch stuff is not allowed in matched play or requires a summoning pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Nah everything is allowed, basically the big thing is splitting. Pink horror model dies it creates two blue. A blue model dies it becomes two brimstone. The issue is if this creates a new unit, it must cost points in matched. But if there is a below starting number of blues nearby and a pink dies it can replenish that unit of blues without costing points. Same with spells that create tzaangors and spawn, if it makes a new unit (spawn always will) it has to be paid for already. I am not too worried, the tzaangor shaman spell that creates tzaangor from slain models just cast on things your tzaangor are fighting, and leave blues near pinks or simply elect to not split on death.Still very effective, apparently 30 strong tzaangor are horrendously strong, and skyfires are great. I just love the idea of a super strong mage army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok, I think if I do well in the upcoming tourney and get one of the store credit prizes I may treat myself to some then. I am really enjoying the battletome, so many artifacts and spells to play with.
