terrainguy Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 This continues to be one of my favorite Death armies I’ve ever seen. Keep up the incredible work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmir Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Work still continues on the endless spells: I'll do my best to get proper pictures soon, but my other vice (World of Warcraft) has a new expansion dropping tonight, so I'm going into a typical binge gaming session... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyBothans Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Congrats on the vote from Duncan & Peachy...high praise indeed i have noticed your rusty weapons are exceptionally good, is it airbrush or by hand and whats the process ...if you have the time to explain Cheers, MB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmir Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 The rust is done by hand and a very easy process too: It's a basecoat of leadbelcher, a wash of army painter dark tone (agrax will do just as well), then a mix of matt varnish mixed with vallejo rust pigments (essentially a wash that dries in a "powdery way". A final highlight of steel or silver is then applied, and some micro scratches if I want it to look slightly more fancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshin620 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Those ghastly skulls are great! I just love how thematic all the Endless spells can be with just a paint job. 23 hours ago, Elmir said: I'll do my best to get proper pictures soon, but my other vice (World of Warcraft) has a new expansion dropping tonight, so I'm going into a typical binge gaming session...

ManyBothans Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Thanks for explaining your technique i actually think i have some vallejo rust pigment about !! will it work the same if i use matte medium instead of the Varnish?... oh and have fun on WoW !!!

Elmir Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Oh, the matt medium should work just fine. A bit of thinning with water might be in order, but you'll see... A slightly thicker wash is what I aim for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmir Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 This has nothing to do with painting itself, but I did just get a new place, and this room is going to be made into the mancave dedicated to wargaming. There's still a crapton of work that needs doing, but it is a nice basement room of 40-ish m² to turn into a dedicated AoS/40k space. I think for the next few months, the only painting I'll be doing, won't be done with a size 1 brush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmir Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 So the painting setup is almost completed in that room. My girlfriend also got me the black coach as a Christmas gift! I love the model, but I hate how much of a frontal overhang it has for gaming purposes. So I'm attempting to get it as far back as possible. I made quite a few subassemblies (all the wooden parts of the carriage , the horses and ofc the ghosts are kept separate), allowing me to get a good indication of where the model will be on that big slab of a base. So I filled a lot of the emptiness with my usual rocks and quite a few gravesite stones. The only part that was glued to the base at the start, is the ethereal bit that supports the main carriage bit. I wanted that as far back as possible for minimal front overhang. Here's a few shots of the subassemblies so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmir Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Work continues and the second dreadblade harrow is now (almost) finished, along with 5 reapers. They still need their mat varnish and snow applied to the bases. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WotLK expansion of WoW was basically the inspiration for this army's colour palette. That and the bases of course. I'm still hoping GW will release more soul constructs like the morghasts (with heavier armor) to go for a more deathknight heavy infantry style army in the future.

Elmir Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) So, the black coach is now finished. Proper pictures are coming soon, but I did goof around a bit with the artwork page that came in my Wrath and Rapture box: I'm kind of hoping the FEC vs Skaven box will have similarly styled cool artwork now!
