Just a quick update this morning before I head out to work to post some quick pics of my painting progress over the last week or so!
First up, there's a classic Eldar Guardian:
Eldar Guardian
He was a rather quick paint job with lots of red ink which has given him a nice, shiny bit of armour that looks suitably bright for a space Elf. I had originally attempted something a bit more interesting involving a looser technique but the results were so appalling that the figure went into the dettol bath again!
Still, I do have about 20-30 more of these chaps to paint, including Dreadnaughts so I may have to get on with it!
Next up, here's a Ral Partha chaos chappie:
Chaos Marauder
I rather enjoyed painting up a Bob Olley chaos inspired figure as the skull mask and assorted small details really look good together. I tried to avoid lots of super bright armour and went for something a bit more worn and beaten up with lots of washes to give a bit of verdigris, rust and grime to the armour.
Next, another chaos chappy, this time an old Grenadier Evil Knight.
Evil Knight
Again I went for a beaten up and grubby finish which looks ok, if a tad brown (I overdid it with the bronze I think) but he will do as a sellsword or minion in Aeroth!
Last, another Grenadier miniature in the form of a Half Orc:
Half Orc
I was originally going to give him a brown skin, like Orcs in Leviathan are supposed ot have but went for a pale green instead as I felt he needed something to contrast with the dark, rusty armour he wears. I will be incorporating him into my Lord of Havok's warband at some point!
Group Shot
All the best!
Those are some nice looking figures! I love those old grenadier sculpts and have a few dozen waiting to be painted myself.
ReplyDelete...but I love those classic Eldar even more. I'd love to get my hands on some of those!
