Re: PLOG! A first for me.

Looking very nice. I use a green wash aswell to paint poison and a very thin highlight with a bright green along the edge of the blade.

Re: Severian`s Bunch of Misfits

Update Time It took me quite a while doing my O&G unit filler (counts as 4 trolls) because I never had worked with water effects before. The bits I used are head, hands and weapon from the Troll box and a small poison dart frog from the LM Ripperdactly box. The Troll torso and seaweed “cones” ar...

Re: Drow themed warhammer army - your thoughts?

Just stumbled over your blog, fantastic idea with a great execution. I was never much into the Drow-Theme but this project of yours got me thinking otherwise! :D

Woah 14k WoC in 8 months is very fast, and LOADS of models I guess. Good luck with your Druchii project, don`t forget to post pics :)

Re: Severian`s Bunch of Misfits

Thank you! The gamezone pegasus is easy to work with, you might need some greenstuff to fill in the gaps but thats about it. The model does not come with a base (I think no Gamezone model does actually) and its not that easy to balance the model like that. I recommend putting the horse on some sort ...

Re: Severian`s Bunch of Misfits

Thanks alot guys! Painting and converting is so much fun at the moment (and I guess that won`t change really ;)). Tonight I`m in the process of doing my first water effects on a Troll Unit filler. I should be able to post it soon, hope it turns out well :).

Re: Severian`s Bunch of Misfits

Thank you very much! Btw I already took pictures of my new AoW Dwarf Thunderer unit as I finished painting them this weekend. There are plans for a third Pegasus Rider already aswell (this time a Sorceress tho ). But I think I will finish my Nurgle Bile Troll unit first as I already painted three of...

Re: Severian`s Bunch of Misfits

I thought I post something I already painted nearly 1.5 years ago because it was my first try building a diorama for skirmishing models. All the trees and the rock are magnetized for easy removal/tournament play to be replaced with other shades. The prisoner is the Empire-Fast-Food-Bit from the Ogre...

Re: AVATARS OF WAR PAINTING COMP - NOVICE CATEGORY

Quite a hard decision if I am honest. In the end I am going for Searinox`entry. The brushwork seems to be a bit cleaner and he really tried to show a Cold One on the charge/move which is very hard to do. All in all it was very close however and I think both of you should be proud of what you have ac...

Re: PLOG! A first for me.

As usual great paintjob! Already thinking about how to incorporate some ideas of yours into a few of my models ;)
