Reply To: What Are You Painting Now?

over the weekend I finished off my second unit of Warpwolf Stalkers.  Given the fur requires a white undercoat and then lots of washes and drybrushes I knew I couldn’t preserve a zenithal preshade on the cloaks to aid the leather so I decided to go with it.  The cloaks got the same treatment as the fur, but with a dedicated off-white drybrush stage at the end.  They were then inked with Scale75 Inktense Chestnut a few times.  I like it 80% of the time as it gives the leather a lot of texture as well as shading, but the rest of the time I’m not convinced.  I’m happy as an experiment, but what do people think of the leather on the cloaks?

Hmm.  Clicking on the pic to see a bigger version actually load a smaller version.  Perhaps this needs looking at, or perhaps I just need to learn not to upload “tall” images?

 

I also started work on my Great Old Ork Project (https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1227839/#snav) and finished off 12 Gretchins, except for the bases as I ran out of the basing paint.  Well, I didn’t exactly run out.  I couldn’t get to the last of it at the bottom of those stupid double size GW bottles.  I’ll take a saw to it later once I’ve bought more.
