Reply To: What Are You Painting Now?

Finished off the painting portion of the 4ground dwarf and got it matte varnished. Next up will be the base, eventually, and some proper shots from a little further away. Although the phone isn’t great for colour reproduction, largely because I never hold the miniature in the light the same way, it does give me closer shots than I would normally take so I can see all the various areas I might try to improve on. This one was the last bit currently of my experiment with a different faster painting technique, my next step will be to try and keep the speed increase (granted this isn’t a high bar to step over with me) while finding a way to make the transitions smoother in the first couple of steps so as to make the final glazing and detailing steps more efficient and get…well smoother transitions 🙂 I’ll be putting some of the intermediate pictures up in the project, hopefully sometime this evening, here https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1300263/

And in a shocking turn of events I actually managed to get the half squad of EDF heavies from Albedo not only assembled but zenith primed. I went with a black-grey as the base instead of pure black this time around to see if this might make the initial stages a little easier while keeping some of the advantages of bothering with pre-shading. I guess I’ll see.
