I think I’m putting my Flames of Wars Airborne company on hold for the moment. I’m happy to finally have them all primed and assembled. That alone was an accomplishment. I’ve adjusted Fire and finished up a couple of miniatures
The Griffin, from Reaper was interesting. Minimal work in terms of gluing the wings and base, which was an old one I had lying around. It had a hole in it but the model covered it up. But instead of a black, grey or white prime, I use Rust-oleum Bright Coat Metalic Finish Gold.
I wanted to create a “Golden Griffin” but try a reverse paint of sorts. Leaving bits of gold showing as I guess an undercoat, rather than highlighted or drybrushed on. Pulled out the old grass/flock and added it as my usual rocky grey didn’t provide enough contrast.
I picked up the Nolzur’s Griffon for comparison and Reaper Bones version is bigger but both could be used with riders
Spirit of the Forest was a fun paint, using Citadel Stirland Mud texture paint and flock/grass. I used mutated colors like Citadel Red Gote for the berries and very light Ryza Rust.
Working on a bit of terrain assembly- Kill Team Death World Forest. Almost done just a few more spruce then I’ll start painting.
