Blood Bowl! Couldn't resist painting the classic teams.
The Pitch!(Bases)
Before i get on with the steps on the Black orc, i should note that having done the messiest part of the paint job on the Reavers , I’ve based them.
I wanted the effect of a grass pitch, so i used a static grass applicator to create the below……
Really .....really f***ing irritating...the photos import in what ever orientation they feel like....It’s the first time I’ve used this thing, so i got a few 9V shocks and there is now static grass all over the place. I’m pretty chuffed with the result though.
I should also mention the base on Oaf’s feet….
.....face palm......I want the bases to reflect the home pitches… So naturally the the Greenskins are in the Badlands south of the the Empire.
- Oaf’s Base was first covered in Citadel’s texture paint ‘AGRELLAN BADLAND’.
- Once dry this was washed using Devlan Mud.( Now ‘Aggrax earth shade’).
- To finish the dried mud it was lightly dry brushed with Vallejo Model Colour-Khaki -70.988
- The pitch lines were done by dry brushing( Not too dry) with Vallejo Model Colour-White-70.951
The static grass tuft was from the Army Painter ‘Wasteland Tufts’ blister.
Tufts might become less of a requirement to buy with the applicator on the scene now, but i had these from before i bought it. Buuut….i don’t know whether i’ll ever be bothered to experiment with different flocks and static grasses to create specific styles…we’ll see.
