CRC's Crazy Compendium 2; Eclectic Boogaloo
Been a while...I repainted a decal...it's something, right?
Been a bit tumultuous the past few months for me, and I haven’t got much hobby done, but this evening I got bored and decided to go back to the decal on the last mini I paints; the House Glover Stark Outrider. I swear it’s be more logical to actually name the factions after the regions…but I realise why they did it the way they did. Anyway, this is what the shield looked like before I started.
Just an old Imperial Fist symbol (or maybe an Imperial Guard tank?) I had lying around, but it's not a perfect approximation of the House Glover badge...
It should look more like this...so I improvised a repainting.
Started by dotting and dashing some Corvus Black (GW) into the palm area to give the impression of a mail glove beneath the actual gauntlet.
Then moved to picking out the gauntlet itself in Leadblecher (GW). I was hoping I could leave it at this, but the gaps between the fingers and other parts just looked too stark (no pun intended).
So to fix that I went back to Corvus Black to line in the segments of armour, which looks much better, I think, and cleans up the edges of the rather old decal.
And then added a few dots of Stormhost Silver (GW) on the metal to give a bit of pop. Not sure how well it shows up...And that is the total painting I’ve done for 2.5 months…I’m bad at this whole efficiency thing. Hopefully I can get more done soon, but no promises; uni is mild chaos right now…
