Completing my W'adrhŭn
The Apex arrives
How I’d gotten this far without doing the leather was confusing but immediately filling me with regret as I realised that meant I now had to be super careful not to ruin my feathers and skin, there was HOURS in this model at this point, perhaps 10hours atleast.
The base is a rather simply dry brushing job, the dirt was actulally Army Painter Speedpaint and here’s the thing, Speedpaint is actually used in a number of area’s, I was shocked at how well they look along side the regular paints, it doesnt have that stand out quality that contrast does which was a nice surprise.
I’ve been using them for a while now as part of a long term test I’ve been preparing, this project was the first time the reactivation actually happened but it was on the pallet and not the model thankfully
Mistake realised
Wait what’s this.. Oooh no, this was the wrong queen, now I have another one to paint..
Oh well I got stuff done and the project is started in… and I havent said this publically in a while.. In a way I am very genuinely proud of, the highlight of the black feathers might have done a little too far but it was supposed to be inspired by rather than a copy of, I can always darken them down later if I need to, for now I am leaving it because I am happy.
I am honestly not a big fan of this game. I find the models too big for mass battle games and the aesthetic of the models in general does not trigger my collector genes. Nonetheless, I agree that the Wadrhun are the exception that could trigger a buying spree.
I also think that you hit the nail on the head with the colour scheme for the T-rex. Really nice. I hope to see more soon.
