Warmaster Revolution (10mm Fantasy) – Ogres & Lizardmen

In this post, I’ll share how I painted the details on the savage kin and yetis.  On the savage kin, I painted the pus bubbles and added a bit of gore.

The yetis were used as test models for leather, wood, and bone.  Now that I’m happy with how they came out, I’m in the process of painting these details on the remaining units.  It’s incredibly time consuming, so it’ll be a bit until the next update.  The army is now starting to come together, so the motivation to get to basing remains strong.

Details in the captions.

Due to the large amount of brushwork still to be done and my hectic end-of-year work schedule, progress has been slow but steady.

For clothing on the ogres and savage kin, I used the same method as with the goblins – starting with a very dark grey and working my way up.  Because these models are a little larger, I was able to do some traditional layering in addition to the overbrushing.

As always, details in the captions.

Next up, finishing off the Savage Kin and Yetis.

In this post I detail how I did the brushwork for the goblins’ clothing and also the final skin highlights.  For the cloth, the highlights were overbrushed (wet drybrush) with an old, rough, brush followed by a ghost tint with a soft detail brush.  The skin highlights were applied the usual way with detail brush.  This method gave the best balance between quality results and a reasonable amount of speed.  Even with this in mind, the progress below still took two long painting sessions to complete.

It’ll be a couple weeks until I post any additional progress.  I’m picking up some overtime at work and the pace of brushwork is relatively slow.

As always, details are in the captions.

More to come when I have time to paint again.  C&C always welcome.

Future purchases aside, the Savage Kin are the last addition to the army.  Future updates will cover the considerable amount of brush work and basing that are still to be done.

While the paints were airbrushed, the ghost tints were brushed on for a patchier look.

That covers the basic look of the army.  There’s still lots brushwork to do, not to mention basing.

C&C welcome!

While the purpose of the airbrush work here is to apply a brown basecoat, I also wanted to map out the location of future highlights.  I’ll paint individual wood planks with a brush later, so there’s no need for tinting & washing.

This is a very short update.  Details in the captions.

Next up, Savage Kin.

In this post I cover basecoating the giants.  I decided to go with a black skin tone and will add contrast by painting the beards orange/yellow to go with the lava theme.  Also in this post are two modified elves from Eureka Miniatures.  They sent me these by mistake and let me keep them when the correct item was shipped.  Since I don’t plan on making an elf army, I’ve been looking for excuses to use them elsewhere.  They’ll be added to the giants’ bases as a nod to the old Warhammer giants.

Details in the captions.  At this stage, all colors are zenithally airbrushed.

Vallejo Game Inks Blue and Black mixed with water and flo aid. Applied with a soft brush in two thin coats.

The yetis fur is done.  I did them the same way as the mammoths but with different colors of course.  This post explains how the yeti fur was painted. Details in the captions.

Next up, Giants!

In this post I detail how the ogres were painted.  Details in the captions.
