Painting Silver Tower

Now we come to what I just finished today, my first ever attempt at non metallic metal! also the first model I’ve painted in a year and a half! Super happy with what I was able to accomplish here and I defentinly think this is my best looking model now. I have a lot to learn to really improve my non metallic metal technique but I’m happy I tried.

Here are some models that I did before my hiatus that I never posted from silver tower. On the cultist dudes I tried to do like a torn flesh musculature look and I think for the most part I was pretty successful.

Here are the finished Blue Horrors. Very Proud of my work on these ones, I really feel like I was able to make them pop and come to life with my color choice. Hope you all enjoy them too.

Eye And Flames

The Process For painting was as Follows

-2 Layers 50/50 Caledor Sky and Water

-Layer of 50/50 Lahmian Medium/Teclis Blue

-Layer of 50/50 Lahmian Medium/Baharroth Blue

-Layer of 50/50 Water and Blue Horror

My Big mistake on these guys was I painted the hands blue forgetting I needed to do a more green blue layering on them which I will fix in the next step.

Just finished my Skaven for the Silver Tower. Really happy with all the rust effects and everything I was able to accomplish with these. Next up I’ll be doing my blue horrors and I’m thinking of including a painting tutorial on those ones.

I started working on this project about a month ago but tonight I have decided to make it an actual project on here and post. I hadn’t painted models in a while so this is me more or less finding my way back into miniature painting.
