Godtear Ascended Pledge Painting by Lawnor

The plan for the weekend was to finish off Rattlebone and then base and varnish the current batch.  However, I started thinking about how I was going to paint Raith Marid and decided I would follow one of Duncan’s Skink guides as I had no better ideas and thought I might learn something new so now he’s mostly painted and basing and varnishing can wait for him.

While watching that guide I noticed another video for painting cool looking jade weapons.  I was concerned about painting his armour steel and the blades steel so now I’m thinking this could break up the model and I’m keen to try this guide on something.  Any thoughts?  Also, what colour should I paint the shoulder gem, or his cloth/leather?

I’ve plugged my skin tones in to a colour wheel app as best as I can and here’s the results.  I’m thinking I make the coins on the skirt copper and the sash a yellow / yellowy-brown.  The skirt should likely be a generic leather matching the material on the bracers as a neutral background?

I finished 2 more warbands over the weekend and made more progress on the third. I’ll base and varnish them all at the same time once they’re done.  Then I think I’ll just have 5 more to go, 3 of which are already started.

I was also lucky enough to win a Golden Button for my efforts so far!

First day back at work (It sucks) so I’ve had very little time to paint.  I’ve gotten the black done, painted some rope on a banner, and highlighted the bone on the totems and banner.  Tomorrow I think its leather on the Orks, which should just leave the red cloths on their leader and the fire on his axe.

New years eve was a painting write off and I spent most of today babysitting, but this evening I managed to finish off the metals.  Its back to work tomorrow morning, and in the evening I have to figure out what colours I’m painting the rest.  The orks look mostly done now so those decisions should be simple enough (leather, black cloth, some red cloth and fire on the axe.  However, I have no idea how to handle the scales for Sneeki Pete and his goblins.  Some of them look like they are wearing the scale.  Others look like thescales are part of them.  I’ve no idea how to handle them.  Pics of painted pieces would be appreciated.

I spent most of today pretending to be a “responsible adult” by doing lots of housework, and I’ve a freind on his way over for some Space Hulk now so I’ve not done much painting today.  I’ve painted the hair, undercoated the metal areas, put down a single layer of bronze base coat and done a little work on the banner.  I’ve people coming round tomorrow for new years eve board gaming so I probably won’t get to pick up a brush at all.

Thats everything based and varnshed and put on one side to set properly.  Now to pick the next warband to start on.  Orky skin I think?

OK ts a few hours later and its time for bed.  Here’s my progress.

I finished the 2 undead warbands today, taking me up to 7 of 15 warbands finished.  I’ve started basing them all and I’ll have them varnished tomorrow and then start work on the next warband, whichever that may be.
