Lupa15’s Spring Cleaning 2020

Well so much for the best laid plans. In the end I was distracted by some of Alexia’s Risen in the Khador armor.  I decided to paint them in my border legion color scheme.  At the moment 3 of them are fully painted while four more just need highlights on the leather and grey cloth.

Then I decided to revisit this Fyreslayer from Warhammer Quest Silver Tower.  Using the Warhammer TV Fyreslayer Vulkite Berzerker guide I was able to complete the skin and half of the beard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQZCrz3KPpM

Finally I revisited assembling some Athenians for Mortal Gods.  I completed  assembling all of them this weekend and they are ready for priming.

I had previously done some work on Eldrad having finished his base and his cloak (see my project: https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1435477/)

I decided to revisit him for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. So here is the progress so far…

Found this half finished miniature as well and felt inspired to finish him.  I had a list of the different paint mixtures I had used and then left him after a wash.

Here is a few shots of before:

Here is after many highlights and layers:

Found this old Khorne lord half painted and decided to finish him this weekend.  The base was unfinished but I picked out the skulls and then highlighted up the armor with one more layer of paint.

It was relaxing to not have any expectations and just finish a model that I have been wanting to paint for quite a while.  Really accomplishing quite a lot during this quarantine in terms of spring cleaning.

I found this old black miniature on my shelves and decided to start painting her up.  Making quite the progress for a couple days worth of work!

Over the past few days I was able to make some progress on Stheno by finishing the decapitated head, the bone necklace and her hair.  I also started painting the snakes and the metal areas.

I basecoated the gold areas with Citadel Balthasar Gold and then I am going to layer it up to the Citadel Auric Armour Gold as a highlight leaving the base color in the recesses.

The snake under her foot is completed.  I used a mixture of Citadel Doombull Brown and Citadel Wazdakka Red as the base but then highlighted it a mixture of Citadel Wazdakka Red and Citadel Tuskgor Fur.

I am please with how she is coming along.

After a couple of nights adding finishing touches I finally arrived a state that I am happy with.  Here is the finished Euryale!

Once I finished painting the ripped off head/skull I coated it and the hand with Citadel’s Blood for the Blood God.  Once the first layer was dry I went back and added a little more in various places.

As for the column it was coated with a base of Citadel Zandri Dust and Citadel Rakarth Flesh.  I washed the recesses with a mixture of Citadel Lahmian Medium and Citadel Agrax Earthshade.  Finally I highlighted the edges with a mix of Citadel Ushabti Bone and Citadel Rakarth Flesh.
