You shall go to the Brawl.

Kilgore is now complete, a nice looking model but a pain in the rear to paint, this big bruiser took a week to paint and took a lot of layers of glazes and washes to get some of the effects i was looking for, still not too happy with some of the armour, some areas look to bright and the transitions between dark to bright don’t look right so I might return to him at a later date to blend the colours a bit further.

I was mostly pleased with the skin effect, using a few standard base colours for ork/goblin skin I started with a fairly pale green skin tone then enhanced the colour using citadel glazes, waywatcher green was used in some of the deeper recesses and lamenters yellow was used on the higher points of the muscles. as a final touch I used bloodletter red on the elbow, knuckles and nose, places which would have had scrapes and bruises over time.

I wanted a glowing effect to the gems to give the impression of some kind of arcane power, after the model was mostly finished I went in with the airbrush and began building up a green glow. Any spray that hit the painted areas of the model were touched up with glazes and washes and the edges brightened with green, yellow and white. the gems themselves were darkened using washes around the edges then coated in Citadel clear Mortarion Green to give a glossy shine.

Next one down, Deryn. Not the best model in the set but I do like the character and I do use her often in games so I wanted a fully painted version.

To Start things off I wanted a challenge and Akhet was a decent start to get me used to working with the larger scale miniatures, not only does he have a lot of blending work across the wings but also fire effects something I have no prior experience of painting.
