Manda’s (Amachan) ‘Oiling Up’ Project
Recommendations: 1021
About the Project
In this project I will go through some experimentation with painting in the Grimdark style and using those lessons learned to develop my own, more gritty paint style. I will be using oil paints for the first time in combination with acrylics, enamels and some wax paints, hence the title...

Since this is a repaint of a model I painted before here are pictures of the old version I painted in 2018.
Dynamic Haleth
This is Dynamic Haleth from Hasslefree Miniatures. I painted her in the same colour scheme as my fantasy army just to get a feel of what the new paint scheme is going to look like.

I Got Something Done!
Even though today was a dreadful day with my physical health, I still managed to get the final details on Boudi done. It wasn’t much work, but I am still calling it a win.
The Final Bits!
The final details are done on Haleth from Hasslefree Miniatures, it just needs to dry and then finished pictures and stuff will follow. Most likely in a couple of days or so.
BOUDI!!!
A layer of detailing got done on Boudi tonight. I added a bit of weathering to the base. And I enriched the tones on the skin, hair and cloth and highlighted the metallics. A lot of these touches don’t show well on camera sadly.
The techniques used on the cloth is the same as I have used on the skin before. For the colours I took a little bit brighter colours than the base colour of the cloth is where I painted it.
Oiling Up!
I got a layer of detailing done with oils and enamels on Haleth from Hasslefree Miniatures. While I was not expecting to fix the face, I have made some minor improvements to it.
POTS & Faces....
After having had a struggle with the heat and my POTS I have now been able to do a little bit of hobby. So I got the 2nd layer of shading done on Boudi.
I also primed and basecoated the heads on pikes for my face painting exercise.
Let's Face It!
After Boudi and Haleth are done I got myself a new exercise. As I was chatting with someone about options for practising faces, I recalled the Fireforge Games Folk Rabble have a ton of great head sculpts. And I could use some practice myself…. So I mounted 8 heads on pikes.
