Aeon Trespass: Odyssey (base game, expansion and godform miniatures)

This is one of the coolest looking titans in the base game in my opinion. The body, the base, the pose, the vibe it is all there making the miniature really stand out in my opinion. The skin didnt really come out as I wanted as I went a bit heavy on the Guilliman Flesh wash. You will see when I get to the godform miniatures where I use the same skin recipe they are a bit lighter. So lesson learned and applied in the future 😉

This one came out better than expected. Took a while to get the green leather straps right. Should have pushed the brown tint on it a bit more if you look at the art of this titan, but I still think it came out great!

After painting some primordials I switched to painting some titans again. Now the legs of this titan were annoying to paint because of all the straps across the legs and the patches of skin in between.

Painted this miniature partially at the same time as the Nietzschean as the recipe for the skin is the same. Finished it after I was done with the Nietzschean. Happy with how this turned out. Looks quite the same as the art.

I thought I could paint the Nietzschean quite quickly, but the fire effect on the Nietzschean took way longer than I thought. I used GW Mephiston Red first but it looked off. It was too dark so I went with a lighter red, namely AK Deep Red.

This was an interesting one. I painted the skin of Cyclonus only using layering which created a good look if I say so myself. I wanted to wash it with some contrast paint, but decided against it as I thought it already looked good enough. You will see for the other primordials (like Hermesian Pursuer for example) I did use blending, but for this miniature I decided against it. This is the only primordial where I didnt use blending for the skin.

This is one of the miniatures Im most proud of, because this is the first miniature I practiced blending and glazing on. I have to admit that this miniature is a bit rough around the edges, because you can see some streaks on it, but it looks great to me. It took me some time to get the miniature looking like this but I am very pleased with it.
