The Painting Contract - June 2024


Recommended Posts

Made some progress on Stormdrake #1. Pretty happy with the flamey sword for a minutes work, considering it a test for all the flames on characters in the new box ๐Ÿ”ฅalso I realised from the last photos I posted I forgot a bunch of sword hilts - went back and fixed them this morning. Still procrastinating on the big banner ๐Ÿ˜…

Last minute 6 hour Alchemite. The sculpted textures really carried this paint job :D
Pretty happy that I managed to get the army colours on them with the white gloves and blue strap.

I'll try to get better images when I'm doing the big group shot after the rest of the backlog is done. Going on vacation at the end of July and I want to be able to shop for new Cities stuff without having unpainted minis.

Sneaking this in a few days after the due date... naughty of me.ย 

I tried so many different colours for the armour, but in the end went with my original idea; just gold. I'm actually really happy with the end result. To be honest, it's the first miniature I've painted in a long time that I'm 100% satisfied with!ย 

With so much gold on him, I think he'll represent an avarice-themed character in my Hedonites horde. The satchel he's got is obviously filled with gold coins too!ย

I'm usually indifferent to 40k models... but that's got a real glow to it! Lovely bit of work.ย 

Thanks! The Farseer is a really good model. I like the leader / hero models that manage to be distinct and full of character without being oversized.

Looks very nice!

I also got my Skaventide box a few days ago. Testing the color scheme I am going for:

Painting Stormcast really is a vacation after painting Cities of Sigmar for months. These guys paint up so quickly!

Thank you! It's a speed paint army for me, but I put a bit of thought into how I can save time and still get a good result.

The main time-saver I am using is the bronze, which is drybrushed over a black to red zenithal. It means that one step paints like 80% of the model to a pretty good standard. Then the blue accent colour does most of the rest of the work. Going to try it on one of the Ruination dudes next.

Really weird to start from red, but not bad.
