Model Roundup

Charge! To biscuits!
 Well, ok, it's not entirely finished. The base still needs to be done. Otherwise, the rider and his steed are now as one. Not much to say at this point - the golden headdress was just playing with several of the metallic paints. I should probably take a couple more photos at some point, perhaps once the base has been done.

Put the cookie down.
 The Stormcast Eternal was pretty interesting to paint. A lot of work to get a dark blue going (hint: multiple washes of Nuln Oil) but I'm overall happy with the colour scheme. The base still needs a bit of work as well - stones, maybe some patchy grass. I'll deal with that at a later time. I'm not likely to get onto more of these just yet; the intention was to determine a colour scheme, and later paint more using an airbrush (whenever I get one).
I attempted to give the shield a bit more emphasis by trying to paint some clouds at the bottom, tying in to the lightning bolts coming out of the hammer. It works ok, but I need a lot of practice on painting clouds!

You will give me chocolates.
The Skink Priest is now done, including the base. Actually, the base only took about 10 minutes. It was just Zandri Dust, with differing washes (Agrax was in there, but also Athonian Camoshade, and possibly something else). A bit of messing about with drybrushing (honestly can't recall which colours I used, maybe Underhive Ash, Tyrant Skull, and a light dabbing of Praxeti White in places). Being exact wasn't the point - weathered stone looks more real I find if you don't pay attention and just play around with a few things. I tried to have more Athonian Camoshade show through in cracks and recesses, just to show moss and lichen growing there. It really didn't take long to do it all, and yet gives a very jungle-stone appearance.

Not sure what's next, but it's likely to be back to a terminator of some description.

-- silly painter.
